Russian chamber music is a younger growth than Russian opera or Russian orchestral music. Glinka's essays in this genre have failed to keep a place in the repertoire and it may be said that serious Russian chamber music begins with Tchaikovsky's first two quartets (1871 and 1874) and Borodin's magnificent Quartet in A (1875).
Borodin's Second Quartet in D was written four or five years after its predecessor and published only after the composer's death in 1887. It is a delightful thing, as full of limpid melody—' linked sweetness long drawn out '-as anything of Schubert's. The third movement, a langorous nocturne, is often played as a separate piece. The finale is definitely stamped as Borodin's by the opening theme on the lower strings ; it is marked by the same peculiar little melodic twist as the opening theme of his B minor Symphony.

Here is the first talk of a new series
-first broadcast last night on the Northern Ireland wavelength-the idea of which is to find out how we spend our leisure after reaching the age of retiring. To some it is a time long looked forward to, in which a man may do the thing he has always longed to do. To some it is a time of delightful idleness when they have no longer to catch the 8.2 up but may dawdle in the garden. Yet others turn their leisure to useful account, perhaps in a new job, paid or unpaid for ; and others are so bored with doing nothing that their leisure time seems to be thrown away.
The example to come to the microphone today is that of a man who is able to retire with a very active hobby — perhaps the happiest example of all.
