CONTEMPORARY COMPOSERS.
Sir,-It seems hardly possible to me that many people could enjoy the "Contemporary Composers" whose music has taken up so much time on the air lately.
It is only the desire to be up-to-date, f am sure, that could induce anyone to listen with patience to the aimless jumble and chaos of warring instruments. that was given us this afternoon from 2YC (November 9). Real genius may be more or less independent of the age it ‘lives in, but modern composers have been brought up in a period of mental confusion and unrest, and those of moderate ability have been dominated by those conditions. May one beg that they should not be given more than just a fair hearing?
CONVALESCENT
