WASHINGTON’S EARLY SUMMER MUSICAL ACTIVITIES
A_______* -
Imagination Is Necessary
For Musician and Student
Colors Attitude and Determines Standing of
the Individual—Cannot Be Replaced by
Scientific Formula in Composition.
By Alice Ever swan.
NAPOLEON once said that
"imagination rules the world"
and in no section of the vari
ous elements that add to the
beauty of the world is this
so true as in music. The use of
imagination in the working together
of the details that eventually produce
perfect music and the power of
imagination in the approach to the
details is what gives to music the
touch of the supreme beauty that
humanity senses but cannot define.
The play of imagination is a mystic
current that binds performer and
listener together in an affinity that
is uniquely the dower of music
Whether one is a music lover, an
artist or a student, the degree of
imagination coloring the attitude
toward music is what determines the
standing of the individual. If one be
but a unit in an auditory capacity,
thp gain to himself will follow tHe
amount of imagination brought to the
listening to music. If one be an artist,
the strength of this quality influences
his rank in a celebrity list. In the
wearisome study of technique, tne
student who employs imagination in
attacking the obstacles is the one
with a future before him. There can
bp no gain to the world if music is
produced without imagination.
Some would have it that music is
a science that can he marie to submit
to an intellectual desire or a scientific
formula Time and again composers
have tried to work at rnusie in this
manner, but the result leans nowhere.
Many times with the master com
posers the wings of the imagination
hat e drooped and refused to carry on
the flight of inspiration, and in these
moments the composer has had re
course to his intellect and written
intelligently and correctly after the
rules of composition. But the measures
evolved are barren of the glow and the
appeal of the imaginative passages
and form only a hiatus to be endured
until the lamp of the imagination is
lighted again.
It is strangely true that one dare
not abandon the use of the imagina
tion at any time in the creation of
music if profit is to be provided for
himself or the listener. A technical
passage loses all meaning no matter ,
how well executed if the idea is not
there to give an impulse of another
kind to its performance. If that
evanescent, visionary quality is-pres
ent, the aura of its meaning precedes
the notes and registers in the mind of
another. To interpret music the imag
ination must bloom to full power if
the picture, the idea or the sentiment
is to detach itself from its musical
form and reveal its true substance in
a way to bring a reaction from the
listener. And to listen to music with
out the aid of the imagination is to
miss all the deeper significance of the
phrases and reap no recompense of

the kind that only such an art can
bestow.
If one approach any problem with
the assistance of the imagination, half
of the solving is already accomplished.
This marvelous faculty with which the
human race is endowed is the basis of
every progressive enterprise which has
improved the conditions of the world.
In music, it is the lever by means of
which the curtain is raised on visions
of beauty, on ennobling thoughts, on
entrancing sounds of another charac
ter than is to be found in any other
connection. To imagination is also
closely allied the desire and the power
of creation. Music, from the moment
the first note is conceived to every re
production thereafter, is creation.
Unfortunately, whether from the
standpoint of a musician or from that
of an enjoyer of musie. the personal
quality of creation is not always al
lowed its freedom. It is so simple to
imitate, either in performance or in
forming an opinion, especially in the
question of music values, and that
frailty Is responsible for much of the
ordinary music that is to be found on
all sides. The individual idea is al
ways recognizable and commands re
spect. even if one does not agree with
it. It is true that one has the right to
an individual opinion only after hav
ing ascertained an accepted viewpoint,
vet many never attempt to pass be- ,
vond the boundary of this first knowl
edge. But if one would claim the title
of artist or be a real force in aiding
music to circulate in our midst, then
must onr cultivate a free play of fan
tasy and permit the ideas and senti
ments that are thus born to be the
cuiding light directing the accomplish
ment of a purpose.
True imagination, totally differing
from a mere indulgence in dreams, is
allied to the reasoning faculty and the
will. The power of this trinity is
boundless and the motivating element
in progression. Resolved to its funda
mentals. the study of music, the inter
pretation of music and the develop
ment of music is based on the use of
the imagination. All the negative
qualities that may seen great in work- '
ing with music disappear under the
influence of the mind aglow with the
visions ol what might be. A "divine
discontent" is engendered that urges
on to new attainments which carry
the allure of a promised land. The
entire color of life, thought and en
deavor is established through the
mental imagery, and art is completely ;
dependent on its force and originality.
The surest way to keep the imagina
tion active in music is by reading. Not
all of us are capable of noteworthy
creation by our own powers, but these
may be stimulated and directed. The
lives of the composers, analytical
studies of their works, are the first
resource which should be supplement
ed by a broadening of interest in
other arts in particular. Poetry aids
in lyric comprehension, prose and
drama, in the emotional, the two ele
ments constantly found in music in
terpretation.
Nor is this solely the privilege of
the artist but is necessary for the
music lover who welcomes the devel
opment of music in a community. The
civic tolerance of a musical program
is not a question of dollars and cents
but of the spiritual influence which
any right-minded citizen will ac
knowledge is obligatory if there is to
be no deterioration. The proper use of
the imagination in art and civic af
fairs repays the world in beauty and
lightens the burdens of this life's
passage.

Symphony Orchestra’s
Summer Concert Series
Problems Confront Leaders, Who Plan
Westgate Programs With Musicians
Playing on Barge on the Potomac.
MUCH conjecture has been ex- i
pressed regarding the pro
posed Summer concerts at
the Watergate by the Na
tional Symphony Orchestra.
It is understood that the Orchestra
Association has faced a serious prob
lem as regards these concerts because
of the fact that their campaign for
fynds did not yield sufficient money
to cover the anticipated deficit on
the Summer series of concerts.
The board of directors of the Na
tional Symphony Orchestra Associa
tion held a meeting last Friday at
which the matter was discussed from
every angle, and a plan was proposed
that holds promise of solving the
problem and making the concerts
possibe. It is anticipated that the re
sults of Its efforts on this new plan
will be known some time during the
coming week, and definite announce
ment regarding the concerts will then
to made.
The tentative plans call for a series
of eight weeks of concerts, starting
June 23. and having two concerts
weekly—one on Thursday night and
the other on Sunday night.
Dr. Hans Kindler will act as gen
eral musical director for the entire
series, but will not conduct the whole
series. Some of the guest conductors
already tentatively engaged for the
series are Antonio Brico. who made
such a favorable impression with her
women's symphony orchestra in New
York last season: Rudolph Ganz. head
of the Chicago Musical College and
for several years conductor of the St.
Louis Symphony (Mr. Ganz is also
a noted concert pianist»: Sandor
Harmati. conductor of the West
Chester festivals, former conductor
of the Omaha Symphony Orchestra,
and a composer of note.
Soloists will be presented at the
concert and C. C Cappel. the man
ager. announces that several very in- j
teresting features that will lpnd them
selves to the unusual setting at the
Watergate will be included on the
program. Dr Kindler has a new type
of presentation for Summer concerts
in mind that will make the program
extremely wide in thrir appeal.

in hand for placing the site in readi

JOHANN STRAUSS
Played in the Authentic Viennese Spirit
by Eugene OrmanJy
and tbe Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
WHETHER you are musi
cally sophisticated, or
whether you simply "know what
you like”, here is your favorite
music! For no other purely in
strumental music, with so much
of the common touch that speaks
to all human hearts alike, has

and over again the exultingly
joyous melodies of:
"The Blue Danube"
"Die Fledermaus” Overture
■ 'Tales from the Vienna Woods"
"The Acceleration Waltz”
"The Gypsy Baron” Overture
And never before have you heard
them to better advantage. Played
in the authentic Viennese spirit,
under Eugene Ormandy, one of
our foremost American conduc
tors, who spent years of study in
Vienna, the homeland of this
music. Recorded by thenew Victor
Higher Fidelity process that brings
to you a realism, a life-likeness of
tone such as has never been heard
outside the living presence of the
actual performers.
