News of Music
Comments of KreisIer Stress u. S.. Lack
OF Quality in Training Musicians
By Alice Eversmon

of early instruction such as
Heifetz and Elman had from the
time they were years old. In
10 years. under daily supervision,
such thorough foundation could
be laid that further actual in
struction would be unnecessary.
An artist learns all the time.
Kreisler insisted, but most of his
practice must be done in his head.
This every musician knows, but
nevertheless the fingers must be
kept timber.
The most profound of his OBJ
servations has to do with first
violinist," which may be trans
planted into applying to any other
kind of musician. 1t has. in re-
ality, to do with the loose appli-
cation that has come into use,
of the word artist" There is
general confusion between that
word and its near relative, AR
tlsan." The Frenchman, Fran
co.'s DelSarte, in the last century,
hit on a happy definition of art,
more embracing than that given
in the dictionary. He said: The
object of art is to crystalline emo
ton into thought, and then fix it
in form"
This is what a real artist does.
The gift of a perfect voice and
the physical ability to use its cor
rectly, the possession of fleet and
strong fingers, or the knack Of
analyzing music from it's material
side, does not make an artist. It
makes an artisan. What is most
needed in the wealth of musical
activity in this country is a clear
understanding of what artistry
means. The artisan should be
welcomed and encouraged but the
abiding culture of a country is set
up and maintained by its artists.
In our eagerness for all the finer
things of life, much is acclaimed
that has, not the quality Of
longevity. The time is now hers
when the best should be garnered
and the inferior weeded out.

Alec TempIeton
Offers Recital
This Afternoon

Alec Templeton, recently select
ed with three others for the high
est Gallup poll rating in list OF
more than so celebrated enter
tainers, will be presented in a
piano recital this afternoon at
in Constitution Hall. The con-
cert is under the management of
the Hayes Concert Bureau, spon-
sored by the Friday Morning
Music Club and the Allied College
Benefit.
The pianist composer -improvi-
sor has been a familiar figure on
the American concert stage and
over the radio since his arrival in
this country in 1885. Many of
his compositions for piano, ORCH
estra and string quartet, have
been played extensively. Within
recent years, he has made a prac-
tice of giving special programs
for children and is, perhaps, the
only major artist who has de-
voted himself to the entertain
ment and instruction of children.
Heifetz Concert Tuesdoy
Jascha Heifetz will make his
annual appearance in recital on
Tuesday night at $3.50 in Consti-
tuition Hall under Mr.. Hayes
sponsorship. On January Is,
Heifetz fulfilled one of his de-
sires when he made his debut as
conductor with the Oklahoma
City Symphony. For this event
he directed the orchestra in
Bach's Concerto in A Minor, /"
and simultaneously took his place
as soloist in the work. Later, un-
der the baton Of the orchestra's s
regular conductor. Victor Ales-
sandro. he played the Mendels-
sohn concerto. Three years ago,
he celebrated the 30th anniver-
sary of his American debut by
taking more than a year off, re-
suming his concert appearances
in 1949.
Worine Here March q

half a hundred Pennsylvanians

SnOrCiy DeIOre Lne Qlnner given
in New York on his 18th birth
day, Fritz Kreisler made some
pertinent remarks in a press in
terview. He was being honored,
at that time, with a celebration
sponsored by the Musicians
Emergency Fund. which Kreisler
had been active in promoting,
and with a program which an
other renowned violinist, Nathan
Milstein. arranged. Considering
Kreisler's life experience, his
manifold interests and his ar
tistic standing. whatever he has
to say as regards music and its
exponents is worth listening to.
When acclaimed as the first
violinist in the world" he said, in
effect, that there was no such
thing. There is only a best for
Bach or best for Beethoven, ="
but first violinist" would be
one unsurpassed in Interpretation
OF every kind of music. He de-
cries the box-o office influence
which often leads to such a title
for an artist. and feels that "the
musician is judged not on what
he can do but on his drawing
power" He has other complaints.
There are too many violinists, too
many Conservatives, too many
crazy mothers" driving their
children into careers for which
they are not fitted.
Medioority Prevalent
If the latter objections seem
slightly cantankerous on the sur
face. they nonetheless strike
deeply at one of our greatest faults
that of quantity over quality
This is a country where conserva-
tories flourish but not all maintain
the highest standards. They turn
out students with a smattering OF
musical instruction and this
meager learning is passed on to
others.
A plane of mediocrity is estab-
lished. all the more harmful be-
cause the conviction is there of
profound knowledge.
If only the highest quality were
stressed, many heartbreak would
be avoided. Contributing to that
heartbreak are the crazy moth
ers" who listen to flattery and mis-
take an ordinary talent for some
thing exceptional. Through their
persistence, children are often
forced to a life's work for which
they have little inclination.
More than any other musical
that of being a violinist
Is very specialized calling. Not
every one who loves the violin
and wishes to play it. is equipped
with the fundamental require
ments. The instrument itself can
reveal its great beauty only if an
inborn ability to create q soulful
tone is allied to a stubborn de-
termination to master all its tech
nical and interpretive potential
tiles.
Proetiee LoreeIy Mentol
On this subject. Kreisler gives
some odd advice. If a child must
be a violinist. he should not have
a teacher after he is 13 or IA
years old. 1t is to be presumed
that Kreisler, who Stopped les
sons at II, presupposes the type
