UNPERFORMED OVERTURE
Sir,-Mr. Page’s letter seems to be part of a newspaper controversy which began during my absence in Australia. I do not wish to comment on Mr. Page’s very proper concern for the larger issues of musical policy, nor do I wish to prolong this correspondence, but there is one point which has been overlooked. It is that Mr. Carr is not the first composer who has had a work rejected by a conductor or a publisher or a musical organisation, and, while music is a living art, he will not be the last. In this he is in good company. He is, however, entitled to the consideration that it should not receive Dominion-wide newspaper publicity. The issue of the original statement to the Press Association in Auckland was, in my opinion, irresponsible and a grievous injustice to Mr. Carr.
