THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES &. TRACEWELL.
Let no one who sincerely loves music
make the mistake so common with Ger

Let no one who sincerely loves music
make the mistake so common with GER
tain young persons.
They lump all music of into two
kinds, the compositions they know, the
ones they do not.
Now here comes the curious kink:
The music they know is good music,
they assert: compositions with which
they are not familiar are mo good" In
their positive phraseology.
Musical criticism is as easy as that,
according to their way of looking at
things.
If they are familiar with Beethoven,
but not with Bach, then the former is
the wonder child OF music, but the latter
is too slow and old for anything.
IT one Of these queer persons happens
to know little Bach, but not be very
we'll acquainted with the symphonies
and other music OF the master, then
Bach is great and Beethoven Just some-
thing to be sneered at.
Time will prove to them how wrong
they are in adopting any such way OF
looking at great art.
The rest of us, who try to be fair
both to ourselves and others-may re-
strain ourselves in any such tendencies,
and now and here refuse to be a party
to any such foolishness.
The world OF music is large. It con-
tains almost as many compositions as
the grains Of sand on the sea shores of
the world. Phonograph literature. in
recent years, has shown even the most
unthinking how many fine things there
are which most persons had never had
a chance to hear before.
The great average person is Just be-
ginning to realize that there is a great
deal more chance for good music to be
forgotten and overlooked than good
writing.
We may feel, with some correctness,
that every Shakespeare is known, every
Dickens, every Zola, but that in the
depths OF some> old library still linger
melodies yet to be heard by living ears.
And good melodies, too, replete with
musical invention and suggestiveness.
Several organizations around the world
are deVoting themselves to this worthy
purpose OF rescuing from oblivion some
OF the music the world was willing to
let die too soon.
These compositions come along, all in
good time. Most music lovers whose
opportunities to hear good music are
all too short need not bother about them
What is important is to have an open
mind on the well-known compositions.
1t Is an amazing thing how few per-
sons, after all, have an open mind con-
cernlng any subject. but that any one
who honestly loves music should bar
himself from certain compositions which
long ago made name for themselves
and their composers-this action seems
even more amazing. If not downright
silly.
Consider how few pieces, after all, out
OF the whole tremendous repertory, the
average music lover ever hears. The
hearing, OF course. Is the thing; no
amount of theoretical study will make
up for its lack.
Music takes time. It not only has
time, it takes time, as every musician
knows. One may devote a lifetime to
1t. and still feel there is so much to know.
In this knowledge there is no place for
preJudgment. Those who indulge in it.
to satisfy juvenile vanity, merely debar
themselves from good, at the same time

they build up one OF the worse elements
of human character.

they build up one Of the worse elements
Of human character.
~
No one would insist that any one
should give up his likes and dislikes.
These are a part Of character, and
precious part, so long as they do not
tend to warp what judgment one has.
What one should not do is to be so
loud mouthed about likes and dislikes,
especially the latter. 1t is far better to
insist that one likes" a certain COM
position than to proclaim with equal
vehemence that one does mot like" a
piece.
Negations are always more risky.
Especially is this true in regard to
musical judgments.
II you have pet dislike, keep it to
yourself. Music is a thing of moods
thank Heaven, as we'll as of notes, time
and many other musical ingredients.
The time may come when you will
like" what you formerly disliked, or at
least thought you did.
Then you will be confronted by that
old human situation:
II you have talked too much, and
branded the composition as poor
tprobably bum" or rotten" in the ver-
nacular) you will be ashamed to turn
around and brand yourself as a young
fool.
So what will you do? Why, what most
persons do, in such situation:
Lie to others and to yourself, and
still insist that the composition is bad,
OF course.
Brave will be the person, indeed, who
takes the other path. and admits that he
was wrong.
The better way is to make no inimical
Judgments which may have to be
changed later on. This would not mean
that poor compositions should not be so
labeled, or that mediocre music should
not be set down as such.
What 1t would mean is that the music
lover would go to the trouble to find out,
first of all, and especially as young in
qulrer, just what the matured and con-
sidered judgments of musical people of
the past had been on the composition
under question.
If it were learned that the opinion had
been favorable, this would be checked
against the personal opinion.
II. in turn. ones own opinion were
decidedly at variance with the old iudg-
ment. then one should question ones
own ideas, rather than the ideas of the
musicians Of the past.
This would not mean that one is sub
servient to the past, but merely fair to
the past
Consider the great Johann Sebastian
Bach.
We all have read that he was the
worlds greatest musician, but many of
us, privately, may question that judg-
ment.
Then let us. first of all, question our
right to disagree. Do we know enough
about music especially about Bach's
compositions, to have right to judg-
ment?
The fact that We have ears. and can
near. does not mean a thing-eXcept
that We have ears. and can hear with
them.
Let us try to be fair to ourselves. and to
music, and not lump it all into two
classes, compositions We somehow in
lnstlnctlvely like, and those which, at
frst hearing, we say we do not like. Let
US feel that the music with which We
are not yet acquainted may be as great
as or even greater than the music we
know.

Thomas Jefferson was never an ex-
travagant man and he might approve
of certain amount of temporary econ

is made evident that his chief concern
for great men lay in their documents
or in the books that might be written
about them.

Secretary Hull has just hberalized the
procedure governing use of State De-

Of promoting legitimate historical re-

1t is desired, says Traffic Director Van
Duzer, to find place for automobiles
to park. One difficulty lies in the fact
that no sooner is a. space indicated as
suitable than 1t is occupied to over
crowding. The inventive genius who will
equip automobiles with wings, or gas
bag, should at this time find hearing.

The temporary lack OF suitable mon
