These two events are typical Of the
spirit of progress and organization
which are animating both students
and teachers of the piano More than
any other division of music study,
they are thinking out ways and means
of helping each other and those who
will follow after them. The friendly
competition and the establishing OF
a standard put stimulation into the
work and clarity the end for which
each pupil is striving. This same thing
could be done in all branches of music
and would have as result the saving of
much valuable time and money be-
sides minimizing the amount of dis
appointment and heartaches incor-
rect and careless teaching has been
responsible for.
1t is particularly fitting that these
piano events should begin on the an
niversary of the birthday of Brahms
who, together with his coterie of dis
tinguished friends, the Schumanns,
Mendelssohn and others, represented
a new order of things pianistically. 1t
was glorious era for the piano as
represented by such artists, and the
beauty of their playing has served as
impetus both as to execution and
wider essays in interpretive music.
With the magnificent brilliancy of
Llszt still thrilling an astonished
world, the exquisite delicacy of Chopin
undimmed in the memory of those
privileged to hear him, and the NOV
ing nobleness of Beethoven still talked
about, these friends left an indelible
mark of their artistry on the musical
chronicles that can in future be sur
passed with difficulty.
There have been many attempts to
describe the playing of each of these
artists by those who heard them. The
delicate touch of Chopin, the quiet
brilliancy of Liszt, the clairvoyant in
sight into the composers meaning
that Nine. Schumann possessed, the
spirituality of MendelSsohn and the
grandeur Of conception which in spite
OF inaccuracies of execution was
Brahms special gift have been re-
membered as the impressive charac-
teristics of these great pianists. And
above all this specialization, the lofti-
ness of soul which the listeners found
Al CdSll VI IlicoC dI LlSUS Is Tie IllOSl
valuable comment that has been left
to posterity.
From the mechanical side, there
was great individuality of method by
which they achieved their effects.
Chopin not only revived obsolete forms
of lingering with good effect, but in
vented new ways of gaining the color
full variety that gave such charm to
his playing. Clara Schumann, who
followed the precepts of her father
that THE touch should never be
audible but only the musical sound, -
developed her own method of press
ing the keys, rather than striking
them, which gave peculiarly beauti-
full quality to her tone. Her husband
described the playing of Brahms as
turning the piano into a full Or
chestra," and much of this was due
to the extreme flexibility and inde-
pendence of his fingers, which was
Brahms great study.

Mendelssohn evolved theory of his
own as to the manner of playing
chords with great freedom of the wrist
that permitted of control and delicacy
at the same time Ferdinand Hitler
said Of him that playing was to him
what flying is to bird" so spontane-
GUS and uplifted was his interpreta-
tions. In spite of the fact that he
believed in strictness of tempo, al
most without variation, which might
limit his scope in Interpretation. the
spiritual side of his genius captured
the hearer from the first note
A description of Liszt's playing by
Wagner contains so completely the
essence of fine piano playing that it
deserves to be given. Wagner wrote:
He who had frequent opportunities of
hearing Liszt play-for instance, Bee
thoven-must have understood that
this was not mere reproduction but
real production. The actual point
of division between these two things
is not so easily determined as most
people believe, but so much I have
ascertained beyond doubt that, in
OIOCl W oCCGllONc1 OIlC
must be able to produce with him"
This, then, is the secret of artistry. not
to reproduce" but to produce with"
the composer, to feel with him and
be completely one in outlook.
In studying the Interpretation of
the different masters. no better guide
could be found than the thorough
study of their life and character
Reading the biographies. the letters
and memoirs that have been assem-
bled can give a clear picture of the
composer and his manner Of think
ing. 1t should not be difficult, pro-
vided the feeling is strong enough. to
find again the romantic and poetic
mentality of Chopin: the great-heart-
ed. generous understanding of LisZt;
the sturdy. unspoiled vision of Brahms,
or the refined and elevated turn of
mind of Mendelssohn.
The modern school Of piano playing
is seeking to broaden the possibilities
of the instrument still more and val
liable difference of technical develop
ment are coming to light. The lead
ing artists of today. on that instru-
ment, have already demonstrated what
can be accomplished with touch, ped
aling, analytical study of another
kind. and the piano as a medium for
artistic work is claiming anew the
attention of its students, aided by the
well-planned ideas of such organiza-
tions as are to be represented here
this week.
THE references made in this column
a week ago relating to the fine
work of the Junior Federation of Mu-
sic Clubs, under the leadership of
Gertrude Lyons, was never intended
to minimize in any degree the valu-
able activities of her predecessors or
assistants in the federation work Ref
erence was made to the work of the
federation under the presidency of
Mrs. Lyons, but not with the thought
that such reference would indicate in
adequate appraisal Of the unselflsh ef
forts Of all officers and members of
the federation.
