BACH TRUMPET


Thomas Wohlwender, trum-
peter Of the Pro Arte Chamber
Orchestra. will be faced with
one Of music'S most puzzling
and difncult problems when he
appears as soloist In the Sec
ond Brandenburg Concerto
Thursday ct the Arts Club. I
know Of no piece Of music for
any other instrument which 10
far exceeds in difficulty all
other music for that instru-
ment rs the solo trumpet part
Of the Second Brandenburg
exceeds the other music Of
Bach.
The music is for q large
valveless trumpet pitched in F
(although nowadays played on
. smaller instrument with
valves; 1t lies a third higher
than typical Bach bravura
writing as in the B minor
mass; like almost all Of Bach's
trumpet writing 1t is completely
obligato-it never Is In a sub
ordinate position in relation to
the other instruments; and
most Of the time the trumpet is
playing counterpart with q
recorder. an instrument Of deli
cate and evanescent tone. That
the part is possible to play I
suppose 1t is necessary TO grant,
for Bach was practical musi-
clan who always knew what he
was doing. and a genius never
makes mistakes.
Today. however, the inter-
acting. almost superhuman,
dificulties Of endurance. accu-
racy, tone. and ensemble. have
virtually eliminated the Sec
ond Brandenburg, In anything
like its original form, from
the repertoire. Bach's trumpet
part il usually played on q
piccolo trumpet. as shrill as 4
policeman's whistle. or on an
Z nat clarinet las with Pablo
Casals and ToscaninD. or
transposed down an octave
las with Stokowski), or mutt
lated by the terrified trum-
peter.
The part rises 10 the con-
cert q above high c. It Is
impossible 70 transpose the
entire concerto down TO q
manageable tessitura because
the solo violin must play 70
the very bottom note Of It's
register. Neither before or
after he wrote the Second
Brandenbure did Bach com
pose anything else for the p
trumpet. Later composers for

this dull activity q waste of

study hall, he took me out to
the little chapel beside the
Peace Cross and showed me
how to ring the chimes. His
instruction went on for sew
eral months, until finally now
and then I was allowed to play
the chimes oficially, while the
other boys were standing in
line for morning roll call.
1t is interesting to note that
although since that time l have
studied many various instru-
ments with great assiduity, 1
have never been able to play
any Of them at all. I was, how
ever, successfully taught to ring
chimes by my Latin master.

B. C. PREMIER SEEKS RAILROAD TO ALASKA

A three way agreement between British Columbia'S Provincial, Can ada's Federal Government and the U. S. Government to push the Pa cific Great Eastern Railway north to Alaska, was called for by the far western provinces Premier, W. A. Bennett.
 The Premier said U. S. interests greatly interested. He said if all three governments chipped in in extending the railway to Alaska, all three would own the extension. The railway from Dawson Creek and Fort St. John south, however he said, would still be owned by the provincial government.
 The Premier criticized the Fed eral Governments lack of vision in the matter. He read extracts from a letter he said he had re- ceived from Prime Minister St. Laurent two years ago in which St. Laurent said Ottawa doubted the project extension would be economically feasible.
