This volume is a partial record of various papers delivered at that meeting, as well as the official record of reports given and business transacted at the three plenary sessions. Papers published herein have been lightly edited for certain stylistic consistencies but otherwise appear largely as the authors presented them at the meeting. This page intentionally left blank KEYNOTE SPEECH AMERICAN MUSIC AND THE FUTURE GERARD SCHWARZ Music Director, Seattle Symphony Today I will talk about two major things. One is American music, which is so important to me and to all of you, and the other is the future. There has been so much doom and gloom aroimd the symphony orchestra field, but certainly not here. I thought I'd tell you why it is not here, at least as I see it; and what we all can do together to foster the extraordinary audiences that exist throughout our coimtry. When my wife and I were being interviewed about twelve years ago for the Seattle Times, our three-year-old daughter was around. They wanted a picture of the three of us together (our son not yet bom), and the writer for the Seattle Times, Melinda Bargreen, said to my daughter, "Do you like music?" "Oh, I love music." "Well... do you know composers?" "Oh yes, I know composers" (a very precocious three year old) "Well, who are your favorite composers?" "Beethoven and Diamond." Melinda laughed, as of course we all did, but it was a very interesting comment, wasn't it? Beethoven of course—^but David Diamond? Why would she say David Diamond? Well how could she know the music of David Diamond? She Imew David Diamond because he often came to our house and she cared about him and she cared about his music. She didn't know that she wasn't supposed to love his music as much as that of Mozart, Brahms, Schubert, or Schuman; it's all about how we are brought up. It's about great music and it's about who touches us—a teacher, an institution, our guides. I thought I'd give you a little history about how 1 came to do all these recordings of American music. It happened when I went to The National Music Camp, as it was called in those days, now it's called Interlochen Center for the Arts. I was twelve and my mother (who should have known better, being a psychiatrist) put me on a train from New York—thinking that it would be good for me to get away from home. It was a twenty-four-hoirr train ride and I'd never been away from home... going from New York to Traverse City with a change in Chicago or someplace. Of course I was hysterical and homesick when I arrived at Interlochen. I discovered that actually I was a pretty decent trumpet player, which I didn't know; coming from the toAvn of Weehawken, New Jersey, who would have known? Of course, the level of trumpet playing at Interlochen in the intermediate division that year was dismal, and I got to be the first trumpet, which I never should have been. One of the pieces that we played was the Sibelius Second Symphony and it said, "trumpet in F." What is a "trumpet in F"? My trumpet's in B flat, I don't know about "trumpet in F"! Needless to say, I didn't execute the part exceptionally well, but it was that piece and that summer that inspired me to want to be a musician. I tumed thirteen that summer and decided from that moment on that I would be a musician and I would be a trumpet player. My father and mother were Viennese doctors and in disbelief that this was happening to their family. It was all their fault anyway, because they started me on piano when I was five, and I would go to concerts in New York—^the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera, New York City Opera, New York City Ballet, and so forth from the time I was very young. So I always would have to blame them or give them credit, let's say, for what ever happened later in my life.
