F--6 T HE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO D. C., SEPTEMBER 15, 1935—PART FOUR. WOMAN’S PLACE IN MUSIC: NEWS OF CURRENT EVENTS < Great Music Is Traced To Woman'’s Inspiration In the Background of Musical History She Stands, Not Totally Obscure—Her Com- position Record Lags, However. By Alice Eversman. T HAS often been asserted that the real gift for music has not, and .per- haps never will be, part of the feminine endowment, The claim is based on the fact that the real musical gift lies in the power to create music and that up to the present time, women composers have been in the minority. This idea has greatly helped to retard feminine endeavors, for few have been able to surmount the difficulties placed in their way by male competitors. Those who have survived and earned< lasting fame in the professional field |for his reticence seldom allowed him have been the fortunate possessors of sturdy characters and strong consti- tutions and the type of will power which guarantees success. Even so, the road has been a thorny one. Un- doubtedly, if the truth could be known, many fine talents in women have been lost to the world from lack of en- couragement and help. But if women in the past have con- tributed little to musical literature, they have a glorious connection with its inspiration. To the subtle influ- ence which they exerted in the lives of the great composers, the world owes some of its most noble musical ex- periences, some of the most magnifi-| cent revelations of the heights to which the human soul can soar. Throughout the history of music it would seem to have been the province of women to bring out the deepest roetry, the finest ldealism and the greatest grandeur in the composers, whose gift might not have reached that superlative degree of expression | without their assistance. Some of the master composers have | been glad to openly acknowledge then" indebtedness while others have left it to posterity to decide that a ‘master- | piece owed its inspiration to some | woman. One, the great Liszt, has in-| corporated his gratitude in a legal | document for all the world to take cognizance of. write his testament, his first thought was of the woman who had devoted her life to him, the Princess Caroline von Sayn-Wittgenstein, and in touch- ing humility he put aside any credit for the greatness of his own talent in order to make public acknowledgment of the inspiration her devotion had been to him. It makes poignant read- | ing to find this artist, who had all| Europe at his feet in homage to him as pianist, composer and man, apolo- gizing to her tfor not having accomp- plished more, for not having, perahps. come up to her expectations as cre- ative artist. Each morning, before he began his day’s work, it had been their custom to kneel together in prayer. Each new work was developed by the aid of her warm sympathy, which held the outline of the goal, | clear and beautiful, before him. To| the companionship of this woman the | world owes the ripe flowering of Liszt genius. Without the three women so closely interwoven in his life, the genius of ‘Wagner might still be awaiting recog- | The fretful the nition. hard-working, Minna, the fashioning of his greatness, from the homely help of his first wife to the constructive planning of his sec- | ond wife. Yet neither of these two had the happiness to know they were | the cause of such wide expansion of the wings of fancy, such loosening of the surging waters of emotion, such | eager ascension to glorious heights as | was Mathilda’s, the inspiration of *Tristan and Isolde.” Long after the death of the master, Cosima worked for his glory and through her efforts not only the music itself, but its greatness, has been im-| pressed upon the consciousness of the musical world. One cannot be completely certain who were the ones to keep glowing the warm inspiration of Beethoven, ‘When preparing to glamorous Mathilda | ‘Wesendonck ang the energetic, re-| sourceful Cosima each took part in| the faithful | to make reference to an individual. But the influence was at work throughout his life enhanced by his own power of idealism. Noble as were his thoughts, with their attunement to the infinite, it is not difficult to imagine the ones that carry the human touch, the delicate, poetic guid- ing of a woman’s charm. Robert Schumann, in the first year of his married life, wrote his unmatchable lieder, their number flowing from his pen with inexhaustable richness. With tender clairvoyance he wrote of a woman's feelings, through cherished emotional experiences with an under- standing which found in tone the exact counterpart of the deep senti- ment of the words, It is rare for any one to have the distinction of being the inspiration of two great artists and in this respect, if in no other, Clara Schumann stands alone. Yet not only was she the guid- ‘mg star of her husband and of Brahms, but the stimulation of her | | personality was felt by all the artists who frequented her home. They brought their new works to her for criticism, they came to play for her or sought to have her present at their | | public concerts for her deep sympathy | and uncompromising art ideals spurred | them on to finer endeavor. Through her constant championship, the mu- sical works of her husband became known as well as those of Brahms, who took courage from her belief in him at a time when other musicians were not ready for his manner of ex- | pression. One is inclined to feel sorry for Chopin that his life was linked to that of a self-centered woman, albeit & genius. It is known, however, that deep in his heart he cherished the | remembrance of a young girl who first aroused the creative vision within him. In spite of the turbulence of his associations with George Sand, she | surrounded him with the attention his nature desired most, that of a home, and a circle of friends of the kind that nourished his genius. liancy of her mind and her true artis- | tic feeling were there to help him in the long evenings when he played his | | latest work for her alone, and listened i | to her opinion of it. Although the number is still in the | minority, there has always been out- | standing woman artists in the pro- | fessional field. Most of them have | been singers, and here, again, they | served as inspiration to composers, helping to fashion and enlarge the scope of the works written for them to perform.. Their voices and per- sonal qualifications were the deter- | mining factor in the compositions of | many masterpieces which the world | delights in to this day. The list of composers who were inspired to write by the individual talents of certain woman singers is no mean one. and studded with immortal names. Today woman's influence is not only strong, but frankly acknowl- | edged or national character. and the quality of the art of the women before the public, musically, today equals their masculine con- temporaries. In musical composition, however, the ranks are spare, for women have still to find the way to | musical expression in symphonies and | concertos of a kind that will last forever. In Local Music Circles fifth concert today at 3:30 p.m. it has secured the serv- {ces of Dorothy Sherman Pierson as HE Washington Memorial Park I announces that for its fifty- | guest soloist. Mrs. Pierson will be | accompanied at the organ by Edith B. Athey, who will also render a number of organ solos.

A SEASON of four concerts to be | given in Constitution Hall on Thursday evenings during 1935-6, with great conductors and soloists of the first rank, has been announced by the Philadelphia Orchestra Associa- tion.

At the second, on December 19, the soloist will be Fritz | Kreisler, recognized universally as the greatest violinist of this time. The third concert, on March 12, will bring to Washington audiences Spain’s | great pianist and conductor, Jose | Iturbi. The program permits this fine artist an appearance in the role in which he is happiest—that of | officiating as soloist and conducting the orchestral accompaniment to his | concerto from the piano. Eugene Ormandy. conductor of the | Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, will conduct the concert on April 2, which brings the Washington season to its| conclusion. Singe his first visit to the Unlled‘ States in 1900, Kreisler has played | with the Philadelphia Orchestra as a soloist during 14 of the organization's concert seasons.

In Martini the screen has found & glamorous new figure, despite his as- | ing, rather than the screen type. All | commentators professed astonishment at the power and beauty of his voice | and the fidelity of its recording. | Martini has already returned to New | York to be present at the premiere | of his picture at the Radio City Music Hall early next month and after the ceremonies consequent upon that | opening he will resume his operatic | | and concert career.
