Chopin's Music Emphasized
On Centen"ry of His Death
By Alice Eversmon

was the style of the day, and his
compositions as also his advice to
pupils bears out his determination to
create more refined and subtle art.
Marked His Compositions.
He had his own ideas about tech
nique and left many instructions
as to its use. Several of his inno-
vations amazed both List and Men
delssohn and aroused their admira-
ton. He was careful to mark his
music as he wished it played, al
though editors have tempered with
1t iso greatly that present editions
hardly resemble the original.
There was definitely a scheme both
in his composing and in his pres
entation of his works that must not
be ignored.
Practically all of his compositions
had a story connected with them
or an emotional basis. The knight
errantry and customs of his country
were an ineXhauStible inspiration.
His own poetic sensitiveneSs was
another source to be counted upon.
In fact, it is not possible to divorce
the man ard his music or his posi-
tive mentions from his style in
composing. He sought to open new
vistas in tone coloring and in de-
Scriptive possibilities and adopted
specific means to these ends
Much of Chopin's public perform
ances were in intimate surround
ings and on a smaller sized piano
than is used today. Yet this In no
wise changes the essentials he strove
to incorporate in his music. 1t can
not be approached from either the
psychic or technical angle that be-
longs to music by other composers.
In his time. Chopin was unique as
pianist and creator. Today, as
most Interpreters present him, he
has lost his individuality. Perhaps
this year. with more acquiescence
to his explicit directions end more
stud" of lis personality, finer per-
forr??nces of his music will result
If this be accomplished, the whole
meaning of music will be enriched
and in this most needful time we
may discover that it is the art
