F—6 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MARCH 3, 1935—PART FOUR. NOTES AND NEWS IN WORLD OF MUSICAL AFFAIRS Conductor, Singers and Dancer in Week’s Concerts/Ballet, Orchestra, Singer Revival of Interest in Mendelssohn’s Harmonies Work of Great Composer, Almost Lost Sight of for a Time. Is Being Recalled—Once Brought Happiness to All Classes. By Aiice Eversman. I comg e great composers who, N THIS day of sophisticated thinking, musical modernism and lex living, it is relreshin and instructive to look back i thinking, working and living in | an entirely different manner, have nevertheless left us mar- | velous creations that still remain hard to equal. Dramatically | contrary to our present-day conceptions of both life and music‘ is the person of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. At this time, when | all the world is united in celebrating a Bach anniversary, the | man who, in the midst of a h: appy and busy life, devoted his time and genius to making known one of the great works of his great predecessor, deserves consideration. In connection with him it was said: “There is no is his prophet.” No greater opposites ever followed the same profession than Mendels- sohn and Bach, yet the genius of the | sturdier man found quick recognition in the heart and mind of this more | romantic musician, and, by virtue of the reverence of the younger com- poser, the great “St. Matthew's Pas- sion” was presented to the world and the image of Bach erected in the city he served so well musically. Classi- cism and romanticism clasped hands over the span of years, and together their separate and united strength | was handed over to the generations | to come. If genius be but the final aging of some particular wine in the human makeup, then Mendelssohn could be considered the finest example of such distilling. Centuries before, a wise | and learned ancestor reigned for a day as King of Poland. Some 300 years later lived a descendant of this man, also learned and scholarly, who found himself the father of a poor bit | of humanity, deformed and ugly, to whom he gave the name of Moses. In that miserable body lay a mighty spirit, a great mind and a noble heart Working against the greatest physical handicaps to gaining favor or advancement, beginning at the Jowest rung of the ladder of success, he was able, by force of a great power | within himself, to reach the heights | and to add to his name on the annals | of history that of his title, German Plato.” To his son, whom he guided with strict righteousness, he left the ex- ample of his noble teachings and fine principles. be the hyphen between the genius of his father and the genius of his son Felix, and so delighted in styling him- self. In Felix, the last great Men- delssohn, the brewing of genius which began with the one-day King of Po- land reached its height and strangely showed itself in music. From earliest “The childhood the gift was unmistakable.} and his father, Abraham, followed in the footsteps of his fathers and care- fully encouraged this new line of en- deavor. A happy home, a loving sister for companion, and music to his heart's desire was Felix's from his first conscious moments. His gift | grew in sureness and originality and he knew the pleasure of admiration from his first musical essays. A brilliant spirit flashing across the musical horizon of his time to | ever-awakened paeans of rapturous enthusiasm, he lived to see the shadow of another music gradually incroach on his hitherto exclusive realm, but not long enough to know the sorrow of abandonment which was to be the fate of his compositions under the influence of that same shadow become reality. Today there are signs of a return to a portion, at least, of that great | admiration which was his during his | lifetime. An appreciation also of his delicate imagery and his pure | style is again evident when one I his compositions invades the turbid tangle of a modern program. just possible that modern progress in the musical idiom has not brought all the hoped-for fruition and that the realization is becoming more gen- eral that harmony, poetry and sim- plicity are perhaps, after all, the best ingredients to mix together when | compounding music. Mendelssohn, his nature, his life and his career, is the antithesis of ‘what we are accustomed to associate with composers. He was a happy child and a happy man, his life was singularly free from trouble and, with but two or three exceptions, his career This son was destined to | It is | God but Bach, and Mendelssohn‘ ran smoothly on a crescendo of sd- ‘mlrallon In comparison, how scarred the souls of Beethoven, Wagner, Schu- | mann_and Berlioz, and even the hap- pier Schubert—how difficult the life and career of these men whose lives | touch the years of Mendelssohn. The thought has sometimes been brought forward that a touch of sor- | row would have added depth to the music Mendelssohn wrote. The com- posers who acted under the influence of sorrow and hardship have left us uplifting mementos of their struggles in which those likewise afflicted can | find comfort and help. But the gayety | and happiness which should have | ‘their equal portion in the chemistry | of life has not found manay biogra- \phers among composers. Seldom has an adult nature entered into the | sprightly daintiness of a fairy world | with' the seriousness and understand- ing of childhood as did Mendelssohn when he wrote his imperishable “Midsummer Night's Dream” music. | Rarely has simple tenderness and ! | sweet beauty charmed away the heavi- ness of the world as has his “Songs Without Words” and his larger works, such as the “Meerestille” or his “Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage” over- ture. The art of painting took a place nearly on the level with music in Mendelssohn’s affections. In fact, drawing pictures seemed his special talent. Pictures in colors or pic- tures in music, the atmosphere, the landscape, the mood were all etched | with vivid stroke and an unmistak- | |able clarity that made the discovery | of detail a joy. The earth, the sky, the ocean, different countries and their stamp of nationalism all are painted in tones by the light and sure stroke of Mendelssohn’s pen. He | wrote quickly and easily with im- mense enthusiasm, pouring out his abundant poetry of soul without a doleful blemish in the result. His own country, England and France united in placing him on a | pinnacle. Honors of every descrip- tion were his, and what was surely | more pleasing to him, the admlrntlon} of his fellow artists as well. Berlioz { wrote of him: “All I have heard of him is splendid and I believe him to be one of the great musicians of his time. His is one of those clear, pure | souls one does not often come across.” His music brought happiness to all| who heard it, from kings to common | people, and he was revered and loved | ‘by all classes. When Wagner first began to at- tract attention came the first indica- tion of a decline of interest in the music of Mendelssohn. A classist, in spite of his romanticism, Men- | delssohn had no patience with the {new order of music although he un- \easxly felt its appeal to his public. | Since that time many queer things have been heard in the name of | music and many branching roads | taken in follawing the torch lighted | by Wagner. Bit by bit, Mendelssohn | became relegated to a higher shelf in the world's musical library, from | which occasionally a work or two is taken down. Lately, however, the charm of his music_has come again into exercise | and there seems to be indicated a | revival of interest not only in his | music but the type of composition in | | which he stood so high. Perhaps, as he was able to reach back to his great predecessor, Bach, he may be able to reach forward to the modern- ist and soften with his harmonies the hard and angular music he would | have shrunk from had he lived in | this day of “modern” music. | All-Wagner Concert NOTHER all-Wagner program | the students’ concerts and the series A is announced by Dr. Hans Kindler for the concert of the National Symphony next Sunday afternoon in Consti- tution Hall. For the second all-Wagner concert Dr. Kindler has sclected the “Prize Song and Prelude Act III,” “Die Meis- tersinger”; “Preludes Acts I and IIL” “Lohengrin”; “Finale,” from “Goetter- dammerung,” Good Friday music from “Parsifal, “Traume” and the world- famous “Tannhauser” overture. Dr. Kindler is a devoted admirer of ‘Wagner’s music. It will be remem- bered that his father, a noted cellist, played under Wagner at the music festivals in Bayreuth. THE National Symphony Orchestra, directed by Dr. Kindler, will re- sume its “Musical Tour of Various Countries” Saturday morning in Cen- tral High School, with Scandinavia, England and Ireland as ports of call. For this fifth concert in the series of six scheduled for alternate Saturday mornings, Dr. Kindler has selected the rollowlng program: e for” Siin “Peer Gynt Sui!

This concert will mark the first time that Gabrilowitsch and Spalding have appeared in Washington in joint recital, although both artists appeared here separately last season as soloists with the National Symphony Orches- tra.

The campaign will be launched March 15 and various committees are determined to raise $100,000 before April 1. This amount will enable the men of the orchestra to receive a living wage on a weekly basis and so insure the orchestra’s ex- istence. The proposed fund will also provide more concerts in Constitution Hall, additional students’ concerts and also permit the orchestra to appear in a greater number of cities than has been possible in previous years, and thus advertise Washington as a cul- tural center. The general women's committee is headed by Mrs. Tracy Dows. This committee in the past has been the important factor in the orchestra’s campaigns and has conducted its drive practically single-handed. This year a men’s committee, headed by Dr. Wil- liam McClellan, has been organized to participate in the campaign. Gabrilowitsch and Spalding, who played the entire Beethoven sonata cycle for violin and piano during s series of New York recitals last sea- son, will include Beethoven's cele- brated “Kreutzer Sonata” as the third | of a series of sonatas they will play | during the afternoon, Including | Brahms' “D Minor Sonata, Opus 108,” | and Mozfrt’s “E Flat Major Sonal K. 380." ® The musical career of Ossip Ga- brilowitsch has been one of brilliant and steady advance since, as a boy of 10, he entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory. At 16 he won the much-coveted Rubinstein prize, the highest award in the gift of the con- servatory, L P § Examinations for A. G. O. ARY MINGE WILKINS, dean of the District of Columbia Chapter, A. G.

His parents apprenticed him in turn to a shoemaker, a book- binder and a woodcarver, but he con= tinually progressed toward his goal. In 1896 he was offered an engage- | ment at Moscow in the private opera house of the lawyer-millionaire, Mamontov. Then, in 1900, he ap- peared at La Scala in Milan, with overwhelming success. In 1907, Chaliapin made his first appearance at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, singing “Mefistofele,” “Barbier de Sevilla,” “Don Giovanni” and “Faust.” The World War took him back to Russia for seven years, but in 1921 he sang again in London, later coming to America and singing ‘Boris” for the first time. Since that time, his tours have been an annual feature of America’s musical season. CELLO INSTRUCTION—Special attention to tone. technique: s trio for enter- tainments. . _evenings.
