Glazunov's Violin Concerto
Glazunov's Violin Concerto in A minor was completed at St. Petersburg in 1904 and published in the following year. It is dedicated to the eminent violinist, Leopold Auer. There are three distinct movements of contrasting character, but they follow one another without a break, giving an impression of one movement of changing moods. It opens in moderate time, and the solo violin enters immediately with a broad flowing melody which has a large say in the first section. There are several changes of mood and of time before the actual second. movement appears in a slower triple time. The theme of this will be recognised as closely akin to the opening. Striking use is made of the harp in the accompanying figures of this section. Again, here, the movement passes through varying moods, and a brilliant cadenza for the solo instrument leads straight into the lively last movement.
Chausson's Symphony
Although Chausson's Symphony in B flat is an extremely individual work, in certain more or less superficial characteristics it shows the influence of Franck. Particularly is this true of some of Chausson's melodies and his use of the cyclic' form. The first movement, which begins with a slow section introducing the principal theme that plays such an important part throughout the work, is very dramatic in character. The slow movement is deeply felt music and contains many beautiful touches of harmonic and orchestral colour. The third and last movement is full of great vitality and power, and is heroic in character.

James Jones
This evening, in the last broadcast of the series, James Jones is to talk of the sixty-eight miles of the Thames between the Nore Lightship and Teddington - a highway older, longer, more important, and less familiar than any other in London. Mr. Jones has actually lived on London's river for many years of his life, and he knows it backwards-its argot, customs, trades, its beachcombers, police, lightermen. He sees it as a village street on which 100,000 are employed. He is a well-known London journalist, and author of a book called 'The Romance of London's River', published last summer.

The famous composer, Leslie Stuart (Thomas Augustine Barrett ), was born in Southport in 1864 and died in 1928. For fourteen years he was a church organist-seven. years at the Roman Catholic Cathedral, Salford, and seven at the Church of the Holy Name, Manchester.
He sprang into prominence as a composer of songs, came to London permanently in 1895, and wrote ' Lousiana Lou' for Ellaline Terriss in The Shop Girl. His songs in An Artist's Model won recognition, but it was with ' Soldiers of the Queen ', played on every barrel organ in 1895 and 1896, that he made his name. He wrote many of Eugene Stratton 's most popular songs-' Little Dolly Dayjdream ', ' I may be Crazy ', ' The Lily of Laguna '—and composed a number of musical comedy successes, among which was Florodora.

Mendelssohn's chamber music contains some of his best and most fascinating works, notably the Octet in F for strings which was composed at the age of sixteen. It has been said of the Octet that it is much more of a symphony scored for a string orchestra than true chamber music. Indeed, Mendelssohn appears to have anticipated this criticism, for he desired that the Octet should be played in symphonic style. The Scherzo, the third movement in the Octet, was re-scored for orchestra by the composer himself for a concert of the Royal Philharmonic Society in London, which he conducted in 1829. Thisjgraceful little movement is, according to the composer, an attempt at a description of the Walpurgis Night in Goethe's Faust.
