Musical

In pursuance Of the theme OF last Sundays
discussion in this column as to midsummer
thoughts for music students. II has occurred
to me that a short tall on "detsiI' might
not be amiss.
How often does one think hat the daily
study OF the technical part Of ones educa-
ton can be sighted. One is inclined to
think that the attention to breathing detail.
in singing. or the various little things which
cooperate In the production Of good tone, is
a thing which must possibly be constant.
during the hrst few weeks Of study, and can
then be abandoned. The same, in connec-
ton with instrumental work. The slow,
steady development of the technique may
perchance be a necessity at the beginning,
but after a while it can be dispensed with.
And the result Is always deplorable in both
cases.
II you, as a singer, were to give a few
minutes daily 70 the careful. thoughtful.
mental EFFORT TO realize Just what you are
trying to do, in your breathing, and II you
should give the same time to a realization OF
what relax" means to you personally. your
voice would be much more amenable TO con-
troll, your easy compass would be greatly
increased and the hardness in your tone
would be eliminated In favor OF a velvety
smoothness.
While on this subject let me suggest tina
the most insidious, most subtle foe to easy
singing is unconscious breath pressure.
Watch for 1t and exterminate II; you car
get rid OF It II you will carefully think II
over, with concentrated mental energy.
As to Instrumentation. the same negli-

study. Time. without thought, Is wasted.
The absorbing of a principle requires
thought. not time-measurement.
BY eternal practice one may perhaps
stumble upon the idea to be grasped. Blu

But" says the one-wbo- collects, what
is the use Of all this thought on the early
lessons? Are we always to be hampered
by having to see that we sit right, stand
properly, breathe 80, do such a thing with
the lngers?"
The answer is, yes, II you call that ham,
pering. But why dress your hair? All, the
result repays you, does It? And yet, you
expect results In the lofty mission which
you have assumed as a disciple Of the great
art of music, without daily attention to the
gear"
While we are at 1t, we might as we'll
carry the discussion further. l have mem
toned the necessity Of the first thought"
period daily, In addition to the other work.
Just as is in the illustration used, the hair,
dressing is done in private. and is done
whether one is going to a swell function,
OF the ordinary household meal. So should
1t be with study. One should not expect
to get results by polishing up the work Just
before a concert.

still another thought and then will leave
the subject for you to continue.
What would you think Of a young woman
who comes to your reception, dinner or
theater party with hair unkempt, uncombed
or unbrushed, or the young man who came
unshaven or with his hair in ends and
knots7
Yet, hguratively speaking, we see singers
and players do that very thing. sometimes,
l regret to say, we see It literslly.)
For instance, 1t is disgusting to any
singer Of taste nowadays to see a so-called
artist display the whole physiological pro-
cess Of breathing.
1t is no less offensive TO see a pianist
turn himself or herself into an acrobat.

cess Of breathing.
1t is no less offensive to see a pianist
turn himself or herself into an acrobat.
I II a pianist is obliged to do stunts"
with the body when he or she plays, then
1T is time to provide a trapeze for the or
Yganist, because he has two or three key
boards, a pedal-board Of about thirty keys,
a heavy swell-treadle, three or four rows
Of stop-handles on his right and left and
a number OF composition pedals" for
bringing together certain combinations of
stops. Yet 1 am confident In my assertion
that the average professional organist
makes far less unnecessary body motion
than the average professional pianist.
I hope to see the day when singing and
playing of the type mentioned is charac-
teriEed by the critics as vulgar" for that
is the only epithet At and suited thereto.

interesting to the public. 1t opens with
an effective bit Of 'slumber music" sug-
gested by the "shimmerlng" Of the vio-
Inns over a horn and a cello solo. There
is gypsy dance music which is thoroughly
faithful in It's portraiture, and a either
solo in "amaroso'' style. In addition to
these there are birds, chimes, ETC., adding
much pleasing variety. The composition

took first place in fashionable interest last
week and the Monday game saw the larg-

assembled for some time. 1t has been
