Excerpts from new Publications on a given Theme
New books, and good ones at that, come pouring from the press in such a spate that it is impossible for reviewers to keep pace with them. It is obvious that very few can be dealt with in the times available for broadcast talks on New Books. Partly with an idea of making up for this deficiency to some extent, and partly because the public wants to know what the books are like-not only what they are about and what can be said for or against them-it has been decided to broadcast excerpts from a number of new books on Sunday evenings.
These excerpts will not be taken haphazard, but will be linked together in theme or 'motif', whether they are taken from fiction, biography, science, history, or any other literary form. The link between excerpts will be of the slightest—the quotations will speak for themselves.

(pianoforte) Chopin did not invent the Nocturne.
The composer who did was John Field, who, in his youth, was a pupil of Clementi. An Irishman who spent much of his time in Russia, Field is always supposed to have Chopin considerably in his debt. He was certainly the originator of that type of music which Chopin developed with genius and made practically his own.

Relayed from
The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne
When Leslie Jeffries took over this celebrated orchestra he determined, if possible, to enhance its reputation, and, to judge from the congratulatory letters from listeners, his policy to give the public what they want and to cater for all tastes has admirably succeeded. Varied programmes, tuneful music, bright Sunday nights.
Of the violin solos he has selected to play this evening, the slow 'melody in ' Zigeunerweisen ' (Gipsy Airs), by Sarasate, has become so popular that an English music publisher adapted it as a waltz that is now well known under the title of ' Gypsy Moon ', much in the same way as ' Poem ' by Fibich was adapted.
The Concerto in E minor, although composed in 1844, is still a great favourite on the concert platform, with players and public alike. It has all the facility and grace and polish of Mendelssohn, whilst ' Liebesfreud ' (Love's Joy), by Kreisler, is considered one of his most popular compositions. At the pianoforte, SYDNEY FFOULKES
