ON PLAYING MOZART
Sir,—With reference to the remarks of your music critic, “C.F.8.,” that “there should be a society for the prevention of the playing of Mozart except by the very best orchestras.’’ How can our youngsters be introduced to good music and to liking and playing it, when we read such snobbish remarks about this composer? Certainly the best approach to the music of any composer is to perform that music. I myself love Mozart’s and other classical music and enjoy it most when I am playing it myself, although I am not an accomplished musician.— Yours, etc., «
MUSIC LOVER. August 19, 1947.
