Joseph Jongen , the Belgian composer, was born at Liege in 1873. He studied at the Liege Conservatoire, where he was Professor of Harmony from 1901-1920, when he went to the Brussels Conservatoire as Professor of Fugue and Counterpoint. After five years he was appointed Principal. In his early works, written between 1902 and 1914, such as the Trio in B minor, Jongen shows the deep influence of Cesar Franck.

: ONE PIANO-FOUR HANDS
Alec Rowley and Edgar MoyIt is said that the piano duet originated with Mozart. Most of the great composers have written works for this medium, and today there is a considerable repertoire of first-rate original works for four hands. In Germany and in France piano duet playing has always held an important place in home music making, and publishers find it necessary to issue most big symphonic works in special arrangements for piano duet.
For classical music the piano duet is an ideal medium, but in modern works, particularly those that rely for their effect essentially on the orchestral colouring, much is lost in transcribing such music for the keyboard.
So far as the radio is concerned,
Alec Rowley and Edgar Moy were practically the first to give programmes of piano duet music.

: Short Story ' THE CHARM AGAINST THIRST '
by Lord DunsanyIt needs the imaginative mind of Lord Dunsany to create a character like Mr. Jorkens-a man who would always tell a tale for a drink. Whether his tales were true is another matter ; they were certainly convincing, and his method of going through life was altogether ingenious. They owe, of course, a very great deal to the setting the author gives them in 'The Travel Tales of Mr. Joseph Jorkens ', of which the story he is to broadcast tonight is the fourth of thirteen tales.
' The Charm against Thirst' is characteristic. Did Mr. Jorkens, walking westward up the Strand on a warm summer's day, with a thirst and no money with which to quench it, invent the whole thing ? Anyhow, he swung the charm at the end of his watch-chain for everyone to see, much as an angler spins something bright in the water to catch a fish. The fish Mr. Jorkens caught was, of course, Lord Dunsany-and listeners should be grateful that he did.

About this project
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.
