and experiments on the musical scale
Talk by R. M. Sillitto
For centuries musicians have tried, unsuccessfully, to construct an organ that plays harmoniously in any key. R. M. Sillitto, Lecturer in Natural Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh, describes the new organ devised for this purpose by Dr. A. R. McClure, and compares some pieces on meantone and equal temperament. The musical illustrations on the McClure organ (now in the University of Edinburgh) are played by Hetrick Bunney.

BBC Symphony Orchestra
(Leader, Paul Beard )
Conducted by Sir Adrian Boult
For his Second Symphony William Words-worth was awarded first prize in the Edinburgh Festival competition two years ago. There were sixty-one entries from thirteen countries, and the final adjudicator was Sir Arthur Bliss. 'A symphony in the true sense of the word,' was his comment; ' each of the four contrasting movements is firmly built and skilfully formed.'
