On the Radio 1


The classical stations now play

The works of Elfrida Andrée,

And though no one would gauge her

As important or major,

She deserves to be heard in this way.

Luigi Boccherini (19 February 1743 – 28 May 1805) was an Italian cello and extremely prolific composer, mostly for his instrument.

If benign Boccherini were odder,

Or his musical style were broader,

He wouldn’t be found

To so amply abound

As classical radio fodder.
