F—6 SYMPHONY COMPLETES SEASON : OTHER MUSIC NEWS Demands for Greatness In This Wor@_qf Music ‘L;VC! Of Bach and Hand Human Understanding Must Be Combined to Attain Perfection—Need of Education. By Alice THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., APRIL 7, 1935—PART FOUR. < el Show That Talent and | Eversman. 1 HE quality of greatness embraces so many different fields | and so many elements that it is difficult to confine it within the bounds of a si past month has been the in honor of the birth anniversary of two great musicians, Bach | mbining in their personal make-up the e greatness of human understanding. t their talent would have been less and Handel, both men col greatness of talent and th Without the latter elemen imposing. In all the words that wise men have 1eft to guide and encourage those who follow, the need of being broadly human is ever linked with their defi- nition of greatness. In music more than in any other branch of art its presence is essential if there would be everlasting fame. A glance over the lives of all the great composers Or musicians will discover that, whatever their shortcomings in other directions, they were warmly human and symp: thetic with the needs of humanit Generosity has always been con- ceded to be a component of the artis- tic temperament, but rather in an indulgent way. as if in reality it were a weakness. Artists’ generosity toward each other and their indulgence of the frailties of their kind have been ac- cepted as a part of the easy-going way of doing things and absence of real will power that more materially minded people like to associate with the followers of art. As a matter of fact, this liberality of thought is the most precious ingredient in humanity and the principal element necessary for a musician’s nature. One cannot be a great artist without the development of the intellectual facultics, but the proper education of the emotional side takes precedent. There has been a great deal of mis- understanding about what constitutes an artistic temperament, many be- lieving that a highly emotional re- action to every situation is a sure indication of artistic ability. Perhaps Bach was somewhat erratic in the ful- fillment of his school duties and tem- pemmemal in his insistence on certain non-essentials during his lifetime, but these were minor instances in a life full of hard work, a constant striving Tor perfection, a deep religious feeling and a contentment with simple pleas- ures. In these qualities Handel's life paralleled that of Bach. For a musician to aim at greatness. he must first consider his spiritual qualifications. He must think much and in thinking feel, so that by the power of emotion the bloom may be kept on his ideas. He must be able to understand all feeling, submerging himself in its depth in order to ex- tract its essence for future reproduc- tion i music. He must detach him- gelf from the personal, striving to see with the eyes of others, and from different angles broaden his vision in every possible way. Yet in himself must be kept, untouched by harrowing experiences, the purity of ideal and the loftiness of purpose. From time to time individuals have been born who held within themselves all the ingredients of greatness and by and through themselves worked out their destiny. These are the favored ones of the earth, but for those less blessed is left the guidance of others who have trod the path before them. In books, in poetry, paintng and ngle unqualified definition. The occasion of universal celebration | above all in music is left the record of their discoveries from which u-‘ sistance can be had if one but look | | for it. If a musician’s life would be | | well ordered it must be directed by an intelligence that grasps its im- portance as a rudder steering toward | greatness All people carry within themselves the limit of their talent. There is & ! boundary fixed by nature when the cruc:ble of life mixed the parti- cles that were sifted in with a gener- ous or a careless hand. Sooner or later | one senses the restraint of the bound- ary and many give up in despair. Yet the degree of greatness is not meas- | ared by the world's acclaim nor the | deeds that attract attention. In music, | as in any undertaking, one may be | great in a hidden fashion. It is not | given to every musician to be inscribed ‘ in the hall of fame, but it is in his | power to be great by means of his broad-mindedness, his knowledge and his influence in whatever circle he | finds himself. | There is a peculiar working together | of forces in the production of great- | ness. Tracing backward, many a great artist may find the germ of his greatness planted by the one who taught him the elementals of music, but in such an unforgettable manner that again and again the principles of that early teaching spurred him on or enlightened him to further endeavay. | The teacher himself was perhaps | never called great, yet from his ideals and teachings sprang greatness. A musician may have spent his life in doing things in a small way in an obscure corner of the world, but by his fervor and the spirituality of his thoughts, touched a more powerful | nature and caused it to flower into undying beautv. One short moment ! in which a musical truth is fervently expressed may open the way to great- ness in another. Both the spoken and the printed word are mighty factors, arousing and inspiring people to great attainments, but also mighty is the soft voice of music. It is not difficult to be great in| music. In composition, yes, for that | touches a divine source, but as regards the giving out of music, it requires only the constant use of heart and mind. Thinking and feeling and their ardent expression in music is all that is necessary. It is the electric current | that runs through a crowded hall and | awakens a corresponding desire to| think and feel in as idealistic a fashion. | Such a response reacts again on the one who set it in motion, stimulating the flow of a yet greater art. Subtle, vet logical, is the working of music, invading every class, destroy- ing every barrier, inspiring the leaden and upholding the brilliant, and send- | ing the tendrils of its influence through centuries. The proof of this is an entire world bowing in homage ! before Bach and Handel 250 years | after their birth.

This means more than the fact that the orches- tra played more concerts than ever before, more out-of-town engage- ments than ever before, presented more artists than ever before, played more great symphonies than ever be- fore or presented more new music than ever before heard here, though it did all of these things. It means, principally, that during the season more than 75,000 persons in Wash- ington heard the 33 concerts given by the orchestra The way in which the type of pro- gram presented by the orchestra has been received has been a source of gratification to Hans Kindler, his mu- sicians and music lovers in general. Kindler presened for the first time in Washington the following old and new works: Symphonies, “No. 3 in C,” C. P. E. Bach; “Le Divin Poeme,” Scriabin; “No. 2 in D Major,” Sibelius, and Randall Thompson's “Second Symphony ” Suites, ysmbolic poems and miscellaneous works which re- ceived first performances in Wash- ington by the National Symphony Or- chestra included “Nights in the Gar- dens of Spain,” De Falla; “Le Roi s’Amuse,” Delil “Concerto for Christmas Night,” Manfredni; “Suite for Strings,” Purcell; “Ballet Suite,” Rameau-Mottl, and Ravel’s “Mother Goose Suite.” Dr. Kindler presented the following works by native American composers: | “French Noels,” Phillip James; | “Chanticleer Overture,” Danfel Greg “Chorale for String: : “Castellana, ' Mary Howe: “A Negro Parade.” Lamar Stringfield, |and “Joe Clark Steps Out,” Charles Vardell, jr.

On January 12 the National Sym- phony inaugurated its znnual series of students concerts, entitled “A Musical Tour of Various Countries,” in Central High School. The con- certs were given on alternate Satur- day mornings and attracted more than 12,000 young listeners. In this serfes, music by composers represent- ing the fcllowing countries was pre- sented: rance, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia. England, Ireland, Rus- sia and America As a prelude to the series of six students’ concerts, three special chil- dren’s concerts were presented last December. These concerts were given in Western, McKinley and Eastern High Schools, thus affording children in widely-separated areas the oppor- tunity of hearing the National Sym- phony. > In Baltimore the orchestra gave three concerts at the Lyric Theater. On March 24 the orchestra visited the South, giving concerts at Ashe- ville, N. C.; Columbia, S. C, and at the University of Virginia. These concerts were also eminently success- ful, thus attesting to the future possi- bilities of more out-of-town engage- ments for next season. Next season’s program will include a series of outdoor Summer concerts at the Lincoln Memorial, additional children’s concerts and more concerts in Constitution Hall next Winter. HE last major recital of the season will be given at Consti- tution Hall this afternoon at 4 o'clock, when Nino Martini, young tenor of the Metropoli- tan Opera, concert, radio and, very shortly, the screen, will be heard in a Joint song recital with Gladys Swarth- cut, mezzo-soprano of the Metropolitan Opera, and, like Martini. a favorite of concert and radio audiences The recital will be under the auspices of Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey and will mark the final attraction of the 1934-35 season.

For like a crystal ball that con- denses color and sharpens detail of everything it reflects, this superb recording gave back to the conductor something ap- proaching his own ideal performance; a quality of brilliance, warmth and clarity impossible even in actual performance. 1f such a statement seems exaggeration, we invite you to hear this incredibly beautiful recording, available at your dealer’s. PARSIFAL, ACT III A Symphonic Synthesis Of the reverent yet humanly passionate poem that Mr. Sto- kowski has made of certain music from Act 11 of Wagner's Parsifal, it is difficult to speak with restraint. Parsifal may be, as someone has said, a work of “exquisite moments and interminable half-hours”, yet in these two records there is nothing but the potent distillate of Wagner's genius; a syn- thesis of all the elements that make Parsifal a wonder of mystical loveliness—that made Wagner not merely a person- age, but a force in the world of music. The recording is worthy of the music and of the orchestra. ASK TO HEAR ALSO Bach—Concetto in D Minor (Pisno Edvwin Fischer with Orchestra Mozars—Piano Quartet in G Minot Arrdr Schoabel—Messrs.
