WITH such program the SYM
w phony could fulfill its mission as

w phony could fulfill Its mission as
an educational factor without sacri-
f1cing completely more entertaining
side. With the many splendid solo
recitals sponsored by Mrs. Dorsey and
Mrs. Townsend and other local bu-
reaus, the individual branches Of mu-
sic are well represented. From these
concerts one learns to know the great
personalities in the music world and
the different angles Of Interpretation
of piano, violin or vocal music which
their talents give. But there remain
the magnificent orchestral compost
tions Of the masters In which they
have revealed the depths and the
heights of their genius as also the
growing maturity Of their musical
thought and skill, that can be heard
only through an orchestra. It would
be an interesting experiment to find
out what the reaction Of concert pa
irons would be to 9 definitely stressed
educational purport in the seasons
orchestral programs.
Among the individual recitals two
stand out as particularly memorable,
that Of Arthur Schnabel as a Beetho-
ven interpreter, presented by Mrs.
Dorsey. and Kristen Flagstad as q
concert singer, heard on Mrs. Town.
sends course. Both these artists gave
their public a glimpse of music as a
supreme art and through their artistic
work made evident how wide are the
horizons Of music and how far from
attainment unless the musical gift
borders on genius. Each had some
thing new to give that was vital and
stimulating In character.
OF the same pattern, but in another
field, were the dance recitals of the
Joose Ballet and Ted Shawn and his
men dancers. To real technical per-
fection they added the power of orig
inality of thought and the courageous
expression of it. The finer elements
which they brought into their work
could influence artists in other fields,
who seek to broaden themselves at
every opportunity.
THE response Of the public has also
been most gratifying this season.
A capacity house was not the excep-
ton this year, but rather the rule, and
in many cases demonstrated the dis
elimination of the music lovers In
that they had the courage to forsake
old favorites in favor of those whose
artistry challenged the accepted stand
ards. It is so easy for artists that
have pleased the public with what
they have to give to consider that
standard as sufficient. But OCCASION
ally new artist comes along who has
studied and thought more and whose
performance brings out clearly the de-
f1ciencies Of the older type. The pub
lie can no longer be drawn by clever
advertising alone. but must know Of
the real worth Of the talent to be
presented.
So with the end Of the season close
at hand the music lovers Of the Ma
tion's Capital can be pleased with
the result Of their support Of music.
BY continuing such successful sea-
sons, it will not be long before WASH
ington will rank as q power in the
musical world. When this objective Is
attained the gratitude of all will 60
to those who were far-sighted enough
and enterprising enough to see that
only the best in music should be in
cluded In the yearly series.

character of the musical appreciation
OF the concert public Of this city can
be estimated. It has been the policy
of DR.. Kinder to sandwich in between
his classical and consequently educa-
tional numbers the kind that please
the ear and put not too great a strain
on the mind. It is pleasant way to
receive doses of musical education,
but it is impossible to know how far
this system has been beneficial until
the choice of the request" program
Is announced.
Studying the list given out by DR..
Kinder after the voting was finished
and comparing it with the favorites
of last year, the enormous difference
in character is at once apparent.
Last years list gave first choice to
such melodic and pleasing numbers
as the Largo from Dvorak's New
World Symphony" Sibelius' "Fin-
landia," Brahms Hungarian Dance
Strauss Artists Life" and last, but
by no means least, Ravel's "Bolero.
1t is big step forward from such a
program to the one chosen for this
years request" concert.
The interest in symphonic music
has grown greatly this season and
among the symphonies which headed
the voting list as first choice were
the Brahms Symphony No. H.
Tschaikowsky's "Pathetique," Beeth-
ovens "Eroica," Schubert's "Unfin-
ished," Franck's ID Minor" and
Shotakovich's Symphony No. l."
Ravel's "Bolero" was denoted to the
lowest place, with only six votes to
its credit.
THE request program shows def
- nitely the likings of the many
orchestra patrons who were suffi-
ciently interested to take the trouble
to vote. Others who let the oppor-
tunity 60 by to register their pref
erences will also undoubtedly be
pleased that so many of the great
masterpieces have become popular
enough so that a chance to hear them
again was welcomed. Could not this
new trend in musical appreciation be
used as basis on which to plan next
years programs? The literature OF
symphony orchestra is large and gives
the kind of satisfaction that cannot
be duplicated by soloists or even
chamber music groups. Although
concert programs must be compiled
SO as to please all types of concert
goers. there would undoubtedly be q
decided appeal in the idea that the
educational side was being featured.
The advantage of compositions like
the Brahms or Beethoven symphonies
is that they are practically inexhausti-
BILE in study material. Whether one
Is a trained musician or one who
loves music and wishes to know as
much about it as possible, there is
always something new to be discovered
in the great masters works.
Why should not the symphony's
future programs be progressively
planned? For instance, If the Brahms
symphonies were given in order there
would be means Of comparison be-
tween the different periods of the
composers development and between
the subject matter chosen for the
compositions. Also a comprehensive
idea Of the trend Of musical thought
OF certain times could be better formed
by the juxtaposition of works by the
outstanding composers who were con-
temporaneouS
