Prizewinner
|_ISTENING to 4YA on September 29, when the winning entry for the Philip Neill Memorial Prize in Music was beirre performed, I thought how excellent a device ‘the memorial prize is for the encouragement of works of art. We could do with lots more of them. Government Literary Funds "ire very well in their way, but I am all for more Private Enterprise in Bequests. The air has vast spaces of empty time, and there isn’t much chance of it becoming overcrowded with memorials like a school prize list. The idea of performing the prize work on a fixed date (or as near as possible to it) is a good one, too. Charles Martin’s’ Sonata for Violin and Piano, as far as one could judge from a first hearing, was a-clear, bright work, full of tunes and without pretentiousness. It seemed a worthy winner. It was performed by Gladys Vihcent (violin) and Maurice Till (piano), and on this occasion a very much better balance had been athieved between the two instruments than when they performed the Elgar sonata, a week before. /
