Abstract

Abstract SIR,Your review of the new Decca recording of my SERENADE FOR TENOR, HORN AND STRINGS has recently been shown to me. I should like, if you will allow me, to make a comment on it. In the Prologue and Epilogue the horn is directed to play on the natural harmonics of the instrument; this causes the apparent ‘out-of-tuneness’ of which your reviewer complains, and which is, in fact, exactly the effect I intend.1In the many brilliant performances of his part that Dennis Brain has given he has always I am sure, played it as I have marked it in the score.2 Anyone, therefore, who plays it ‘in tune’ is going directly against my wishes! If the critics do not like this effect they should blame me and not Mr. Brain. Yours etc.,
