At' The Organ of The Trocadero
Cinema, Elephant and Castle
While Haydn visited London in 1791 and 1794, he had numerous requests by wealthy amateurs for compositions.
At this time two of the most fashionable instruments among amateurs were the German flute' and the 'cello. I he Students' Sonata, which has been arranged for piano by Ernest Haywood , and is now to be played on the organ by Quentin Maclean , was originally published as a Trio for two German flutes and 'cello.
Mr. Haywood says that when he copied the original parts into score for his own use he ' was surprised to find that the first trio in C played so well for the piano that it required practically no adjustment or arrangement '. In view of the fact that Haydn is said to have sketched all his work at the piano and this particular work is so essentially pianistic in style, Mr. Haywood says : ' can well believe that this Sonata was arranged for trio after composition '.

British History -2
' The Great White Company'
RHODA POWER
Last Wednesday Miss Rhoda Power gave her first broadcast since her return from America, and today she is to tell you something about ' The Great White Company ', a name given to the ' Adventurers of England ' who, under the title of the Hudson's Bay Company, were granted a charter by Charles II in 1670, which gave them a monopoly of the trade of all lands watered by streams flowing into Hudson Bay.
In a description of Hudson Bay written in the eighteenth century, it was said ' The commodities for trade here are guns, powder, shot, cloth, hatchets, kettles, tobacco, etc., which the English exchanged for Furs, Beavers, Martin, Fox, Moose, and other pelting (skins).'
Today you will hear something of the fur traders described in this quotation.
