Sense of Pitch

A letter received today asks, 81
would appreciate it If you would
give me your opinion as to the
harm if any to ones ear and mu-
Sical memory in trying to sing
with a phonograph record in view
of the fact that varying the speed
Of: the record varies the pitch of
the song. Also if playing a string
instrument which has not been
tuned with q pitch pipe is harmful
to the ear or musical memory"
Few musicians there are who
have attained such finely at
tuned ear that they have a sense of
absolute pitch. If it is your ambi
ton to develop sense of absolute
pitch, it would be well to listen
only to music in the correct pitch.
But if you are like most Of us who
cannot lay claim to this diStinc-
ton, and see no special virtue in
so doing, the difference of a half
tone above or below the standard
pitch of A-440 will do no harm.
Pitch is a relative matter.
When a musician works with
tranSpoSing instruments such as
the wind instruments that may
be BIB. Eb, or F, the ear must
be trained to make allowances
for the difference in pitch. The
greatest trouble singers have is
to be absolutely certain they are
singing in tune with the accom-.
panying instrument whether it is
low or high. .
We have known examples Of
persons possessing the sense of
absolute pitch that just could
not bear to play a piano that
was the least bit low in pitch
although otherwise in good tune.
One such pianist who possessed
a pasSable good baritone voice
was called on to fill in at the
last minute on a male quartet
radio program. Everything went
well until the high tenor in
sisted upon singing one number
a tone lower than written be-
cause Of q high tone he was
afraid Of. The emergency singer
could not sing a note of his

DIR. R. F. DYER
STRICKEN

Streptococcus infection Of the
face today sent a United States
Public Health Service research
surgeon to a cot at Naval Hos
pital, the victim, for the second
time within three years, Of his
own experiments in the field of
typhus fever prevention.
The surgeon, DR.. Rolla e. Dyer,
Of 3131 Rittenhouse st. N. W.,
caught the infection when the
door Of a guinea pig cage
scratched his face.
Early in 1888 DR.. Dyer spent
several weeks at Naval Hospital
recovering from a serious attack
Of typhuS, acquired from the bite
Of q flea which was being used
for the development of a serum
to combat the disease.

first bass part because Of hi
sense Of absolute pitch.
Sian of Weakness

A well trained musician may
consider the sense of absolute
pitch as part of his equipment,
but it is q sign Of weakness If
he allows this super sense to
prove his undoing. 1t Is best to
be absolutely accurate in the
matter of pitch especially in
tuning q string instrument when
q good pitch pipe costs so little.
In using q phonograph record
ing, one seldom uses q musical
score, so that the possible dis
crepancy in pitch is Of little con-
Germ. There is. however, . crying
need throughout the country in
the matter of pitch. We refer to
the vast majority Of pianos in the
average homes and schools that
are allowed to become lower in
pitch as the instrument ages.
When an instrument has been
allowed to become lower in pitch
as the instrument ages.
When an instrument has been
allowed to. drop a half tone, a
piano tuner may be called in. He
tunes the piano usually at the
pitch where he found it. This con-
dition is not entirely due to lazi-
ness on the part of the piano
tuner, but he knows that if the
job is properly done and the piano
is raised to the pitch Of A-440, it
will be necessary to make another
call in about 10 days to touch it
up again. He also knows from ex-
perience that the average person
will object to the cost Of this
extra visit.
This is the reason the majority
Of pianos in the average home
today are sadly out of pitch.
Owners Of pianos that have al
lowed their instruments to lower
because of neglect should face this
condition and insist that the
piano tuner raise the pitch to
A-440. Every tuner carries q tun-
ing fork to tune by. 1t will cost a
little more. but a thorough job
should be insisted on.

"A suggestion for using and
preserving the daily music
themes: Many teachers in
music appreciation advise their
pupils to clip the daily themes,
paste them on 3x5 filing cards,
place the composers name At
the top and file them in alpha

TSchaikowsky was happiest

main symphonic work on the

Symphony Orchestra.
DR.. Hans Kinder, director oi
the orchestra, has chosen for this
concert a symphony that is gen
orally considered to be the master
piece in this form by Tschaikow.
sky. The music lamentS such an
intense feeling of woe that it
might be regarded as laying bare
the soul of the composer; the at.
tempt to overcome this state Of
melancholy by forced and unreal
gaiety; a mighty struggle against
despair, and in the end, surrender
and death.
The dramatic plot that ends in
death for the hero or heroine, or
both. has been used frequently on
the stage from Shakespeare to
modern playwrighters. While one
usually associates music with
gaiety, the modern orchestra has
the power to express all moods OF
human emotion. This symphony
uses the full resources Of the or.
cheStra at times in an intense
dramatic musical story.
The theme shown above from
the second movement Of the pa
thetic Symphony" is introduced
by the celloS in a forced attempt
to be joyful. The time consisting
of five beats to the measure re-
suits in an unnatural rhythm.
Each measure might be divided
into two and three beats, but the
result is neither a two-Step nor a
waltz. It limpS and falters with
a movement that is unreal to life.

BROKEN FAITH
International News Service

neernAtOnAA news service
The Roosevelt Administration
has broken faith with prohibition
lists on the repeal issue, DR.. Clar
ence True Wilson, secretary Of the
Methodist Board of Temperance,
charged today.
Returning from a four months
tranScontinental speaking tour
DR.. Wilson declared the drys will
hold political leaders to a strict
accounting.
Issue In 1885
Conceding that national pro
hibition will not come again in
this generation, the fiery dry
leader nevertheless predicted that
the wet-dry issue will figure
prominently in the 1896 cam
paign. He said:
at was promised that with
repeal strong liquor would not
return, the saloon would never
be permitted and there would
be absolute protection for dry
States, and all other evil fea-
lures Of the old system would
be eliminated.
''These were almost the words
Of President Franklin d. ROOse-
velt and also Of former Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover.

broken. Not one Of the evils has
been eliminated. All standards

Cites Auto Deaths
The prohibitionists, DR.. Wilson
said, ascribe the increase in auto
mobile fatalities to the liquor
traffic. He declared:
"When the American people
get their moral eyeSight back
again, this political perfidy that
flooded our land with drink will
be met by an avalanche Of
wrath"
Drys, he said, win fight for local
option by counties and COM
munities and prohibition by
States.
The prohibitionisbS, he said,
claim victories in five Of the last
six elections in Kansas, North
Dakota, Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia.
The prohibitionistS expect
courses to be installed in schools
throughout the country on "the
evils of drink"
