MORE BEETHOVEN, PLEASE
Sir,-I listen to the national and subnational stations, and I’m fond of humorous entertainment, talks, full-length plays, and classical music, and the only one of such programmes about which I have any complaints is classical music. I listen to 3YA, 4YA and 3YL mostly, and I can’t understand the dearth of Beethoven’s symphonic works; maybe there’s a shortage of full or part’ recordings. Week after week passes and not a Beethoven (in full) symphony and yet so much of Bach, Mozart and Chopin, and others. I like them too, but I do believe if a census were taken Beethoven’s name would head any list.
CONSTANT LISTENER
