CLASSICAL CORNERS
Sir-May I join "Crotchety Classic" in his protest about the cutting out of "Classical Corner" which — heaven knows-was "narrow" enough, Your explanation that the classical numbers are now being "spread through the programmes" does not help matters at all. Are those who are interested in better music (which need not always be "‘classical" in the strict sense) supposed to wade through oceans of drivel in the hope of being rewarded with two minutes. of "classica] music"? This is like being forced to read pages and pages of comics or light fiction to be consoled by one page with a short excerpt from Hamlet or The Canterbury Tales. Talking of programmes: Could nothing be done about the terrible standard of the Saturday afternoon programmes from 2YC? Stations 2YA and 2ZB supply full entertainment, including sports. Why not give a little more encouragement to the apparently despised type, the "serious listener’?
