The multinationals

It has been argued that a lot of people who negotiate with multinationals on behalf of Third World countries do not have available to them the same vast expertise and heavy legal support that the multinational companies have. As a consequence they sometimes come off worse in a deal. But do multinationals benefit only themselves, or their hosts as well? These issues are discussed in a 8.8. C. programme (Concert radio, 8.35 tonight) and the participants are the Head of Public Affairs at Unilever and a fellow of the Institute of Development Studies at Sussex University. Schubert In 1824 Schubert was in Hungary to give music lessons to the daughter of Count Esterhazy. For the young Countess Caroline, for performance as a piano duet, he wrote the sonata in C — the Grand Duo for Piano. The sonata was not published in Schubert’s lifetime, but later the violinist Joseph Joachim, impressed by the almost symphonic grandeur of the work, in 1855 orchestrated the Grand Duo to provide a setting worthy of the music. This Symphony in C after the

Schubert Op. 140 sonata is broadcast in a new recording on the Concert Programme at 7.55 p.m. Marc Andrea conducts the Munich Philharmonic. Vienna Vienna is best-known as the city of wine, women, song and Strauss — but there was much more to Viennese musical life than the frivolities of Strauss and his operetta and waltz-time col-

leagues. Mozart and Beethoven were among the composers who lived and worked there, or whose music was first performed there. In “Time for Music" the soprano Pilar Lorengar sings Dove Sone from "The Marriage of Figaro" and Marzelline’s aria from “Fidelio.”
