Stravinsky is the high light in next week's music pro-

grammes. The B.B.C. has certainly, done its duty by this composer. If radio has its disadvantages, so far as amateur - participation in music is concerned, at least it has the advantage of increasing our familiarity with music to an extent .undreamed of a generation ago. The modern com- poser is offered an opportunity for world-wide familiarity such as no pre-radio composer could hope for in his life-time. Stravinsky is to have a concert all to himself on Monday, -when, with Samual Dushkin, he will broadcast a first per- formance in England of the new " Duo Concertant "-an example of his neo-classical style. On the preceding Sunday evening Dushkin will play the Violin Concerto.
