THE "NEW" MUSIC
»ir,---ror many years | have earnestly endeavoured to educate my taste down to the so-called "new music," but without avail. It is still to me a collection of harsh discordant noises, evolving from the distorted brains of clever (?) mechanics, of which the world is only too full. We have at our disposal the glorious inspired music of the old masters which elevates the heart and soul of every listener. I can find very few to whom the "new music" has any meaning or appeal, and those few are so superior, that they disdain the broadcast programmes entirely. Could we not therefore have less, instead of more-of the new music?) We should then have fewer objectors to classical music, if it really were classical and not mechanical.
