Bach's Italian Concerto originally written for the harpsichord, dates from 1735, when the composer was fifty years of age. This concerto is an attempt to apply to one instrument the principles of alternation and of contrast that were observed in writing music for an instrument (or group of instruments) used with some form of orchestra. It is a concerto, but a one man concerto, the only piece so named that Bach ever wrote for one performer. Its title refers to the fact that the Italians established the concerto form as a chain of movements (usually three — two quick ones, with a slow one in the middle).

It seems only the other day that Reginald Foort gave his first broadcast on the BBC Theatre Organ, which without a doubt is proving very popular with listeners. They seem to like particularly the personal touch Foort gives in making his own announcements. Countless listeners write in to him with suggestions, and he proposes to adopt many of these as time goes on. The combination of organ, piano, with the addition of a vocalist, scored such a hit when it was first broadcast a few weeks ago that it is hoped to make a weekly feature of similar programmes in the near future.
