Brahms's first piece of chamber music was the Piano Trio, Op. 8, which appeared in 1854, when he was twenty-one. Thirty-seven years later he gave the world a revised version of it, and a comparison of the two throws a flood of light on his growth to artistic maturity. The broad openings of the first and last movements are kept in the new version, but the movements which grow out of these melodies are quite new in every way. It is the second version which is now almost always played.

To add to the gaiety of the streets this Jubilee year a window-box movement is in progress Hitherto, window-boxes have been mainly associated with hotels and boarding houses and private people with money, though they have always been the pride of the poorer districts. In the East End of every town live the true window-box gardeners, men and women, and children, too, who tend their little window-gardens year after year and grow in a confined space a wonderful succession of flowers.
But Jubilee year may well start a boom for gayer cities. In London Government offices and big stores and shops are to have their window-boxes. Anyone interested may write to [address removed], for a leaflet (free of charge, postage id.) describing the best plants to grow and the construction of boxes.
We are likely to see everywhere this summer schemes of red, white and blue, from the conventional geraniums, marguerites, and lobelias to the more unusual Maggie Motte violas and bachelor buttons white and red, for it is a year to ' Jubilee with flowers '.
This evening Mr. C. H. Middleton is to devote his talk to this very topical subject, and he will give invaluable hints and advice.

By Gypsy PETULENGRO
A year ago Gypsy Petulengro, broadcasting in ' In Town Tonight ', created a sensation. This talk is given by request. :
He traces the history of his Romany descent, and claims to be the son of Borrow's, immortal 'Mr. Petulengro '. In his young days, like other chavis or children, 'he was taught a trade-first peg-making, then the making of whips from rushes, then the making of flowers from the pith of rushes or from turnips and swedes. He learnt tinkering, and still makes brooches and so forth out of wire.
He tells of the gypsy's cunning in making things so as to avoid a peddling licence. Then grist is brought to the mill in the blackberry and mushroom seasons ; and the Romanys are both lace-makers and net-makers. He describes a Romany way of catching a rabbit.
Romany marriage rites, camping-places, the patteran, curses and charms, the burning of the caravan after the death of its owner, herbs for ailments-all these come into this fascinating talk.

Tchaikovsky's ' Swan Lake' is an early work, indeed, the earliest of all his ballets. It is an excellent example of the type of ' classical' baHet which flourished in Russia in the heyday of the Tsardom. The subject is a fairy-tale of a familiar type-princesses changed into swans, a prince who falls in love with one of the swan-princesses, fatal spells, and so on. Tchaikovsky has wedded it with graceful melodious music, less piquantly scored, perhaps, than that of the more famous ' Nut-cracker ' ballet ; but equally charming in its own way.
The Waltz, which forms the second number of the Suite to be played this evening, has always been one of Tchaikovsky's most popular works in his own country, though it has been unjustly neglected abroad.
' The Swan Lake ' has for some time been one of the most popular ballets in the Vic-Wells repertoire

The Octet for Wind Instruments was one of the first fruits of the tendency that originated with Stravinsky's' Pulcinella', in which he had adapted the classical melodies of Pergolesi to his own modern idiom. That was in 1919, and the Octet did not make its appearance until 1923, but of the intervening works only the Concertino for String Quartet points definitely in the same direction, which has come to be known as neo-classic. The Octet is for flute, clarinet, two bassoons. two trumpets, and two trombones. It is classical in form and retains here and there a little of the buffo spirit that went to the making of Mavra, the opera that intervened, in 1922, but what made the deepest impression at the time was the transparent quality of the writing. To adopt a colloquialism, it was all clear and above-board. There were no devices to dazzle or trick the ear. Virtuosity there was certainly, but not used for that purpose. (Text by the composer based on Russian folklore)
