LAMPOONING MUSIC
Sir-During the visit of a famous string quartet last year I asked for their opinion on the lampooning of the art of instrumental music. The spokesman for the group replied: "As the recreation was puerile it had been ignored by the adult music lover . It should be remembered however ‘that a lampoon is virulent and unsuitable for the adolescent who is taught at school that causing annoyance to other pupils is not real or true amusement ... Recent problems with young people have shown that one of the main causes has been a desire for selfish pleasure without any consideration for other people’s ideals."
