It is a sine qua non amongst us here and even in Europe, that the individuals composing an orchestra should be trained to pick op each other's idiosyncrasies, and be taught to flay in sympathy with each other. In order to attain this, my suggestion to the Hongkong Amateur Musicians is to follow the style of Shanghai and have a useful and thoroughly competent instrumental musical society of their own. I can in my prevent not altogether unenviable position read their thoughts and know what they say to this, but I am nothing If not an impartial critic. However, I must tell them, in the cheery style of my old friend and modern philosopher, Dr. Canille, that it is no earthly use whatever arguing a priori that nobody cares for classical music, and that it will be a waste of time and trouble to undertake the organisation of society similar to that existing" in Shanghai. Until the experiment has been given a thoroughly fair trial no one can say that its success le impossible.
