MUSIC OFF THE TAPE
Sir,-The recent innovation of using tape as a means of conveying music promotes the collaboration of the acoustics engineer with the musician. This partnership provides a due measure of praise for the engineer when the broadcasts are good, e.g. the National Orchestra; when the relay is below standard readiness to shoulder responsibility is praiseworthy. Many people have criticised Karel Ancerl for accentuating the brass and percussion at the expense of the strings and woodwind, but as a member of the audience, Graham Paton shows that this view was incorrect. Further inquiry reveals that the microphones for the Czech Orchestra were not adjusted to the best
advantage.
