Now and then q woman specializes on
some OF these instruments, but 1t is q
rarity. Yet q talent might be dis
covered for one Of these instruments
in a woman as fine as that needed
for the strings.
y r =
IF THE question Of what is to be-
come of the women students Of
stringed instruments alone Is consid-
cred, no alluring answer can be given.
The profession of teacher seems log
ical course to follow, but this, too, Is
not easy. The possibility of playing
in an orchestra would encourage study
and provide an objective for a mod
crate talent.
OF course, musical education in any
form is not only advisable but neces-
Sary, but the desire that urges a STU
dent toward the violin or the cello is
of particular character that seeks
for self-expression through the tone
medium of these instruments. It Is
discouraging to think that all the
study and time spent will bring little
OF the actual experience of interpret
ing the great masters for a public.
In these emancipated days it Is
foolish to believe that women should
not play in an orchestra, either with
the men or in an organization Of
their own. Most women players are
sensitive musicians and conscientious
students and are no strangers to hard
work. They have learned physical en-
durance and are accustomed to hail.
ding problems.
Miss Brico has been rated as one
of the IL most distinguished citizens
of California. and in 1888 was placed
in the group of American women
plishments. The women's clubs are
powerful factors in civic life today,
and even politics has not been able
to preserve its masculine exclusive
ness. Why should not women enter
more fully into the musical life of the
country, and share in any of its oc-
cupations? Miss Brico Is solving
portion Of the problem in forming her
orchestra entirely Of women.
TT WILL be good policy for music
schools to plan a more active
future for the girl students. European
countries have already done so, and
many orchestra chairs are now occu-
pied by women, and that not in second
rate orchestras, but in the ones that
add glamor to the nations music.
Well-trained students Of the other
sections besides the strings, would find
ample opportunity to play and, more
important still, to earn their living by
music.
The cost of a musical education is
too great, II carried out to any high
point, unless some return can be had.
The world is crowded with dilletante,
who retrograde because Of no incen-
tive to progress in their art. What
Miss Brico Is doing for her sisters Is
constructive, and the quality of her
own accomplishment a great inspira-
ton.
Evening star., 1935-01-20

MISS BRICO brings to the work she
N~ Is undertaking particular fit
ness, both as to personality and ex-
perience. From her childhood days,
when she was busy preparing to be-
come pianist, she dreamed Of being
an orchestra leader, calling un-
heard of for a woman, even at that
short distance back In years.
Her tenacity of purpose, which has
won the praise of all the European
masters, with whom she came in later
contact, as well as her clear-headed
planning for career, is not usual
adjunct of an American musician, and
the importance of such an approach
to the accomplishment of an ambition
is exemplified by what she has al
ready done.
Studying first with Steindorf in
California, after graduating from the
University, she later worked with
Sigismond Stojowski, who brought her
to DR.. Karl Muck. with whom she per-
fected her orchestral knowledge.
Highly Endorsed by this famous
German orchestra leader, her Euro
peon debut was made as conductor OF
the celebrated Berlin Philharmonic
Orchestra. Under DR.. Muck'S guild
ance, she took part in the Bayreuth
Festival of 1928, receiving the COM
mendation of Siegfried Wagner HIM
self. Several performances of DR..
Mucks orchestra in Hamburg were
intrusted to her direction. Tours as
guest conductor in Poland and Russia
preceded her return to America.
HER orchestral debut in this coun-
l. Il try took place in 1880 when she
directed both the Los Angeles and
San Francisco orchestras. In 1888,
she made her first appearance in New
York, with the Musicians Symphony
at the Metropolitan Opera House.
Whenever possible she has used
women in her orchestras, but this
gear she has made the first definite
attempt to form an orchestra exclu-
sively Of women.
1t must have occurred often to
people to wonder as to the good OF
women studying anything else but the
piano and singing. The profession Of
concertiZing vlolin1st or 'celllst Is
practically closed to any one not pos
sessing an outstanding talent, either
man or woman. No one can earn a
profitable living on these instruments
II he be but a good performer, but
the desire to be heard has caused
the pernicious habit of playing with
out recompense, which is seriously
undermining the standards Of art.
For the men, there Is most always
an opening to be found in an orches-
ira where regular salary repays, in
part, what was spent for musical
education. But it has not been the
custom in this country to employ
women in an orchestra.
The other sections of the orches-
ira have been completely monopolized
by men, as it was considered quite be-
yond the province of women to play
the horns, woodwinds or tympani.
