"HOMAGE TO CHOPIN"
Sir,—l have just been listening, tonight, March 8, to a broadcast under the above title, given from 3YA, which consisted of a series of recordings made at Paris last October on the occasion of a concert in honour of Chopin’s memory. What other listeners may have thought of this broadcast I do not know, but my own feeling was one of disgust that a group of 11 so-called contemporary representative composers could not between them contrive even one single work with listening to. In my opinion, this commemorative concert was more in the nature of an Insult to Chopin, and I assert that we have in New Zealand at least one composer capable of producing something more appropriate to the occasion. —Yours, etc., L. D. AUSTIN. Wellington, March 8, 1950.
