standing conductors as IOScanlm,
Koussevitsky and Ormandy with con-
spicuous success, there is still feeling
that the musical public, on the whole,
is not yet rssdy to assimilate his work.
There has been considerable and
justifiable propaganda for the Ameri-
can composer, but at the same time
the work of such men as Bruckner
and Mailer can only be given a hear
ing at great risk. 1t seems strange
that in this period, when the world
is flooded with the mediocre output of
writer's Of music who take refuge be-
hind the classification Of modernism,
there remains an unwillingness at
east to acquaint oneself with the
work Of men who have already been
occlaimed by the erudite. Their music,
IL has been admitted, is not easily
understandable, yet neither was that
Beethoven or Brahms or Wagner,
one time.
Recently the Bruckner Society has
Hent out an appeal for more perform
noes of Bruckners symphonies
When visiting conductor was once
asked why he did not program a
Bruckner work for performance here,
he replied that it would not be pos
sible. Yet in musical circles, the cult
of Bruckner is growing. while the local
public remains ignorant whether or
no. his music would hold an appeal
for it.
Side by side with the appreciation
which familiarity is making possible
of Bruckners music is the homage to
the man himself, who SO Studiously
prepared himself for his destiny. He
was born in 1924 in a small upper
Austrian village the son of the viii
lage schoolmaster. There was more
tendency toward ordinary learning
than toward music in the background
of the simple family, but the boy soon
proved that he was differently en-
dowed. Recognizing his sons talent
for music, although it was not out
standing in his early years, the father
had him instructed in the rudimentS
of the art before he died, when his son
son was 13 years of age. Soon after
ward the young Bruckner became
choirboy at the st. Florian Monastery,
which proved the crowning influence
of his life.
Here he had every chance to be-
come acquainted with the best in
classical music, which may have laid
the foundation for his great leaning
toward Bach. But music as profess
sion was still unthinkable for him and
he prepared to follow in the footsteps
Of his father. While not deserting the
study of music, he fitted himself to be
a school teacher and ultimately was

given small position in . small town.
Fate stepped IL at this moment,
and he was called again to st. FIorian,
this time as instructor, and with the
incentive thus aroused he determined
to study for higher grade teaching.
Again he succeeded and for the nrst
time allowed himself more time for the
study Of the organ. When q vacancy
In the Linz Cathedral came, he was
appointed to succeed to the post.
The remarkable part Of Bruckner's
life is the amount Of time he spent in
study, always desiring more and more
knowledge before he would trust him.
self in composition. 1t was not until
he was 40 years Of age that he wrote
his first great work-''The Mass In D
Minor" In the 81 years Of life that
remained to him he wrote eight SYM
phonies and part Of ninth, and In
Vulnerable other works. His extreme
thoroughness has left its mark in a too
detailed exposition in his works, but
this redundancy is overshadowed by
the unmistakable evidence Of genius.
He was contemporary of Brahms
and Wagner and so intense an admirer
of the latter that he dedicated his
Seventh Symphony" to him. The in
duence of these two men on his type
Of writing Is evident, and 80 pro-
nounced that many times he is re-
ferred to as a second Brahms. During
his lifetime his work was almost en-
tirely ignored, until Nikisch played his
Seventh Symphony" in Leipzig, when
the tumultuous reception given it for
the first time attracted the attention
of publishers. He was, however, better
known as an organiSt and as such had
toured France and England, where
he was extremely popular.
Excessively shy and retiring As re-
CARDS his own talent. Bruckner had no
knowledge Of how to promote himself
in public favor. The success OF his
symphony in the Leipzig performance
gave him the first assurance Of his
merit, and he was so overcome at the
demonstration Of the audience that he
stood on the stage beside Nikisch and
wept unrestrainedly
The last years Of his life were more
and more frequently spent at the st.
Florian Monastery, which he regarded
as his real home There, in the ele-
CANT and impressive building, simple
room was always reserved for him and
