Extract

In Paris, between 15 October 1935 and 1 July 1936 there were:

246 symphony concerts with full orchestra,

30 with small orchestra (which is incredibly few),

57 with chorus,

115 chamber music concerts, not counting either sonata evenings or recitals by various instrumental soloists or groups, which make something like 700 performances to add to the above. Altogether, then, if I am to believe the Guide du Concert (from which I have taken these figures, adding a few concerts that were missed there), 1,144 occasions to exercise the reprehensible and avowedly useless profession of music criticism.
