The Isidore Schwiller Sextet has been on the air since May of last year. Essentially a microphone team, it consists of three violins, a viola, 'cello, and double bass. (For some musical items, however, an extra viola takes the place of a violin.) The leader is Isidore Schwiller , the well-known violinist, who is a member of the London Symphony Orchestra. He has done a good deal of solo work in the past-it was he, for instance, who gave a first performance at Queen's Hall of Lalo's Concerto Russe-and for some time he was leader and conductor of the old Carl Rosa Opera Company Orchestra.

Miriam Licette spent her early years in Singapore and then came to England to be educated at Lowther College. Her next move was to Paris, where she studied singing under Mathilde Mar chesi, after which she went on to Milan to study Italian opera. In Rome Mme. Licette made her debut in the title role of Madame Butterfly with great success. On her return to London, she appeared at an orchestral concert under Sir Thomas Beecham , who engaged her for his season of opera in English at the Shaftesbury Theatre. Mme Licette's first broadcast performance was in 1922.

Schumann's Piano Quartet in E flat was composed in 1843, the same year in which the Piano Quintet appeared. Richard Aldrich points out that this genial and romantic work ' owes its inspiration to the same impulse that urged Schumann to the Quintet; the method is the same, the technique shows the same manner of approach as well as the same masterly skill ; the cast of thought is similar ... But it deals, on the whole, with a slighter order of ideas ; the flight of its inspiration is not on the whole, quite so bold or so high. It insinuates its way into the affections of the music lover rather than imposes itself with the irresistible sweep and energy of the quintet.'
Arnold Foster, one of the younger British composers, is a Yorkshireman. He studied composition at the Royal College of Music with Vaughan Williams. His works include ' Pianoforte Concerto on Country Dance Tunes ' (which has been broadcast on several occasions), ' Autumn Idyll' for small orchestra, ' Suite for Strings on English Folk Airs', two volumes of Manx Folk Songs and various arrangements of English and Manx Folk Songs for unaccompanied chorus. Mr. Foster has also made a great many arrangements of folk dance tunes for The English Folk Dance Society. He succeeded Gustav Hoist as Musical Director of Morley College, and is a well-known choral conductor and a music master at Westminster School.
Bliss's Piano Quartet in A minor is, as its opus number would imply, an early work. It was first performed while Bliss was on active service during the war.
