[78-L] Test...

[Ted Kneebone]

Let's see if this one gets thru.  Tried 2 or 3 times and nothing appeared...

At one point we were discussing the fade out-fade in technique of the 1930s. 
Stokowski's people did that with his Nutcracker suite on Victor.  I think it 
was later issued on Camden without the fades.

We talked about the cutoffs of Toscanini's version of Beethoven's 7th 
symphony with the NYPSO, and of the Beethoven violin concerto with Heifetz. 
Reissues corrected those problems, including the long silences at he 
beginnings of the discs.

On Koussevitzky's BSO disc of the Berlioz Roman Carnival Overture, the final 
chord's echo was cut short.

On the other hand, I have read of Beecham's congratulatory comment ("Good 
work, men!" or something like that) contained in the leadout gooves of 
something, maybe by Berlioz.
