Gran Sonata Brillante, in D
Op. 106 played by Robert Keys (piano)

by Herman Melville
Arranged for broadcasting and produced by Leslie Stokes with Preston Lockwood as Bartleby and other parts, played by Harry Hutchinson, Eric Jones, Alan Keith, Charles Richardson and Norman Shelley
Moby Dick and Billy Budd May have given the impression that Melville always wrote about the sea. But Bartleby, first published as a short story In Putnam's Monthly in 1853, is a tale of a mysterious scrivener, or law-copyist, employed by a lawyer whose office is in Wall Street. The lawyer tells the story, in the course of which we learn more about him than about his subject. Although the story does not solve the mystery of Bartleby it reaches a climax of considerable pathos.

Much of this music from York is highly elaborate and points to rhe existence of a fully developed school of composition. D.S.
