Carnegie competition is first
for piano-playing professor
By Susan MacDonald
At 56, Harvey Hinshaw thought he
might be too old to compete in the Inter
national American Music Competition. He
was surprised to find that most other
competitors were in their early 30s, he
said.
But the UNL music professor recalled
that when the piano competition began
three years ago, one entrant was older than
he. That was Joanna Harris, widow of
composer Roy Harris, who, coincidental,
had been one of Hinshaw's teachers when
he was a teen.
Hinshaw competed with the younger
musicians, and maybe his extra years of
experience were a benefit. He reached the
semifinals of the competition in New York
City at the end of September, playing the
works of American composer Charles Ives.
The International American Music
Competition is sponsored by Carnegie Hall
and The Rockefeller Foundation. Partici
pants are required to play works written by
20th-century American composers.
The competition is cyclical: it started in
1978 with a competition for pianists,
followed the next year by a competition
for vocalists. Violinists compete in the
third year of the cycle. Hinshaw competed
in the first year of the second cycle.
Three-stage show
The competition has three stages: pre
liminary auditions, a semifinal round and
the final round held a day later. The final
round consists of a full recital held in
Carnegie Hall.
Hinshaw, who has been at UNL since
1956, competed in the preliminary rounds
in St. Louis last June. One of 12 semi
finalists, he played in a Carnegie Hall
audition for a live audience, which was
covered by cable television.
After the last semifinalist had played,
Hinshaw said he and the others sat in the
first row of the hall, waiting for more than
an hour while the judges deliberated.
Anderson speech Wednesday
When John B. Anderson began his trek
toward the Republican presidential
nomination in 1980, his greatest appeal
appeared to be with college-age voters.
As their first nationally-recognized
speaker this semester, University Program
Council officials hope Anderson's youth
appeal is still strong.
"I think he appeals to the student, and
hopefully he can give some insights into
the last presidential campaign," said Paul
Ecoffey, chairman of Talks and Topics of
UPC.
Anderson's 7:30 pjn. speech is
scheduled for the Nebraska Union Centen
nial Room. Although Anderson will discuss
"The Future of American Politics,"
Ecoffey said the speech could encompass
any number of topics, depending on the
direction Anderson takes.

When the judges returned and one of
them stood on stage to make the
announcement, Hinshaw said he knew he
hadn't made the finals before the names
were read. The judge was holding a piece of
paper with the names written on it, and
with the light shining through, Nothing
looked like Harvey Hinshaw backward," he
said.
The competition was eventually won by
Randall Hodgkinson of Cambridge, Mass.
Hinshaw said he was disappointed he
didn't advance to the finals, but added that
he may enter again, doing a few things
differently next time.
Musical family
Hinshaw said he became interested in
the piano when he was 5. Although he
didn't have a regular teacher for two years,
he said an older brother and his mother
taught him how to read notes. All of his
five older brothers have done something
with music, he said, although only one has
stuck with it professionally.
A native of Pasadena, Calif., Hinshaw
attended Pasadena Junior College for two
years, and then switched to Occidental
College in Los Angeles. Although he
changed majors three times, he graduated
from Occidental with a degree in music in
1949.
"I graduated a music major, but I still
didn't know what to do," Hinshaw said.
For several years thereafter, Hinshaw
worked as an accompanist, with such stars
as John Charles Thomas and Igor Gorin. He
received his master's degree from the Uni
versity of Southern California in 1956 and
came to UNL.
When the next International American
Music Competition rolls around, Hinshaw
said he will be ready.
"I'll have the material ready sooner, and
will use some of the same," he said. "A lot
of my success is due to my own interest in
American music."
and Wednesday he could comment on
that," fccotiey said.
"We also wanted to keep it simple so it
would appeal to a large number of people
instead of a specific group."
Anderson chose to run an independent
campaign and finished third to President
Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter with a
total of 6 percent of the total vote. Ander
son gathered 7 percent of the vote in
"As far as I know, he has done a limited
number of lectures," Ecoffey said. "He's
not a major lecturer."
Anderson's stay in Lincoln will be high
lighted by a class lecture, a taping at the

and a
3 a press conference.
Tiia tntal mst for eettinc Anderson
here was $5,000, which is about the aver
age for a top speaker " Ecoffey said. 'But
we feel his speech and the rest will be
worth it."
