This afternoon's broadcast will have poignant associations for the members of the Torquay Municipal
Orchestra, for it is to be the last of about 300 broadcasts from the Pavilion as it now stands. It is to be closed for an extensive scheme of alterations which are costing the Corporation something like £25,000.

Max Rostal (violin)
Franz Osborn (pianoforte)
Sonata in E minor (K.304) ...... Mozart
Duo Concertante ...... Stravinsky
In 1933 Max Rostal left Berlin, where he was a professor at the State Institute. He teaches in London, and has a large clientele of international pupils. Soon afterwards he gave his first recital in London, at the Wigmore Hall, and made his debut on the air in this country. He has been broadcasting regularly ever since.
Recently he discovered a cadenza for Beethoven's Violin Concerto, written by Beethoven himself. This he will perform for the first time this month in Amsterdam with the Concertgebouw Orchestra. He also discovered recently in Padua an old concerto by Tartini, which has never been played before. It is to be published shortly and he will play it for the first time at one of the London concerts during the season.
Franz Osborn was born in Berlin, and, while still a boy, was heard by Artur Schnabel, who insisted on his becoming a pianist. He studied with him for several years, and subsequently with Leonid Kreutzer at the Hochschule für Musik, in Berlin, and for a short time with Max Pauer in Stuttgart. About ten years ago he began touring Europe and has played in almost every European country. He broadcast for the first time in this country eight years ago, and has lived in London since 1934.
Like Rostal, with whom he has appeared at several concerts, Franz Osborn has many international pupils. He has given many first performances, notably that of Sinfonia Concertante for piano and orchestra by William Walton. This was given in Berlin, with the composer conducting.
