WnOm the desire TO picture MOOD ana
color was overwhelmingly strong. He
reveled In subjects that awaken the
imagination, and his keen sense caught
the essence of drama and emotion in
even the shortest work. His constant
striving was to make harmony repre-
sent something visible and emotional,
and so sure was his knowledge Of
exact variations in tonal color that he
could use them with the skill of an
artist of the brush. His perception of
what could be done with varied
rhythm was equally certain, and since
his mind carried the photograph of
movement he was able to reproduce it
so clearly that no notification of what
was to be represented was necessary.
The manner in which Bach chose
his texts for the cantatas or motets
required in the church services is
proof enough of the Importance he
placed on the emotional in music. Be-
fore his advent in Leipzig, the subject
matter was chosen at will. Bach felt
the need of making the musical part
of the services fit in with the whole
of the divine worship. and accordingly
made it practice to know the texts
of the sermons to be preached In the
four churches under his supervision
and to write his cantatas on the same
or corresponding texts. In this way
he unified and intensified the religious
import of the entire service. His
orchestral introductions were written
with the same care for atmosphere
and led the listeners gradually for
ward to more complete appreciation
of the beautiful words he had chosen.
The same amount of emotional color
is to be found in his instrumental
compositions If the interpreter but
seek it out. 1t is perhaps because Of
his expansive technical writing, the
difficulties of merely mechanical per-
Torrance that confront the artist or
student. that few see beyond the bar
rier of the technical form. Bach was
in advance Of his time in the under
standing of the possibilities of the
fingers and wrote equally complex ma
terial for the left hand as well as the
right. He rejected the established
manner of permitting the artist him
self to embellish the music according
to his fancy and wrote out in full
what formerly had only been indi-
Gated. Yet his compositions today re-
main the supreme test of a pianists
mechanical equipment.
No one to compare to Bach was
known before him, and, taken from
every angle. no one has equalled him
since. A number or two of his on
concert programs and a short festival
once a year is all that the public in
this country has of knowing Bach I'M
less studiously inclined. A season of
his music by the best artists who
understand the two extremes of his
greatness would reveal new wonders in

posers Of today.

The curious part OF BacnS music
Is the inexhaustible quality of its
emotional content and the infinite
variety of technical study which it
provides. The deeper the study Of
Bach the greater the surprise at the
revelations that come to the serious
musicians of the grandeur of con-
ception and, at the same time, the
simple humanity of the composer.
More and more it is becoming evident
that Bach, appreciated only to GER
tain degree during his lifetime, has
written for future ages, our present
moment, but the beginning of great
understanding Every musical out
look finds satisfaction in Bach, for
this studious composer, content with
a narrow life in small German cities,
has nevertheless envisioned all hui
mainly and with an unerring instinct
for what that humanity was most
in need of. In his religious works,
he has provided for all time the only
solace that can bring benefit to every
heart, avoiding the sorrowful or dread
inspiring angle and streSSing the
beautiful, the good and the attainable.
Yet Bach was not entirely occupied
with religious motives in spite of the
almost complete absorption in music
of the church which his position pre-
scribed. His numerous dances and
humorous cantatas show him the
same genial everyday man who well
coined all corners to his home with
open hospitality and took part in the
nonsense of the family gatherings
in whole hearted fashion His warm
championship of talent, his fatherly
interest in his pupils and his noble
sense of justice that made him speak
in praise of his enemies were the
present principles of his daily
life that overfowed into his music
with rich benevolence.
1t is a rather strange fact that the
reason that many looked askance at
Bach in his lifetime is the exact OPP
posite of the one that has held many
musicians aloof from complete I'M
Outstanding of him today. When he
was writing his magnificent choraleS
for his church choirs the complaint
against him was that he was too the
atrical, too operate and dramatic for
the unaccustomed ears of his public.
With the years the impression has
grown that Bach is cold and mathe-
NAUTICAL, having worked out his con-
trapuntal ideas from a purely mental
standpoint and therefore holding lit
tie of interest for an artist of tenn
permanent. 1t is only in recent times,
and that amongst but few. that the
emotional side of Bach has become
apparent, allied in most unique and
perfect fashion to rare technical
proficiency that has held the reverent
admiration of all his great successors.
Bach has always been considered as
the supreme type of an absolute musi-
clan. 1t is now being proven that he
was In fact a painter in tones in
