of the Communist Party Of Cuba
unanimously adopted a resolution
of greetings to its brother Party
in the United States. Below we
print this resolution. In a forth
coming issue of the Daily Worker
we will publish detailed report
of this important convention.
To the Communist Party of the
United States:
The Second National Congress Of
the Communist Party of Cuba sends
its revolutionary greetings to its
brother Party, which in the very
stronghold of imperialism carries on
bitter struggle against our COM
mon oppressors. Our Congress Is
being held with the active parti-
cipation of delegate from our
brother Party, to point out impor-
tant tasks in the preparation for
the struggle for workers and pea
SAINTS power in Cuba.
1t has been with the close cooper
alton of the Party Of the United
States that our Party has carried on
daily struggle against opportun-
ism towards the end of following
the line of the Communist Inter
national.
The Letter Of August, 1881, and
the constant relations between both
Parties, which have been made even
closer by the Congresses held in
Cleveland and Havana respectively
have served as means for inter-
change of experiences which has
made it possible for us to strengthen
our line of revolutionary struggle.
The Communist Party of the
United States and the proletariat
of which it is the vanguard, the
American working class, have i'm
portant tasks in relation to the Gu
ban revolution. The oppressed
people of Cuba are preparing new
and greater struggles toward the es-
tablishment of workers and pea
SAINTS Soviet Power, but this Soviet
Power cannot be consolidated unless
it Is based upon the broadest masses
of the toiling population, and un-
less we can count on the help OF
all the enemies of Yankee imperial

pressed Negro people of the United
States and the oppressed peoples Of
South America and the Caribbean

Music for the Audience

of me as to what kind Of music
should be presented, I would say that
1t is up to the performer, and I will
go still further-it is his duty to in
troduce the new composers together
with those who are already known
and loved. After all, works of Bee
thoven, Wagner, Brahms and many
others had to be performed time and
time again in their early days before
the audiences really realized the
greatness Of these men, and some of
them did not achieve fame of any
sort until many years after their
death.
1 have also been asked about ths
music Of my native country, Hungary.
I have always found that some com-
posers in Hungary, some of them ex-
tremely talented, have dealt too much
with nationaliStic subjects. The heroes
of their operas, ballads, and even their
symphonic works are always taken
from the history of Hungary. Most
of these Hungarian heroes we're really
only known locally and therefore the
compositions could not achieve inter-
national fame. This is the case with
but very few exceptions. In my mod
est estimation there are only hand
full of really outstanding composers in
Hungary. Bartok (who. with Schoen-
berg and Stravinsky are, so to speak.
the fathers Of the present-day school,
Kodaly, Dohnanyi, Weiner and my
own master, Hubay, are the only really
great composers in Hungary today.
My experiences with audiences have
always been more or less the same.
The public wants stirring music. per-
formed with inspiration, with irnag.
nation and with as much technical
perfection as possible. 1t is very hard
to fool the audience, naive or sophisti-
Gated. The audience has an instinct
with which it takes to great music
and great performances, and reacts
accordingly when these two funda-
mentals are lacking.
May I repeat that the great and
inspired music performed by great
and inspired musicians will always
find its way to the musical public re-
gardless Of whether the composer is
modern, romantic or classicist.

BY EUGENE oRMANDY,

Conductor Of the Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra.
r HAVE often been asked (and I
know several Of my colleagues
| have, too) what type of music
I find carries the greatest ap-
peal to my audiences. This
question is not at all simple to an
swer since a conductor and his or
chestra play to so many different
audiences. Some audiences have very
few opportunities to hear an orches-
ira and have to be satisfied with one
or two symphony concerts a season.
Others, again, hear a great number
Of symphony concerts during the
season. Such audiences are more
distinct desire for performances OF
compositions which would be impos-
sible in the first mentioned case.
However, one thing is certain, and
that is that good music, inspired
music, has always been and will al
ways be wanted by all audiences.
To go into the question in detail, I
will say that I have found our audi
ences very appreciative of the classics
Haydn. Mozart and Beethoven.
Also of the romantic school-Brahms,
Cesar Franck and Tschaikowsky. and
still further of the more recent
schools-Debussy, Ravel. Moussorgsky
and others. Wagner, Of course, is In
class by himself. If we were to
go through this distinguished list we
would find that while all of these
composers represent different school,
still the music they have written was
inspired by the genius of each
individual.
1t is interesting to note that the
sophisticated public is demanding
works of the so-called ltra-modern
composers, some of whom will be
known today and forgotten tomorrow,
while Beethoven and Wagner will live
forever. This is by far no criticism
on my part Of the so-called ultra
modern composers. On the contrary,
I feel that they have to be and
should be made known to our public.
Therefore, when the question is asked
