  • The Macdowell Colony at Peterborough
    THE MACDOWELL COLONY AT PETERBOROUGH By EDWIN CARTY RANCK Downloaded from GROUP of scientific and dogmatic gentlemen once argued solemnly and emphatically that it would be impossible A for a vessel propelled by steam to cross the Atlantic Ocean. It had never been done before; it could not be done now. Un- http://mq.oxfordjournals.org/ fortunately, however, in the very midst of their arguments, word came that one of these "new-fangled" steamships had crossed the Atlantic. I have always regretted that I could not have been there with a pocket kodak to take snapshots of those conscientious objectors arguing against the possibility of a thing that was happening. "Well, what is the moral?" asks somebody. Of course, there must be a moral and there must always be somebody that wants a at New York University on May 10, 2015 moral. So I am going to give the moral first, as a sort of intro- duction to this article. Here it is: Don't argue that a thing can't be done until you find out first whether it has been done. And even then don't be too sure, for some one might do it. The world moves swiftly nowadays! And if you ever hear a little group of conscientious musical and literary objectors arguing, with the cocksure tone so common to musical and literary objectors, that no creative art can ever •come out of a "colony," you can silence their arguments by the simple question: "How about the MacDowell Colony at Peter- borough, N. H.?" If they know anything at all about the Mac- Dowell Colony, they will be forced to qualify their objections with "Well, of course, that is the exception!" And if they don't know anything about the MacDowell Colony, you can tell them how the dream of an American musical genius has come true and what a radiance it sheds upon the lives and work of American creative artists.

    ARTHUR FARWELL: PIANO MUSIC, VOLUME ONE by Lisa Cheryl Thomas ‘he evil that men do lives ater them’, says Mark Antony in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar; ‘he good is ot interred with their bones.’ Luckily, that isn’t true of composers: Schubert’s bones had been in the ground for over six decades when the young Arthur Farwell, studying electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, heard the ‘Uninished’ Symphony for the irst time and decided that he was going to be not an engineer but a composer. Farwell, born in St Paul, Minnesota, on 23 March 1872,1 was already an accomplished musician: he had learned the violin as a child and oten performed in a duo with his pianist elder brother Sidney, in public as well as at home; indeed, he supported himself at college by playing in a sextet. His encounter with Schubert proved detrimental to his engineering studies – he had to take remedial classes in the summer to be able to pass his exams and graduated in 1893 – but his musical awareness expanded rapidly, not least through his friendship with an eccentric Boston violin prodigy, Rudolph Rheinwald Gott, and frequent attendance at Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts (as P a ‘standee’: he couldn’t aford a seat). Charles Whiteield Chadwick (1854–1931), one of the most prominent of the New England school of composers, ofered compositional advice, suggesting, too, that Farwell learn to play the piano as soon as possible. Edward MacDowell (1860–1908), perhaps the leading American Romantic composer of the time, looked over his work from time to time – Farwell’s inances forbade regular study with such an eminent igure, but he could aford counterpoint lessons with the organist Homer Albert Norris (1860–1920), who had studied in Paris with Dubois, Gigout and Guilmant, and piano lessons with homas P.

  • THE CLASSIC CHOPIN by JAMES HUNEKER
    THE CLASSIC CHOPIN By JAMES HUNEKER HAT Chopin is a classic need not be unduly insisted upon; he is classic in the sense of representing the best in musical Downloaded from T literature; but that he is of a classical complexion as a composer from the beginning of his career may seem in the nature of a paradox. Nevertheless, it is a thesis that may be successfully maintained, now since old party lines have been effaced. To battle seriously for such words as Classic or Romantic http://mq.oxfordjournals.org/ or Realism is no longer possible. Cultured Europe did so for a century, as it once wrangled over doctrinal points; as if the sal- vation of mankind depended upon the respective verbal merits of transubstantiation or consubstantiation. Only yesterday that ugly word "degeneracy," thank" to quack critics and charlatan "psychiatrists" figured as a means of estimating genius. This method has quite vanished among reputable thinkers though it has left behind it another misunderstood vocable—decadence. at University of Manitoba on June 9, 2015 Wagner is called decadent. So is Chopin. While Richard Strauss is held up as the prime exponent of musical decadence. What precisely is decadent? Says Havelock Ellis: Technically, a decadent style is only such in relation to a classic style. It is simply a further development of a classic style, a further specialization, the homogeneous, in Spencerian phraseology, having become heterogeneous. The first is beautiful because the parts are . subordinated to the whole; the second is beautiful because the whole is subordinated to the parts.. Swift's prose is classic, Pater's decadent.
