from page 101 of 'New Every Morning

by John Sterling
Grieg, at twenty-two, spent a summer holiday in a Norwegian village. He said later: 'Whether it was the lovely situation, or the invigorating air which inspired me, I won't pretend to say. At any rate, within eleven days I had composed my sonata for the piano, and very soon after my first sonata for the violin.'
The sonata, which is the only one Grieg wrote for the piano, can hardly be called a model of construction and design. It is, however a very striking work, containing much beautiful music, particularly in the Minuet which is one of the most charming movements that Grieg ever wrote.

Conductor. Walter Goehr
One of the most outstanding light orchestras on the air is the Orchestre Raymonde. Its conductor,
Walter Goehr , has made many extremely effective and artistic arrangements for his own orchestra of works that were originally conceived for full orchestra.
This evening, for instance, he is introducing into his repertoire, Mussorgsky's 'Pictures from an Exhibition ', which was originally written for two pianos, in which form it will be heard during the forthcoming centenary celebrations. Listeners will remember hearing Ravel's masterly orchestral version of these pieces a few weeks ago under Albert Coates. Whereas Ravel's version is for a large modern orchestra, Goehr's has been conceived essentially for small orchestral combinations.
Another example of Goehr's ability as an arranger will be heard in the Four Dances from Walton's ' Facade,' which in its original form was scored for six solo instruments.
