Although very few of the operas written by Auber are heard anywhere today, the overtures to these operas are as popular as ever. The Fairy Lake was produced in 1839 on a text by Scribe, the prolific dramatist who collaborated for forty years with Auber. The overture to this opera shows not only Auber's invariable skill as a dramatist in music, but it is one of the most graceful of his overtures.
Towards the end of 1872 Tchaikovsky wrote to his brother that his Second Symphony was nearing .completion and that he was unable to think of anything else : ' It seems to me to .be my best work, at least as regards correctness of form. a quality for which I have not so far distinguished myself.' It was performed early in the following year with great success. Known as the Little Russian Symphony because the finale is based on a little Russian folk-song called ' The Crane ' it is quite a charming work but the music is not so original and powerful as that of the later symphonies The last movement has always been the popular one.

The Rt. Hon. WINSTON S. CHURCHILL,
C.H.; M.P.
The objection was made by a reader a few weeks ago that no sailor, no airman, and only one soldier was to speak in this series. Last week another listener replied that there was nothing in this, as even when war was declared, the great strategy was not determined by sailor, airman, or soldier, but by the civil government.
Tonight's talk, therefore, is doubly interesting inasmuch as Mr. Winston Churchill is a soldier who has seen active service in three campaigns and is not only a statesman as well, but was First Lord of the Admiralty when the Great War broke out. Soldier, statesman, historian-it may be doubted if anyone alive today has had more varied experience or possesses more brilliant qualities.

Overture, Der Bauer ein Schelm (The
Knavish Peasant)
Symphony No. 2, in D minor
I. Allegro maestoso ; 2. Poco adagio; 3. Scherzo: Vivace; 4. Finale: Allegro
Dvorak wrote a number of operas, many of which are frequently performed in his own country, but never yet in England... The Knavish Peasant is a comic opera in two acts. It was first produced in Prague in 1877 and a good deal in Germany in the immediate following years. We are too much apt to associate Dvorak with symphonic music only. There is, however, much fine music in his operas, and in Prague at least they are esteemed very highly.
