DUTCH COMPOSERS
Sir-I would like to bring to the notice of the author of the article ‘Music from the Netherlands" that Willem Pijper was never a pupil of Bernard Zweers, as he states. He was instead one of Dr. Johan Wagenaar. He received his education from him, together with Alexander Voormolen and Bernard Wagenaar (who now teaches at the Juilliard School in New York). Although I understand ‘that The Listener would not have enough space available for a more elaborate review of Dutch music, I was a little disappointed not to see a list stated of Pijper’s pupils, which is a very impressive one. However, we do appreciate the initiative of the NZBS in giving not fewer than 13 programmes of music by Dutch composers. TI have a feeling that several of these Dutch compositions will make a good impression, and I hope some day we wiil have a living performance by the National Orchestra of one or’ more of those compositions which in Holland itself belong already to the standard re-
pertoire.
