Miss Hyde, who is a successful Australian composer, was giving evidence before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Broadcasting. She said major Australian musical compositions were still comparatively unknown because they were performed few times and at wide intervals.

"In music. as in commerce. until the public is made familiar with an article there is little demand for it." she added. Miss Hyde said that. of all the arts, music was probably the slowly and laboriously produced.

most, and once on paper, the most vulnerable to wear and tear. Until a work was performed it was virtually non-existent and methods of duplication were bevond the financial reach of the average composer. As a purely mechanical pro cess, discounting the time spent in contemplation. variability of original inspiration. and selection of ideas.

copying the manuscript for a typical concerto for forte a orchestra would occupy about seven weeks of 40 hours. "assuming that the composer worked every second and had no other responsibility. and was not blind before he completed One advantage of establishing a fund to publish major works would he that the original score could preserved instead of Creation of A fund to publish major Australian being quickly worn out. "STAND ON MERITS" Mr. Frank Hutchens, honorary organiser of the Guild of Australian Composers, said, musical composition appeared to he the only creative art in tralia without some organised recognition.

He advocated a properly-constructed and financed Commonwealth body to co-ordinate activities of composers. Miss May Brahe. one of Australia's most successful composers. whose work has been published in England, America. Europe.

and Australia. said she opposed labelling music as Australian. "It should stand on its own merits." she said. "In England and America there is no legislation in favour of native-born composers. "Works.

both classical and popular, are performed according to their entertainment value." NEW T.A.A.

He said a previous Controller once complained a pistol had been held at his head over a safety regulation when an aircraft left Sydney on an uncertificated flight.
