Leader of Philadelphia Or
chestra Says Light Songs
Were Inserted in Program
Without His Consent.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. (AP) Joae
Iturbi, fiery Spanish pianist-conductor,
got into that rumpus Monday
night in Philadelphia because . he
said, he refused to permit certain
songs to go on the air for the reason
that "we have more dignified compos
ers for such a place."
"What actually happened," said
Iturbi today In his New York apart
ment, "was this:
"Four days before the concert I
gave the program as I arranged it
to Gordon Kahn, in charge 01 pro
grams. I had been put in charge of
programs, of course, as conductor of :
the Philadelphia orchestra at Robin
Hood Dell.
Manager Stays Away
'Between the time I gave the pro
gram to Mr. Kahn and the day of
the concert I tried many times to
reach Alfred Reginald Allen, manager
of the orchestra, to get hla confir
mation. He was playing golf or
something: I never saw him until
the morning of the concert.
"Then he came to rehearsal At no I
time did he object to the program s
I had suggested It. And I knew noth
ing of any change until I arrived to
conduct.
"Then, with a few seconds to go, 1
found that my program had been
changed, and two long groups of
light songs Inserted. That would have
have meant . that the Philadelphia
orchestra. 110 of the best musicians
alive, would sit 35 minutes on the
stage while theso songs, which can
be heard anywhere, were sung with
piano accompaniment.
"The management, a week before
the concert, had suggested these two
group of songs, and I had said no.
The only reason I ever gave for this
refusal was that the program was for
the benefit of the Musicians' Pro
tective association, and In celebra
tion of Constitution day.
Undignified
"I said that I thought It would be
undignified for the orchestra to Bit
idle while this was going on; I also
said that I thought we had compos
ers of more representative American
music for such an occasion.
"I never called these songs 'stuff.'
t never called them 'trash.' Nor did
I call the songs 'cheap, rotten mu
sic.' "
He refused to comment on the
statement from E. C. Mills, chairman
of the administrative committee of
the American Society of Composer,,
Authors and Publishers, that Ameri
can composers would be within their
rights if they withheld their compo
sitions from htm.
"I have been one of the leading
propagandists for American music
since I came to this country,'' he
added.
