The artists Of the past season en-
phaSize the new horizons that have
opened out to the musical progress
that began when at the end of the
war, the artistic pursuits were forced
to seek another life. The rejection
of all that was artificial and the de-
mand for truth in art as in every
walk in life. are responsible for the
new order of artists and a new art.
Personality counts more than ever,
but finer personality, that of the
mind and heart. To be an artist to-
day is more difficult accomplish
ment than in the years when me-
chanical perfection was the chief de.
mand, and the standard has been set
by the artists themselves. 1t is,
therefore, of paramount Importance
that the public look at music from
the same new angle and draw the
advantages therefrom which will re-
dound to the general good.
In glancing back at the divers view
points that have been presented in
each department of music this Winter,
one can find a unity Of idea domi-
mating the whole. The desire to con-
vey a message of lasting character.
TO establish superior plane OF
thought and to release nobility of SEN
timent has marked the interpreta-
tionS of each of the artists We have
been privileged to hear this year
The degree and extent of their power
to influence the public in this regard
varied according to their natural en-
doWmentS, but the intention was
sufficiently present to permit of this
general summary. The modern ten
dency toward musical mathematics
has but strengthened the sincere
artist in his conviction that the half
of the emotional content of the old
masters has not been unearthed and
that the way of discovery lies along
the path of deeper self-cultivation
The eminent examples of this new
kind of personality can be found in
such artists as Iturbi. GieSeking, Ga
brilowitch, Menuhin, Spalding and the
new Heifetz, in Lottie Lehman, Jer-
itza and Rosa Ponselle and the Or
CheStral conductors, Stokowsky, Kous-
sevitSky and Kinder. Through their
art they are bringing out the different
facets of the jewel of music, and it
remains for those who form their
public to turn the jewel so that its
full beauty is ever before them AL
though Of priceless value, music
should not be regarded as a luxury,
but as an essential need OF life. as
necessary to our healthful living as
the more material elements. There
must be no Schism between music and
the daily existence, and it devolveS on
the public to see that the union of the
two is kept intact.
One OF the surest ways to accom-
pliSh this is for the auditors to estab-
lish standard based on the best
that the great artists can offer. Ern-
est Block has said that "our concerts
have been dead museums" because
the public is not exacting in its de-
mand for the finest type of music.
The sensational, the ordinary. the
sentimental and the pleasing in music
has the widest appeal, and unless the
audience profits by the work of
thoughtful, sincere artists, and is dis

an art cannot grow and the subse-

cannot be brought about. Inertia in
the public will nullify the good to be
had from the broad vision of Sto-
kowski, Menuhin or Iturbi, the warm
depths of sentiment of Lehman or
Ponselle. or the delicate beauty of
Gieseking and Spalding.
So at the end of the musical sea-
son its results must not be summed
up in commercial terms, but in the
intangible reckoning that deals with
the things Of the spirit. The moments
of enthusiasm. of real feeling. of
happiness and of eXaltation and their
after effects OF courageous handling
OF daily problems, and of finer ap-
probation of the simple beauties
about us. must be counted as the
greater gain. If these results cannot

and intimate communion with the

self comparable to them, then has the
aim of music been degraded to the
level OF a simple amusement and the
incentive to high standard of musi-
cal development destroyed. Through
the benefits that the public acquires
and its continuous desire to advance
further in musical education lies the
inspiration of the concert givers.
THE first announcements of Music
week have been given out by Ger
trude Lyons and the various musical
organizations asked to signify their
intentions of taking part. The date
set is May to II, and the principal
objective OF musical consideration will
be "a more fruitful use of leisure
through music" A special study will
be made of American music from the
earliest times and of the American
composers up to the present day. 1t
is planned that the celebration to be
given by each group will take place
In their respective community and
under the auspices of the people di-
rectly connected with the group ac-
tlvities. This will be the eleventh
celebration of Music week.
1t is to be hoped the interest in
this celebration will be widespread
and that the various organizations
will enter into the plans with eager
ness. Under the devised system of
arranging the program to take place
in the community directly interested,
the benefits of Music week will come
within the reach of all 1t is an in
spring way of thinking and planning
for the musical growth of the city
and reaches to the very source of our
national musical life. The concentra-
tion on music and the community of
ideas to be developed through the con-
sloeration which the observation of
Music week brings, will direct the de-
velopment Of music into the right
channels, and it is to be desired that
all Of the 1900 communities will do
their bit during this week set aside
for musical planning. All those who
wish to participate are asked to COM
municate with Mrs. Gertrude Lyons,
at the Marlborough, for any informa-
tion desired.

This calls, for immediate action on
