Robin Milford , the son of Humphrey Milford, who publishes at the Oxford University Press, is a brilliant member of the younger group of British composers. He has, of course, not written very much as yet, but listeners may remember a charming little operetta performed a few years ago entitled The Shoemaker, and a more recent composition of his performed last December at Bournemouth by Sir Dan Godfrey entitled ' Sir Walter's Overture '.
This miniature quartet is written in a form which is fast becoming traditional, but which originated not more than twenty years ago with the competitions organised by W. W. Cobbett , a venture from which rose so many splendid British chamber music works.

(two pianofortes)
Brahms's Liebeslieder (Love Songs) Waltzes were written originally for pianoforte duet with four vocal parts ad libitum. The idea was that they could be either instrumental or vocal. The concert rooms have taken full advantage of this, and more often than not they are heard today as instrumental music scored by other hands than the composers for orchestra. This performance is, however, an adaptation for two pianofortes from the original pianoforte duet version. In Germany, where the waltz is slightly heavier in texture than we know it here, the Liebeslieder waltzes have always been extremely popular. Much of Brahms's early popularity in Germany dates from their publication.

Tonight's talk will explain the mass movement for the education of the people that has been launched in China with the approval of Dr. Yen. Miss Margery Fry , who only returned from
China in the spring, will describe some of the obstacles, such as the written language difficulties and the handicap of illiteracy, and how she feels certain that with the resiliency of Chinese character and the national adaptability to absorb foreign influences, the obstacles will be overcome.
Miss Fry, who was for five years
Principal of Somerville College, Oxford, is well known to listeners. She gave five illuminating talks in the summer of last year under the title of ' Pioneers of a Humaner World ', and contributed to the 'In Trouble' series, under the heading ' Women in Prison ', on June 6 this year.
