LAURIAN CLUB'S CONCERT
SO TIIB BWTOB OS 1 THa TKS3S. Sir, —As one of the many who enjoyad the Laurian Club's last concert and who also congratulated the conductor on the excellent programme given, and who also thought the criticism in the following morning's paper unkind and unjust, I would like to ask your critic if he has a composition of his own equal to one by Joseph Haydn. If so we would -lika to hear it, and give it the same reception as that given to Haydn's quartet.—Yours, etc MUSICIAN. April 30, 1935. ["The Press" musical critic (Mr Ernest Jenner), replying to this letter says: "Criticisms such as that of 'Musician' have often been levelled, and a well-known musical critic provided an adequate answer when he replied, 'Ong does not need to be able to lay an egg in order to tell a good one from a bad one.'
