If they can't be virtuosos, they will be teach
ers. If they can't be teachers, they will be
orchestral players. They will find some
useful way of serving their art, and in that
way find success.
aThat is the way they 60 about it in
Europe. The ambition for the virtuoso
career is as general there as here. But over
there the requisites for virtuosity are better
and more widely understood. Also the
money to finance the long period of prep
aration is not so easily acquired. Therefore,
when European family makes the sacri-
fees involved in cultivating child's must
cal talent, the young musician understands
that he is to make his living out of his pro-
fession If he fails to achieve the virtuoso
estate. he turns naturally to teaching or Or
chestral playing, makes good living, and
goes through life without any annoying
consciousness that he is a failure.
@Our main trouble is the failure to rec
ognize music as one of the learned profess
sions. We are more inclined to regard it as
an accomplishment. So it is until the child
aspires to it as professional pursuit. Then
it becomes a matter for far more serious
consideration with the parents than it the
child purposed preparing for career in law,

we need more practical and popular work.
During my recent transcontinental tour,
found everywhere girls and boys ambitious
to make music their lifework, parents willing
and anxious to make virtuosos out of their
children, and all of them with only the
vaguest notions of what the step involved;
l might also add, with an incorrect attitude
toward music as an art.
@Out of the thousands of American boys
and girls who have devoted years of study
to the violin, those who have reached the
virtuoso estate are very few. Yet one
Maud Powell in generation is enough to
make every girl who can tuck fiddle under
her chin dream of being great.
@Now right there is the root of the trouble.
The young musicians dream only of being
great Their parents sacrifice only that
their children may become great. If the
luckless youngsters do not become great in a
great hurry, they are reckoned great fail
ures. This is not love of art, but of the
trappings of art. The boy or girl who is
sincerely in love with the art of violin play
ing will stick to it through thick and thin.
