TRIO
Trio in D, Op. 27
1 Allegro con brio. 2 Larghetto maestoso. 3 Allegro energico non presto
Donald Francis Tovey , pianist, composer, conductor, and Reid Professor of Music in Edinburgh University, was born at Eton in 1875. From his early years he displayed remarkable musical gifts. At the age of nineteen he was elected Lewis Nettleship scholar at Balliol College, Oxford, and four years later graduated in classical honours.
Tovey's scholarship is immense, and on the music of Bach and Beethoven he is undoubtedly the foremost English authority. Although his compositions reflect his classical learning and bias and show no inclination to follow the trend of twentieth-century musical thought, they are full of strong individuality.

' Robinson-Crusoeing '
Elizabeth Macpherson
Elizabeth Macpherson , by now quite well known to listeners for her talks on Highland life, comes again to the microphone today with another broadcast from her home in the hills.
To live in a Scottish glen far from the nearest town, often snow-bound for weeks on end, and with little social life, may not be some people's idea of a pleasant existence, but Mrs. Macpherson "finds delight in every mood of the mountains, and in the sheep, deer, and wild birds which are her neighbours among them. She is interested in the most trivial of everyday happenings and finds humour in the dullest of domestic disasters. She will talk today about the things she loves best in her Highland home, the scent of bracken, mist blowing down the screes, chaff with a passing stranger, laundering in the burn, peat-cutting, sun on the summits, and the white wastes of snow, that make of home a comfort and security indeed.
