WAR TO BRING SIMPLER MUSIC

NEW YORK, Nov. 2. 1880 How close
a connection between world politics
and opera has always beea was en-
phasizcd when Giulio GATH Casazza,
director Of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, yentured 10 forecast the ef-
feet upon music in general and upon
opera in particular Of the conditions
which may be expected to ensue upon
the declaration Of peace.
at is not impossible that the forms
of government in Europe after the wal
viii be highly centralized" he said
"And that powerful autocracies will b.
in control. Such forms of government
are usually favorable to artistic ex-
preston, for art is n alternative to
political expression.
while there may not be a reaction,
exactly, from the complicated musi-
cal forms Of the futurists and the i'm
pressionists, it is my belief that the
people viii be tired after the war
that they will turn away from the
sophisticated in music and the elab-
crate and the studied, and will seek
for recreation and for the utmost
simplicity"
