A recital by Arthur Fear (baritone)
Born at Blaina, Monmouthshire, in 1902, Arthur Fear has had a romantic career. Winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, he studied there under Thomas Meux , and after singing in a students' performance of Falstaff was unanimously hailed by critics. He was at once engaged by the British National Opera Company, and later at Covent Garden. He is now recognised as one of the finest baritones in the country, and has secured great successes in America.

Kendall Taylor 's father, Maurice Taylor , was a well-known North-Country cellist, and most of his son's early years were spent in a musical atmosphere. When only twelve years old he played the Mozart Piano Concerto in D minor with the Harrogate Orchestra. He entered the Royal College of Music in 1922, winning many medals, and was awarded on leaving the medal of the Worshipful Company of Musicians. He has broadcast regularly since 1927 and appeared with many of the leading orchestras. He joined the teaching staff of the Royal College of Music in 1929.

Most of Schubert's piano duets were composed for his friends, who usually played them with the composer as partner. Many of these pieces were written ' just for the fun of the thing '. This is particularly true of those on a smaller scale, such as the marches and polonaises. With few exceptions these are happy and care-free compositions, breathing the atmosphere of the gay circles in which the composer moved.
A more serious note is struck in the larger works, such as the F minor Fantasia dedicated to Schubert's young pupil, Countess Caroline Esterhazy, with whom (according to romantic legend) he was in love.
With Schubert the word ' fantasia ' does not necessarily indicate a loose, rambling composition; like the ' Wanderer ' Fantasia for piano solo, the F minor is one of his most important instrumental works.

Here is the story of a rare silly-season phenomenon, the sort of thing at which news editors eagerly grasp in this arid month when every routine source of news has closed down.
It is a letter from a Highland clergyman that sets the wheels turning. The reverend gentleman has seen a brand new kind of ghost -a Gosapher, in fact, four times larger than a bull. and possessed of an uncanny gift of telling the truth.
Interviewed in Glenbogie the Gosapher gives tongue with a vengeance, with the result that weeks of copy are provided for the Press, and not a little money made.
