Merlin Minshall
Merlin Minshall has done a great deal of unconventional travelling, particularly in Africa, from which he brought back a notable series of photographs, many of which have recently been reproduced in The Listener. Mr. Minshall is an architect by profession. This afternoon he is going to talk about the huts and shanties in which the African native lives-how they are made and how they appear to a Western eye accustomed to more elaborate construction.
Mr. Minshall's amusing comments on native architecture are full of shrewd, but not over-technical, observation.

One of the greatest of Beethoven's violin sonatas is the Sonata in C minor, Op. 30, No. 2. It is sometimes known as the ' Eroica '. Certainly the music, particularly in the first movement, possesses much of the heroic spirit. It is beautifully written for both instruments and the balance between them is well calculated.
