He is the third to hold this position in thirty-eight years, Serge Koussevitzky having been the Orchestra's leader for twenty-five years (1924-1949), and Charles Munch having followed him for the thirteen seasons previous to the season now drawing to a close. Although born in Vienna, where he had his first training and experience, Erich Leinsdorf has made this country his home since 1937, in which year he first became a conductor of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Previous to that time he had assisted Bruno Walter and Arturo Toscanini as conductor of the Festivals at Salzburg. He conducted the Cleveland Orchestra in 1943, but was called into service in the United States Army. After the War he became Music Director of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and from 1957 until last year was Conductor and Music Consultant of the Metropolitan Opera. He has conducted many times as guest with the principal opera com- panies and orchestras, here and abroad. CARNEGIE HALL EASTMAN THEATE summed „. the nter intheW' „ concerts.

STEINERT & SONS 162 boylston st. boston • Worcester, springfield — 6 — The joy of Mozart: a joy one senses as enduring; the joy of Schumann is febrile and is felt as if between two sighs. The joy of Mozart is the elusion of serenity, and a phrase of his music is like a tranquil thought; his simplicity is nothing else than purity; it is a thing of crystal; all the emotions are brought into play, but as if by heavenly ordering. "Moderation means to be moved as the angels are" (Joubert). To understand that one must turn to contemplation of Mozart. This thought of joy remains my constant preoccupation.

Nevertheless it is always the horns which give the real touch of beauty to the ensemble. The principal violin is the virtuoso solo instrument in each work. Mozart opens his Divertimento No. 7, which was composed in Vienna in 1773, with a sober melody, largo, as if with a straight face, and suddenly at the ninth bar breaks into a boisterous allegro. Again his mood is quiet with a minuet too legato for dancing, and a trio with the gentlest of melodies. There follows a duet (adagio) for violin and viola, with the lightest bass accompani- ment. The final presto is as lively and full of sudden turns as the first move- ment. A march (K. 290) was added for outdoor performances. PIANO CONCERTO IN E-FLAT MAJOR ("JEUNEHOMME"), K. 271 Mozart wrote this concerto for Mile. Jeunehomme (or, as spelled for visited Salz- Teutonic throats, 'Jenom£ )> a French pianist who presumbly burg in 1777. It was his fourth original concerto for piano. We cannot know whether or not he was moved by the skill of this pianist to extraordinary effort, but the music itself shows a considerable advance over anything he had done in any form. He had already solved the basic problem of the concerto com- bination, but here it acquired its full stature. He struck out boldly, molded his materials at will in untried ways.

Within these limitations the orchestra becomes newly eloquent, closely fused with the piano to the advantage of both. Einstein compared this "monumental" concerto with Beethoven's "Eroica" Symphony for its "orig- inality and boldness." He could have carried the comparison further. It is in the same key and reaches the unprecedented length of thirty-five minutes. It was the case of a young man who took hold of a polite form and poured into it a flood from an astonishingly abundant imagination in such a way that its profusion throughout is compact with fresh beauty. Like the "Eroica," too, the first movement is built on a complex of themes which merge into a con- i tinuous melodic current in development; the slow movement is a deep lament, the finale an outpouring of ebullient strength. It establishes a custom which was to make Mozart the supreme master of the piano concerto—a cluster of six themes in the opening tutti, to be heard from later in varied sequence and manipulation, usually shared with the piano which introduced subjects of its own.

Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment. The certainty of change makes necessary a continuous review of your insurance protection. We welcome the opportunity of providing this service for your business or personal needs.

The national structure grew as people signed the pledge resisting the U.S. government's policies toward Central America. Signals for actions were sent out from the national center to the local groups whose members committed civil disobedience and protested policies seen as interventionist and repressive. Groups which worked closely with the Pledge included the Inter-Religious Task Force for Central America, the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, the American Friends Service Committee, and the San Francisco Bay Area's Emergency Response Network, and Bay Area Pledge of Resistance.

  • What Is Non-Violence?
    What is and who uses non-violent resistance? (note: This workshop is ideally done in partnership with a guest speaker from an International Peace organization in your area. Every community has one, they may be working unobtrusively, but they do exist! Ask at your local Amnesty International group, or through places of worship, grassroots action groups, Rotary Club, Mission Outreach, etc) Introductory Activity ~ Workshop Activity A: Discuss : Ask the children what types of violence exist in the world. (ie. psychological abuse, economic abuse, intimidation, physical violence, racial violence, religious) What is the difference between discrimination and violence? What does non-violence means to them? Ask the children to give examples from their own experiences of non-violence, ie situations where they were either players or spectators of non-violence. Show the short film that can be found on YouTube : “Be the change you want to see in this world! Mahatma Gandhi” 2:06 A must watch video that teaches us that we should not always have to wait for others or things to happen of their own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGyutkBvN2s. Relaxation / Experience Peace: Use quiet music from another ethnic experience. Guide them through imagining another “peaceful situation” ie. Remembering a scene where you either did not respond using nonviolent resistance or that you turned away in order to not respond at all. Now this time, put yourself back into that memory. What was the situation? Location? What was the day like? Weather/ What preceded what you were about to see? What did you witness? Now instead of responding as you did at the time, IMAGINE what sort of nonviolent response you could do.
