(although I'm not unnaturally curious)
Er, do you mean you're [not unnaturally] curious, or that you're not [unnaturally curious]?

confusedly,

Ollie
To asuage your rather unfortunate and, I would like to think, unnecessary confusion, let me endeavour to clarify that it is not unnatural (to me, at least) that I am curious as to who it was that, in the context concerned, prompted "George Garnett" to write
"...An experience which Walton shares with at least one of our number here, I believe?..."

In other words (if you really need any others!), I wonder which member (i.e. "one of our number") it was that Mr Garnett had in mind when he wrote that...

Best,

Alistair

My laptop having only just risen from the grave I've only got as far as Searle 1 (with a dim memory of 3 and 4 from previkous airings). It must have taken a singular determination to be an out-and-out serialist in Britain in those
days. Would it be an overstatement or inaccuracy to suggest that early RR Bennett, Max, Goehr,Birtwistle were
enabled at one remove by this tenacity? And how robust of Walton to embrace the techniques a bit too. Searle
seems to render serialism in English, at times like the undertow of cocktail conversation then searing, as Gerhard
made it sound Catalan. I presume the commissioning of these performances is pre-RW, but it struck me that the
announcer's scripting wasnt half bad on this occasion. What are your memories of Searle Alastair?

Oh dear, sorry all! I hadn't meant to confuse, let alone cause anyone to have unnatural feelings.

It was indeed Alistair that I was thinking of and hoping maybe to prompt into sharing any thoughts about being taught by Humphrey Searle if he wished to. No great mystery about it. I just happened to pick up that you had been taught by Searle, Alistair, from the (excellent) Sorabji Archive website which I was visiting the other day in connection with that thread.
