Symphony Wins
PIaudits Of
Children

The National Symphony Or
chestra of Washington is just like
q pimple on your daddy's nose.
Not actually, of course, but the
analogy was used yesterday by
Hans Kinder, conductor, as a
means of endearing the local
orchestra to the hearts Of 1900
persons attending its first chill
dren's concert at Central High
School.
In a brief address to the au-
dience. which included as many
grown-ups as children, klndleE
explained the similarity.
The National Symphony Or
chestra belongs to the children
of washington just as ones
daddy does, the conductor elucl-
dated, and with its flaws. 1t
should be loved as one loves
ones daddy, even when he has
o pimple on his nose.
Although he professed not to
diminish the value of music as
IT, comes through the '1er on
the radio, Mr.. Kinder referred
to the canned music" as the
"scurvy of indifference.
Hits Canned Music"
This analogy he explained in
terms of canned egeta bleS,
which, when eaten in great guam
titles, cause the disease known
as scurvy. Too much canned
music creates an indifference to
the real thing, he said.
Music is one of the most mar
velous things in the world, the
conductor said fervently to his
audience, and the orchestra is
the greatest instrument in the
realm Of music.
Explaining beforehand the
Significance of each selection and
the temperament of each COM
poser, Kinder conducted his or
Chestra in four selections repre-
senting three nations in various
periods of music development.
The first selection was the over
ture from Der Freischutz," the
fantastic composition Of Weber,
who wrote in the early nineteenth
century.
That Bach was divinely in
Spired with each successive COM
position and that he was the
father of all Occidental music
