SYMPHONY CONCERT BROADCASTI\G

When the practice of broadcast ing symphony orchestra concerts started fear was expressed that the inevitable result would be that the symphony orchestras would be com pelled 10 play the kind of music radio audiences like" Fortunately no such concession to the popular comple has emanated from the Boston Symphony. The director, NIT. Kousseyitsky, is going ahead with his programs just as if there were no microphone about the premises. He doesn't care what the radio audience likes; his main con- cern is 10 fulfill the functions of great musical organization, seeking to f)fill the artistic needs of the musically intelligent audience in Symphony hall. Those fastening in" at the firesides can turn the dial to some jazz for all Mir. Kousseyitsky cares.
 He is right. The announcer the other day seemed 10 be apologizing for the kind Of music being played. as if he feared in advance anything other than the Unfinished Sym phony of Schubert. or the Second Hungarian Rhapsody of Liszt, would be entirely beyond the great audi ehce spread over New England. Maybe he was right. Kousseyitsky doesn't think, however, that because there are radio fans listening in that the music should be radio stuff or screen music. He thinks the orches- tra exists to play Bartok, Ravel, Stravinsky Strauss, Debussy, and host of other modern bizarre music which often comes over the radio sounding like an s o S. call rom ship in distress; and the symphonies Of Brahms, of Tschai- koWsky, of Beethoven, which are entirely devoid of those tinkling airs

which people like to hear once and forget forever.
 If a symphony orchestra, merely because it Is broadcasting, is to play to the radio audience rather than to the audience which sees and hears the band in the auditorium there soon would be no audience at hand. An orchestra of this type is an educational factor more than an amusement enterprise. Nine-tenths of the radio fans are eager for amusement first and education afterwards, or not at all.
 If the symphony orchestras which are broadcasting were to think of pleasing" their radio audiences above everything else they would need to confine themselves to a very restricted repertoire of selec- tions; progress would be stultified; the orchestras would go back to what they were playing 40 years ago, during the experimental stage when nothing was played that the audi ences couldn't understand.
 It is impossible to please" a gen. eral radio audience and a sophisti- cated Symphony hall or Carnegie hall audience at the same time. If the musical philanthropists who are making it possible 10 broadcast sym phony orchestra programs wish to please all" the broadcastng pro- grams should be separate from the regular programs.
