have aSSimilated the directions for in
terpretations written in the score by
the composer. When preparing a per-
formance of Brahms Requiem" Sir
George Henschel wrote the composer
asking If the metronomic indications
of tempt were to be strictly observed.
Brahms answered: II think here, as
we'll as with other music, the metro
nome is of no value. Those which are
found in my works, good friends have
talked me into putting them there, for
l myself have never believed that my
blood and a mechanical instrument go
well together Is this an answer? I
know no better one; but what I do
know is that l indicate without flg-
ures) my tempt, modeStly to be sure,
but with the greatest care and clear
ness"
IN THESE few words of the great
composer are summed up the great
est requii ements of good conductor
knowledge of what the composer wants
and the personal vision to see what
elasticity of understanding is allowable
to attain the desired Interpretation. 1t
is the personal vision that makes a
conductor great, if it be founded on an
unassailable knowledge.
But all of this will be valueless II
the leader does not understand how
to make his men accept and reproduce
his ideas. To make 100 or more men
think and feel as one is the enormous
task that conductor must accomplish.
The musicians of an orchestra can
readily detect the quality of director
and are willing to accord him respect
if he deserves it. But he must know
his business in an all-embracing man
ner. He must know the range and ex-
preSsive character Of every instrument,
and how to fit their descriptive tone
into the balanced ensemble. Only
when the men working under him are
convinced of the truth of his knoWl-
edge in this matter will they be willing
to follow his original interpretative
ideas.
The discipline of an orchestra is as
important as the artistic work it does
and both are in the hands of the man
who can make his power felt and re-
Spected. How are the coming genera
ton OF conductors to learn this art of
projecting personality in sufficient
strength to make great music? More
orchestras have been formed under
Government supervision, and the con-
servatories are giving the instrument
talists an opportunity to study the or
cheStral literature. But even with
this progress the young. ambitious mu-
siclan, who would train for the con-
ductor'S place, is not hailed to the di-
rectors desk or otherwise provided for.
WE NEED more American con-
ductors of outstanding merit,
conductors that the public will be
eager to listen to. If we would have
our native musicians taken care of,
those who are fitted to hold the baton
must not be overlooked. The future
Is opening out for this particular
branch of music, and some day the
supply of famous conductors will run
out With care, the meeting of such
an emergency can be gradually begun
by encouraging young musicians to
study seriously to this end.

Revival Is
FOreSeen
so Million instruments
Are Now Unused,
Educator Says.

THERE are so million unused
musical instruments in the
United States, DR.. Joseph E
Maddy declares
1T may not sound that way, now
| that the windows are open" says
DR.. Maddy. But I believe it's true.
OF course, not all Of these are pianos
include in the figure every inStru-
ment which can produce music. from
pipe organs down to mouth organs
and ukuleleS. Some of us have taken
on the job of putting these so mil
lion music makers to work-at least
part Of them. If all the unused
trombones and fiddles and pianos and
such could be put to good use we
shouldn't need to work for a musical
revival. We'd have it."
DR.. Maddy is president of the Mu-
sic Educators National Conference,
is on the staff of the University of
Michigan, is head. with T. P. Gid
dings, of the original Summer camp
for young musicians at Interlochen,
Mich, and holds so many other berths
of one kind or other that he frankly
admits he sometimes has to check up
to remember which is which. He
hasn't been in his Ann Arbor, Mich.
home for six weeks, and he may not
get there for more than day or so
before his national music camp opens
June %. Then he will be away for
another eight weeks. since the camp
does not close until August %
He is of average or better height,
young looking, slender and moves
quickly A grin usually surrounds his
close-lipped mustache. The grin is
a great help managing the 800 or
more youngsters who annually spend
eight weeks making themselves better
musicians with the help of Michigan
air.
These youngsters are of both sexes:
they live in cabins, under careful
supervision, but with as little regu-
lation as is possible. Everything
having to do with an orchestra or
band is taught, from drum majoring
(actually) to solo appearances with
symphony orchestras. A good deal of
broadcasting is done, and that's good
experience, too, DR.. Madd thinks.
The camp is an outgrowth of an
orchestra of high school players as
sembled at Detroit from 80 States to
play for the music supervisors in con-
ference assembled The date was
1926, and the occasion attracted
Nationwide comment. The first
camp was established in 1928. No
body has questioned, so far as DR..
Maddy knows, the artistic benefit of
the camps. Getting money for them
has not been as smooth sailing, how
ever.
DR.. Maddy thinks life has few re-
wards like those which come from
making boys and girls into intelligent
musicians.
