Home has that strong magic for all
of us Menuhins; it is the center and
meaning of our life"
When Yehudi deturns to the concert
stage in 1887 he will have entirely
gained mans stature and his keen
intellectually will have grown in ap-
probation of the ingredients of life.
The public can look forward with
interest to what he will say then with
his music, for already he has thought
much and deeply. In response to a
question, he answers: You ask me
what music means to me and I can
not tell you any more than I can tell
you what bread and butter mean to
me and family life and friendship.
There are emotions in us that music
interprets, expresses; there are long
ings which it satisfies. But they are
too big to put into words. Give me
the violin and I will tell you.
IT do feel that music expresses life
in all its keys And that is why I
cannot say that music is always COR
merely a consolation. 1t is surely
bigger than that. But perhaps it is
true that all fine music gives satisfac-
ton. And it helps us to understand.
though what we have learned cannot
be put into words
After my last concert in Amster-
dam I met Bruno Walter He is one
of those who are good enough to
criticize my work and I value it very
much. He said: Yes, there was very
much that l felt That made me
happy and I thanked him. Once or
twice he went on, it was like an
improvisation And that was marvel
Gus praise. Is not this what We mu-
sicians live for-that We should feel
and the public should feel that what
we are playing is not thing learned,
a library piece, but new song now
being made-the composer expert
ment with the careless rapture of God
on His first day?"
Although the Washington audiences
have been denied the pleasure of
hearing Yehudi and Hephzibah in
the program given in Paris, London
and New York and will shortly, like
the rest of the musical world, be de-
prived of YehudiS recitals as we'll, the
sympathy of every one must applaud
this desire for rest and refreshment
which the family are seeking During
that years retirement the greatest
progress can be made toward greater
heights and Yehudi is not the one to
let the time pass without profit for his
beloved music. New thoughts, new
perspectives, new depths will result
to him and We shall share in the ac-
cumulated KNOWLEDGE

Suite from lie Roi s'Amuse". .Delibes
THIS suite consists of a series of
dances and tunes in medieval
style-a galliarde, a pavane, a les
quercarde, madrigal and a pasSepied
(thls latter one well known in tran
scrlptlons for different inStruments);
a return to the beginning movement
acts as finale for this charming suite,
which was composed as incidental
music for Victor Hugo's drama of the
same name. The same text was used
by Verdi for his opera "Rigoletto."
The themes Of several of the dances
are old French folk tunes, and are
treated with great charm and fine ef-
feet by the composer, who is best
known for his two balets, Sylvia"
and "Coppelia," and the opera LAX
me-" He is what the French aptly call
a petit maitre" in the best sense
of the world, and because Of his utter
lack of pretentiouSnesS he surprises
pleasantly by his perfect taste and by
the mastery over his material.

VI IlOIilc IIllRIlI
seem easy to sacrifice to the average
individual in exchange for the glory
of a career such as Yehudi has known
in the short l8 years of his life. But
the travel and excitement attendant
on concert touring and its many dis
fractions are irkSome to these home
loving people who still consider after
much experience the link of affection
in the family circle more needful of
cultivation that the esteem of a tickle
world. Throughout the brilliant career
of Yehudi. the wise care and watchful-
ness of his family have played sig
nificant role, and no one, hearing or
meeting the young artist. but can
realize that the world owes to the good
judgment and tender guidance of his
parents the unusual presentation of a
musical prodigy and a healthy, cul-
tured individual.
1t IS Mrs. Menuhin even more than
the father who is anxious to cement
the bonds of family life through a
years repose. 1t is she who has posi-
lively opposed the planning of a public
career for her second talented child,
Hephzibah. whose pianistic gifts al
most rival those of her violinist
brother. Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey,
who has brought Yehudi here in re-
cital each year, tried in vain to pre-
sent the sonata recital by the brother
and sister which was given so success
fully in Paris, London and New York,
but the mother said definitely that the
fhron Qnnnnh ond
refused permission for Hephzibah's
name to join that of her brother on
a Washington program. Mrs. Menu
hin does not believe in an artist career
for women, knowing well that few
women pianists have found happiness
in the complete setting aside of family
life which the exigencies of the pro-
fession demand. She also pathetically
cites the 10000 miles travelled this
year by Yehudi, his parents and his
sisters and the constantly changing
environment in her plea for a quiet
year in their own home.
In an interview given in the London
Sunday Graphic Yehudi expresses his
own sentiments on home life. It am
hungry to know the world" he says,
and am hungry to know the litera-
ture of the world. I have learned
French, German and Italian and I am
studying Spanish and Russian, not
merely to speak to the people of these
nations, but to read their books. All
the emotional experience of the world
Is in those books.
But when I am grown up and
have finished my schooling, I think
I shall be able to content myself
with my friends and my family. For,
after all, music speaks a universal
language and simplif1es down to what
I can say to my father, mother and
sisters and my friends. That means
that, however I may journey, spirit
ually and physically, I am always
longing to go home. In way take
