Serial in G Minor
ON a recent Wednesday evening 1YX’s classical hour included Borowsky’s playing of Bach’s English Suite in G Minor, minus the magnificent concluding gigie; for which omission various explanations occurred to me, ranging from exhaustion on Mr. Borowsky’s part to the possibility that somebody else in the studio had borrowed the record for another session. And in my opinion it would have fitted in very well as a stop-gap among the three major works of Bach broadcast from 1YA earlier in the evening, but as we are always protected from wearying of a composer. Handel and , achaikovski were used for this purpose.
Precisely a week later a Delius viola sonata from 1YA’s studio finished too soon before the American Commentators and out popped the missing gigue, cheerful as the first cuckoo in spring, but strictly incognito. Only the last two bars of this suite now remain unaccounted for, and if they don’t turn up somewhere by next Wednesday I shall be obliged to sing myself off that uncomfortable F sharp on which I am now suspended.
