"Commends Syncopation And Discord of the Masters"
To the Editor. Sir,-The opinions expressed by "\Vellingtonian" and others in regard to dance musie are proof of a sprinkling, at least, of musie lovers who are not archaic. While I deplore many of the inane yocul refrains I am not blind to the fact that some are delightful and show a finer sentiment than the words of many grand opera solos. It is merely highbrowism which permits the hide-bound musician to commend the syncopation and discords of the masters, and allows the wonderful orchestration and instrumentation of the moderns to offend his undiscerning ear. The trouble with many who decry jazz is that they are incapable of listening intelligently to it. As "Wellingtonian" remarks thev need educating.--I am. ete.
