NOTES ON THE CLASSICS
Sir,-I wish to say how much I have enjoyed the articles written by Bessie Pollard on Know Your Classics. On receiving my last copy I noticed with regtet that the series had apparently terminated. There is much more that could be done in this direction and I would be exceedingly grateful if Miss Pollard were to carry on this excellent work. She dealt with Till Eulenspiegel; but all of Strass’s works could be similarly analysed. This form of analysis is a crying need for the understanding of works of ‘this type. But of course any symphony or concerto or large work is helped considerably by such knowledge of the themes involved. Inasmuch as gramophone companies have for the past few years been exceedingly niggardly in sending out comprehensive leaflets, I
am sute there is a vast body of gramophone enthusiasts who would welcome a further series, even if they could not be placed in the selected broadcast pro-
grammes.
MUSICA VIVA
(Lower Hutt).
(As announced in our issue of October 10, a further series of articles by Miss Pollard will follow in the near future.-Ed.)
