BY Ethel "Teddy" MOscOvitz


editors note: The guest col
umniSt for this week is Elmer
Setter, recently selected as vio-
1inist with the Cleveland Sym
phony Orchestra, one of the ma
tons finest. Born and educated
in Jacksonville, he is we'll known
to JaxonS. Beginning his study
of the violin with George Orner,
he later rounded out his educa-
ton at the University of Florida
and then proceeded to the Pea
body Institute of Music in Balti-
more to which he received
scholarship.
The war interrupted his career
with the Baltimore Symphony
Orchestra, then under the baton
of Howard Barlow. He returned
to it however, after serving with
the army, and for the past three
and a half years has served as
assistant principal of the second
violins under Reginald Stewart,
who succeeded Barlow. He be-
gins his first season with the
Cleveland Symphony Orchestra
this fall.
Setter is married to the former
Marie de Maria, also a violinist.
He is the son of Mayer Setter and
a brother of Mrs. Sidney Still
man. He is spending the summer
as the house guest of his father
and DR.. and Mrs. Stillman in
San Marco)
When Teddy asked me to write
something for this column, I must
admit that I tried to bow out as
gracefully as possible. However,
Teddy can be quite persistent so
here l ana violinist without
any violin, attempting to be
journalist. Frankly, would feel
much more at home with my
violin under my chin than with
pen in hand. But under the cir
cumstances (excuse the play on
words)-this is the time for
words. not action!
Most of us who are interested
in music are familiar with the
music of the great masters of the
past and are becoming more and
better acquainted with the music
of our contemporaries. However,
there is a music that we know
very little about which is coming
from a new country-Israel. Be-
cause of its youth, Israel has not
contributed much music to us,
but it has certainly made an au-
spicious start.
It is music that combines the
many cultures absorbed by the
Jews through many centuries of
dispersion throughout the world.
In the writer's humble opinion,
music expresses our inner-most
feelings more completely than
any of the arts of self-expression.
The music of Israel is very OBJ
vious in its expression of the
drama of this new country and
its people.
The musicians of Israel are full
filling their duty to their country
by being all the things an Israeli
must be. They have worked,
fought and died for Israel. While
the fighting was going on they
were able to devote onlv their
