Mr. PHILIP THORNTON
IN THE PRESENT TALK Mr. Thornton Will deal with the marked contrast between the European's idea of Eastern music and what it really is, rather than with cases of parallels in the music of different countries and different ages, which was the subject of his earlier talks in this series. Most people recognise snatches of The Mikado when they hear them, but few have had a chance of hearing the actual music in Japanese drama. That, roughly is the underlying idea of this talk in the Musical Switchback.
