There are nine movements in Strauss's Suite ' Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme several of which run into one another. It begins with the Overture to the first act, a musical picture of Jourdain, the would-be gentleman himself. No. 2 is a Minuet in old-fashioned style, and the third movement is ' The
Fencing-Master ', vigorous and alert as its subject demands. Next the Tailor enters briskly, and he and his first assistant have a dance. That is followed by a setting of the famous Minuet by Lully himself, and it leads into a Courante.
The seventh movement is also based on Lully. Beginning solemnly and with a sprightly middle section before the first part returns, it presents the entrance of Cleonte. No. 8 is the prelude to the second act, an Intermezzo portraying Dorantes and Dorimene, the Count and Marchioness. The Suite comes to an end with the music which accompanies the banquet, a dance forming a part of it.

Ewart Kempson has again arranged two bridge hands which will be played by four experts. As before, the players will have no previous knowledge of the hands.
Listeners should fill in the diagram on page 50 as the hands are announced, so as to follow the bidding and play, and have a similar diagram in readiness for the second hand.
