II r IIKRIKTT4 M. It KES,
MR usual holiday lull In musi
cal affairs this year reminds
one very much of the calm
which precedes the storm, for
It will soon be followed by a
T
period of as great musical ac-
tlvlty as our city has ever known. Re
cltals, concerts of all sorts and opera
seem to be clliowlng each other for places
upon the calendar. It speaks well for
Omaha that this is so. It Is good to be
able to hear the greatest artists of th
world and to appreciate the supreme
heights to which they have attained. It
Is good to hear our local musical people
and to know the ability of those who live
among us and the opportunities they
offer nesr at hand. HJs a good thing to
be a good listener, and to attend concerts
as often as possible. One becomes ac
quainted with a greater variety of musi
cal expression, gains a broader outlook
of the art, and gradually appreciates
more and more the fine points of it all.
All of these things are of great value in
the community and do their part In the
cultural life of our city. But In our
enjoyment of the great things that come
our way let us not lose sight of that
greatest musical Influence of all, which
Is found in earnest Individual effort. Let
us not be content to be mere listeners,
but let us also be Interested devotees of
some form of the art. There Is a great
enjoyment to be had from Just paddling
In the water, which becomes more and
more exhilarating as one learns to swim.
There are many who are fond of swim
ming who do not expect to become cham
pion. If all those who are fond of music
would try to do something Individually
In a musical way, would try to play or
sing better and a little more frequently,
not necessarily for others but for them
selves. To study If possible, not to be
come professional musicians necessarily
kut to keep themselves going and to
gain the more enjoyment from It. To
enter some form of ensemble music. Just
to broaden ones repertory, and for the
pleasure of It.
If every one who Is fond of music ac
tively Indulged this fondness for his
own pleasure after the day's grind Is
over, it would do much toward making
Omaha a musical center. A musical cen
ter Is a place within which, not through
which, there Is great musical activity.
Hearing great artists Is lino glimpsing
th end of the rainbow. It should be an
Incentive to greater efforts perhaps not
to reach the end of the rainbow Itself
but to stay upon Its path. To be a good
listener is a good thing. To be a good
listener and an enthusiastic disciple as
well Is a better one.
M. Saint Paens, recently wrote an ar
ticle upon the San Francisco exposition,
part of which Is reprinted In the New
Muslo Review. While there he heard
tha Boston Bymphony orchestra, and con
ducted the Exposition Orchestra, and
spoke highly of them both. The follow
ing Is Interesting. "I had to contend
with only one fault, which la nearly gen
eral today, but was carried to an extreme
by the flno orchestra from Boston. Fifty
year ago orchestras always played too
loud, today It Is the reverse. As soon
as the Indications 'piano' and 'diminuendo
appear everything fades away. , Melodic
phrase era no longer sung; a mass of
Important details passes unperceived.
Like fortissimo the pianissimo should be
exceptional, and then It produces a great
effect, but Its abuse In a large hall Is
a mistake. I have demanded this ex
treme 'pianissimo' at the beginning of
the Adagio In my symphony, and also
the suppression of the "vibrato,' the con
stant use of which la one of tha evils
of modern Interpretation. It also should
be exceptional and reserved for emo
tional passages."
These remarks could apply in a gen
eral way to all musical Interpretation.
In my own observation, two of the most
neglected parts of Interpretative work are
the diminuendos and crescenjos, and It
I these es much es the extremes of th
dynamic scale, which give vitality to
tha muslo.

The Nesh-Hemlln concert scheduled for
4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, January SO,

Word has Just reacted here of the trl
umph scored by George Hamlin In "The

fourth successive season with the opera
company and his place In that work ia
becoming aa well recognised as In the
recital field. Mr. Hamlin will contribute
about a doien aongs to the program for
the January recital and those who ap
preciate the "real" know how Mr. Hamlin
ia always working to expand the border
of Ms artistic vision, know that con
scientious adherence to high artistic
standards and fine musicianship ere, in
part, the qualities which have gained for
Mr. Hamlin the profound respect and
admiration of critics and conductors
throughout this country and Europe.

if Paderewskl's career as a virtuoso
haa been unique In the annals of music,
so also may be called his preparation
for that career. If the usual virtuoso,

beyond the reach of any but the most
gifted amateurs. By 20 he is a full
fledged artist with his career made or
Irretrievably maimed. Paderewskl him
self tells us that when he was 16 his
technique was so Inadequate that he was
always forced to make Improvisations of
his own In hard passages, hoping that
none of his audience would be the wiser.
It was not until he Was 24 that he set
himself seriously at the gigantic task of

In 14 Paderewskl was a poor, unknown
musician whose threadbare clothes dif
fered no whit from the thresdbare clothes
of thoucends of other poor, unknown
musicians that swarm the streets of Ber
lin and Vienna. His own friends did not
suspect the genius that lay within him.
Four years later Vienna. Berlin and
Paris were talking of the marvelous
Pole, wh6 was giving a new message of
beauty with his r'ano. Two years more,
London fought to attend his recitals, and
In 1W1 he began the series of triumphant
tours of America, the like of which
never have been seen.
Paderewskl wss not horn with a silver
spoon In his mouth. His father, a pros
perous farmer In Rusi-an Poland, was
exiled to Liberia when Ignace wa a
child. His mother had died in hi In
fancy, t'ntll wealth began to flow In on
him in the late '80s he had known only
poverty of the severest and most dis
couraging kind. He ha had one year
of blissful married life. Ills wlfa had
died, leaving him an infant son. He had
given up all idea of becoming a pianist,
and it was not until his friend, Helena
Modjeska, encouraged him that he de
cided to go to Vienna and work seriously
at the piano. The amount of work he
did In the three years he was In that
city Is appalling, and ft speaks volumes
for his strength and endurance that he
lived to tell the tale of it. We learn from
his friend, Dr. Alfred Nosslg, that he
was at his piano morning, noon and night
playing scales, scales and then again
scales. Only thus was he able to gain
( nla end and 'when he made his debut he
was a complete vortuuso armed at an
points.
Faderewskl Is making his tenth tour
of America. During the months he is in
this country he will ptay upward of
eighty times, and it I assured that his
success will be as sensational now as it
haa been In the past.
