N. B. c." said Krausser, there were
only q few pianos. and I worked on
them during the day when they were
not in use. But now" his gray eye
twinkled through his steel-rimmed
glasses. 1T is different"
All Of the pianos used on N B. c.
programs are his charge. OF the SO
pianos in the studios, 80 grands are
on the air. In addition Krausser
keeps In tune the pianos Of John F.
Royal, vice president in charge OF
programs, and Miss Bertha Brainard,
director of commercial programs.
Four other assorted pianos are tuned
independently by James Raphael. OF
those used on the air, are concert
grands, baby grand, and ~ are
parlor grands. All are Of ebon hue
with the exception of one used for
television, which Is gray The black
Just does not televise. Each piano is
mounted on truck with rubber-tired
wheels so that it can be easily moved
Krausser has met only few Of the
artists who use his pianos, but very
frequently he finds some Of their
personal belongings hidden away in
side the instruments. Compacts,
handkerchief, fountain pens. pencils,
hair pins. even keys and odd coins
come to light. Krausser still can't
figure out the loose coins, generally
q penny or nickel. but never more
than . thin dime. The thing that
really makes him angry Is when some
one puts q container Of hot coffee on
the wires.
Krausser does not mind working
while the rest Of the world sleeps.
In fact he says he Is 50 accustomed to
1t now that he likes it and would not
want to go back to working days.
From / until 7:30 am. the studios
are his own special province. The
pianos are his subjects. But, most
important, there Is no one around to
bother him, for the cleaners and
watchmen have their own duties and
keep out Of the way.

Native Music

Radio Is Helping
American Art,
Says NJ. Gould.

ESPITE destructive criticisms
radio has often suffered, it Is
aiding the firmer establish.
ment Of a native American
music, believes Morton Gould, COM
poser and musical conductor heard
via the Mutual network.
Mr.. Gould points out, Americas
potential culture has not been en-
couraged because European ideas have
been too influential Though great
music earns its value regardless of
origin, native art must find its roots
in the people and their environment,
which must reflect in the composers
creations. In spite of discouraglng
handicaps. American composers today
are fighting toward stronger
recognition of music that can be truly
labeled American. But where q
Shostakovish will receive praise of in
jecting burlesque Of brass bands and
carnival orchestras in symphonies an
American composer would be derided
II he infused impressions Of Cab Call
loway or Duke Ellington into a major
work.
IT we are to possess a national
music, We must make use of the vast.
untouched possibilities in American
tempos and the country's early music.
To many swing and popular music
seem faddstic, but its purer elements
have compactness and vitality COM
patable to classical structures. The
blues might be as adaptable to Amer
lean light music as the lullaby is to
the European. The young American
composer. tutored in a jazz age, can
feel the tempo of the day with more
realism than shown by more aged COL
leagues. whose attempts at incorporate
ing popular trends in music usually
bring superficial results because they
lack feeling for it. Yet, utilizing popu.
Lar musical idioms can bring artistic
significance If done in good taste and
sincerity"
"One radio audience can probably
make up more listeners than
Beethoven had in lifetime" illustrates
the 24-year-old maestro.
1T is this mammoth hearing which
affords an excellent outlet for musical
expression and brings creations to the
masses instead of combining it to the
limited audiences in concert halls"
Mr.. Gould also pointed out that
radio. particularly through Columbia
and Mutual has been commissioning
composers to write special music for
the networks He hljeyes that fhis
practice will be the greatest force in
the development of modern American
music.

surely through an arpeggio that COW
ers the range Of the keyboard.
With this brief performance the
music ends. The artist becomes
artisan. Herman F. Krausser, piano
tuner, is on the job. Tools come out
from his small black bag. At his
touch the piano comes apart with the
ease of secret panels opening.
Keeping the 80 pianos used daily
by artists at precise concert pitch is
one Of the many important routine
jobs behind the scenes, and in this
instance after hours, so that the show
may 60 on. Whether it be a SYM
phony concert directed by Maestro
Arturo Toscanini or the red-hot swing
Of Fats Waller, the grands must be
pitch perfect. Two factory experts,
each a specialist IN his own job, are
charged with the responsibility Of
keeping the pianos in perfect con-
dition. Once week every piano is
tuned. and every four or five weeks
it is regulated or voiced.

Krausser, already a tradition with
N. B. c., comes from a family OF
