ANNIE Edgar Thomas writes In
telligently on the disregard so
many singers and players show
for "punctuation." A song, sung
or played, is a story and should
' be given with Intelligent Interpreta
tion the same as If It were, being read
or told. Disregarding the natural
pauses, the natural Inflections and de
flections by which a reading or a spok
en tale is made intelligible Is an Insult
to human appreciation. It amounts to
saying: "You can't understand It any-
' way," or "Try this If you can."
The thought has been put forward In

Music without brains Is only half mua

splendid voices lose their value through
a little want of "gray matter." And
the pity of it is that often the singer
Is not altogether at fault. She may
have had no better instructions; may
not have been shown and may never
'. have grasped for herself that phras
ing and intelligent breathing are nec
essary or even possible in music. All
her attention may be given to tone pro
duction because only of that has she
been taught the importance, and as
- far as sense goes she might as well
go on forever singing the inane "a-a-
a-a-ah," or "o-o-o-o-oh!" Instead of
words that make up an intelligible

Fannie Edgar Thomas writes thus:
"Musicians do not phrase. Singers
do not punctuate. Instrumentalists do
not punctuate. Teachers do not com

N RE IMPORTATION
of Foreign Musicians
,
The Musical Courier has taken up a
laudable, but, probably, a losing fight.
It Is protesting vehemently and con
stantly against the constant Importation
of foreign musicians for all our musical
work where It Is possible to get as good
or better service from horns talent
The controversy Is brought up with
renewed vigor by the case of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra which haa Just im
ported nine musicians from Europe to
fill as many vacancies, minor positions
which could assuredly be filled with
Americans without disparaging the or
chestra's standard at all. The Knelsels,
too, have sent abroad for a second violin
to fill the place In their quartet This
me courier thinks odd since we are
spending thousands every week to em
ploy the best of European teachers, and
are constantly having their best talent
come over to sing and play that the
hearing may be of benefit and are go
ing religiously all the time to symphony
concerts to learn, to listen to and appre
ciate good music.
The condition seems absurd on the
face of it. What Is the use of hiring
Europe's best talent to come over to
instruct us if we can never turn out a
player good enough even for the minor
chairs of an orchestra? In the states
we pay more to hear music and more
for musical instruction per capita than
anywhere In Europe. We import re
nowned teachers; we study only Euro
P4m works and place the ban on Am
erican compositions; and yet our mu
sicians have to go to Europe to gain
recognition. Many who cannot make a
meager living here are succeeding there
in tneir profession.
In all the classical orchestras in the
united States the German language la
used altogether for direction. Most of
he orchestras are made ud of Germans
largely and of foreigners who have a
smattering of German: the conductors
are for the most part German and if
not they use that language anyway.
That is the way our national musical
ife la pressed out of existence. There
little American musical life. It mav
be situated in America, but that la only
from the force of circumstances. The
lfe is borrowed from Europe and the
Americans themselves don't want it
otherwise
Hlumenberg says that out of 80-odd
minions or people here about half a
million are interested and versed In
classical music, and thousands are
studying and graduating In muic all
the time, but If not a single musician
good enough to hold a responsible place
or even to be given a trial can be found,
the music fabric must be rotten. Am
erican musical institutions are to blame
for these conditions. They discourage
American music and ambitious Ameri
cans must go to Europe to locate. They
succeed abroad. But here only the
cheap style artists can live, and they
raKe la money, nut a Macuowell can
not even live. The Americans think that
their catering to European tastes gives
them prestige but It Is only a source of
amusement over there. Many European
papers speaK openly or our discourage'
ment to our own artists and sieak of
America as the Inartistic Mecca of
wealth for their own poor. They come
here to get our dollars and laugh up
ineir sleeves at our guniDlllty. xr we
encouraged our own life not only would
they lose the chance to sneer at our lack
of musicians but they would not have
the chance to palm off their articles
many of which are poor grade.
The Courier says:
"We are prejudiced against our own
native musicians, and we are snobs and
toadies

soloists while abroad. The company, it
Is expected, will again tour the Pacific
coast ,as it did last year, when it gave
"La Gloconda," "La Bohcme" and "Car
men" in Portland, ad so the engage
ment of his artists Is more or less a
matter of local interest. Foremost
among his artists are Madame Nordica
and Monsieur Victor Maurel, a new bari
tone. Calve has promised to sing in
some of his "Carmen" productions if the
dates meet her manager's approva.1.
Alice NIelson will again sing In '"La
