To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
As a member of the audience at the Sanders Theatre concerts of the Boston Orchestra I should like to express an opinion different from that of Professor Jerome Bruner. My only feeling of regret at these concerts is that too frequently the resources of a great conductor and a magnificent orchestra seem to be wasted on a work which seems to have no merit except being new or by an American composer.
I think the great creative age of orchestra music begins with Mozart and ends with Wagner and that this should be reflected in orchestral programs. Of course all musical taste is subjective; but I should not want Professor Bruner's viewpoint on this subject to be the only one expressed in your columns. William Henry Chamberlin
