Now there’s always a lot of talk about symphonies — about “the day of the symphony is dead”. It’s the same sort of talk as there is about novels. The day oft he novel is dead, you see, but the fact

remains that there are millions of people in the world who want to read a rather
full-length book, and that is a novel. And people will still go on buying them,
and they will still go on reading them, because it gives them enormous pleasure
and a great deal more. And so you will always get symphonies, because you’ve got to have something, in order to build up a program.
