ESSENTIALS OF ARTISTIC
PLANO PLAYING

the piano should be cultivated equally,
and even in excess of their technical
ability II not the technic is of no
value.
How can il be cultivated? Why by
reading, observation, thinking and list
ening to the best singers, orchestras
and orators.
Reading Of history for information
as to events taking place during a
composers life; drama, comedy and
tragedy; and fiction of all kinds Tor
the stimulation of the various emo
tons Emotions, many of which may
never be experienced in person but can
be experienced in the cultivated mag
ination.
Observation Of everything every
where-for only by the observing Of
events and things of the present can
the imagination in the future see
events of the past.
Listening to orchestras, instrumental
and vocal soleists and orators for the
greatest effort of pianist should be
TO initiate the pure legato of the voice,
to procure the "singing tone so highly
desired by pianists and TO the effects
and timbre of the various instruments
of the orchestra, in addition TO having
command over the peculiar tonal cnar-
acteristics Of his own instrument; 20
orators, for from them We can learn
the value of dramatic expression.
A striking illustration as 70 the ne
cessity of Imagination in interpreta-
ton recently occurred A student was
studying Edward MacDowell's wood
land sketch, ITO a Water Lily" She
informed me that she was unable to
find any meaning in the music-that
il was pretty, but she simply did not
know what she was trying to say.
She had never picked or even seen
a water lily. She had seen pictures OF
them. This helped some-but the fol-
lowing imaginative sketch proved OF
great value to her.
told her to imagine herself in
boat in a land-locked cove OF pond
or lake. The surface Of the water is
covered with a slime, the bottom-a
black mud is covered with a rank I'M
derwater growth. Floating on the sur
face are the broad green pads OF the
lilies and among them the pure white
blossoms. All moving with the gentle
rocking motion of the water.
Surely MacDowell had scene Of this
nature in mind while writing the hrst
theme of the Sketch The first
thought on beholding the flowers is of
their beauty. Next the question arises,
as we paddle among them, picking
them with their long trailing stems
why should such beautiful flowers
grow in such surroundings: in the dead
black mud and the dirty, Shiny water!
Surely it is one of the mysteries and
beauties of nature.

ART OF INTERPRETING
MUSIC BY DANCING

let, increasing its vocabulary By ex.
eellent elements. Next Isidora Duncan
brought a more perfect sympathy with
the music, although with very limited
vocabulary, in consequence Of her not
having studied classic dancing; and
Dalcroze in his eurhythmics has pro.
NOTED the study of rhythm. Ny own
contributions have been TO preserve
beauty of dancing from being neglected
for musical Interpretation and 10 in
vent special exercises for learning such
dancing, and 20 spread the art ever this
eountrv through my normal school.
The art, thus brought 20 its present
condition, has in the last three years
become in private schools the most
popular of all the branches of artistic
dancing and continues 10 dominate the
others more and more. There are many
virtues that have caused this, although
they also largely inhere in the simpli-
fed classic or aesthetic dancing, and 10
q less degree in the racial and social
branches.
Interpretive dancing brings grace for
every action Of life, for it - the per-
feet artistic development Of the natural
actions and positions. In ones ball
room dancing this grace IS particularly
noticeable. Next, the interpretive art
gives poise, relaxation, and control, the
educational side Of gymnastics. Fur
Their, it gives abandon, suppleness and
strength, the bodybuilding side. Any
dancing is a perfect means OF physical
culture, strengthening the heart and
lungs by exercise not too vigorous, I'M
proving the circulation and digestion,
taking away weight where there IS
surplus and adding weight whore thin.
ness was caused by poor health, and
doing all this without fatigue, the yari-
Gus muscles being used in proportion
TO their strength, and with the accom-
paniment Of an ideal form OF enjoy
ment. the most enchanting recreation
known.
And interpretive dancing brings ex-
preston. Setting forth the meaning OF
the music. and the aspects OF nature or
the human feelings portrayed IN the
music and the dance, It offers activity
as welcome as il is beneficial, OF ex-
pressive gesture and dramatic SELF
effectuation.
The next few years are likely 70 see
rapid further progress OF interpretive
dancing. The Russian dancers and the
ballroom craze of yesterday nave
aroused the public's interest, the FORM
er in seeing the highest art and the
latter in dancing oneself. Interpretive
dancing offers 20 satisfy both cravings,
being at once d beautiful art and not
too difficult for the amateur 10
achieve. Great in the past and grow
ing each year. d grand future IS as.
sured TO this Joyous combination OF
music. dancing. exercise and drama.

classic ballet, which is making such
progress on the stage and among ANA

Yet it is not new art, but IKE
everything else has grown, evolved. IL
began in the days of the old Greeks,
whose Tyres and flutes were such poor
musical instruments that a song was
always necessary with the playing. SO
the dancer interpreted the song, with
the natural pantomimic poses, often
singing as he danced. The Romans
took up the art, till over the frontiers
