CHAMBER MUSIC
Sir,-Perhaps the only place in which true democracy has ever, been achieved is the realm of chamber music, where each player has an independent part which is as important to the whole as is the part of any other of the players. This was completely disregarded on the occasion of a recent broadcast of a string quartet, when the first violin was announced as " principal," both in the official programme and over the air, the names of the other players not even being mentioned. It is to be hoped that in future this will be corrected, since in the eyes of chamber music lovers the distinction is as invidious to the violinist concerned as it is discourteous .to the remaining members of the quartet.
