Orchestra Conductors Must Soon Be Engineers,
Says the Famed Leader of the PhiIa-
delphia Symphony, Who Has Labored
Months Designing a Ne7O Control to Per-
feet Radio B,oadcasting and Get the True
Sound q Every instrument.

"The thing that impressed me first of all was
the sort Of handicap with which a conductor
had to cope. The conductor conducted his
musicians, but the control engineer directed the
machinery. 1t seemed to me, right then and
there, that there should be closer relationship
between the conductor and the machinery
After ALL it is the business of the musical
director to get the best possible result from his
medium.
"In my first Investigations I found that
nothing had yet been worked out Radio was
after all, still in its infancy. But it was too
important factor in future history to be dis
missed lightly. I intend-or hope-to have
some small part in this future Anyway, it's
too late now, because I'm a victim of fasci-
nation.
"At any rate, what I've been trying to &C
complish with the engineers is simply method
OF orchestral broadcasting which will allow the
director to direct the control
But that still will not allow the full volume
of tone which the radio must sometimes have.
And this volume is greater than that possible
in a mere auditorium The next step seems to
be the elimination of the present control. After
ALL your Carnegie Halls are inclosed in four
walls They have their limitations. But once
it becomes possible to have a direct broadcast
minus the control, then your possibilities are
Hmitless
Then you are able to expand your volume

breeches viii rise to write this new music"

He aims to perfect the broadcasting of SYM

is only toddling step in a new direction.
He is filled with dreams of things awaiting
TO be done; new feats of scientific magic which

To these ends Stokowski labors day after
day in sort of Utopian fever mingling his
art as great conductor with researches that
promise to open the door to a strange new
world Of sound.
And right here two points must be stressed:
First This is not the mere conception of
an artistic and elastic imagination. DR.. Sto-
kowski is not playing with dream dust in some
attic laboratory. For more than year he has
been associated with o. B. Hanson, engineering
head of the National Broadcasting Co.'S great
laboratory. Also he has been working with the
General Electric's scientific staff.
Second: This does not mean the end of the
orchestra, as now organized and operated.
