This Gave Us The Idea
TO the Editor. "IR,-How about twenty compositions instead of twenty books for that tropical island? Lest we should begin such a list with the whole nine symphonies, it would have to be laid down that no composer be represented by more than two works; entire symphonies are included, but not entire operas or oratorios, else we should sink the raft which bears us from the wreck with an overweight of gramophone _ records. Lists from musicians and music critics of divergent view-point would be interesting. In the meantime, here is my own list. (I could make another with what I had to leave out): Palestrina: Mass of Pope Marcellus. Bach: St. Matthew Passion. . Haydn: Kaiser Quartet. Beethoven: Seventh Symphony. Beethoven: Piano Sonata Op. 111. Schubert: ‘"‘By the Sea." Schubert: Unfinished Symphony. . Brahms: ‘Sapphic Ode.’ . Mendelssohn: "Fingal’s Cave" Overture. 10. Schumann: ‘Carnaval Suite." 11. Wagner: Siegfried Idyll. 12. Russian Folk Song: "Down the Petersky."’ 13. Dvorak: New World Bags iasoe 204 14. Grieg: Piano Concert 15. Elgar: Eni vrs 16. MNegro S "Deep River," sung by ye 17. Franck: Symphonic Variations. 18. Sullivan: Excerpts from ‘‘Iolanthe." 19, Delius: Brigg Fair. 20. Holst: "The Planets" Suite.
