NAMES BEFORE AND AFTER
Sir,-I would like to see reinstated in the New Zealand broadcasting system the old method of announcing the title of a record after it is played. I. have heard it doné at times, but it does not seem to be the rule. This style of announcing appears to be the habit with other broadcasting systems such as the BBC and the ABC, and I think it is an excellent method. I am sure there are numerous listeners who are not familiar with the names of many of the works played; (this applies to all types of music), although they know the actual melody. It gives great satisfaction to be able to place a piece of music, especially for future reference, Besides, music lovers are always adding to their reper- | toire, as they hear new works which |
attract notice. Naturally what I have written does not apply to the programmes published in The Listener, but only to what appear to be impromptu
sessions.-
