Benjamin Britten in London - 16 October, 1932
from Journeying boy : the diaries of the young Benjamin Britten 1928-1938, page 118:
After supper write letters, & listen to Spencer Dyke Quart. playing Beethoven F min quart. (sure a wonder of the world) & Bridge 3 Idylls (marvels in another way).* Even the Quartet's murderous playing couldn't murder them.
