by MAX FRISCH translated by Michael Bullock
In this play written for radio - first produced in Munich in 1953 - the witty Swiss author introduces us to a self-satisfied small-town citizen whose conduct as an employer may not be above reproach, but who has a sentimental streak and so cannot be harsh to two individuals who establish themselves in his loft. Surely these people cannot be the much-feared fire-raisers? A situation which could well reflect upon our world at large..... with Edward Chapman as Mr. Biedermann
Bernard Bresslaw and Michael Flanders
Produced by H. B. FORTUIN

An illustrated talk by Denis Matthews
The classical tradition of leaving the cadenza to the discretion (or indiscretion) of the performer has led to many anachronisms in later times, even to what Tovey called * the very appendicitis ' of the concerto. Denis Matthews discusses various problems and solutions.
