' ' .' ! i Frank La Forge, distinguished pianist, accompanist, teacher and composer, who was In Salem re cently with Mme.

If concert goers would hear more mu& to their taste',' says Mr. La forge, let "them manifest their pleasure in the same enthusiastic way that lovers of a lower-type of rnttslc do. and they will find themselves getting whole programs instead of one or two groups. of the beat and most serious music. "Every great' artist would al ways give the very best muslft he knows." says Mr. La Forged "If only he could feel that thaj : mu sic would be as weir received as less artistic music. One pari of a typical American concert; audi ence loves good music but is too selfish in Its consideration p Its own petty dignity to manifest that appreciation audibly Uhe other part endures the good mu sic for the sake of the 'effect' pieces, which it stormily Tertle- mands. If an artist does not ea ter enough to this second element to win noticeable applausej ithe manager of his concert concludes that he has not been well ehovtgh received to warrant a re-engagement. But thls ls hof the. -worst of the situation, for a really seri ous musician is often willing; to run such commercial risks as thii In order to maintain his highest artistic standards. Tne real ar gument for applause is that it stimulates the artist to do ttls best. An apathetic audience or one which appears so is some thing for an artist to remember with shuddering.

I should like to suggest that the clubs thronghoat the country, which are responsible for so large a percentage of the serious concerts, should dlscui' Lthis matter among their membra. ship and declare themselves ii favor of applause. It would bt easy, for them to prick the babble of false dignity and culture wklck distorts so many persons' view si tae matter. The really cultured amateur should feel It his duty to applaud more, not less, . tbaa other concert-goers. The main tenance of high musical standards thus really lies with the discrim inating amateur element fa the public. Tempt the artist to In clude 'effect' music In his pr " grams and yeu tempt him to in jure by just so much his ability' to deliver the best music In thi best way.

"As for American music, my own immediate interest is in tha song; and perhaps in consequence of that I feel that the most prof itable line of development, . for composer and performer alike, opens out from the point of at tention to text.
