CHOPIN CENTENARY
Sir,-May I express, through your columns, intense appeeciation of the splendid tribute paid to Frederic Chopin by Station 2YA on Sunday night, October 16? The script was beautifully written and delivered, while the choice of accompanying recordings showed musical acumen and discrimination of high order. The observance of the centenary at 4YA on October 17 was particularly notable for the delightful pianism of Koa Nees: but it is a great pity that some of her items were spoilt by the announcer butting in. Apart from this minor lapse, it is much to the credit of the NZBS that such an important musical event was adequately commemorated by radio. In other respects the Chopin Centenary was shamefully neglected by New Zealand musicians generally. Elsewhere in the ‘musical world the immortal composer’s. memory was féted as it deserves.
