THE GRINKE TRIO :
Frederick Grinke (violin). Florence Hooton (violoncello). Dorothy Manley
(pianoforte)
The more one thinks about the premature death of Schubert in the light of his last group of instrumental works, the more one realises what masterpieces the world has lost. Whereas in song Schubert was a pioneer of the romantic movement, even from the early part of his career when he wrote the ' Erlking', it was not until the last three or four years of his life that he began to apply a romantic technique, particularly as regards harmony, to classical instrumental forms ; for example, the C major Symphony, String Quartet in G, Op. 161, String Quintet in C, Op. 163, and the Piano Trios in B flat and E flat.
The Piano Trios were composed in 1827 for the Bocklet-Schuppanzigh-Linke Trio with which Schubert at that time was closely associated. Both works are extremely romantic in conception, and if we agree to Schumann's description of the E flat being ' passive, feminine, lyrical' and the B flat being 'active, masculine, dramatic ', they should be considered complementary.

This evening Philip Noel Baker is to discuss international co-operation from the aspect of refugee work-obviously an enormously important work, not alas ! likely to become less so. He will show what the League of Nations has done for refugees and what it is still doing, and, as'an illustration, will deal especially with the League's treatment of the Greek refugees-a million or so of them placed in Europe.
Noel Baker was a member of the League of Nations Section of British Delegations during the Peace Conference, and was attached to the Secretariat until 1922. He was Private Secretary to the President of the Disarmament Conference at Geneva from
1932 to 1933, and won the Howland Prize for distinguished work in the sphere of Government, at Yale University, the following year.
Of his many publications, his book
'The League of Nations at Work ' is of particular interest in view of today's broadcast.
