Soviet Composers Fail to Explain Reason
Few Russians Emulate Tschuikowsky Style

liar one written by English music
critics and compiled by Gerald Abra-
ham under the title THE Music of
Tschaikowsky" It is noteworthy
that the Russian musicians in Rus
sian Symphony have little Or no
criticism to bestow on any of
Tschaikowsky's writings while the
English critics often voice definite
derogatory opinions. The Russians
are unanimous in glorifying Tschai-
kowsky's gift for melody, his 'in-
exhaustible love for humanity" his
emotionalism, CT absolutely dis
agree with you that music cannot
express the universal attributes of
love. I believe quite the contrary
that music alone can do it") and re-
pudiate the widespread belief that
he was a pessimist. OF his music
Shostakovich says, 1T is often er-
roneously thought to be touched by
the spirit of pessimism, a view aris-
ing from the fact that some modern
music scholars as well as most music
critics and scholars of the pre-revo-
lutionary generation, confused pes
simism with a vivid sense of
tragedy"
Chapters are devoted to detailed
account and analysis of his operas,
symphonies, ballets, songs and
chamber music. They are valuable
for many new slants that could not
be given by any one other than a
Russian. Facts concerning the crea-
ton of these works are also more
complete and enlightening than
what has been set forth heretofore.
On the whole it is a book to be
studied and one which succeeds in
offsetting the prevalent opinion in
some circles of the decadence of
Tschaikowsky's music. The only
puzzle left after reading it is that so
few Soviet composers have been
stirred to emulate Tschaikowsky in
the very things they admire most in
him and his writings. A. E.

Russian Symphony: T oughts
About Tschaikowsky,'' by. Dmitri
Shostakovich and others. Philosophi-
cal Library. New York. S3.75.

Although Shostakovich is named
first as author of Russian SYM
phony: Thoughts About TschaikoW-
sky" his contribution is the least
significant of the eight offered by
prominent musicians of the Soviet
Union. 1t serves, as Introductory
chapter, to establish the laudatory
mood in which all the writer's ap-
proach an analysis of Tschaikow-
sky's works. He sums up the uni
versal appreciation given this COM
poser of another era in the words:
Like Pushkin, he has become part
of the Russian national conscious
ness. Without TschaikoWsky we
could not endure our sorrows, his
name is on our lips in the hour of
victory and in the period of the
upsurge of the Russian national
spirit"
Considering the wide divergence
between Shostakovich's style of writ
ing and that of TschaikoWsky it is
interesting to read that Whenever
I take up my pen to write some
score my thoughts involuntarily
turn to the methods used by this
unsurpassed master of the art of
composition. The favor that
Tschaikowsky enjoys In the Soviet
Union today is based, as is stressed
repeatedly in this book, on his great
love and understanding of Russian
life. The difference between that
life as ne knew it and that of the
present time seems of no conse-
quence. In the chapter devoted to
Tschaikowsky's operas by B. Yaru-
stovsky he quotes the author as
saying: II avoid foreign subjects in
general for it is only the Russian
man, the Russian girl, the Russian
woman that I really sknow and
understand"

Kitchen Katie Tells Valley Housewives

An easy way to use soap
 scraps is to dry them thorough ly and then run them through a food chopper; resulting pow der is handy in dishpan. To remove stains from sink, close drain, put in water to which two tablespoons of clorox is added, let stand ten minutes. Wash with soap and water.
 sKnoW this one? Use wire rack as a grater when you want to make bread crumbs in a hurry.
 Tie paper bag over the open ing of the chopper when grind ing dried bread crumbs to pre- vent them from flying out.
 If too much salt has been add ed to cooking food, stretch a clean cloth over the vessel and sprinkle one tablespoon flour over cloth. The flour will absorb the salt if allowed to steam few minutes.
 Do not add salt to pork sau- sage and ground beef which are to be preserved by quick freez- ing, but add other seasonings. This frozen ground meat keeps better without salt.
 Put cabbage for kraut in sack and weight down, thus keeping under juice to eliminate spoil age. Put in a small amount of | sugar if kraut is too sour.
 Mix blueberry juice with sour juice for jell.
