Music in Miniature
HAT "the good big ’un will beat the good little ’un every time" is not always true in radio. I feel that it requires a greater effort of concentration to listen to a long movement of an unfamiliar symphony on the air than it does in a concert hall. On the other hand the musical miniature seems a little overweighted in a concert hall by the evident machinery necessary to produce it. We have been having over recent weeks some. exquisitely polished jewels of music in the BBC series Music in Miniature. These tiny pieces, chosen with taste and delightfully performed, ate given in sets without preliminary announcement of titles. It is an amusing, and sometimes a chastening, lesson for the musically inclined to identify or place each little piece. The listener who "likes decent music," without knowing much about it, will find these broadcasts an equal joy.
