This very interesting but rarely heard Quartet, discovered as recently as 1918, bears the date February 26, 1814, and traces have been found of an earlier trio version of it, without a 'cello part. As it is, it is much earlier than most of Schubert's better' known chamber works ; the composer ; was barely seventeen at the time. The Quartet was actually written for, flute, guitar, viola and 'cello—probably for home performance. The guitar was a fashionable instrument at that period and it is not treated here merely as an accompanying part. It is an equal partner with the others and takes its full share of thematic interest. 1 Problems of tone quality have particular attraction for the romanticist', writes Willi Kahl. ' 'In this case it was the peculiar timbre of the guitar and its blending with the strings that attracted Schubert'. Nevertheless, the guitar part may be transferred to a harp with admirable effect. An interesting problem is presented by the inscription over the theme of the variations : ' Serenade. Maiden, slumber not yet ? ' This suggests that Schubert had turned to account the theme of one of his own songs, as he did later in the ' Trout ' Quintet and the ' Death and the Maiden ' Quartet. But no such song as this is known.

An Appeal on behalf of Guy's HOSPITAL by Major JOHN HAY BEITH ,
C.B.E., M.C. (Ian Hay)
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]. Guy's Hospital is one of the oldest of the London hospitals, having been opened for the reception of patients on January 6, 1726. From that day to this it has never been closed, and its work increases from year to year.
Though well known throughout the world, it is not very well known by sight to the majority of Londoners, as it is tucked away in a side street just on the south side of London Bridge within a mile of the spot where Thomas Guy , the founder, was born. It is one of the few hospitals in the world which is called after its founder and not after some patron saint. Thomas Guy lies buried in the crypt under the hospital chapel, in accordance with his wishes as expressed in his will.
Guy's Hospital has one of the largest medical and dental schools in England, and it is a well-known training-ground for nurses. Like many other hospitals, it finds its financial needs outstripping its income, owing to the increase in the cost of diagnosis and treatment, and Major Beith will be urging its claims for increased public recognition and support.
