Orchestra: Serenade for Frederick Delius on his sixtieth birthday
When Peter Warlock died in 1930 at the age of thirty-six, Britain lost one of her most gifted composers.
He had already proved himself a master of song, some examples of which will live as long as the art ot music itself.
Warlock wrote only two notable works for orchestra, the Serenade- for strings (in honour of Dehus's sixtieth birthday) and the Capriol Suite, also for strings, which is b.ased on tunes from a sixteenth-century dancing book by a priest who took the name of Arbeau. Both these works display to the full Warlock's exquisite workmanship and delicate fancy.

Beethoven's Cello Sonatas, Op. 102, No. 1 in C and No. 2 in D, were composed in the summer of 1815 at Baden. At that time Linke, cellist of the Razumovsky Quartet, was staying with the Countess Erdody at Jedlersee and Beethoven frequently visited the house. The first movement of the D major Sonata is full of determined energy, the slow movement is a tender song of melancholy," and the third is in the form of a vigorous and dramatic fugue.
During the last years of his life, the war years 1915-1918, Debussy projected a series of six ' Sonates pour divers instruments ' signed, as a patriotic gesture, ' Claude Debussy , musicien français '. The composer's death cut short the series when only three of the sonatas had been written.
Of these three, the Sonata for cello and piano was the earliest. Debussy at one time thought of calling it ' Pierrot angry with the . moon'; at the back of his mind, at any rate, was the idea of recaHing the stock characters of the old Italian commedia dell'arte. Vallas speaks of the ' ironical sarcastic, almost facetious character' of the Sonata and draws attention to ' the at times pathetic banter ' of the ' Serenade '.

Compère, S. R. Littlewood
The BBC Theatre Chorus and BBC Theatre Orchestra (leader, Tate Gilder ), conductor, Stanford Robin son

Listeners will remember that the first George Edwardes programme, broadcast in June, traced ' the Guv'nor's ' history from the days of the early Gaiety burlesques — Faust Up-to-Date, Carmen Up-to-Date, and the rest-to the musical-comedy period.
This second programme, covering the Daly's period, will trace the gradual evolution of musical comedy into operetta with such productions as The Merry Widow, The Count of Luxembourg, and The Dollar Princess. It is an exciting story, for Edwardes was saved almost from ruin by The Merry Widow and the £150,000 it brought him.
This programme will be broadcast again on Saturday (Regionaf, 6.0)
