'The conclusion of the whole matter '
A serial reading by Eric Gillett
Tolstoy had worked for more than six years on ' War and Peace '. He had to make a deep study of the official historians of the Napoleonic wars, and the more he read them the less understanding he felt they had of human character and human history. Here are some of his reflections on these matters, which form the background on which Tolstoy painted all the astonishingly vivid characters of his novel.

World History
' The Caravan Road '
RHODA POWER
Jn the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries the trading route between Orient and Occident was opened up, and an increasing number of merchants from Europe travelled to the Far East to bring back with them the spices, silks, and cloths of that part of the world.
Today's broadcast will tell the story of a famous French prior, William of Rubruck, who in the thirteenth century journeyed rive thousand miles to visit the great Kahn of the Mongols. You will hear about the roads he travelled, about the sort of people he met on his journey, and about some of the adventures that he had on the way.

' Why Animals Play '
H. MuNRo Fox, F.R.S.
In his talk this afternoon Professor Munro Fox will examine the reasons for play among various animals, and will endeavour to answer the questions of how much this is a matter of enjoyment and how much one of mere surplus energy. Lambs, kids, and foals gambol and frisk with energy, and, incidentally, practise the use of their limbs. The play of cubs. puppies, and kittens teaches them the arts of hunting, tracking, and fighting. Other young creatures rely more upon instinct than exercise to develop the traits that will stand them in good stead when they are fully grown.
Professor Munro Fox will also refer to the more intelligent types of animals, such as chimpanzees, which can invent games of their own.

England played by Irene Kohler (pianoforte)
Irene Kohler , who is also to give the third and last broadcast in this series tomorrow, won an open scholarship to the Royal College of Music at the age of sixteen, and studied there for five years under Arthur Benjamin. She then won a travelling scholarship and studied in Vienna under Eduard Steuermann. Her first professional concert, which was broadcast, was at Bournemouth under Sir Dan Godfrey.

She has played at three Proms and made her London debut on August 11, 1934, on the first night of Sir Henry Wood 's fortieth season. She has broadcast such notable works as Hindemith's Konzertmusik, with the composer conducting, and the complete Iberia of Albeniz (in Foundations of Music). Two years ago she was the only woman to take part in the BBC piano test. ' It was great fun ', she says. ' I played the Ravel Toccata fifty times in five days!

' Heroic Symphony, composed to celebrate the memory of a great man, dedicated to His Most Serene Highness the Prince of Lobkowitz by Ludwig van Beethoven (Op. 55, No. 3).' So runs the Italian title of Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, in E flat. The great man' was Napoleon, to whom the work was originally dedicated, for in 1803 Napoleon was known only as an altruist and the saviour of his country. But later, when Napoleon appeared as tyrant and self-seeker, Beethoven tore up the cover with its dedication and substituted a fresh one to Prince Lobkowitz. Nevertheless, whatever psychological ideas were behind the conception of this symphony, from a purely musical point of view it remains one of the masterpieces of symphonic music.
