THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL ' PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 8. 1908,
SOME years ago the following Ad
vertisement apepared In the New
York World: "Wanted At Coney
Island restaurant, a pianist who
can open oysters.
Can there be a ' more speaking sen
tence? ' In that little advertisement Is
wrapped up the tragedy of much of the
musical situation today. The story of
the Incompetent musician who Is an In
sult to his Instrument and to Intelli
gent humanity; the story of th misled
student; of the poet musician who can
barely make enough to keep himself
from starving because of the unscrupu
lous tinkerer at the profession who
steps in and steals his rights; all these
are told in that one sentence "Wanted
A pianist who can open oysters."
"It is a sad fact that a large propor
tion of the pianists we hear every day
would better be opening oysters, and
certainly more profitably. They might,
too, learn some valuable lesson from
the oyster and his family In shutting up
like a clam a lesson bought and paid
for at the highest price by our greatest
philosophers. The advertisement, to be
sure, does not say how this versatile
pianist is to open the oysters whether
with a knife, or by the mag-io of b's art
like the mythical Orpheus who, with his
lute, made the trees and mountain tops
bow to the ground, and who did not
Mop at opening a ltttle oyster shell,
but opened the very gates of Hade;,
where his beautiful love was confined.
Mavbe the Coney Island plsmlst oeuld
do as much with the oyster shell, were
his love confined within It.
The country is overrun with oyster
opening pianists. I believe America gets
them irom all over the world. Doubt'
less other countries have their share
ot these pot-boiler artls?n. but America,
the great land of the free. Is such a
beautiful country in -wiiien to practice
to one's nearfs content the buncombe
game of bad mUBic. And in some coijn
trfeB thete is les tolerance for such
nulsancns The appreciation and exac
tions of more musical countries would
protest against it,
You may have heard of the Italian
and Qertnn discussing the relative im
portance of their countries as musical
,ntn rcrmnv ftp.Ameri to have more
arguments in its favor and the excitable
i Italian nrantlisning nis anna wnuiy,
said: 'But Italy Is turning out the
most musicians and has always turned
out the most."
"Ach Uoit!" exclaimed the German,
"Can you jilame dem?"
Well. yes. we will nay that Italy turns
out the most. Many of them are good
muslrlan. Doubtlens there are more
Italians than of any other nationality
represented among the operatic artists,
and probably In the bands and orches
tras about the country the same is true.
Hut there ar many, many poor music
ians, who come over here and pass
themselves off for virtuosi. Their
names will carry them a long way. And
because of the foreign name, the foreign
birthplace, and, perhaps, a bewitching
accent, a slippery mustache, burning
yes and an excitable temper, they paas
for musicians. .
They receive students who are paying
tribute to the romanticism of their for
eign ways anl not to their ability as mu
sicians. They pretend to teach the art
of music. Tliey may succeed In hack
ing up the poor student's latent talent
Just about as badly as they would hack
up the defenseless oyster within its
shell. But the oyster has passed Its
earthly usefulness, or will have In a
short time, and embryo possibilities
have not oeen misled or utterly ruined.
And besides, that man might learn in
a little time to handle the knife a
little more carefully his employer
would demand It. But there is no one to
demand that he make a first-class mu
sician of himself before he begins to
Impart his Incomplete knowledge.
There Is the other side to be consid
ered The poor .musician who has to
riant himself to circumstances because
of the manner in which he Is crowded
out by his unscrupulous neighbor. I
suppose the musician with any business
Instinct and there Is no aesthetic law
preventing a musician from being as
sound minded In financial matters as a
man of any other profession will be
able to make circumstances subject
themselves to him, but there are many
who are good musicians who are help
less In subjecting financial difficulties.
It Is for these to learn to open oysters,
to whittle monkeys out of wax, to do
fancy work or to take in fancy washing
anything to eke out their slender In
come." And this because so many who
should be dolnsr these Jobs all the time
are selling half their time at bargain
counter rates In giving poor music les
sons, and so are detracting from the
value jf the efficient.
No. there Is no lesthetlo law against
making money by music, but there
should be an ethical law, commonly
called professional ethics In other pro
fessions, to prevent Jobbers from vent
ing their ignorance on unsuspecting
pupils. .
A local music teacher told me the
other day of a woman who came to her
to studv who couldn't play the first two
measures of the Clementl sonatlne
without getting off the key, and yet
she had a large class of pupils paying
her a dollar an hour for lessons. An
other couldn't play the scales but had
a few "pieces" at her finger ends which
she played for her students and piano
teaching was her means of livelihood.
Another, a graduate of a musical con
servatory, who carried a bachelor de
gree behind her name, wanted lessons
hvcauM she couldn't nlay the music of
a popular opera wnicb ner position de
manded should be played.
And that might serve as the Introduc
tion for a discourse on the fakery .of
so-called conservatories of muslo where
students are rushed tnrougn a eeriam
period of time, and not through a cer
tain amount of work done with a cer
tain degree of quality. And It might,
too, serve as the text for an argument
that would-be music teachera should go
through an examination Just as much as
should teachers of the public schools.
Manv a talented person who can play
well and with ease la absolutely un
fitted to teach others to play. The abil
ity to teach Is an art entirely separate
from the ability to perform well,
though in any case one must have the
knowledge of how it Is done. But that
Is another story. y

of tlnkjjng strips of metal, while his
melodies, like those of the feathered
creation, acquire a compelling charm
from monotonous Iteration and reitera
tion. Even the Intervals of the barbaric
scale. If scale it can be called, are of
such an Indefinite and Illusive character
that they may very Justly be thought
to have their prototype In the throat
of the songbird. So much ! do sounds
of a gentle nature ravish the ear of
the native African that ha dons, when
dancing, a belt of large dried bean
shells filled with softly rattling peb
bles, which he strings together like
beads and winds about his waist.
The lovabla "ricksha" boys, curiously
and gaudily costumed, oxhorn and feath
ers on their heads. Imaginary stock
ing's of amazing pattern painted on tbeir
bare legs,, wear these dancing belts as
anklets, and a they lope along In Imi

these musical ornaments can hardly be
Imagined.
Another Kaffir ornament Is a head
dress having beaded strings dangling
between the eyes, with tiny bells crude
ly carved out of bits of horn Jingling
on the -ends.
These dark-skinned, lithe-limbed na
tives possess also a delicacy of touch
which they apply as readily to the
manipulation of a musical Instrument
as to their quaint bead-siringing,
plaited straw work and the like.
To hear a Kaffir boy play an In
strument of the white man's fashion
ing, an ordinary mouth organ or the
plebeian concertina, la something of a
revelation. I heard once in the solitude
of the hills of Bwatzkop. Natal, a Kaf

What I found one of the most Inter
esting features last year about that tal
ented and entertaining woman, Madame
Maud Powell, who In private life is
Mrs. Godfrey Turner, was her general
information. Her Interest Is not con
fined to things musical, much less to
things vloltnlstio. Though she Is a
complete master of her Instrument
though she knows violin literature from
A to Z, she can converse Intelligently
on almost any other subject you choose
to Introduce. Her travels have keen.
extensive and In the course of them
she has kept her eyes and her ears
and mind open. So it la that Madame
Powell wields the pen about as well as
she does the bow, and with her naturally
musical temperament you may divine
readily mat when she writes It Is in
f 'leasing style. I am glad that Portland
s to have the opportunity of hearing
her again, and I nope that the many
wno were denied me privilege or hear
ing her last year because of the incon
venient hour will be able to hear her
when she comes late this month.
The following article on "South Afrl
can Sidelights on a Musical Problem"
which she wrote for "Musical Ameri
ca" from her personal observations, pre
sents so many interesting points that
ii is reproduced nere entire:
A recent trip to Tennessee has re
railed impressions received in South
Africa impressions of the colored man
and bis love for rhythm and tune.
There Is an esthetic susceptibility about
the colored race that responds quickly
to both beauty of color and of sound.
It was of frequent occurrence in my
travels in l06 in Bontn Arriea. to dis
cover half-nude Kaffirs standing an
hour at a time outside the hotel win
dow listening to my violin practice. The
knowledge of Enellsh speech amounts
to a vague understanding of so-called
Tcltchen-kafflr (a most elemental
speech adapted to his limited under
standing), but the language of music
speaks to him in direct and Intelligible
terms. Our own southern darkey
brought his taste for folk-lore and
song with him from Africa, when he
came to us long ago, to help In the
corn and cotton fields of Dixie land.
The love of beautiful line, color and
sound Is a racial instinct
"No wonder the White man covers his
nakedness,'' says our black brother of
the antipodes, "for 'he is ashamed of
his deformities."
As the South African native borrows
his color schemes In his head-work
from the heavens or from the myriad
hued wild flowers that deck the gret
treeless Karroo, so he steals from the
songbirds of the forbidding hills - the
secret' of soft, persuasive music.
His musical Instruments are mellow
tone and sweet, being; made of wood.
stillness of the late afternoon that was
indescribable.
I havo since been Informed by an En
glishman who knows something of the
K?.51C,,bjr vlrtu of his long association
with him in an official capacity, that a
native man Is known by the one tune
that he always plays. (Here we have
the leit-motif In embryo.)
Moreover, he has a way of repeating
his tune in cycles in some manner un
fathomed by the white man, and it
seems that my boy of the concertina had
some large rythmic plan, which made
rum loath to atop playing. Inasmuch as
he would thereby lose count and per
force have to go back to the very be
ginning. '
This same official also gave me some
particulars about the natives of Bechu
analand. who have good voices and sing
remarkably well in chorus. On one of
those strangely clear nights under the
Southern Cross they will congregate in
scores or even hundreds, ranging them
selves in groups around an enormous
bonfire. Then they will sing in unison,
'n chorus and antfphonally
The burden of their song may be some
strange folk-lore or tribal history or
mayhap a rehearsal of all the daring
reats and brave deeds of their honored
and worshipful chief. One group will
" -1 " mm a. siow monotonous dron
ing, a second will presently intone a
sort of melody, which in turn will be
taken up by a third group, and so on.
Each group will have its individual
tune, while the various groups will an
swer each other or sing together In a
sort of curious oounter-point And for a
grand and glorious finale thev will rise
and sing together In a simple impressive
unison.
It Is not agreeable to learn that the
white man's hymn, too often feeble in
both tune and words, and unfortunately
associated with the civilizing (?) intro
duction of the whiskey habit, is grad
ually usurping the place of the native
song, romantic fitting, thrilling as it is.
Like the clothes of ,Tclvil!zed" cut that
eit In repulsive filth and awkwardness
on the splendid bronze figures, so the
white man's song is also a mournful
misfit.
In view of the much discussed ques
tion of an American school of composi
tion arising out of the melodies of our
southern negro, these musical suscepti
bilities of his semi-savage brother
across the South Atlantic are of some
Import. Certainly the aesthetio advan
tage of steeping one's self In the atmos
phere of our southern tradition and com
ing In touoh with the lovable but fast
disappearing "Uncle Amus" type, Is con
siderable. But, to my thinking, the overpowering
Influence of the great white race, and
the tendency of these restless monev
making times will kill outright the poet
ic possibilities in this direction. We
Americans are. more llkelv to live flr;t
through a phase of large Intellectual,
mechanical music-making before arriv
ing at a real individuality of expression.
And nothing will accrue through copy
ing peculiarities of Interval and rhythm
of a race fast losing Its oharm of un
spoiled, uneducated originality.
The passing epldemlo of ragtime
(with Its individuality of rhythm) will
have lived its course and have left ira
imprint, which in time will have become i
an idealized memory. This will be one!
element in the building of an American '
school of musical expression and a vi-.1
tallv important element, inasmuch as i
rhythm stands at the very root of all '
musical structure, ana mnerent in rag
time Is much more than merely struc
tural quality. It has a soul of its own,
quite apart from anything that has thus
far been -created. American history, lit
erature of life "befoah de wah" and tra
ditions tinted by the hand of time, will
create "mood" and this will be another
element In the building.
It Is a Ions: Process, but we shall
achieve the artistic result ultimately.
It must be remembered that the great
Italian, Dutch and Belgian schools of
Fainting thrived and blossomed in the
Ifteenth and sixteenth centuries, dur
ing the great financial prosperity of the
merchant kings of those days.
SlfV too vlll flm mnA hlltftvv nmtrm
that American music, now in swaddling
clothes, received great impetus and en
couragement and consequently made
great advancement during- an era of
nrodoerltv that la the wotider nf th
civilized world.
MISS LOCKE TALKS ON "GREAT
PICTURES" AT ART MUSEUM
In her lecture on "Great Pictures"
yesterday at the art museum, -he last
of a most interesting series on art
Miss Josephine Locke named the great
world artists in the following order:
Raphael, Michael Angelo, Corregio,
Murillo. Leonardo, Georgione, Titian,
Batticelll, Rembrandt. Turner, Corof,
Millet These men founded schools,
stood for great departures In art, made
epochs. Besides these in the modern
world idiss Locke named Rossetti and
Bastlen Le Page as men who struck one
great note did one supremely great
thing.
She criticised from the modern view
point many of those pictures whtcn
have previously held high rank, and in
explaining the different value which
has attached to pictures with the ad
vance of thought she said:
"Our standards of value change and
must change appreciation of picture and
statue as in everything eUe. I choose
to call this variation wt preference one
of public sentiment rather than of pub
lic taste. Psychologically, It Is the re
sult of a dV ferent development of brain
area and a different quality In the brain
cell. PsyFlfKically it is a mental
movement, a movement in the conscious
ness of the public and the Individual
by which one suddenly finds himself
abreast not of the perception of past
critics but of the interior, subjective
motives of the artist himself.
"There are art elements that are con
stant and abiding. The heroic is such
an element, whether In poetry, litera
ture, sculnture. music-or coetrv: the
heroic stimulants anI TaBcTnates. '"Tnet
serene quiet that looks out on the
strenuouaness of life, not indifferent
but undisturbed, Is another element. The
mysticism that sees beyond eyes of
sense, that feels beyond the weeing,
that understands, recognizes and flaBhes
back response, has a perpetual and en
during charm.
"Whether In the human form or in
