Presented by Helen Henschel
The present series of gramophone recitals presented by Helen Henschel is constructed upon the interesting study of what the great composers thought of one another's music. Sometimes the great composers were very discerning in their valuations of the music of their contemporaries, but at other times they showed themselves to be no less fallible than any professional critic. For instance, after reading a score of Brahms's Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Tchaikovsky said: ' He has no charms for me. I find him cold and obscure, full of pretensions, but without any real depths.'
Helen Henschel s series began with the musical understanding between Berlioz and Mendelssohn, and this afternoon the second recital is concerned with the relationship between Chopin and Liszt, several examples of whose music will be heard as illustrations to Helen Henschel 's talk. Other famous musicians will be mentioned, including Wagner, Rubinstein, and Tausig.

A twenty-minute diversion devised by Harry S. Pepper and presented by Douglas Moodie
For the first time 'Puzzle Corner', which proved so popular an item in 'Monday Night at Seven', becomes a feature on its own.
Everything to attract those nimble wits who love to try their hand at solving conundrums or finding the answer to difficult questions will find a place in it - musical puzzles, anagrams, general knowledge tests.
One of the novel features to be introduced this evening is a recital of limericks by four different speakers, whose ages listeners will be asked to guess. Listeners can send in their own limericks, too.
But all who like taxing their ingenuity should make a note of November 21, when 'Puzzle Corner' will introduce a new item which is likely to put all the others in the shade. Full details will be announced in good time.

This popular feature makes a welcome return to the programmes tonight and would not be ' Monday Night at Seven ' without an investigation by Inspector Hornleigh. S. J. Warmington comes back after a tour of investigations in the provinces.
The new features should lend sparkle to the show-Beryl Orde with her clever impersonations, Mrs. H. and Mrs. C., who while hanging out their washing discuss the world and their neighbours over the garden wall.
That great artist Beatrice Lillie has broadcast in ' Monday Night at Seven' before. She sails on Wednesday this week for America to play in a Noel Coward revue.
