(continued from page 5) SCHUBERT LEGENDS Sir,-Last Friday evening, August 27, during "Franz Schubert and His Music" from 3YA, we were told the story of the composition of "Hark, Hark, the Lark"-written in a café on the back of a menu, etc. A few minutes later in the same programme, we were told that Schubert’s "Serenade" was composed in exactly the same manner, with but a slight variation in phraseology. Even the sentence "I have the mos divine melody running through my heed; if only I had some ruled paper" was repeated in toto. Surely both these compositions, delightful as they are, cannot claim such ea romantic storv.
"QUAM DILECTA"
(Dunedin).
(Authority exists for each story-Dr. Sigmund Spaeth for ‘‘Hark, Hark, the Lark," and George T. Ferris for the "Serenade." It is possible that the circumstances of one composition have, in the passage of time, been attributed also to another.-Ed.)
