LIP presents graceful melodies
combined with sparkling lyrics.

AS a work Of art itself, "The

generally readable, but now
and then one comes to q
phrase that makes one wonder,
whether Mr.. Peasants has any
critical foundation whatever.
In the phrase IF one finds

demand for it. there has been
no check on its degeneration
into a horrible travesty Of a
human accomplishment that
has already reached fulfillment
and perfection. In short, to-
day we like old music, and
tolerate new music. ut should
be noted that while Mr.. Pleas
ants speaks of the music Of
the past generieally, his book
is actually concerned with
only a small part Of it--or-
chestral and operate music
from about 1850 to 1910-the
latter limiting date his own.)
1t is questionable. and Mr..
Peasants is unable to prove
the point, that Bach, Haydn
and Wagner, who admittedly
wrote to please, wrote with any
intention of pleasing every
body. We say that the Wen
nese Liked the Eroica Sym
phony in 1906. and we inexactly
imagine that everybody liked it.
Is there any evidence that its
audience was any larger than
that for a similarly extraordi-
nary modern work, as for ex-
ample, Wozzeck? Mr.. Pleas
ants seems to think Roger
Sessions unfortunately cynical
when he decries writing for
the public" and points out that
the great classical mastefs had
no such compunctions. But
today, "the public" means the
aggregate of every single indi-

great musical achievement Of
the time. But the two are not
the same - certainly not In
their popularity status. Tin
Pan Alley 1t is impossible to
escape, but when did you last
hear jazz by accident?
Where has Mr.. Peasants
been that he believes that
modern music has no audi
ence? It is at this point that
his thesis becomes ludicrous
and shows itself the hallucina-
ton of an unhappy Philistine,
for unless you accept the au-
thor's premise that the pub
lie" comprises all warm flesh.
modern music has q large seq
ment of the public as an en-
thusiaStic devotee. It is only
by combining investigation to
the patrons of symphony Or
chestras and Of operas that Mr..
Peasants escapes being UNI
equivocally ridiculous, yet to
evaluate modern music only
through the medium of the
highly specialized institution
Of the symphony orchestra is
as misleading as to Judge mod
ern literature only through the
phenomenon of the book-of-
the-month club. Each is an
artfully contrived institution Of
delicate balance whose eco
nomic existence depends on its
appeal to the greatest common
denomination.
Finally, Mr.. Peasants as

Antal Dorati, who conducts

Walter Terry. the New York

Tchaikovsky no doubt would
be gratif1ed to have at least q
concert performance revert to
the original, and Dorati leads
it in an animated, vigorous
fashion. There is plenty Of
music involved, the perform

done expertly by the reproduce

vidual with ears. It is assumed
that music should be an en-
nobling and necessary part Of
the life Of every one, no less
than Sunday school or apple
pie. Is it not possible that Mo-
cart thought Of his public with
more discrimination and that
he limited his market? Do we
consider it undelnocratic arro-
gance on the part of the Flex-
ible Flyer Co. to have little
concern with the children of
Key West?
Mr.. Peasants says that a
great attraction of the good
old music was melody, that
what people like in Tchaikow-
sky and Beethoven is tuneful-
ness. That is in part true, but
composers whose music is much
more essentially melodic, as.
for example, Bach and Pales-
trina. have either a limited
popular audience or virtually
none at all, while melody exists
only in its most rudimentary
state in the tremendously pop
ular hits OF radio and juke-box
the vital feature of which is
incesSant iteration of one or
more Of the most commonplace
banalities.

by the author between these
songs and jazz. They are

an original manner congenial
to the society Of which 1t is
the spontaneous musical ex-
preston.
II. And it has found the way
back to the basic musical ma
ture Of the ordinary mortal.
from whom music derives, by
whom and for whom it is pro-
duced, and without whom 1t
cannot and does not exist.
Apart from No. /. which Is
patiently nonsense, the argu-
ment is highly provocative.
and the reader turns to the
first chapter In anticipation Of
the relish that always accom-
panies the unfolding Of an
iconoclastic thesis. Unfortu-
nately, although Mr.. Pleas
ants writes of his convictions
not without a certain engaging
plausability. his argument is
never either developed or
proved.
In the first place, what is
good, Indifferent and bad
music? Mr.. Peasants never
comes to grips with the Ques-
ton, other than by the impli-
cation that good music is that
which pleases the greatest
number of people. II the ques-
ton is as simple as that, and
If, as Mr.. Peasants. says, more
people enjoyed longhair music
in the 18th and 10th centuries
than do now, then he win not
be begrudged his point by
anybody, for the matter loses
all trace Of interest. But there
are few who maintain that the
value Of art can be assessed
solely by its mass appeal, even
though most people are unable
to define what they mean by
the quality of goodness" in
art. ! do not imply that Mr..
Peasants thinks the question
so devoid of complication.
However, he is never very
clear on the point.
AS the argument is expanded
in the book, it unfolds like
this: In the past, musicians
wrote music that was in tune
with the cultures in which
they lived and which, enjoyed
by the people for whom it was
written, was in demand. To-
day, musicians write music for
the sake of art: the product
has no real relationship to the
society in which it appears:

fetal. and since there is no
