Towards the end of 1840, he and Clara Wieck were happily married, and his warm-hearted admiration for his wife’s gifts as a pianist, and her devotion to the works which he wrote for her to play, had the happiest results for the whole world of music. at 3 p.m.: Through Byways of Opera (2)-Some Excursions into the lesser-known Operas. 3.28 to3.30 Time Signals. 4.30 Close Down. 6.

Choir and Symphony Orchestra,

conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham. When "Faust" was first performed in 1859, it was deciared by critics to be far in advance of Gounod’s earlier work, and one critic who was bold enough to doubt Gounod’s ability to compose it was challenged to a duel. Half a century later the subject. was revived, and certain old people who had known the composer circulated a story of his having stolen the score from a young genius who died in a lunatic asylum. The question -was discussed in the Paris press a few years ago. Most people, however, accept without query the fact that Gounod himself wrote the opera. 10.0 CLOSE DOWN.
