Some of our older listeners can remember the storm of abuse with which Wagner's music was assailed when it was first played over here. To ears accustomed to the sweet and guileless melodies of Italian opera, to the simple grace of French ballets, to the noble serenity of Beethoven, this new music was an utter abomination.
Now, barely two generations later, Wagner's music is as surely a part of the common man's delight as anything which art can offer him.
But music cannot stand still, nothing can, without stagnating. Each succeeding age has its apostles of advance, its explorers of now paths - and the bolder they are, the further they strike out along untrodden ways, the less can they expect us common folk to follow them, to understand the beauties they assure us they have found. But it does behove us to be patient, and, moreover, to be humble. To our grandchildren, Bartok and the other 'fiery particles' of today may well be the kindly and inspiring friends that Wagner is to us: in The Radio Times of 1990, some one may be quoting Bartok, as Wagner is cited here, by way of a sermon on the virtue of tolerance.
The creative artist is always, more or less, a law unto himself : nothing really new could ever be created otherwise. But Bartok is apparently bound by no laws at all, even of his own devising : if he is guided by any rules or formulae, he evolves new ones for every fresh work he gives us, with a rapidity which leaves even his own disciples panting far behind him, unable to keep pace with such a swift and tireless change of outlook,

Mr. JAMES AGATE and Mr. LEON M. Lion
A Theatrical Discussion
MR. AGATE's sprightly ability to maintain his points in a discussion is already well known to listeners. For a long time now he has been ' telling the world ' in a gay and critical manner the truth (as he sees it) about the latest plays. On this occasion he will join in a friendly fisticuffs with Mr. Leon M. Lion , the well-known London theatrical manager. During his career, Mr. Lion has put on most of Galsworthy's plays-in itself a. sufficient claim upon our gratitude. It will be particularly of interest, in this dscussion, to notice the different view-points, within the ' profession,' of the critic and the actor-manager.
