CORWIN OR BEETHOVEN?
Sir,-This:is a protest against the manner in which advertised radio programmes are mutilated to make way for talks of "topical" interest. On Sunday evening, October 6, a certain Mr. "Norman Corwin gave a talk in which was a statement to the effect that we in New Zealand should develop our cultural life. When these words of wisdom had been uttered, listeners to 2YA were blandly informed by the announcer that the advertised symphonic work (Beethoven’s 9th Symphony) would not be played. As programme organisers do not include this work with any degree of frequency in the programmes, its presentation on one of the rare occasions on which it is ad-: vertised should not be interfered with by any other item of merely topical in-
terest.
