SERGE KOUSSEVITZKY.
BY Hugo Leichentritt. (Haruard
University Press; $3J
Moses Smiths unauthorized bi-
ography reached the book stores
when the court injunctions obtained
by Koussevitzky against its re-
lease in February were finally re-
scinded It conceded with the
issuance of Hugo Leichtentritt's
book by another publisher. The
biographical data in the latter is
restricted, the greater bulk of the
work being given over to the listing
and analysis of the new compost
tions, principally by Americans,
played by the Boston Symphony in
Is years.
The famous conductor could take
no exception to the condensed story
of his life that forms the first
chapter. Later, under the headings
Artist Koussevitzky" and ''Kousse-
vitzky as Educator" Leichentritt
eulogizes the Boston leader for his
rare artistic qualities and justly
points out the invaluable service the
Berkshire Music Center is rendering
to American talent. The history of
that enterprise is given in detail.
In the thorough analysis LEIGH
tentritt has given to the works by
American composers represented on
the Boston Symphony programs he
has made real contribution to the
understanding of the new idiom.
At the same time he has traced the
gradual changes that have been
operating for some years in music
composition, going back to the era
of Paine, Charwick, Foote and Mac
Dowell. Nothing quite so compre-
hensive has been attempted before.
Mr.. Smiths biography is quite diff
ferent. Whereas Mr.. Leichtentritt
allows himself no derogatory word,
Mr.. Smith mentions the foibles as
we'll as the laudatory elements in
Koussevitzky, the man and artist.
Because the portrait is so complete,
it is by far the more interesting book.
1t is an amazing story. Beginning
in the poverty of an obscure Rus
sian village, it's thread is traced
through the great music centers of
Europe and finally to the United
States in a crescendo of acclaim.
The financial chart of theA grand
seigneur" of music moves from
zero point to untold riches, sinking
to a new low after the Russian rev.
olution and again ascending to stable

eyes to an unprecedented system OF
branch banking. His competitors
did not like it; he ran into opposi-

out on top. Later there were his
battles with Wall street, climaxed
by his victory over group bent on
deposing him and cutting down his
lifes work. After that he had his
long fight with, the Government as
represented by the SEC. He did all
right in that, too. He is still on top.
Deliberate Plotting.
In telling the Giannini story, Mr.,
Dana has things to say about a
number of prominent bankers and
governmental officials. and he is
sometimes far from flattering. He
suggests that there might have been
deliberate plotting against "A. p
perhaps even a. sinister conspiracy
to wreck him and certain Bank of
America. affiliates to save Ivar
Kreuger, the fabulous match king
who killed himself not long after
Mr.. Giannini licked Wall Street. All
this makes interesting and even ex-
citing reading. Mr.. Dana has done
good job 1t would have been bet
ter, though, had he been less in
clined to present his hero in a COM
pletely clinkless suit of armor.

run of books by famous artists where

content With Strings Attached"
is an autobiography in sense only
for the events of Szigetis public and
private life serve as means to start
remembering and philosophizing.
What emerges strongly from the
reading is the manner in which the
author has turned all his expert
ences to an intellectual profit. He
has lived fully in way to give him
rare understanding of people. In
absorbing the atmosphere of every
country he visited and in studying
the customs and trends, he has
formed conclusions that are reveal
ing as to the superior quality of his
thought processes. The book
abounds in people of all types, local
scenes. political upheavals and many
interesting sidelines, gathered to-
gether with the musical experiences
and the musical learning of long
and active life. 1t is one of the
most entertaining writings from the
pen of prominent person.

HARPS IN THE WIND
BY Carol Brink. (The Mdcmil-
Ian Co.. $780,
Few of the present generation
may know that there was an Amer
ican family of troubadours, the
Singing Hutchinsons, before the ad-
vent of the Trapp Family Singers.
All were singers but this fascinating
story concerns itself mostly with the
three brothers and young sister who
formed a quartet and toured the
country year after year, beginning
in 1842. AS time went on, their
children took the places of the orig
inal group so that some members
of the family were before the public
for more than so years. They ap-
peared before Presidents Lincoln,
Polk and Tyler and gave successful
concerts in England, Ireland and
Scotland as well. Charles Dickens
in England and many other famous
writer's, actors and politicians here
and abroad were their friends. 1t
is amazing to note the number of
songs now considered revered clas-
sizes that the singers introduced. The
Hutchinsons paced the development
of this country with their singing.
