[David Cairns writes: 'Mr. Magee's rage over his lost four words is touching but irrelevant. They were, of course, left out only to save space. and their omission in no way falsified his argument. He seems to have forgotten that in his article the stating of Kempe's point is clearly designed to supplement, not to supplant, the thesis about dynamics and the acoustics of the Festspielhaus.'—Editor, Spectator.]
