        Ha Ha !!
        I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

        I am not a number, I am a free man.

          I've always felt slightly smug that my 7:30 - 8:00 drive to work usually gives me a relatively gimmick free half hour of the Breakfast Programme - if I'm a bit late and they start to play one of the dreadful concatenations of the best 10 seconds from what's on during the next hour I simply turn off. Now it looks as if I won't be listening at all with the "experiment" to move my/your/bad call (whatever it's called!) to just after the 7:30 news.

            That's interesting. Fewer people are listening at 7.30. I wonder whether it hasn't proved popular or whether the idea is to attract more people to the earlier time? Given that in the early morning people listen at the time that suits them (rather than because of what's on), I'd say the former: at 7.30 it will annoy fewer people than at 8.30
            It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

              Well how pleasing it was to hear the Barber of Seville on Breakfast this morning at 07:06 - I don't think it had been played this week yet.

                ..and how pleasing to hear whole movements of a Mozart piano concerto and a Schubert piano sonata on Sunday (the only day on which I listen).
                Does anybody else remember an interview with Rob Cowan in an issue of the Radio Times that featured a major 'relaunch' of Radio 3, in which he assured us that there would be NO individual movements torn from larger works without a very good reason?

                  What all of it - that's a first - or was it just the overture?

                    I'd like to see the results of the lie-detector!

                        There has always been a proviso: no single movements without 'editorial justification' ...

                        As the sun is out, I shall leave you to ponder on the sense of 'editorial justification'.

                          Two can play at that game...I shall demand an explanation of CBCP (Current Bleeding Chunks Policy) 'in the national interest'

                            1) Last year R3 broadcast Leif Ove Andnes playing Mozart PC 24 followed by
                            the 3rd movement of PC 14 as an encore.

                            2) Jonathan Biss at the Edinburgh Festival played the 2nd movement of Sonata K330
                            as an encore

                            3) Exactly a year ago Andras Schiff at the Wigmore Hall astonished his audience
                            by playing the 2nd movement of LvB Sonata Op 111 as an encore.

                            4) To top that, Sviatoslav Richter once played the colossal 4th movement of
                            LvB's Hammerklavier as an encore.

                            5) Emanuel Ax regularly plays well chosen single movements from great works as encores.


                            Disgraceful isn't it?

                              Chrildren often wish they could live on a diet of lollipops - no reason for the Beeb to force feed listeners the same - quite a difference between playing a virtuoso lollipop after a concert than suggesting that they make a wholesome diet and should form the basis of planning.
