MohIer Centenary
Marked on Discs

stereo will discover still
further recommendations.
The Mahlerian values of
the newest recording tech
nology are demonstrated on
a still larger scale in another
Reiner-led Chicago offering,
the most accepted of NAH
ler's magma opera, Das Lied
Won der Erde. Aside from
the lack of stereo, Bruno
Walters celebrated edition
featuring the late Kathleen
Ferrier would have seemed
self-sufficient for the pres
ent, and Maureen Forester,
who bears the contralto
chore for Victor, stands con-
siderably short of effacing
the poignant Ferrier imprint.
But the mere size of NAH
ler's gigantic lied" needs an
unconventional mechanism,
and the new recording me-
dium fills the bill spectacu-
larly.
Warming Climate
Richard Lewis as Miss
Forrester'S tenor counter
part also fills his own role
satisfactorily in a highly
satisfying enterprise. Pur-
chaserS are entitled to an
unwarped and meticulous
pressing superior to the copy
sampled, however.
If Mailer from the Wen
nese Reiner is not surprising.
it is certainly symptomatic
of the warming Mahlerian
climate when a coupling Of
the Kindertotenlieder and
Lieder zines fahrendon GeSel-
len arrives from Boston.
That Munchian Mailer still
sounds like Mahlerian Mailer
is also emblematic of the
perilS of musical chauvinism.
maestro Munich, however. it
might be worth remember
ing, is AlSatian)
Miss Forester, who will be
recalled as the SoloiSt with
Bruno Walter in the Colum-
bia Resurrection" symphony
recording, appears on the
road to becoming a Mailer
specialist. With Flagstad,
Ferrier and Fischer-DieSkau,
among others, variously pitted
against her on competitive
discs, she proves an energetic
and often compelling vocal
protagonist in the Boston
efforts, although it would be
hard to call them definitive.
The hard work, of course. is
predominantly Miss For
reSter's.
The big, sprawling, melan-
choly and voiceleSs ninth
symphony, premiered after
the composers death by DR..
Walter, makes a sonic tour
de force of formidable dimen-
Sions in a tWo-disc Everest
album led by Leopold Lud-
wig, another evidence of the
value of Stereo in Mahlerlan
discipleship. What the year
will bring from DR.. Walter
remains to be seen, but the
future for Mailer admirers
can only be promising.

American soldiers based in
their country.
So it is clear the base struc-
ture is in a continual state of
fluX. William E. Lang. boss
of the Office of Foreign Military
Rights. continually reviews the
need for bases and recommends
that they be kept or abandoned.
There are people in the
Pentagon who say existing
policies should be or could be
changed. Some air generals
for instance, will say that the
ultimate protection of our allies
lies in the ability of the big
missiles and bombers to deter
aggressions, so money spent for
bases could better be spent on
the Strategic Air Command
And some admirals say mod
ern fleets can keep the peace or
fight wars without forward
bases.
But the majority view in all
services and among the civilian
bosses is that, these parochial-
ismS aside, balanced military
force close to the front lines is
necessary.
There has been criticism that
the base policy gives too much
emphasis to military co-opera-
tion abroad while economic
political and physiological,
measures are neglected. Fewer
bases and more economic anc
political aid would secure the
fringe areas more effectively ir
the long run, it is argued.
An "Old Vests" Function
The official answer is thai
most of our forward allies are
living in an era similar to thai
in this country during thu
opening of the West. II
Southeast Asia, as in the ole
West, the army keeps order
builds roads, introduces sani'
tation and provides leadership
Working through the armies il
the only way to get things done
Another dissenting view i
that if America doesn't pull ou
of its foreign bases, it will b.
forced out. For instance, ever
with a security treaty with ia
pan, rioting and sabotage o
friendly government viii max
use of the bases impossible
} Also, if any Southeast ASH
} bases are once used for nuclea
war, the host countries are Ii
able to panic and demand with
., drawal of all American troops
The official answer is tha

, , ments of policy, the bases loo
secure for a long time. TIL

TEACHING THE YOUNG
William French. of Alex
andria. Va. writes enter
tainingly his approval of my
disgust with the way most
children are taught their first
lessons at the piano. He says
that to judge a performance
of Bach "by all the tradi-
tional standards of good
piano playing" (as the judges,
of whom Edwin Hughes was
one, did in the recent con-
test sponsored by the Uni
versity Women's Club shows
a debased taste such as
would Judge a performance
of the Mozart clarinet con-
certo by all the traditional
standards of good alto-saxo-
phone playing"
Poor though they are, Mr..
Hughes arrangements of the
classics for children are far
from the worst study-ma-
terial that today is the curse
of the young student who has
no recourse from the au-
thority of the ubiquitous
"piano-teacher." I am GER
tain there must be good text
books in music for the young,
but 1 shudder when I see
those my own children bring
home and those on the racks
of my friends pianos. Ignor-
ance is tempered only with
the groSsest vulgarity.
Grade school English
teachers, having had to pass
some examination, however
elementary, would not in
form their charges that the
first no;.n n a sentence is
always she subject, yet it is
common practice to confuse
children with the miSin-
formation that the first beat
in the bar is the strong beat,
so play the first note louder"
Many of the most widely
used children's piano primers
are simply illiterate, uni
dramatically written and
filled with tunes and har-
monies that. in an attempt
to hold the interest" of a
child, merely. as I can attest
in some cases, make him
wonder whether music is very
much fun after all.
1t is curious that the be-
lief survives that you must
attract a child with the silly
to make him progress eventu-
ally to the beautiful.

BY DAY THORPE
Star Music Critic

My slightly jocular but not
unfriendly comments Ia st
week on the new grants of
the Ford Foundation should
be supplemented by others
showing how the grants
are awarded and the high
minded and commendable
philosophy that motivates
the gifts. OF the adverse
criticisms of the modern ell
eemosynary foundations, two
often seem valid-that they
prefer to distribute large
sums because there is too
much investigation involved
in the distribution of many
small ones. and that they
show little imagination in
choosing projects to be aided,
failing to adapt their lar
gesse either to the require
ments of the recipient or to
needs so esoteric, though
worthwhile. that they would
not be met by other agen-
cies-by government, for ex-
ample, or by business. The
present Ford benefactions
are certainly not open to
either criticism.
There is apparently a min
imum of red tape, of stipula-
ton, of restriction connected
with the Ford grants. four
teen of which have just been
announced. and a limited but
unspecif1ed number of which
will be made next March.

Eligible for consideration are:
creative artists wishing to

associated with nonacademic
institutions in the arts, such
as museums, theaterS, and
orchestras; and critics or
