by WILLIAM PRIMROSE Of the thirty-one concertos for various instruments written by Haydn, five were for the lira da braccio, described as a tenor violin, but actually a kind of viola. It had seven strings against the viola's four, but two of them were duplications in the octave, while another was the E string of the violin. Such music can, therefore. with careful transcription, be faithfully rendered by a skilled modern viola player.
The Largo of Nardini was written for the violin. as were the majority of the compositions of this celebrated eighteenth-century violinist. In the repertory of a virtuoso viola player, however, much violin music is of necessity included.
Paganini's La Campanella, in its original form, is one of the movements of his second concerto for the violin, here transcribed for the viola by this evening's soloist, William Primrose. It is one of the most famous of Paganini's compositions, and is perhaps best known by Liszt's striking transcription of it for the pianoforte.

The Houston Sisters 'The Irresistibles'
Ivor Vintor and Company
The Eight Step Sisters (Trained by Mrs. Rodney Hudson)
The B.B.C. Theatre Orchestra, under the direction of S. Kneale Kelley will play during the programme.
This programme should mark a fresh high-water mark in the progress of the new fortnightly series of Music Hall bills. A brilliant bill has been assembled. Jack Hylton and his Boys, the outstanding show band of the day, broadcast for the first time since June 14. The 'irresistible' Houston Sisters will be heard for the first time since Radiolympia. Marie Burke, favourite of musical comedy and vaudeville audiences, has not broadcast since July, 1931. Then there is Charles Heslop, who devised Moonlight and Everything, heard last March, making his first solo appearance in broadcast Variety. Rupert Hazell and Elsie Day contribute 'harmonylarity' with the assistance of a 'phono-fiddle,' and that diminutive comedian, Ivor Vintor, returns to the microphone after nearly four years' absence in a sketch with the full music-hall flavour.
