One Wonders Why
‘THERE seems to be a conspiracy, « shall we say of the Fates, to exasperate those listeners who depend on Station 2YC for a good proportion of their music. The correspondents have had their say on the Parliamentary question, but that is not the end of the matter. When. Brahms’ Liebeslieder waltzes were scheduled for a Sunday evening at 9,0, I looked forward to hearing a work I have never seen in the programmes before (an interesting work, for two* pianos and voices ad lib). But at 8.0 p.m, 2YC wished "to take this opportunity of advising listeners" that the play "The Silence of the Sea" would be heard at 9.0 p.m. This was the first intimation I had. The play (an excellent one) had been heard from that station at that time only three weeks before. If it was a
repetition fh response to popular clamour, the purpose would have been better served by scheduling the play in the programmes in the ordinary way. As it is, probably very few of those who missed it the first time knew of this second broadcast. It ig to be hoped that when the Liebeslieder waltzes are finally broadcast we will be given fair warning.
