This evening Mr. Eric Newton is to pursue his inquiry into art in general, as well as into modern art. He has to show what art is. What it is for? What the artist is getting at. Has he a duty to his public? Has his public a duty to him?
In four more preliminary talks Mr. Newton will discuss 'The Place of the Subject', 'The Question of Beauty', 'Style, Choice of Medium, and Craftsmanship', and 'The Artist's Problems'.
He will then, in six further broadcasts bring to the microphone on one occasion, a leader of a discussion group, and on other occasions various artists and critics of opposing schools. For the aim of this series is to free modern art from the atmosphere of controversy that surrounds it. Is it as bad, or as good, as its opponents and champions make out?
Listeners are advised to read, as a guide, the new pamphlet 'The Approach to Art', obtainable at the B.B.C. Publications Department, or from any local B.B.C. office. We regret that the wrong price was inadvertently given in last week's issue. The correct price is 7s., 0d. post free.
Miecio Horszowski is a Pole, born in Lwow in 1892. Before he was four he was having piano lessons, before he was six he was being written about in the Press as a musical phenomenon. Leschetizki then took him up, made him learn all music thoroughly so that by the time he was twelve he was prepared to astonish the world. This he proceeded to do.
Two years later he played Beethoven and Mozart Concertos in the Scala. Milan ; in Rome was given a gold medal by the Pope ; migrated to Paris, weathered the War ; and, recovering, toured Europe and South America with the persistence and success of an accepted front rank virtuoso, though London has not figured prominently in his itinerary. When he finds time to be at home Horszowski lives in Milan.

The name Sammartini, which is merely a form of St. Martin, is very common in Italy, and no one can say how many Sammartinis there have been in the world of music throughout the ages. But there were two who established a real contact with this country, and one of them, Giuseppe, lived here for many years, playing and composing. For a time he held the post of Director of Chamber Music in the Household of the Prince of Wales. We call him Sammartini of London to distinguish him from his brother, Giovanni (Sammartini of Milan).
