Sir-A. R. D. Fairburn’s comment on the Mozart transcription as played at the recent Contest is unfortunately an accurate one... . When, however, Mr. Fairburn contends that "brass band playing has little or no relation to music" he exhibits:a deplorable lack of knowledge of the achievements or the possibilities of the medium he discredits. Transcriptions made by the BBC of performances by such bands as Foden’ s, Fairey’s, Black Dyke, Park and Dare, and others, the gramophone records of these bands and on many occasions the playing of championship grade bands in New Zealand give ample proof of the standard of musical excellence that can be attained. . . . Apparently the "noise" of bands doesn’t upset Sir Adrian Boult.
