Wcdkly Cotntnetlt on Things
Musical In Discriminating
Philadelphia
THE advertt this year of Leo Ornsteln
at ths recital given by Greta Torpa
dle, tho Swedish soprano, on Thursday
night, when he came over from New
Torlc to play the accompaniments of six
aortra of his own, haa naturally caused
considerable local comment on the music
of this much-talked-of young composer.
Mr. Ornsteln was heard here last Ben
son, when ha gave a Joint recital with
Hans Ktndler and played with him a
sort a to for 'cello and piano, which he
composed for and dedicated to Mr.
Klndler, Ho Is called the "apostle of
modernism" and his huislc. In cacaphony
goes somewhat beyond any yet heard
here, although a young Russian, 8ergo
Proholcleff, Is now agltntlng New York
musical circles with compositions which
ths critics doclare "out-6rnsteln Orn
steln. ALIi this brings up the question as to
what may be the legitimate limit of
musla of this class 7 Where Is the di
viding line between permissible disso
nances and discords that aro not fit to
be heard?
Certainly, judged by present-day
standards, this mualo Is not beautiful:
the next generation may pronounce It so,
but If this Is the case It must be meas
ured by different standards from those
ah now generally accepts. Standards
of beauty, musically, change from time
to time, as regards outward expression,
but the basic element of beauty, upon
Which all art forms are reared, no mat
ter what medium Is employed, do not
change. And the real requirement Is
that the composer must have something
to say which will appeal to a sufficient
number of persons for a sufficient length
of time to add tho workto the perma
nent literature of music.
IN SUPPORT of this theory. It may be
pointed out that Bach's music, now
more than 200 years old, Is probably
played today as much as It ever has
been. Beethoven's symphonies and
sonatoa. composed more than a century
ago, show an Undiminished popularity
(next week Mr. Stokowskl Is giving an
all-Beethoven program) and other
works, such as the three 1788 sympho
nies of Mozart, could be cited.'
The point Is that these men, while
they were undoubtedly "reformers" In a
decided sense, did not break Utterly w 1th
what had gone before them and discard
totally the work of their predecessors,
as do the so-called "ultra-moderns."
They built upoh what hAd been done
before their day, making changes 'only

i
when tho then-existing rules seriously
hampered their form of expression
A LOT of nonsenso Is heard nowadays
about ''throwing an ay tho rules
Which hamper tho genius" of the ultra
modern composers- no matter from Which
country they comb. It Is true that rules
have been broken In the post by print
composers, but It was only after these
men had written strictly nccordlng to
theso' rules- for a long time, and een
then the rules of form were maintained
to n point fchero nn auditor" could tell
at first hearing whether ho was listen
ing to a moscment In .sonata form, a
rondo or any other of the arlous ad
ctted forms'
There Is not on record, to tho best of
tho writer's recollection, a tingle In
stance of a really great composer dis
carding utterly tho rules of composition
nt so early an ago (as a composer) ns
Is done by the present-day musical
Bolshevlkl.
Breaking rules It not to bo condemned
per ne, but before It can be safely done a
thorough mastery of them must bo
shown, and this mastery Is not always
revealed In much of the present-day
modernistic writings.
BESIDES, It Is by no means clear that
tho resources of the classical form
hao as yet been entirely exhausted
Wagner, It Is said, refused to write a
symphony In hl mature yenrs because,
ho claimed, Beethoven had said the last
word possible In this form of music.
This was accepted as Gospel, but al
most a quarter of a century later came
Brahms and Tschalkowsky with Bym
phonlo works which, at the present time,
appear to bo permanent additions to tho
list of the world's great symphonies.
Only time can tell whether the ultra
moderns are right or wrong. That there
Is a germ of , good In what they are
doing, or rather In what they are at
tempting to do, there can bo no doUbt,
but from their musical recklessness artd,
most of all, In their lack of a recogniz
able Ideal, the work of the extremists,
Judged by present standards', may be
regarded almost as a musical aberration.
