questions are of paramount impor-
tance and the answers will decide the
success Of the season and the path
that music culture will follow. There
can be no ignoring Of these issues and
no kowtowing of one TO the other if
the high standard of music is TO be
preserved.
From one angle. that of the f1nan-
cial, which, unfortunately controls
the music situation. what the public
wants dominates the whole system of
planning. The public must be pleased
or there will be no public. Yet. in it.
self, the public is not proficient enough
in musical culture TO dictate any de-
mands. At the same time it is made
up of so many elements. such variety
of mentality and degrees of apprecia-
ton, that 1t is but fair that each
be considered when the musical menu
is being prepared. For the status Of
the public is not stationary but cap
able of growth and its teachers are
the purveyors of music provided they
are clever enough to understand the
conditions.
A NY one with experience in con-
tacting the public musically Is
able to gage its reactions fairly well.
The observers can even arrive at a
system of classification. based upon
the locality and its local musical op-
portunities. 1t Is but natural that this
be taken into consideration in arrang-
ing program, because works included
therein beyond the comprehension of
the majority will not make for the
success of musical undertaking. Yet
this does not mean that program
makers must descend to the level Of
the musical education of their public
and do nothing to raise that level.
Rather it is their duty to give of the
best of the category that will interest
their listeners and gradually add to
their knowledge by including more
serious types of music.
What appeal most to the musically
nneducated are melody and rhythm.
and the greatest melodies and most
perfect rhythm form have been pro-
duced by the great masters. Take
them out OF their exclusiveness and
remove the cloak of urcomprehensive-
ness and it will be found that the
great composers have created music
that will reach the mind, the imagina-
tion and the heart of most any or
dinarily endowed lover of music II
they do not, something is wrong
and 1t is for the interpreter to find
out the reason why. 1t is for him
to tnalyze his own attitude Of mind
and find out il his own glorif1cation
of technique and lack of finer imag-
inativeness is not responsible for not
reaching across the barrier to the
ordinary listener.
THERE is never moment when
the artist has a right to forget
that he is An educator. a revealer
of great truths. He may have a
sophisticated or an uncultured audi
ence, but his vocation remains the
same. He is there to teach, whether
an elementary lesson or post-grad-
uate course. He can never allow
himself the relaxation of meeting
the public on their own level. nor, if
he is real artist, should he ever
wish to do so.
OF course, this makes the public
often fearful of the kind of music
it will be given during musical
season They don't want to feel that
they must submit to being educated
and much prefer TO be entertained
with sonfhinr easily QraSned music
