CONCERT PROGRAMMES
Sir,-It was with great interest that I read in The Listener a letter from "Music Lover," I. fully agreé with his opinion. . In fact, am pioneering to play ‘more of the lesser-known works. The ‘repertoire available to a pianist is enormous, and with a little’ effort, courge and conviction, music just as fine as that! which is played so regularly now may be included in programmes and be appreciated. Personally, I had a pleaserit reward and surprise when I played for ‘the troops in England during the war. Their response to the unfamiliar as well as the familiar was most gratifying. The greatest example of a pianist who is interested solely in the music is Schnabel. He never compromises forthe sake of popularity. oT 8
