' The New Year in Paris '
Monsieur A. Simon-Girard
Here is an event in this popular series. This is the first tea-time talk to come direct from abroad. New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are big occasions in Paris, and M. Simon-Girard is to tell listeners in this country how Parisians will be bringing in the New Year. He will also discuss what Parisian women may be thinking about and talking about as 1937 merges into 1938.
It is hoped to give other broadcasts from various Continental centres from time to time in this series.

All Aboard ! .
Here is something entirely new in the way of a novelty feature for a band. Benny Frankel and his Orchestra, who helped to make such a success of ' The Song is Ended ' in the summer, will drive the train on every broadcast journey. It is a peculiar train, stopping at delightful stations-Romance, Humour, and Rhythm; and it is run by a very strange Company who demand some kind of entertainment from each passenger in lieu of fares. Rhythm Express should make many a smooth radio journey, with John Burnaby exercising general supervision over its trips.

Sonata in F minor, Op. 5
1 Allegro maestoso. 2 Andante cspressivo. 3 Scherzo : Allegro energico. 4 Intermezzo (Riickblick): Andante molto. 5 Finale : Allegro moderato ma rubato played by Frank Merrick (pianoforte)
Brahms's Piano Sonata in F minor, Op. 5, was completed in 1853 when the composer was twenty years of age. It was one of that group of early works which aroused such great enthusiasm from Schumann on their first meeting.
The F minor Sonata was an extraordinary achievement for so young a composer. Cast on a very ambitious-perhaps too ambitious-scale, the music is full of both passionate intensity and lyrical charm. Its romantic leanings are obvious, particularly in the slow movement which is headed with a verse that may be roughly translated as follows:
The twilight deepens, the moon shines out,
There are two hearts in love entwined
That hold themselves with blessing crowned.
