The two main events in
Washington music this week
are the second appearance Of
the Opera Society Of WASH
ington. which presents two
Menotti operas at Lisner
Wednesday and Thursday. and
William Walton's Facade"
conducted by Russen Woollen
and recited by Dame Edith
Sitwell at the Corcoran CAL
lery.
The Menotti double feature
opens with his early opera
The Old Maid and the
Thief" with q cast which in
cludes Adelaide Bishop, Eu-
nice Alberts. Robert Rue and
Ellen Fault. Although it was
written for radio in 1899. it Is
a comedy in which visual en-
tertainment takes no small
part. The elaborate set has
been designed by James War
ing of Catholic University
(who directs the work as we'll
and who has designed the set
for the companion opera. The
Unicorn. the Gorgon and the
Manticore") and executed by
Thomas Nelson. Paul Gala

certain that such productions

very successfully. the difficult
ties of the vocal writing, the
orchestration. and any suitable

TURNTABLE TALK
New Symphonies Help
Boston Celebrate

whether the composers would
prefer hearing them played by
any other orchestra.
Piston's fourth symphony
came into the world six years
ago, but 1t came to records
only recently on Columbia
disc. This is a virile. invigor-
ating score. full Of lively
effects. The specifically Ameri-
can element here is the sugges-
ton Of a country fiddler in the
dance-like second movement.
The first movement is marked
with an unpretentious ''piace-
vole" (pleasant), which is a
clue to the high degree of
listenability built into the
whole symphony.
The companion on this rec
ord. which is exhilaratingly
played by the Philadelphia Or
chestra and Eugene Ormandy,
is the sixth symphony Of Will
liam Schuman, the 41-year -old
New Yorker whose surname
sometimes acquires an extra
letter from his unrelated Saxon
antecedent, Robert. This is
music Of considerable intensity,
q feature aided by its con-
struction in a single continuous
movement. To one listener,
it Is less Immediately appeal
ing than the more fortnight
music Of Piston.
Howard Hanson's symphony
built around Easter, "Sinfonia
Sacra," and another one-move-
ment symphony, Samuel Bar
ber's first. have been coupled
on a disc from Mercury.
The Hanson conception OF
Easter is a rather far cry from
some more familiar ones. and.
to be quite honest, / find the
intended theme rather hard
to identify. But this does not
prevent this rather short work
from being effective. The even
briefer choral orchestral
"Cherubic Hymn" a piece
based on rites OF the Eastern
Orthodox Church, is an In
teresting companion piece.

been around for l3 years now

TURNTABLE TALK
BY JAMES G. DEANE

How many Americans pay
much heed to serious Ameri-
can composers?
Not very many. one suspects.
How often. after all. does one
hear a native-born symphony
at a concert? Even in a city
whose symphony orchestra has
won commentators for its
Loyalty patriotic programming.
the opportunities are limited.
Brahms and Beethoven must
be served and there is only so
much room left overland only
so much tolerance on the part
OF the board OF directors.
Maybe. though, records will
start making amends. The
record makers at least are
beginning to make more Amer
ican handiwork available.
At hand is a disc from Victor
"a company that doesn't in
dulge in such boldness very
often-which must give par
ticular encouragement to the
two composers involved. 1t
contains two symphonies COM
missioned for last years 50th
anniversary celebration OF the
Boston Symphony Orchestra.
played by that distinguished
organization under its musical
director, Charles Munich. One
is by Walter Piston. the other
by Czech-born but now Ameri-
can-resident Bohuslav Mar
tinu.
The Piston symphony is his
sixth. and so Is Martinu's.
Neither is a radical work. Both
composers have been willing
to work within the frame Of
tradition. With Piston, the
tradition is bound UP with New
England. His symphony has
appeal, but 1t is not the gush-
ing, sentimental kind. The
scherzo is the most obviously
American movement; II is al
most jazzy. Piston's workman
ship. as usual. is shperb.
Martinu's piece. actually
labeled Fantasies Sympho-
niques." is freer in design. Its
-ljmbed melodies at times
vSsdely suggest Sibelius, al
though the music is leaner.
Both symphonies are attrac-
tIIe. and 1t Is TO be doubted

Thereupon. Mr.. Olefsky at

another string-quite a feat.
when you consider that he
plays gambia only once in a

The wonder is not that the

that it was negotiated at all.

which I paid no interest. The
company merely, gave me $3.50
and I paid them back $500 in
installments. Is the $40 deduct
ible as interest?
A. Yes. Very often loan inter-
est is deducted in advance as
a discount instead of added to
the loan as interest. But the
tax law views the discount as
similar to interest.
But note that for cash basis
taxpayers. as most Of us are, the
discount is deductible only when
the note is paid. not when the

You are on page two of your
income form, itemizing your de-
auctions.
Today's column completes
hints on deductions for contri-
buttons and begins tax-savings
guides on deductions for interest
and taxes.
@. How much can I take as
contributions in one year?
A. You can, of course, deduct
only the amounts paid. While
there is an overall limitation,
this generally affects very few
iof us. No person can deduct
more than 80 per cent of his
adjusted gross income. OF this
80 per cent, you may deduct up
to 20 per cent of your adjusted
gross income for gifts to any
charity you favor. The next 10
per cent must consist of contri-
buttons to schools, churches or
hospitals.
@. Last year in payment of
ia 5000 pledge I had made.
gave my church stock which
cost me 500 but was worth
5000. Do I have to report the
500 profit?
A. No. You can deduct the
5000 assuming this doesn't ex-
coed your Imitation as a chart
table deduction and do not have
to include the 500 profit as
income. This is an exceedingly
sound way to contribute to
charity, for you get the benefit
OF the 500 increase in value
and pay no tax on the $500.
Charity Deductions
@. run a small dry goods
store. Last year I gave the local
charitable organization mer-
chandise which cost me $1,000
but which l normally would sell
for $l,750. How do / handle
this?
A. The latest proposed Treas
ury rules provide that you can
claim a charitable deduction of
Sl,750 but can't deduct the pur-
chase cost of $1,000.
c. pledged $500 to my church
in December but didn't send
the money until January. Can
I deduct the contribution on
my 1856 return?
A. No--a charitable contribu-
ton is deductible only in the
year paid. You will have to wait
until you file for 1857 to claim
your deduction.
@ mailed my 500 contribu-
ton on December 81. The charity
cashed it in January. Must
wait until 1857 to claim the
deduction?
A. No--when you drop in the
mails a check in properly
addressed and stamped envelope.
you are considered to have paid
the contribution. You can there
fore claim the contribution in
1856, according to a court deci-
sion.
