'A Profound Lament'
Schumann's Phantasie was composed in 1836 and dedicated to Liszt. The music bears the following motto from Schlegel : ' Through all the tones in Earth's many-coloured dream there sounds one soft long-drawn note for the secret listener.' But its poetic basis is rather more explicitly described by Schumann himself in a letter to Clara Wieck , who later became his wife : ' I have finished a Phantasie in three movements, which I sketched down to the details in June, 1836. I do not think I ever wrote anything more impassioned than the first movement; it is a profound lament about you.'
A descriptive Commentary and Interviews by GEORGE BLAKE from the Games Park, Luss,
Loch Lomond
(By permission of the Chieftain and Committee)
This afternoon listeners are to hear a description of the Luss Highland Gathering that has been a tradition in Dumbartonshire for over sixty years. It was founded by local farmers and sportsmen who were all members of the Luss company of the Dumbartonshire Volunteers ; great Scottish athletes like J. Fleming and Donald Dinnie have competed in the games.
The games ground is situated in the lovely Luss country over against Loch Lomond , by the River Luss. beneath the well-wooded lands of Camstraddan and the rugged Luss Hills.
George Blake , who is to give the commentary, must be one of the best-known names on the air in Scotland.
