LS THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., JANUARY 17, 1932—PART FOUR. Strawinsky’s Concerto Misunderstood, Says Violinist Dushkin Recent Soloist With Philadelphia Orchestra Discusses the Great Modern Composer and His Whys and Wherefores. By E. de S. Melcher. what the public wants him to; who refuses to be interviewed (after being villainously misquot- ed by prominent critic in the English papers); who works like the proverbial trojan, and who personally supervised and con- ducted 11 or 12 performances of this work on the continent. “Does Stokowski conduct it the Strawinsky did?” “Very much. I admire him so much. He has been so kind. Has taken so much trouble with it. We had many rehearsals with the orchestra. Oh yes—he conducts it the way it is meant to be.” And Dushkin seems pleased all around. And why wouldn’t he be?—after HE truth of the matter is that the Strawinsky Con- | certo was not written on an order for Samuel Dushkin Mr. Dushkin explained on his re- cent visit here with the Philadel- phia Orchestra that it was written at the request of a cer- tain German music firm, which also handles Mr. Dushkin’s vari- | ous works and transcriptions, and | that it was ordered by that firm | at a time when it happened the | violinist was in the vicinity. Dush- kin, hearing about it, naturally became interested, met Straw- insky for the first time, sug- gested that he undertake the work for the composer, and the composer, who had heard the all to work with Strawinsky and ; to play a work for him all around the world, and to have it topped off by Stokowsky and the eminent . Philadelphians isn’t such a small | achievement for a young virtuoso, is it? violinist on several occasions, be- came delighted at the prospect and invited him to visit him and to help him with certain technical matters relevant to it. There- upon Dushkin went to Nice, later to a little place outside of Grenoble, and had the very good fortune for six months not only of being the guest of Strawinsky but of watching him work and finally of helping him in this work. Mr. Dushkin is alive with Strawinsky’s genius. He talks of him with a zest that is as notice- able as his zest at playing the con- certo. “Strawinsky,” he says, “is not a futurist, as so many would have him. He is an artist of to- day, not of tomorrow. Three years from now his work will be as different as his work of yes- terday is to today’s.” “How long did it take him to write the violin concerto?” “Two years and six months.
