Edward German's Music

He will come back to his own. Recently the B. B. C. has been broadcasting some of Edward German's music. When he died the rather condescending way in which some papers wrote of him was particularly irritating. The revival of his music now is most popular. German had melody, freshness and some quality of tone peculiar to himself. What more need one ask?

It is good to see signs of his coming into his own at last.
