Time, Gentlemen
OMEWHERE round New Zealand there may be still floating an unresolved chord, cut off in its prime. Maurice Clare, broadcasting from 3YA with Frederick Page, Beethoven’s Sonata No. 7 for violin and piano, had further confirmation of the axiomatic condition of time which is always marching on and waiting for no man: The listener was even more. acutely aware of this as the above mentioned chord was torn from its fellows to make way for a national link-up for a commentary on the New Zealand Bowling Championships. It was by no means a deliberate exaltation of bowls at the expense of music, but rather that the musician had borrowed from the more leisurely life of the bowler. Mr. Clare preceded his playing with some talking. There is a difference, an important one, between a few apt introductory remarks, and a lecture. Mr. Clare’s commentary would have made an interesting talk by itself, but as a prelude, it took too much time from what was essentially a broadcast of music. And so, Clare and Page were driven off the green at the last head.
