Music Association to Meet
In St. Louis November 90

DLANS for the meeting Of the Music
Teachers National Association at
st. Louis on November 30 to 80 are
rapidly being completed by Howard
Hanson. president OF the association,
and the Executive Committee.
The program for the st. Louis meet
ing has been prepared with this con-
sideration in mind. The first session
devoted to a discussion Of Music in
Higher Education" will have to do not
only with professional education in mu-
sic, but also with the status Of music
ia the liberal arts college, and will be
presided over by the president of the
National Association Of Schools of Mu-
sic and the chairman of the M. T. N. A.
Committee on Colleges and Universe
ties. In the same way, the second ses-
sion will have to do, not with public
school music itself--a field which Is
exhaustively covered by the supervisors
national conference. Thus the NJ. T
". A. will serve as most valuable
meeting ground for men in all branches
of the music profession
Each session will be devoted to dis
cussion Of one general problem, sub
divided into four or fve sections. In
this way a concentrated discussion Of
an important general topic in several OF
its phases will be assured, paving the
way for stimulating general discus
sion at the end of each meeting.

these shores.
The program will include the
Mozart &C Major Quartet"
Frank Bridges Trio for Piano,
Violin and Violoncello," and the
DebuSsey Quartet"
Harriet Cohen, the assisting
artist, has not been heard in this
country before. She has, however,
been a favorite on the continent
for some time, according to Berlin
and Spanish critics. In Chicago,
recently she seems to have distin-
guished herself, as also with the
BroSa Quartet at the first concert
of the New York Beethoven Soci-
ETY. given last Monday. Miss
Cohen, incidentally, is to give a
recital of her own at Town Hall
some time in November
1t is hard, with so little material
at hand, to introduce Miss Cohen
in proper fashion. A small
pamphlet is here, however, which
tells about her, and for want of
flrst-hand knowledge perhaps she
may be summarized according to
its own methods:
Miss Cohen is visiting America
at the invitation of Mrs. e. s..
Coolidge to participate in the
chamber Of music festival to be
held in Chicago and at the
Library Of Congress during Octo-
Der. A particular sensitiveness to
ensemble forms single her from
among several European pianiSts
whom this country is destined to
know sooner or later, and it is
significant that the Boston SYM
phony Orchestra has promptly ar
ranged for her appearance in
December. Over a period of sew
eral years her name has fire.
quently been mentioned here, so
she comes as no stranger to
unsteady informed circles, and
our interest in her has been
singulariy piqued by the fact that
most of Arnold BaX'S piano works
are dedicated to her. To many
it has seemed a paradox that this
striking English girl. so distin-
guished as an exponent of Bach,
should with such ease reach the
musical extremes and be equally
arresting in the modern idioms of
Anglo-SaXon, French, Spanish
and Italian compositions"
She appears to be known every
where and to know everybody.
One finds her in the company of
Bernard Shaw and Arnold Ben
nett as well as among the mu-
sicians and the painters. She has
played with most of the important
orchestraS of Europe.
All of which makes Thursdays
concert something of a real event.

the National Theater during the war
period.
1t seems that Grace Moore about 1917
was entered as student in the musical
school which Mrs. Wilson Greene and
her husband, the late Thomas Evans
Greene, then conducted on upper Con-
necticut avenue. Mr. Greene, deeply
impressed by the qualities of voice re-
vealed by this schoolgirl from Ten
nessee, undertook the cultivation of q
voice which he recognized as most
unusual
Shortly afterward Martineli heard
Miss Moore sing, and seemed so inter-
eSted that when Mrs. Wilson, Greene
asked his permission to present Grace
Moore as an assisting artist on his pro-
gram at the National Theater he con-
scented at once.
The rest, of course is musical his
tory. Grace Moore. then a somewhat
frightened schoolgirl. but nevertheless
possessed of much of the remarkable
poise and showing promise of great
vocal powers, quite charmed the audi

that before them stood future star Of

than Is years would be a musical house.

Maier and Pattison Are
Making Farewell Tour

WHEN Guy Maier and Lee Pattison
w. prominent two-piano soloists Of the
American concert field, appear at Con-
stitution Hall on Saturday evening
November 8, Washington concert audi
ences will be seeing and hearing this
famous piano ensemble for the last
time, as this season marks the farewell
tour of these noted artists.
In announcing their farewell MaieY
and Pattison explain that they feel they
have reached the climax Of their ca
reers in this particular field of music
The repertoire of two-pianp music, they
point out, is not sufficiently abundant
to remain fresh after IL years Of con-
cert use, and both wish their concert
audiences to remember them at the
highest stage OF their musical develop
ment.
Although Maier and PattiSon expect
to dissolve their long association, they
will not disappear from the American
music field, for Mr.. Pattison proposes
to devote most of his time to compo-
Sition, while Maier will continue TO
develop his ideas for children's and
young peoples concerts.
Their farewell tour will easily be the
most extensive of their careers. Begin
ming in Chicago on October H. Maier
and PattiSon will give recitals in not
less than SO cities before they close
their tour in the Spring, including a
concentrated tour of the Pacific Coast.
Two New York appearances will be
made this season, on November and
February 81.

Grace Moore Appeared in
First Concert at National

WHEN washington was selected as
the city to witness the premiere
showing Of Grace Moore,s first motion
picture production, "a Lady's Morals"
which became current in the Capital q
week ago, circumstances were once
again deepening the affinity that seems
TO exist between this city and the pro-
fessional career Of one of the Metro
politan Opera Co.'S opera stars.
For, strange as 1t may seem, Wash
ington not only witnessed the premiere
OF Miss Moores FIRST picture produc-
ton, but this city also saw her begin
the course Of musical study that led
later on to the Metropolitan. And
what is perhaps stranger still, Wash
ington was the scene Of Miss Moore's
first concert appearance, despite the
fact that many music lovers here be-
lieve that the coming appearance of
Grace Moore in concert this Winter will
mark her concert debut in the Capital.

In musical art Is the feverish
~ search for originality Did
originality ever blossom from o

pose one pauses for . moment to con-
slider Beethoven and his ways. He GER
call an original composer. The germinal
theme of the first movement of the
fifth symphony Is about as bald and
commonplace as q musical motive can
be. But see what the man did with
it. The building up of that first move
ment is one Of the most significant
pieces of musical logic in existence.
The result is irrefragable masterwork
OF tonal architecture.
Perhaps II aspiring young musicians
OF today would give more time and
deeper study to the art Of developing
simple thematic germs we should have
more good, and less eccentric music.
Perhaps. too, II these same young mu-

trying to discover what magic fluid
