CONTEMPORARY COMPOSERS
‘Sir,-The other. evening I faced a barrage of static to listen to a talk from 3YC by Owen Jensen. I am interested in contemporary gomposers, and as the talk was advertised as being on such composers, illustrated by excerpts from their music, I listened expectantly. Imagine my surprise to hear that about five minutes only of the talk was devoted to contemporary composers and only brief mention was made of three of these-Bartok, Berg and Britten. Not one single excerpt: of their music was presented with the talk, which consisted mostly of generalities. Surely with such widely advertised talks one can expect what one is promised. ,
