Implied Promises
The newspaper music critic,
1t seems to me, is primarily
an entertainer. one who ap-
peals to his readers with ex-
actly the same implied prom
ises held out by all other
newspaper writers, except
those dealing in necessary
information.
The critics minimum quail
ifications are two-firSt, that
he have a catholic back
ground Of musical expert
ences, and that hearing a
piece CT music stimulates his
mind and emotion. The Sec
ond is that he write readably.
Thus equipped. he may in
tereSt the reader in q myriad
of ways, and he is a simple
fool if he is perturbed over
structures about whether the
proper subject is the per-
Torrance, the music itself.
the audience reaction or what
not. He has a column to
write. Let him grab the beast
and wiring some kind Of blood
from it. It's up to him to
talk. let him open his mouth.
Any concert whatever pre-
sents a hundred different OPP
portunitieS - let the critic
pick the view that attracts
him and describe it.
Who knows? 1t is possible,
although do not count on it
to happen often, that some
thing a critic writes, some re-
fraction of what attracts or
repels him, may so strike a
reader that ever after there
will be some facet of music
that will sparkle at him with
a new brilliance. For the
critic to strive for a less hum
BILE role as educator or re-
porter is folly.

The Tooth anniversary Of
Robert Schumann's death
occurred on July 20, 1855. but
nothing happening in the
record world close to that
occasion had the commem-
orative significance Of a new
two-disc Columbia recording.
This Is q performance, di-
rected by Sir Thomas Bee
cham. Of Manfred" the
musical adaptation Of Byron's
somber dramatic poem which
Schumann made late in his
career and Of which few ever
have heard anything but the
splendid overture.
Manfred" consists Of is or
Is numbers, some purely
music, others mixtures Of
music and speech which place
the work in the category OF
melodrama, q hybrid general
ly somewhat disdained by
musical scholars.
Such scholars, one suspects.
may lack an ear for poetry.
AS far as Manfred" is con-
cerned, in any case. the sem
sitive listener will find much
in both words and music that
is not only appealing but
quite deeply affecting. Biog-
raphers have seen in the
tragic yet heroic figure Of
Manfred . partial likeness Of
the Inflated Schumann him.
self, and there Is no doubt
that Schumann poured pro-
found emotions into the
music.
He also managed some.
particularly apt orchestral
writing, q pertinent fact in
view Of the criticisms often
leveled at his symphonies.
The overture-one of Schu-
mann's finest pieces - re-
mains the outstanding part
Of the score. But the works
total impact grows with each
hearing.
Schumann discarded APP
proximately half Of Byron's
verses-no great loss, in all
probability. though a ref
erence to the full poem is
useful for background pur-
poses-and he also did some
minor rearranging. A COM
parison with available scores
indicates that Sir Thomas
has made some further al
terations. The order of
scenes in the final act has
been rearranged, and Man.
