THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, B O JUNE 29, 1930—PART FO ‘ M d Is F ¢ BY HELEN FETTER. | UNE is going through the door into the tunnels of his- o tory tomorrow. She carries with her the heavy list of Kinal student recitals for the sea- son -30. Never have there been.more such programs. Also never have -the lists of students participating been longer than have come over the music editor’s desk this séason for publication. Within the month of June alone there were 59 such events men- tioned in these columns. This by no means includes all the student recitals, for they began ay far * back as the last week of April, sprouted with renewed vigor Music week when the Pianists’ Club gave its usual 10 pro- grams. Todnga the only advance announcements are for this eve- ning and tomorrow, which would indicate that the end is in sight. One sometimes wonders when looking over these long1 lists of music students, by far the major- ity of which are pianc students, Jjust what proportion of these boys and girls have that real inner love of and genius for musical expres- sion that they may become the Paderewskis, Hofmanns and Myra Hesses of the future. Naturally, the percentage will be very small. On the contrary, however, it is ex- ceedingly heartening to find that 50 many Washington parents real- ize the great importance of musi- cal knowledge for general educa- tion and welfare of their chil- dren. Just last week a Washington musician in New York sent a booklet on “The Meaning and Practice of Creative Music” to this desk. It was written by Her- man Liebman for the Associated Music Teachers’ League of New York. As a foreword, it says: “Dedication: To the vast army of music teachers who, unsung , and unheralded, bring music into the homes of the poor and the hearts of the ungifted, thus cul- tivating our national artistic soil, out of which shall spring the flower of genius; to that army of the faithful and the sincere, we lovingly inscribe this pamphlet.” When one considers how few music teachers, for all their sin- cerity and fitness as teachers, are destined to enjoy the instruction of truly great talent, one feels even stronger a sense of admira- tion for the thousands who fol- low that calling just the same. R CIENCE-has proved that music is a real necessity to develop- ing the faculties of a human being. Not only present-day psychologists, But educators back of these, even beyond the decrees of Aristotle and Plato, even to the oldest Chinese culture records, have demonstrated that the study of music has definite value in dis- ciplining and stimulating mental and emotional faculties. This is particularly true.where music is taught in early childhood. The cultivation of so-called apprecia- tion- after one is grown and the development of the art of listen- ing intelligently to musical per- formances is not enough. The fullest values of music to the hu- man being are brought out only by actual participation in the pro- ducing of music. Because of this, there is no oné connected with musical produc- tion in any nation so important as the amateur. Only when peo- ple generally in a country have the playing of singing’ of music:ds a beloved recreation is that na- tion truly musical. All the money in the world will not give any in- dividual the personal values which music offers every one, if that in- dividu#l only listens to some oné else -perférm. - The politician, banker, doctor, lawyer or secre- tary who can go home, after a day of conceéntration on_business sub- jects, and, after dinner, play elas- sical music casually on the piano or ramble through a book of Ger- man lieder, or try out a new violin | | selection or maybe even just play a very simple, old and hackneyed but beloved piece of -music, has ,built for himself and his family & fund of pleasure. Such a per- son does not-mind. when the radio ®goes “static” or the weather is so inclement that it is desirable to 8it at home. Such an individual is dependent on no machinery or evén any other person for entertainment and relaxation. On thé contrary, he or she is able to afford pleas- ure to many. others who have not cultivated the musical arts. 54 please even more those who have and who are temporarily playi the role of listener, for such musi- cians know the language of the music themzfilves and supply with theéir own Imaginationh supple- mentary beauty to the pérhaps limited gift of the performer. * * X % THE people who have névet studied music and thus can only enjoy the limited pleasure of lis- tening to others perform are in the same position as people of one nationality who witriess a re- markable play performed in a language foreign to them. They can only %ét the sheer emotional reaction that is obvious and miss the subtler meanings completely. It is no wonder that they fre- quently get very bored unléss such| a marvelous artist as eisler, McCormack, Rachmaniti ol Toscanini is the medium through gave up her careér as a concert artist and concentrated her ef- forts on writing, teaching and en- joying performance only in cham- ber music or solo plnylng in friends’ homes, told this writer: “There isn’t so much to this concert game. It resolyes itself after the first few years of glamour into incessant traveling under all conditions, playing in all moods and learning the amazing same- ness of hotel rooms all over the world. No, I do not regret in the least giving up my concert tours. I am getting so much more real living out of what I do now and have so much more time t6 thor- oughly enjoy my music and that of others.” Moreover, it would not be sur- prising if, in the swift changing of thihgs, the old-fashioned for- mal concert or recital disappeared completely and only the talkies and radio, and, probably, in tiine, television, offered contracts even the greatest soloists. * x x % A BOROUGH in London, Eng- land, Walthamstow by name, has voted to have a musical di- rector to lead the people of that community in musical perform- ances of high standard. Accord- ing to a dispatch from a London aper, the heads of this borough ave decided that such a director would be worth 100 English pounds per year—about $500 in American dollars. The réquire- ments for the post include ability “to organize and be responsible for the running of about 20 high- class municipal concerts, the en- gagements of artists, to act as accompanists for them, and to advise the council as to the en- gagement of bands for the parks and open spaces.” Considering the cost of prep- aration, in music conséervatory alone, for such a position, this salary seems ultra-modest. At the same time it is said that a number of fine musicians who have at heart the increasing of musical interest in all parts of London have applied for the posi- tion, considering it as a side issue | to their ordinary work. It is said the Musiclans’ Union of London | welcomed the idea. e MAN who was notably con- nected for many yeéars with musical endeavors of Washington has just died. William Bruce King had many activities in his busy career which was closed last Mon- day. He was a lawyer by profes- sion. He was the author of many works of value to those in his pro- fession. He was known as a prac- tical and useful person in educa- tional work. He was a leader in patriotic endeavors here during the World War. He was a former president of the Washington So- ciety of Fine Arts. Also he was a distinguished musical amateur. Always his name and actual personal participation was found in endeavors for better music in the National Capital. He was in- strumental in the organization of the Washington Choral Sociéty. In all his association with musi- cal efforts here, Mr. King always | showed a sincere love of the best |in music and an equally sincere practicality as to the more ma- terial side of any éffort that was brought forth. It is small wonder that Mr. King was constantly sought out for his opinion and advice in practically every project that was mdde by any group in ‘Washington muslcall{. He was one of the grand old guard of musicians here who really held the interest of music in Washing- ton definitely at heart and dl? S0 with no thou%ht of personalities or anything 6thér than thé geén- eral welfare in music.

MUSIC COLLEGE REORGANIZES g £ JuLia ; SCHELLING - i § HENRI S, GREGORY- ADICAL changes in policies and plans feature the reorganization of the Washington College of Music for the coming season, according _to _announcements recently issued by Dr. Hugh R. Roberts, president of the college. Although the ast year, the twenty-sixth of the col- ege’s existence, was unusually suc- cessful, especially in the establishment of the college in its new home on S street, there is definite reorganization going on at the present time. In the first place, Dr. Roberts states that there will be no heads of the ous school departments. Each teacher is chosen carefully for his or her indi- vidual abllity and supremity in some one phase of musical training, Various additions have been made to the faculty and some resignations have been accepted. Another outstanding interesting phase of the changes in the collége’s curriculum is the opening of classes for foreign stu- dents. This departure from purely civic plans has recelved the formal approval of the State Department of the United States Government. In accordance with this arrangement, stu- dents may come to the college from foreign countries without being sub- jected to the usual rules concerning the annual quota. They may, remain in the United States for the period of their study with the college. It has long been the custom for American students to be admitted to schools in foreign countries. Now the reverse opportunity is offered foreigri students in the National Capital of the United States. During this Summer, while three of the instructors of the college's reorganized faculty, Julia Schelling, Emanuel Zelin and Henri Smidt-Gre- gor, are abroad, they will hold a num- ber’ of auditions for students who may desire to return to America with them for study at the Washington College of Musie. New members of the school's faculty just announced include Miss Schelling. Mr. Gregor, Miksa Merson and Henri Sokolov. Miss Srhelling will give three courses he coming year, one on on “Instruments of the and the third a “General Music History” course. For the second of these, Miss Schelling will use, in con- junction with her own material, the re- markable collection of slides owned by her distinguished brother, Ernest Schell- ing, famous pianist and composer. iflas Schellihg is well known for lit- erary contributions in-a leading music magazine and is distinguished as a_lec- turer and pianist, both here gnd in Europe. This Summer while abroad she will Jecture at Bayreuth on the Wag- nerian operas. These are the first ever given there in English. The invitation to present this course was extended to Miss Schélling by Siegfried Wagner. The lecturer is being assisted in this series of 21 lectures by Count Gravina, a Continental planist of note, and grandson of Franz Liszt. During her stay in Bayreuth, Miss Schelling will entertain Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Kreisler, Mr.. dnd Mrs. Ernest Schelling and others. - Dr. Felix Schell- ing, the other disti ishéd member of her family, is in country as head of thé deépartmeént of English at the University of Pennsylvania. Before re- turning to Washington in the Autumn, Miss Schelling will motor in Southern France. Hefirl 8. Gregor, who is at present abroad concertizing in Sweden, Ger- D. C. Organi Philadelphia Convention Qmsnumhérotuuonmwel ‘Washington journeyed to Philadel- phia last Monday for tié ninth general convéntion of American Guild of ta, inclue those both in the United States and in Canada. ‘There were many interesting and un- usual features included in the five-day session of the convertion. In addition to business meetings and more general | programs, there were a number of solo HENRI SoxkoLov- many and France, a guest of the Hun- chenyi, will join the piano faculty. Mr. Oregor, also. well known as a composer, has recently had two of his songs published by a leading music house. "He will conduct a class in com- position at the Washington College of Music during the coming season, in addition to piano classes. inning his musical career as a student at the Imperial Conservatory of Music in Moscow, he later was graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in Berlin and studied under Dr. Ernst Rudorft and Heinrich Barth, as well as under . Max Bruch in composition, and Leopold Wolff in organ. He taught pri- vately in Berlin for several years, prior to a successful tour of Europe &s & con- cert artist. Mr. Merson, who is of Hungarian birth, first studied under his giff father and later with Prof. Ssen the Royal Academy in Budapest. lowing his graduation there he went to Vienna, where he became a pupil of Emil Sauer, head of the Vienna “Meisterschule.” Mr. Merson was the winner of the highly coveted Liszt prize, awarded by the city of Budapest for six consecutive years. Last season he was heard in this city in two Lisst programs in conjunction with Miss Schelling. In addition to his piano classes the coming season, he will con- duct a repertoire class at the coilege. ‘There is a new member of the violin staff of the college, who is well known and popular in Washington both as concert artist and instructor. This new member is Henri Sokolov, concert- master of the National Symphony Or- chestra. He was a prize pupil of the Peabody Conservatory in_ Baltimore, studying also with the distinguished pedagogue and violinist, Cesar Thom- | da; son. In this city Mr. Sokolov is like- wise a leading member of the National String Quartet in association with Rich- ard Lorleberg, Samuel Feldman and Max Zinder. Emantuel Zetlin, violinist, in his two years at the college has endeared him- self to his-own pupils and to the entire faculty and student body. He will remain as a-violin instfuctor and will also conduct ensemble classes, member- ship in which will be open to both violinists and pianists who may desire the benefits from his training in this field of music. Mr. Zetlin is dbroad for the Sum- mer. He will spend some time with his former teacher, Carl Flesch, and will do a number of concerts with Mr. Smidt- Gregor before they both return in the Autumn. Before coming to this city with the College of Music, Mr. Zetlin was for four yéars a member of the faculty of Curtis Instituté, and a mem- ber of the Curtis Quartet, whosé per- sonnel includéd Carl Flesch, Louls Bailly and Felix Salmond. A n-tlva of Petre . Russia, he was awarded first prise in violin with highest hofors on the occasion of his graduation from the Imperial Consérvatory there in 1916, when the jury awarding the prise in- cluded Leopold Auer and Alexander Glazounofl. ) toth:r new members will be given ater. Four Sopranos Are Listed For Recital_s_iext Year AN inspection of local annountements for the season 1930-31 rather clearly indicates that up to the present time, at least, neither Rosa Ponselle nor Luerezia Bori, two oufstanding Metropdlitan sopranos, have béen book- ed for m&cen appearances here next, Fall and Winter.
