KNOPF INC. 201 East 50th St. New York City Dear Miss Becker: I note that the publication date for Artur Rubinstein's new book is near. I thought I would send you this £ote in regard to my broadcasts^ in the even something might be worked out. As the enclosed indicates—I am a concert pianist, having been a scholarship student at the Juilliard with the late Olga Samaroff- Stokowsky, and also having spent a summer with Josef Hofmann. My radio show----- "BERNARD GABRIEL VIEWS THE MUSIC SCENE" has been on the air nearly 7 years now-.....- and I interview such musical figures as: YEHUDI MENUHIN, SIR RUDOLF BING, ERICA MORINI, LILI KRAUS, LEON BARZIN, THOMAS SCHERMAN, EARL WILD, WILLIAM MASSELOS, JOHN STEINWAY etc. etc. I mention the above-------because, I imagine Artur Rubinstein might be tempted to do an interview, since I am a professional musician —and might not just do the usual generalized type of chat with him. My broadcasts are heard by a great many radio stations coast to coast-------via "NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO", and are heard independently over WFUV in NYC every Monday night---------- 9-9:30PM. I should greatly like to talk with Mr. Rubinstein-------but in any everiTwould like to review the book.(l di a great many book reviews on the show, and talk with a variety of authors.) Possibly you would show Mr. Rubinstein this note and the enclosure tank you———and I’d appreciate a word from you.

' Mr. Gabriel has interviewed more than a hundred musical figures so far in his WFUV appearances, among whom were such notables as Yehudi Menuhin, Alicia Markova, Erica Morini, Lili Kraus, Thomas Scherman, Hildegarde, Rosalyn Tureck, Virgil Fox, William Warfield, Fernando Valenti, Sherill Milnes, Henry Pleasants, Jessica Dragonette—and former New York Mayor Robert F. Wagner—to name just a few. “I have been lucky in never coming across a guest at the microphone who has tongue-tied or who answered queries in mono-syllables,” Mr. Gabriel recalls. “Almost every guest has talked readily and without apparent nerves. Once in a while a guest has been uncomfortable with the English language, or has found it difficult to express himself with fluency. This can be a concern, because it easily I Av&usr 12# -/77Z leads to the interviewer ‘taking over’ too much, and to interrupting a slow-paced guest.” Patently, Mr. Gabriel has been commen able to avoid this pitfail, minimizing his tators like Bernard own role in an interview to the point Gabriel have impressive followings. A which led one listener to comment, “Mr. number of Cue readers have communir Gabriel, you have such, a beautiful voice cated enthusiasm fori Mr. Gab and delivery! We want to hear more of riel's "The Music Scene” (illuminating YOU!” interviews with musical personalities with While his WFUV broadcasts are not some related recorded examples—Mon., substantially involved with his teaching, 9 P-m.). ? BERNARD GABRIEL INTERVIEWING Mr. Gabriel is noted for innovations which have resulted in his devising meth ods to make moppets actually enjoy not only lessons, but the practice that goes with them. And he has found in the past few years a growing interest among senior BERNARD GABRIEL citizens to take up music study.
