DIsINTEREsTED IN ZEAL


Vogt's plan challenges the admiration
Of music lovers and commands the
respect of those who have the inter
ests OF public taste at heart. Person
ally, I feel sure that he is disinter-
ested in his zeal to provide some real
music for San Francisco.
There is no discounting the appeal
and il is rhythmically splendid and dy-
namical1y overwhelming. The man who
wouldn't beat time TO the swing of a
Sousa march could be no friend of
mine, but it is far from being the cul-
tured and noble instrument that the
orchestra is. A symphony orchestra in
city is evidence of the community IS
musical regeneracy; a band isn't. And
that's the difference.
"The money is in sight to make the
orchestra a permanent feature of San
Francisco's musical nfe," says Vogt. 'I
don't care who directs the orchestra
II another man comes along or can be
engaged who is more efficient than /
then I'll gladly lay down the baton and
bid him take il and keep the good work
I'D. Art is begging in San Francisco,
while ragtime thrives. Feed the people
ragtime and you cultivate a taste for It.
81 say, give them sugar coated pills
at first. Give them the radiant andante
from Beethovens immortal fifth SYM
phony; give them Ambrose Thomas
Mignon' overture. give them good mu-
sic: true music and worthy music, and
then surprise them by telling them
that they have been enjoying classic.
TASTE AND MORALS
Public taste and public morals are
closely associated Acquaintance with
the master minds in music, like fami-
liarity with the great prose writers and
the poets, Is ennobling and fine. We
need it here, and the public will surely
support any effort to give it artistic
relief from the tedium of popular STUFF
which is popular mainly because mu-
sicians lack courage and throw it to
the public to gain unmeaning ap-
pIause.
at do not f1atter myself that I can
convert the public. / believe that the
people do not need conversion. They
want what we propose giving them
good music I do not intend to play
strauss enigmatical compositions or
Claude Achille Debussys modern crea-
tions in tone; propose TO play tune
ful. well constructed and artistic music
which will be popular once that 1t is
heard"
Vogt intends, it would seem, to be a
sort of Salvation Army musician who
will commence at the bottom of the
classics and lead musical thought to
higher and rarefied planes. He should
succeed.

DisCOrd Over Concerts in the
Park Excites Interest of
Musicians
Symphony Orchestra Will Bat
tie With Brass Band
for Approval
By Walter Anthony

Theodor Vogt's plan to establish a
symphony orchestra at the park and
to produce the classics in tone instead
Of popular band music has excited con-
siderable comment In local musical
circles
Some there are who contend with
Charles Cassasa, the present leader
Of the band, that an orchestra in the
park is impracticable. because of the
fog which, rolling IN from the sea, will
Interfere, they say. with the strings of
the orchestra and play havoc with har-

Others declare that violin is scarce
iy more susceptible TO climatic condi-
tions that French horn and that an
out OF door orch estra is a feasible prop
os'tion in sunny California.
The park commissioners meanwhile
remain noncommittal. The members
OF that body want to give the people
what they want and will as readily de-
vote the funds at their disposal for an
orchestra as for a band If the former
proves the popular medium of music
for the masses.
Vogt has funds at hand to try the
experiment with an orchestra of so
picked orchestral players. Cassasa
meets the situation by augmenting his
band of 80 pieces to one of SO, and will
occupy the bandstand the Sunday fol-
lowing Vogt's trial-that is TO say,
January II.
