When decldlng whether person Is
talented musically, it is the capacity
of doing" which attracts attention and
becomes all sufficient for the dreaming
of great dreams and the planning of
a brilliant future. Too rarely are the
other qualifications of application
and industry" and particular mode
of intellect" even thought of while the
glamour Of the capacity Of doing"
holds sway. For the one who loves
music, delights in singing or is deft
at making music on some instrument,
the strength Of his personal pleasure
seems sufficient guarantee of an out
standing talent.
Yet the real power that will lead to
a career lies hidden, not in the innate
nlusicianship, but in the ability to
work with concentration as well as in
having the type of mind that quail
fies its posessor to do some things bet
ter than others"
AS Mr.. Hazlitt says, the power Of
concentration and work are voluntary
and are appendages of the particular
mode Of intellect" The story of prac-
tically every musician revered today
proves that dogged persistence, ability
personally to criticize his work, and
high intellectually. were the motors
that carried his talent to everlasting
fame.
THE fashioning of a musical career.
be it planned on large or small
scale, requires constant application
1t demands initial industry, and the
courage to begin over again, when
success is not Immediately forthcom-
ing. 1t requires an endleSSly minute
study of detail, a testing, time and
again. of both technical and inter-
pretative effects. 1t is this painstak-
ing revising that makes for perfect
workmanship. and if talent for per-
sistence is not in the musical make
up. then the talent for music will
never be one to reckon with.
To the same degree, If the heart
and mind do not desire and seek a
broad culture, both from the book
world and from the book of life, the
bloom Of a musical talent will dim
and eventually fade out. Originality
of idea, and the personality that
comes from association and assimila-
tion of the thoughts of great charac-
ters, colors and adds individuality to
a musical presentation
To be simply talented is not
enough The world is full of lazy,
self-satisfied people, who are highly
talented in the accepted interpreta-
ton Of the word Having a natural
technical facility for some instrument
or possessed of a splendid voice, they
dabble in music, encouraged by the
praise and admiration of friends and
family. Yet, when put to the test,
they rebel against practicing, are con-
temptuous of the serious side of study,
feeling that such things should not
be asked of one endowed with an
unusual gift.
X X
THIS is the attitude that is apt to
predominant today in our hectic
manner of living, yet what this country
stands most in need of is not more or
better talent, for we have plenty Of
that. but serious, studious musicians,
who are willing to listen to criticism
