might be raised to S. billion with
the approval of the President.

Some critics have said Mr..
Mitchell's programs are too
popular" that he concentrates
too heavily on the accepted mas
terworks at the expense Of LESSER
known works. But Mr.. Mitchell
has an explanation for that.
THE public win not accept
inferior music from a superior
composer as much as they will
accept inferior music from an
inferior composer. Take Boz
robin. Nothing Borodin ever
wrote Is as good as the worst
well, almost the worst-of
Tchaikovsky.
''They say I should play
Tchaikovsky's First, Second or
Third Symphonies instead Of
just his great Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth.
Demanded by Public
"Well. Borodin's Second SYM
phony, his best work, Is not as
good as any Of those first three
Of Tchaikovsky's. And vet the
public wants to hear it, while
refusing those early Tchaikov-
sky symphonies"
In all music, Mr.. Mitchell
says. he looks for "the energy,
the same vital force that makes
the world go. that makes things
grow" If a piece doesn't have
it, he says, mo amount Of ar
chitecture. Of finish. can make
it a great work.
That is what he looks for in
both old and new music and that
is what he tries to get from his
orchestra.
