BEETHOVEN UP TO DATE
Sir,-I notice some of your correspondents disapprove of your experiments on Beethoven’s music. To-night in The Listener I found 20 minutes allocated to the Kreutzer Sonata for violin which, when played, takes at least 30 minutes. I naturally assumed that more experiments would be tried. Being fond of experiments I followed the sonata with my music, eagerly awaiting the inevitable.
Alas, I was disappointed. You took 10 minutes off the next programme and played the sonata in exactly the same old-fashioned way in which it has been played for 141 years.
