Dal Segno
ECENTLY Maurice Clare and Fred- | erick Page, broadcasting Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No. 7 from 3YA, were cut off accidentally to make way for the commentary on the New Zealand, Bowling Championships. And there, some forty or fifty bars lost in the airy infinite, the ‘matter might have rested. Music for most people is of such an evanescent quality that the irritation occasioned by such a happening would soon be forgotten, leaving no more than hope for a complete performance at some later date. In this case the sonata was- one of a series-Beethoven’s Ten Violin Sonatas -and the performance had educational as. well as entertainment value. Mr. Clare, therefore, was extending a very proper courtesy to the listener when, in broadcasting the eighth of the series a few days later, he preceded it with a repetition of the previously incomplete last movement of No. 7. This may be regarded as setting up a very desirable precedent. It may even be _ possible, sometimes, when such unhappy accidents occur to replay the whole work again, da capo rather than dal segno. °
