Transferred From Rolls
The first three LIPS we're
transferred from rolls to
tapes to discs by means of
another Welte invention, the
'VorsetZer," or "sitter-in-
front" In Hollywood, recent
ly, this complicated musical
robot was rolled up to a Stein
way concert grand (the very
one Artur Rubinstein uses on
his West Coast tours). With
its incredible fingers" the
''Vorsetzer" played these rolls
on which had been faithfully
recorded the notes, dynamic
pnr a sing pedallng, and,
miraculously and unmistaka-
bly,, the individual interpreta-
tons of these master pianists
and famous composers.
Hi-fi-wise, it is literally true
that this double triumph of
automation spanning half a
century has to be heard to be
believed.
How, then, could Gould and
Sell, an outstanding pianist
and an outstanding conductor,
have found the records dis
turbing"?
Well, the virtuoSoS of half a
century ago, and before, often
took extravagant liberties
with scores. This was, you
might say, expected of them.
They cut, expanded, deco
rated, elaborated upon, even
rewrote. It was the great
Josef Holman - 1S76-1957-
who, with a faithfulness to the
printed note as remarkable as
his prodigious technique,
started the reversal Of that
trend. But it took a long time
for the preSent-day near
mania for fidelity to scores to
become widely established.
Therefore there are, in
these records, some things a
1868 ear can scarcely credit.
Pachmann as Clown
Pachmann ends Chopin's
familiar C-sharp minor Waltz
with a mawkish, clownish
ritardando, and, without no
ticeably improving upon Cho-
pin, he plays a cadence of his
own deep in the D-flat middle
section. His performance Of
Chopin's wonderful little OPP.
GA No. / should have been
labeled "a Free Fantasy on
the Minute Waltz" He was
sometimes called "the worlds
greatest Chopin player" but l
found these two samples, in a
word, grotesque. Teresa Car
reno's Nocturne in G struck
me as immeasurably more
beautiful Chopin, and l mar
veled that Busoni could make
the grievouSly overplayed
"Raindrop Prelude" continu-
Ously interesting.
But note one way, apart
from a meltingly singing tone,
in which Busoni achieves this
feat he plays the repeat
of the middle Section-meas-
ureS "a through 50-with a
m assive fortissimo-"fff."
Now this passage is marked
pianO-"p"-in every Chopin
edition l own or have ever
seen. This is gross tampering
with a composers intentions,
but hang me for a romanticist
if l don't love Ferruccio's
ferocity.
Gabrilowitsch plays Che
pins little B-minor Mazurka
as if he hadn't bothered to
look at the score for a couple
of decades.

them "a miracle of modern
technology; ''reopened cot.
fers Of buried treasures of the

stating that he found it diff
cult ''to refrain from cheering
wildly"
Time magazine, ordinarily
anything but praise-prone,
nearly went off its trolley:
These recordings are every
bit as good as they might
have been had the masters
themselves been around to
play for the stereo age"
Leonard Bernstein wrote:
"They are marvelously au-
tn entic, incredible, other

Eugene 0rmandy, Leopold
StOkowski, George Sell, Myra
Hess, and Glenn Gould were
also impressed, but did not 60

Gould found the records
enormously rewarding and
deeply disturbing" Sell

Present Moose Herd
 Reported as Maximum For Browse Conditions =

The present moose herd, esti- mated at 4,50O animals, is consid- cred to be maximum in size for the carrying capacity (food avail able) of the winter range-the critical, factor in moose manage ment, says John B. Hakala, Re- fuge manager of the Kenai Ma tional Moose Range.
 In, highlighting activities of the Moose Range during 1862, which he reports were as usual varied and interesting, Hakala says the estimate of the wintering herd was based on an aerial winter survey, summer calf survey and fall composition count.
 "As many local residents re- call, we had an abundance of snow and sub-zero days in January and February of l962,' the Refuge manager said. Moose had a rough time with several hundred dying of starvation along the coast between Kenai and Clam Gulch. Animals that survived in this area were in poor shape. Aerial moose calf surveys con- ducted during May to June con- firmed this by producing the low est calf production records in many years"
 "Mother Nature came to the rescue with a warm summer that produced bumper crop of hard wood browse" Hakala added. Moose entered the fall and win ter period in a healthy state with plenty of food available. They also appear to be more wary than in past years, as many hunters can testify. After the hunt closed moose moved en masse from their hiding place in hills and spruce forests into fall and winter con- centration areas
 To Grow More Browse
 Moose browse is continually be- ing lost as overbrowsed plants die and underbrowsed hardwoods (willow, birch, aspen and cotton wood) grow out of reach. Hard wood brush is rapidly being killed back as large areas are growing
The Kenai Peninsula cheechako news., 1963-04-19

back to spruce in the 1947 Burn area.
 To offset this loss, Refuge per sonnel are operating four "Cats" on land clearing and range inn provement work to provide future moose browse. Twenty-seven hun dred acres have been treated to date. Also, wide fire lines are being constructed around large areas which will be control l-burned when weather conditions are sa- tisfactory.
 Producing or controlling moose browse by chemicals has been ex- perimental during the past few years, the Refuge manager said. One chemical-"Dybar," Ga pel- letized urea herbicide)-appea to give good results on moist spruce areas, but costs are great. The main advantages of "Dybar" are that it is nontoxic to other forms of wildlifea (including fish) and acts as afertilizer as it's con- centration decreases with the summer rains. Testing of other chemicals is planned for this con- ing year,. 5.
 Production of future forage is active under the current soil and moisture project. Eroded and de- nuded areas are being experi- mented with to determine soil characteristics and chemical pro- perties.
 New Test Plots Planted
 Various types of seeds, meth ods of seeding, and application rates of assorted fertilizers are being tested. In addition to grains and grasses in erosion work, planting native birch seed and willow shoots has been tried. The program will be expanded this growing season.
 Wild rice planted at numerous sites in the fall of 1861 grew well during the 1862 growing season and produced good heads. The seed, however, did not appear to ripen. Apparently the variety of rice tan annual). planted will not reproduce itself on the Range. Lower average summer tempera

TO BENEFIT MUSEUM

HOMER = An auction sale at Homer is being sponsored at 10 am. on Saturday, April 27, by the Homer Society of Natural History in the Old Skating Rink Bldg. Those attending are asked to bring roast moose, salmon spread, hot dogs, or other salable sand wich material. Total proceeds from the auction and sale of food will go toward a fund to build a museum. The British Broadcast ing Go. film on Alaska has been re-scheduled and will be shown on May '.
The Kenai Peninsula cheechako news., 1963-04-19

ture appears to be the limiting factor.
 The biannual check of perman- ent moose browse plots establish ed in 1852 was made in May and October. Browse remaining last spring was the lowest since 1854, but a good summers increase in hardwood production was again recorded in October.
 Sample clipping of browse available in January 1862 ranged from no browse to 468 pounds per acre. Moose require from 4O-60 pounds of feed per day, depend ing on size of animal, to maintain themselves during severe winters. Protein analysis of hardwood browse species varied from SC in the dormant winter period to high of 19pts in midsummer. The quality of forage = percentage of crude protein - decreases as the rate of browse utilization or ov- erbrowsing increases.
 Animals have died of starva- tion with full stomachs due to the poor quality of the feed,' Hakala concluded.
