INTERRUPTED MUSIC
Sir-On several occasions recently, I have been disappointed when music to which I was listening and greatly enjoying has been rudely interrupted. Some time ago, the Bach violin concerto in D Minor was interrupted at @ crucial point. No doubt the talk that followed was worthy, but it seems @ pity to commence such a beautiful work and not play it to completion. Surely the programme organisation will allow time for the complete playing of bigger. works. (The Bach Suite No. 2 has beem presented in several parts with other items in between, on more than one occasion.) My second suggestion is that a mor edifying type of music be presented im. the breakfast session. Cheerful light, music would benefit most people at the beginning of the day, but our reaction at present is to switch off the radio in: disgust a few minutes after the 9.15 a.m. weather forecast. "MY WIFE AND I" (Hamilton).
