' The Arts-2, 1 h : Pleasure of Music '
SCOTT GODDARD
(with illustrations)
Scott Goddard is second musical critic of The Morning Post. He began his musical career as a chorister at the Temple Church under Sir Walford Davies , and later went to the Royal College of Music, studying composition under Sir Charles Stanford and Charles Wood , organ under Sir Walter Parratt and Sir Walter Alcock , piano under
Herbert Sharpe , and conducting under Adrian Boult. For six years he was music master at Leighton Park School, Reading, and then in 1925 became assistant musical critic of The Observer until 1929 when he joined the musical staff of The Morning Post.
Mr. Goddard frequently appears before the microphone, chiefly in connection with the introductory talks for the BBC Symphony Concerts. He is now to give two talks : The Pleasure of Music ', and a sequel to it entitled ' The Effects of Music '. In this afternoon's talk, ' The Pleasure of Music', he will discuss how people take their music : in the form of a relaxation as they might take a hot bath, or as a kind of bracing tonic in the same way that they might walk across the Downs in a keen wind. Which of these two approaches secures the most from music ? Can music be fully enjoyed just by passive listening, or should the intellect be made to reinforce the ear ?

A Radio Ramble with Robey
Here is a cheerful answer to that much-asked question ' Where's George ? '— Robey, the unanimously elected Prime Minister of Mirth, at the microphone in person. It is not his radio début, but this evening listeners will hear him in a show entirely different from his previous broadcast.
Briefly, the programme will cover
Robev's life from the time of his first appearance on the stage over forty years ago to the present day. And what a life ! Most of it will be described and illustrated by Robey himself. And what George leaves out, Rupert Hazell will fill in-authoritatively, for he has been associated with Robey on and off ever since 1918, when he wrote the classic ' I Mean to Say'. Elsie Day, the soprano and comedienne who is also to appear is Hazell's wife.
Finally, Mario de Pietro is in the cast for an unusual reason, a reason connected with a little known phase of Robey's younger days-a dark secret that will be revealed in a novel manner.
Listeners will remember that this show was originally intended to be broadcast in January, but was necessarily postponed.
' Here's George ' will be repeated in the Regional programme tomorrow afternoon

(First performance of complete work)
Benjamin Britten's Suite for violin and piano was begun in Vienna in November, 1934, and completed in London in June, 1935. The violin part affords the soloist plenty of opportunities for a display of virtuosity, and the idiom throughout is distinctly ' modern '. The work is among those chosen for performance at the forthcoming International Contemporary Music Festival in Barcelona.
