YOU LEARN a lot from auditions. Last season's Indianapolis Symphony orchestra vocal auditions for the second children's concert showed that too many young Hoosier singers were attempting arias and songs beyond their powers, This season's ‘preliminary auditions, conducted last Saturday at Wilking Music Co. auditorium, showed something similar about instrumentalists. I'm not trying to pick on individuals. After all, even some of those who played badly showed plenty of talent, a fact I wrote down repeatedly in the notebook we judges were given to keep score in, » ” ” THERE WERE several performances of the Tchaikovsky B flat minor piano concerto. I would like to say right now, in the face of possible violent disagreement, that no wise teacher, no wise pupil should prepare for a teen-age mu-

The point is not that Tchaikov- | sky is hopelessly beyond a teen-ager. |The point is that Tchaikovsky al[lows too little margin of safety for

mann or Vladimir Horowitz. I think it's a good thing for a youngster to tackle the Tchaikovsky as an exercise or for semi-private concert appearance in ‘school. I think it's unwise to choose such a difficult task in preparation for first appearance with a professional orchestra. » 5» ONE THING was noticeable in nearly all the piano performances The youngsters do not yet know what playing with a symphony orchestra means, just as a lot of the vocalists last season were obviously unprepared to compete with orchestral volume. On top of technical difficulties, on top of the need for accuracy is the equally great need for power. Power is easier to achieve with an easier composition (Haydn, Mozart, et al), with a concerto the young pianist can, as it were, play

sically vicious notion that the test of a young musician is his ability to play big things. It's up the same alley with the yen kids have to play the “Rhapsody in Blue” before they can handle a Bach two-

TAKE a comparison with basketball. Four out of five Indiana backyards, you might say, have practice baskets. Yet no teen-ager, practicing season in, season out, expects to make the team .in a hurry. It takes time. 80 does music. If we could do away with this child-prodigy-in-the-spotlight nonsense and think of music rather than making headlines, we'd get better results all around. ol What I found genuinely pathetic, not to say tragic, was the fact that some of the kids who played badly could have done much — (better with simpler things. Those kids will suffer, as only teen-agers can suffer, from losing out. “I guess I'm not good enough,” ete. ete. Let's all of us—teachers, pupils, doting parents—be more sensible. Let's be content for little Johnny to learn the Mendelssohn concerto well, even though the Jones kid is prematurely struggling with the Tchaikovsky, We'll get better music in the

Chorus Beauties

By JACK GAVER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 26.—The lights along Broadway are dimmer and the girls in the shows and the cabarets can’t compare to the charmers who were working back in the thirsty twenties. That is the firm opinion of Nils T. Granlund, who ought to know, “The chorus and show girls today have neither the beauty nor personality of the kids we used to

T. G., who has left no phase of show business unexplored in a long career. “The people who put on the shows are to blame. They don’t work at getting the real beauties. They issue chorus calls and expect the right girls to drop in. I never used to bother with chorus calls. “Ziegfeld, White and Carroll used to dig for their beauties, They investigated tips and scouted around diligently. That was the secret of their success.” I Etsy INR it) 113 N. ILLINOIS
