It was obvious that participants were of rather meagre proficiency and experi- ence.
The items in the programme included solos for piano, violin, pi-pa and cello, a harmonic ensemble, and finally a string quartet! 1 or them all, the Handel Violin Sonata, played by a young school-boy, was perhaps worthy of most favour- able comment, for he has a very sweet tone, and his play- ing seemed have musicianly possibilities which were re- latively absent in the great majority of the performers.

We all know that proficiency in music, as in any art of discipline is a gradual process, but surely the public ought not to be exposed to the efforts of music students while they are still in embryo.
