I believe there is a good deal to be said\nin favour of eventually making these records available for everybody,\nbut I take it there is no immediate intention of doing that. The\nSocieties are a sort of test of faith, rather after the style of the old\nQuaker's attitude that I often recall: you remember how, when a friend\nlamented to him the misfortune of another member of their community, and\nsaid how sorry he was, Quaker No. 1 replied, \"Aye, friend, and what is\nthy sorrow worth? Mine's worth a guinea.\" Not sorrow, but rejoicing,\nhere: and is it not worth a guinea or two to rejoice so refreshingly?\nVol. 1 of Beethoven, I learn, was over-subscribed, as was the first\nWolf. (Somebody has cried \"Wolf \" and it really is so.) There are a few\nvacancies for Beethoven 2 and Wolf 2, and for Sibelius and the Haydn\nquartets (apply to the Secretary, at H.M.V.). The manager of the\nSocieties will get some very useful insight into \"what the public\nwants.\" It actually is \"wants\" for once—not, as almost always is meant\nwhen that phrase is used, \"what the public will stand.\" The other side\nof the counter knows that!\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan class=\"body\"\u003eFrom \u003cb\u003eThe Gramophone\u003c\/b\u003e, March 1933\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9main_samplefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fsamples\/PAKM040.mp3578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fProducer's Note578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fcontent578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-large;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe legendary Schnabel Beethoven series continues\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"They embody what may well prove to be the sonically finest transfer\u003cbr\u003ethat these recordings from the 1930s have received\" Fanfare\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp class=\"body\"\u003eVolume Three of this series marked the first commercial\nuse of new software designed to deal with wow and flutter in mechanical\nrecordings.
