"BEETHOVEN LIVES"
Sir,-May I extend grateful thanks to the NZBS for the inspiring Beethoven programme from 2YC on a recent Sunday. Those two hours of uninterrupted beautiful music were a highlight not to be easily forgotten. Dr. Bruno Walter in his autobiography Theme and Variations concludes his preface with: "Napoleon is dead, but Beethoven lives." I wonder if in a hundred years or so someone will feel the same and say "Hitler is dead but Beethoven lives."
