BREAKFAST SYMPHONY
Sir-In quiet manner an announcer at 1YA on a Monday morning at 7.30 launched the breakfast symphony, and 1YA is to be congratulated on this important step-15 minutes of bright lilting music of such high order is little enough respite from the hours of "noise" which has been the sole fare pounded out from all stations during the early morning for years past. Those 15 minutes each morning were pure joy and gave me a light heart for the rest of the day, and I firmly believe that many others will get as much pleasure from the music of the breakfast symphony. As a recently returned visitor from England, where the BBC each morning entertains with bright, varied, and often sa nnn enemas I
classical music, it was an utter disappointment to me to find that the NZBS continued to limit us to such unvaried fare in the firet houre of thea marning.

Sir-Please allow me to offer my heartiest thanks and congratulations to those responsible for the new symphony programme at 7.30 each morning, The choice of Litolff’s "Scherzo," played by Moura Lympany and the Philharmonia Orchestra for the opening number, was a flash of sheer inspiration. At last there is some real pleasure to be had in the morning instead of mere tolerance for punctuality’s sake. There is, however, still one request I would like to make. Sandwiched as the programme is between Bing and Dinah,. would it be possible to have a little more meat and a little less sandwich?
