PART 1
The End of an Era by J. M. Richards
The London County Council, which the Government has just announced is to be disbanded, has done remarkable work in creating a new urban landscape in many parts of London. Housing Estates at Roehampton, in the East End, and south of the Thames have aroused admiration all over the world. J. M. Richards asks whether splitting the work of the L.C.C. Architect's Department among the London boroughs, as is now proposed, will allow anything like the same standards to be kept up; he discusses the conditions in which good architecture is possible in local government.
PART 2
An illustrated talk by H. C. Robbins Landon
During the first six months of the new year all of Haydn's piano sonatas are to be broadcast in the Third Programme. Tonight H. C. Robbins Landon discusses the growth of Haydn's keyboard style during the fifty years covered by the sonatas.
The illustrations, specially recorded by Charles Spinks , include the first performance in modern times of a newly discovered sonata movement and a fragment of the lost D major piano sonata.
