SENAN MOLONY,

Chesterfield Grove, Dublin 15.

Sir, – Looking Bach on the letters on Beethoven’s Chopin Liszt, I found them, to be Franck, very entertaining. They all had a good Pärt. Some of the composers were outstanding in their own Field, no Haydn their light.

You, dear Sir, could bring the work to a finale by awarding a prize for the best opus. Janácek in the post? Anyway I’m Orff. I am very Bizet with Debussy tasks so I am not Gounod write another note. – Yours, etc,

GEARÓID TIMONEY,

Grange Road,

Rathfarnham, Dublin 16.

Sir, – Tallis this, I’m a Schumann most of your readers Allegri that this Messiaen has gone Farrar enough. I refer, of Carse, to those letter-writers and their Palestrina dream up puns that, by now, are, in Pärt, obviously Borodin from other letters, Scriabin the barrel and just pure Scheidt. I can’t Handel any Moore; in fact Arne I Orff to Haydn the Tavener for some decent Bartok and to Glinka Glass of Meyerbeer. Gluck. – Yours, etc,

NIGEL MOONEY,

Ballydonnell,

Avoca, Co Wicklow.

Sir, – I hope these musically X-rated puns are censored more carefully in the future. My daughter is A Minor. – Yours, etc,
