The Slipper Fits
F I complain about the unmannerly noises that crackle round the knob every time I turn to 1YX-perhaps I exaggerate; say every second time-I must in fairness give praise for the arrangements of the programmes that do their best to be heard above these noises. It delights me to be able to settle down to an evening of music by French composers, presented in order with dates attached; or to listen for an hour to a fair division of works by two
composers; or best of all to have the prospect of hearing, one by one each week on Thursdays, the late quartets of Beethoven. There are the off nights, of course; but on the whole I can be fairly sure that while 1YA and 1ZM are away at the Town Hall watching the boxing or listening to the bands, little Cinderella will be sitting at home coping with the static in the flues or unravelling the wave-lengths on the hearth in the effort to give us an hour of chamber music cr two hours of carefully chosen symphonic music.
