the world.
tails of Europe. I am, OF course, talk
ing of America and Europe Of today.
I am not a historian, and I am not
brushing up or tickling old glories
TO be a little more personal: My
fundamental elementary studies in
music had in San Francisco, with an
American teacher Gouis Persinger)
While San Francisco is a city with
a soul and heart, and always aspires
to grow culturally as it aspires to
improve the material lot Of its citi-
zens, 1t is nevertheless far from be-
ing of the biggest cities Of America.
MY advance studies I had in
Europe, but I did not 60 to Europe
in order to be in Europe. My parents
searched for certain individuals who
happened to have lived at that time
in Europe. My parents would have
taken me to Mars If the man I needed
at that time would have happened to
live on Mars. We went to Paris in
1927 because my dear, noble, refined
and most sincere friend, Georges
Enesco, happened to have been in
Paris then. When he went back to
his native little Sinaia Rumania, we
went to live near him then. We went
to Gypsy Rumania to study Bach,
Beethoven, Mozart and Brahms. Later
on Enesco recommended that 60 for
several years to make a contact with
the German school OF music. Adolf
Busch, the best exponent Of the
German school, happened then to
live in quaint, little. old, clean. but
dull Basel, Switzerland, and there
we lived two years.
II owe my greatest debt of graft
tude to the great man and great
musician, Georges Enesco, who in
spired me with his serious, unqualified
philosophic and artistic attitude to
pure art. Were he living in my own
San Francisco, I would have never
cared to see our home moved about
the world, wandering about from city
to city, from country to country, in
search of the musician who could
help me with his advice and criticism
Now again I spend several months
each Spring and Summer with my
teacher and friend, Georges Enesco,
playing chamber music and playing
for him various old and new music
that I have not as yet had chance
to learn and assimilate. 1t is not the
European atmosphere. but the per-
sonal Enesco atmosphere that helps
me and always inspires me. The
Badeker is one thing for travel, sight
seeing, but quite another thing when
your soul Graves for spiritual and
artistic inner development. There the
individual alone as we'll as the con-
tact with other individuals that
count. The atmosphere of your own
soul, your own home, your own life's
philosophy outlook and ideals, only
count. And as far as the outside
atmosphere counts, in our youthful,
healthy, socially minded, peaceful
country, with people that is anxious
to learn, to improve the general
material and spiritual life Of every
body; in our country where there
still is to be found a spirit Of pioneer
ing, we have a healthier atmosphere
to develop our art, if We have the
talent.
Sincerely yours,
"YEHUDI MENUHIN."

You ask me to tell your many
readers something which will be Of
value and of help to others who are
striving to become good musicians +"
Now, if you will permit me, I shall
commence my remarks about that
very long way we Americans still
must go through" and perhaps thus
contribute some serious thoughts
which may actually help on musical
life in America through the power
ful printed word
my remarks and thoughts are not
theories, but observations, real ex-
periences and honest conclusions.
Il am always up in arms against
that American inferiority complex,
that self -effacement, self-belittlement
that we Americans manifest almost to
q pathological point whenever we speak
of European versus America! I am
talking of music appreciation and
musical art as they are today and for
the last 10 or II years, since I heard
the first strains of music in my life
City versus city, country versus
country, please let us dismiss the
myth that Europe today has more or
better music than we in America.
The difference, If any there is, lies
In the fact that we Americans are an
innocent, anxious to learn, travelling,
searching and studying, youthful,
pioneer people; the Europeans of to-
day on the other hand, live on past
glory. Let me hasten to be just and
fair lest I run away with my feelings.
There is that serious, intellectual, in
telligent, lovely musical public of
Amsterdam, Leipzig. Lege, Paris,
London, Milano. They are delightful
listeners and appreciators of good
music. They are human. grateful
and responsive. They have deep
seated need for culture music. But
how about our own Philadelphia, New
York Boston, Cincinnati, Washington,
New Orleans, Minneapolis, San Fran
cisco, with their lovely, ideal. fine,
intelligent audiences. Our colleges
and smaller town music concerts
series are as well attended, enjoyed,
applauded and appreciated as any
where on earth They have as much
of an esthetical and spiritual need

When it comes to performers Of
music, musicians, the American mu-

or his country. BY American, I Of
