Illustrated talk by Helena Shire
The speaker has discovered that one of the seventeenth-century manuscript music-books in the possession of Lord Dalhousie contains material that scholars had thought lost for ever. There are two songs whose existence was known only from their parodies, several unknown lyrics, a telling in the vernacular of a great European ballad, and much else to cast light on seventeenth-century poetry in Scotland.

Illustrated talk by Peter Stadlen
The metronome, though not invented by Maelzel, was developed by him during Beethoven's ' second period.' Beethoven welcomed it as a device for establishing tempo with certainty. Peter Stadlen discusses the advantages of adhering to Beethoven's metronome marks even in those movements where they are generally ignored in modern performances
