MORE BEETHOVEN.
Sir-May I'‘add to the pleas for "more Beethoven" (Choral Symphony, Mass in D), which I heartily endorse, a request for the presentation of Beethoven’s Opera Fidelio. Its shortness makes it particularly apt for broadcasting, and apart from its great music, the story-though no literary masterpiecewith its appeal to freedom versus tyranny is especially moving to-day. ' The other day "Marsyas" suggested a ban to be imposed on Gounod’s "Ave Maria." Could Rimsky-Korsakov’s "Indian Love Song" (Love for India?) suffer the same fate for a few weeks? I have heard it lately eight times within ten days; once from the same station in the morning and the napebenes of the same day.
