Music Explained
NTERPRETATIVE artists are the arteries that carry the life blood of the master out to the farthest capillaries of society. They have to be capable of discriminating . between major and minor, noble and base in a world of symbols before they can bring before us the real nature of a score through which the greater mind has expressed itself. Usually, of course, they work through the piano or organ according to the intention of the composer. When, however, the artist is also a Doctor of Music he may be able to throw an extra light on the nature of a musical composition through words. This I found particularly true of Dr. Galway’s brief 3YC Musical Biography, more especially when he described how one set of instruments in Beethoven’s 9th Symphony announces a theme which is rebuked by another, and progress is made to a point where unanimity of purpose is reached and the Symphony moves on
to its grand final affirmation: A more leisurely and more copiously illustrated series of musical studies along these lines would be of great benefit to all those whose feeling for music is 4s uncertain as their thirst for it is great.
