MUSIC BY CHOPIN
Sir-I read with interest the article on Aleksandr Helmann, and in particular the following paragraph: "He also scored @ great success in a recital devoted entirely to the. works of Chopin, There is wide public interest in this composer in his centennial year, . . . etc." I recollect attending a similar recital in the Wellington Town Hall in 1928, given by Paderewski, The hall» was packed and the audience tremendously enthusiastic. There is no doubt that Chopin’s music is universally loved, and it has always been_a source of wonder to me, especially in view of the amount of recorded Chopin available, how seldom we hear the music of this composer broadcast by the NZBS. The programmes ate packed with the works of Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, Mozart and the like (which is as it should be, of course), but the amount of Chopin broadcast is negligible.
