PLAYER-PIAN0S
AREPRAISED
Instruments Are Capable Of
Being Played Ar
tistically.

Praise for the play er-piano is
spoken in an editorial in the Music
Trade Review, which says that it has
for more than a decade past urged
in season and out of season that the
player piano is a true musical in
strument, that it is every mans
piano, that it can be played musical
ly well, and that its appeal is to the
individual sense of producing ones
own music in ones own way. The
writer continues:
But the sslesmen have seen that
the line of least resistance is tempt
ingly easy to follow. They have al
lowed the people to follow their own
sweet will and to buy in accordane
with their ignorance, rather than in
accord with the good of the indus
try. They have, encouraged the roll
men to concentrate on the lowest
that the people think only of the
tremely noisy dance music and as
quite incapable OF anything higher.
Jazz has it's place. Popular mu-
sic of all sorts has its place. The
people like it. But the people also
like other music. The public con-
certs, the community music work.
the music clubs, all over the land,
prove that much. OF course, as the
player-pianO is sedulously associated
with only jazz and the lowest forms
of popular music, why should the
people think OF it as capable of
ANYTHING elsPp"

PIANOS BELONG
T0B0LSHEVIKI
Instruments Registered and
Taken for the Peoples
Pleasure.

The situation with regard to
pianos in Bolshevik Russia is de-
scribed in an enlightening article in
the French paper Musique ct Instru-
ments which reaches this country
in the form of a translation in the
che, written by NJ. l.. Abbiatt at one
time professor of violinoelIo at the
Imperial Conservatoire in Petrograd
and just returned to France, consti-
tutes one of the rare authentic re-
ports on matters musical in the
dark and distraught land.
"All the pianos in the town are
registered" writes NJ. Abbiatt. They
are public property. Naturally the
piano is the instrument mostly in
use, for the innumerable wOrkmen's S
clubs, barracks, schools, etc, must
be provided with them. Nobody has
the right to sell them or to move
them. at least not without special
permission from the commisssry.
Pianos necessary to the needs of the
people are requisitioned, for with
the naturalization of the factories
and warehouses new supplies are no
longer available. In addition, all
pianos left in homes abandoned by
their owners are seized, and the
number is considerable. However,
know of no case where the piano
of a private person has been taken.
1t goes without saying that no re-
pairing or tuning is done, and con-
sequently all pianos are in a de-
plorable condition"
In the matter of stringed instru-
ments, according to this observer,
the situation is even worse. Lack
of repairs is fatal to such instru-
ments, yet luthiers who remain at
work make such eXorbitant charges
that people find it better to discard
their broken violins and guitars, in
the expectation of buying better
ones from those formerly rich but
now compelled to sell at starvation
prices.

proXimately $4,000. which will be
used to improve the character OF

SCHOOL MUSIC
HELPS PUPILS
1t Sweetens Character and
Aids Truth Telling and
Kindness.

One school of pedagogy contends
the claim Of music to right Of way
in school course grows out of the
social values of music. Does a
pupils participation in, or listening
to, good music make him more
truthful. kinder more honest? Does
it tend to make him a better citi-
zen? Another school Of pedagogy
contends that this right grows out
OF the esthetic enjoyment the pupil
derives.
This is the crux of the conten-
tiOn. DO we participate in the en-
jOyment OF good music for its i'm
mediate emotional values. or for it's
deferred moral and social values?
The answer lies not only in the
esthetic content OF music. but in
subjecting all other common emo
tional reactions to the social test,
I is the opinion of the Record Re
view, published by the educational
department Of the Columbia GRAPHIC
phone Company Does a mother
love her child because she contem-
plates his future civic usefulness or
because her heart is full? Is that
man truly religious Who attends
church because of his fear of hell
| or hope of Heaven. or because he
enjoys being religious now? Is a
man really honest because he be-
licves it to be good policy, or be-
cause he derives immediate salts
