Millicent Silver (pianoforte)
Johann Joachim Quantz was born in 1697 The son of a village farrier, he learnt, when quite young, to play the double-bass and later took up the oboe and violin. In his early twenties, however, he studied the flute, on which instrument he eventually became one of the greatest virtuosos of his day. While on his travels he met the Crown Prince Frederick at Berlin in 1728 and gave him some lessons on the flute. When

Frederick became king he gave Quantz the post of master of his music and court composer.
Among numerous compositions
Quantz composed three hundred flute concertos, which are now preserved in the palace at Potsdam.

' Many Years in the Orchestra'
W. H. Reed , former leader of the London
Symphony Orchestra
W. H. Reed , who for many years was principal of the London Symphony Orchestra and still leads that orchestra on occasions, notably at the Three Choirs Festival, brings to a conclusion this series of three talks concerned with his experiences under famous conductors.
Mr. Reed can lay claim to an outstanding record, for he has played under, and known intimately, such composer-conductors and conductors as Dvorak, Randegger, Mancinelli, Lamoureux, Richter, Nikisch, Safonov, Elgar, Ysaye, Colonne, Faure, Saint-Saens, Strauss, Sullivan, and Steinbach, and most of the great masters of the baton who are flourishing today.
