Scope and content
Refers to the publication of Arnold E. T. Bax's composition, which set some of Fiona MacLeod's poems to music. The publication is in association with the Society of British Composers. McEwan apologises that the publication failed to acknowledge the authorship of the poems and sets out how he plans to remedy the mistake. Notes Bax as a young composer with considerable promise.
