: A SCENE FROM BROWNING
'IN A GONDOLA'By Two Voices and a Piano
BROWNING'S poem, 'In a Gondola.' is a strange. romantic, psychological dialogue between two Venstian lovers, whose joy at being together is undershot all through with the dark fear of the Three who suspect them, and whose suspicion may cost the man his life.
What if the Three should catch at last
Thy serenader? While there's cast
Paul's cloak about my head, .and fast
Gian pinions me, Himself has past
His stylet thro' my back ; I reel;
And .... is it Thou
I feel
And. even as they are planning their next meeting. and the secret code of signals by which it may be achieved, he is sur. prised and stabbed. So the poem ends on a fine note of pride :-
The Three, I do not scorn
To death, because they never lived ; but I
Have lived indeed, and so-(yet one more kiss)-can die !

Interpreted by EDGAR BAINTONSonata in C Minor (Concluded) ; Finale,
Allegro Sonata in E Flat Major, Op. 122 ;
Allegro Moderato
THE ALLEGRO (quick movement) which forms the fourth section of the C minor
Sonata goes off with a gallop and scarcely changes its gait from beginning to end, except for a few bars of crashing chords that intervene on two occasions. But there is plentiful change of key, and the variety of general idea within the one rhythmic idea is kept up throughout long course.
THE SONATA IN E FLAT has none of the emotional or other characteristic traits of the work which has preceded it. It is a more polished type of music. Those who are familiar with the early works of Beethoven will recognize that the FIRST MOVEMENT (fairly quick) of this Sonata shows a certain affinity to their type. The movement as a whole is an example of straightforward Sonata-writing, with the usual two Main Tunes in appropriate contrast.

This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
