MUSIC PROGRAMMES
Sir-Probably it is a matter outside your control, but you can perhaps influence the choice of programmes for the breakfast sessions. From Aucke land and Wellington we get about 1% good light music and 99% hopeless rubbish. Why must it be thought necessary to supply such poor numbers at such times? I regret to observe, too, a @stinct decrease in the number of symphonies played. There are literally hundreds which we never hear, and perhaps thirty which we get about once a month. Chamber music too, has fallen off both in quality and quantity. May I also ask for the saleable in The Listener of the "Programmes of the Week" feature which was a very useful and convenient way of finding what one wanted to hear?
