70 Denave. NO doubt many an artist
has felt the same way about concert
audiences. and there is much to be
said on this question of how an audi
ence should respond to an artistic en-
tertainment especially rs regards the
domain Of music.
The part that the audience plays in
. concert is a considerable one and
one which carries a duty along with it.
The duty is toward the performing
artist, the composer. perhaps, and to
the future of music. 1t does not be-
gin and end with a general hand
elapping Of a more or less genuine i'm
pulse. It begins when each individual
makes up his mind to attend a concert
and finishes when the last encore has
been given. Nor is there any time
when an audience can permit itself
to become utterly passive in its reac-
ton or feel that the enthusiasm of q
portion Of those present expresses Just
what every one else is feeling. That is,
of course, provided an audience is
honestly interested in the progress of
music.
THIS doesn't mean that there
should be nothing but storms Of
applause at the conclusion of every
number on program. Such demon
strations are oftentimes more HARM
full than helpful for everybody con-
cerned. What an audience should
feel its duty to express, is its degree
OF approval or disapproyal Of what
Is being given it. Only in this way
can an artist judge the value of his
own art or that of some work he is
presenting. incidentally, many a
heart-break would be spared an aspir-
ing but talentless musician who seeks
q public career, If he could be made
to understand from the beginning
that he was not fitted for its de-
mands.
Aside from the demonstration at
the end Of a number, there is more
subtle response that the audience can
give an artist. 1t lies in the inter-
est and concentration of every in
dividual, and is communicative to the
performer. Many audiences wait to
have their interest awakened by the
artist, not realizing how difficult this
Is. sometimes, for an artist to do.
An uninterested audience is like a
thick, blank wall which an artist
seeks to penetrate, exerting himself
to the utmost and still finding no
trace of breaking in that mass of
resistance. From friendly and OPEN
minded attitude, wonders can be
worked by the artist who finds within
himself an increased ability blossom
ing forth IN the warmth OF the audi
ence's attention.
THOSE familiar with an European
publics frankness in expressing
disapproval have smiled at the hisses
