W: ' . ? iMmmmmmmm: ' KOUSSEVITSKYIN1974,ACENTENNIALTRIBUTE by Paul Fromm — r The following article is an address which was delivered to the Friends of Tan- glewood on August 8 1974. It is reprinted here by permission of the author, \ / Foundation at who is Director of the Fromm Music Harvard. V ^0 $225 m0m If I were to begin by trying to explain to you in what way I am qualified to speak mm about the work of Serge Koussevitzky, you would immediately notice that I have ml J 5700 one thing in common with my subject: my accent and unconventional use of English syntax. Nearly everyone who has ever come to Tanglewood can quote at least one of Koussevitzky's colorful comments to the Boston Symphony Orches- tra: 'Gentlemen, you play all the time the wrong notes not in time.' eosro/v P WELLESLEY Or when a player who was late to rehearsal slowly made his way to his seat: NOITTHSHOne SOUTH SHORE \ BU/U.MGT0N MALL 'Why not you come in so fast as you go out?' ''•':. jw ' Even those of us who never knew Koussevitzky personally—of whom I regret to say I am one— I did not come to Tanglewood until 1956—are so influenced by the spirit of Koussevitzky which hovers over the Berkshires that we begin to lib\ llHllllij> forget that we did not actually know him. The presence of Olga Koussevitzky and the ongoing projects of the Koussevitzky Music Foundation keep his legacy alive as do the memories of all those who knew him or worked with him, and most of all, the very existence of the Berkshire Music Festival and the Berkshire Music Center. «aS^%£r And so as each year we return to Tanglewood, the Koussevitzky legend persists *<CmMj£%ii§m!}l> and even grows. We compare his musical miracles with our own efforts to carry $250 on what he began, and we start to believe that while he was a magician, we live in a time when miracles seem to be no longer possible. His lingering spirit is intended to inspire us, but instead it becomes a source of bewilderment and frustration. We imagine him bewitching audiences into accepting new music and realize that we are not capable of working such magic spells. Or we persuade ourselves that Koussevitzky lived in a time when everything $1300 conspired to bring him success, and he just happened to be the right man in the right place at the right time. Neither of these estimates—complimentary

    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Roslyn Jhunever Barak Roslyn Jhunever Barak: Song and Spirit: A Cantor’s Life Congregation Emanu-El, San Francisco, 1987-2015 Interviews conducted by Basya Petnick 2014-2015 Copyright © 2017 by the Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by legal agreements between The Regents of the University of California and Roslyn Barak and between the Regents and Basya Petnick, dated April 17, 2017 and April 19, 2017, respectively. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.
