STRANSKY DECLARES
AMERICA LIKES MUSIC

"At this moment in America We are
all developing a vital musical inter
est Already we have a vast music
loving public whose taste is excel
lent" recently declared Josef Stran-
sky, conductor of the New York Phil
harmonic orchestra. which plays here
April 1 under auspices of the Won
ans club.
II say that continued the leader
Of Americas oldest orchestra, be
cause a contrary belief seems some
how to be prevalent. I am constantly
reading articles or hearing converse
tons in which long faces are pulled
on the subject of American indiffer-
ence to good music. There appears
to be an existing conviction that,
while Americans may have acquired
skill at building skyscrapers and pub
lie Libraries, while they may under
stand science and be experts in fl
nance. they have found no time as
yet to develop a vital interest in any
thing SO intangible as music. Curl
ously enough. it is from other Ameri-
cans that l have heard this sort OF
thing 1t is said by them as though
nation than their own. OF course, the
doubters of American culture appre-
ciate music themselves-and they are
Americans-but the rest-oh, no,
alas!
For nine years. now, l have had the
privilege of conducting the concerts of
Americas oldest orchestra, the Phil
harmonic society of New York. In
that time we Neve given concerts all
over the country, and before every
possible kind of audience. We have
played in the east, in the west, in the
south; before select gatherings of in
| tellectuals and for groups of laborers
organ by their own committees.
During the war we gave concerts at
two training camps (Dix and Upton)
for the drafted men, who had come.
as you know, from every section of
the country. and who represented ev-
cry conceivable graduation of our
graduation of our American feeling and
mentality. We have had, in short, an
ample opportunity to see American in
difference to music at first hand, if it
existed, and having had that opportun-
/ ity. we can truly say that America S
| musical indifference is mirage.
| Potentially, to borrow phrase from
| the national game, America is ready
to become a nation of music fans.
