PIANIST TO FEATURE DEBUSSY'S MUSIC

French Artist to Devote Second Recital in Series to Compatriot; Restricted Songs Are Problem

E. Robert Schmitz Was Pupil, Intimate Friend of Noted Composer. BY JAMES THRASHER E. Robert Sshmitz, noted French pianist. Is out to dispel any remaining Ideas that Debussy’s music Is vague or carelessly written. The second in his current series of broadcasts at 1.45 tomorrow' afternoon, by CBS-WFBM, is to be devoted to nis compatriot’s compositions, and will contain critical comments and personal recollections as well. Mr. Schmitz should know

whereof he speaks, for he was a pupil and an Intimate friend of Debussy. He said that Debussy was the most precise musician he ever knew and that his attention to detail amo u n ted almost to a mania. “I remember an occasion in Paris,” the pianist related, “when he stopped a rehearsal

of his opera, ‘Pelleas and Melisande,’ until he could step down from the podium, pick up a pin he had noticed and deposit it in a waste basket.” Speaking of the music, Mr. Schmitz said, “Debussy’s music is so subtle that most people don’t trouble to search for its inner meaning. Time is proving that his detractors were wrong. He is one of the greatest of the moderns, and as a satirist, second to none.” Upholds Thesis To uphold his thesis, Mr. Schmitz has selected the following works to play and comment upon: “The Children’s Corner,” made up of "Dr. Oradus ad Parnassum,” a take-off on dementi’s famous book of exercises; “The Enow Is Dancing"; "Jimbo’s Lullaby” (Jimbo being a little elephant, the son of Jumbo); “Serenade for the Doll”; “The Little Shepherd” and "Golliwog’s Cake Walk.” The second half of the program is to include the “Interrupted Serenade”; the Prelude from the suite, “Pour le Piano,” and “General Lavine-Eccentric.” MUM The program by Frank Black and his string symphony orchestra tonight offers an interesting group of unfamiliar music. The list includes the arioso from Bach's cantata, “Ich Steh’ mit einem Fuss in Grabe”; “Eine Kleine Serenade,” by Trunk; the “St. Paul Suite” for chamber orchestra, by Gustav Holst, and “Rumanian Dances,” by Bartok. The broadcast is to be on the NBS Blue network at 8. Like Schumann, Holst was turned by accident from piano playing to composition. In Holst's case, it was an attack of neuritis during his student days at the Royal College of Music in London that ended his ambitions in the field of concert playing. However, there was an interval in which he became a symphony orchestra trombonist before giving his undivided attention to creating music. Bear Stamp of Folk Songs It would seem that either the advance publicity has made a mistake in the title of Mr. Bartok's composition, or else the famous Hungarian nationalist has shifted his allegience to Rumania. However, all his compositions thus far have borne the stamp of his native folk songs. With the equally well-known Hungarian composer, Zoltan Kodaly, Mr. Bartok carried on a prolonged and enthusiastic research into the music of his own people. The result was the rediscovery, harmonization and publication of more than 1000 folk tunes.

Ban May Halt Broadcasts of Conventions if Wrong Tune Is Used. A headache for network executives will be kepping restricted songs off the air during national political convention broadcasts. The Warner Brothers’ ban remains as strict as when instituted, so if some exuberant delegates burst into a restricted song the convention programs may be cut off the air for a few moments. Part of radio’s restricted music difficulties was settled amicably when the music arrangers’, copyists’ and proof-readers’ strike against music publishers ended. Hoping to force publishers to agreement, the strikers ordered union bands to refrain from playing music published by firms with which the strikers were at odds. a a tt Staging Ed Wynn’s NBC-WEAF (WLW) show at 7:30 each Tuesday night Is a problem for sound engineers. Announcer McNamee,! trained in radio, controls his voice, stands close to his microphone, while Ed, who spent too many years or. the stage to acquire radio technique, shouts his lines, hops around all over the studio stage and insists on facing his audience. Three microphones are used, one in front of Graham, and two on the comedian's script stand. Queer - ly, only one is connected, and this one belongs to Graham. Ed's voice is so loud, the one mike serves for both broadcasters, and the other two merely make the studio audience feel that Ed is not being slighted. The connected microphone is set on rubber sponges, and not on the floor. Because of Ed’s physical activity which he considers necessary to putting over a gag, and Graham’s habit of occasionally stamping his foot for emphasis, this precaution is necessary. These .jars would go on the air as heavy booms, and would distort the performers' voices. n tt n Another Tuesday evening comedian, Walter O’Keefe, CBS < WFBM) at 7, thinks he, too, has troubles. The other evening he was introduced by ace CBS announcer Ted Husing quite plainly as Walter O'Keefe. Several members called him by name during the broadcast. “When the broadcast ended,” Walter recounts, “an old lady came up and begged for my autograph. Flattered, I had my pen poised over the paper when suddenly she said, ’l’ve always admired you so much. I heard you describe the arrival of Queen Marie years ago, and I’ve listened to every one of your programs since then.’ “What could I do? I smiled politely, and signed Ted Husing’s name. Why should I spoil her fun?”
