by GEOFFREY SKELTON
Mrs Rosemary Brown , a widow living in Balham. spends most of her waking hours writing music that, she claims, is dicfated to her by the spirits of Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt, and other great composers. The music bears an extraordinary resemblance to that of the composers from whom it is alleged to come; but Mrs Brown 's own musical training is elementary and fragmented. In the course of his enquiry into this phenomenon Mr Skel ton has interviewed musicians, psychologists, spiritualists. and of course Mrs Brown herself.
The programme includes a recording of Mrs Brown at work with Liszt, and a performance of their completed work.
Produced by DANIEL SNOWMAN (To be repeated on 17 Dec)
