THE TWO WAGNERS
. One Worshipped for His Complexity, the Other for His Simplicity
'
(Written for The Saturday Journal.)
Ittclinr.l Wagner, tho famous com
poser, who tore tho ncienco of mimical
construction into nhreds and mndo n
bonflro with the frogmenta, succeeded
in rtrouiriiijr tho attention of tho world
mitl tho contornation of tisicinns.
Tho groat Kichnrd built his inunlaal
scores upon tho disorganization of and
departure from tho generally accopted
fdenco of hnrnouy as npliod to
sound. JIo wroto tho famous Wagnerian
music in tho faco of theories which de
clared composition based upon such de
partures us his wore creations of nolso
from a disordered musical soiwo. Yot
lhcsa very departures and fanatical
musical descriptions nro what mado
Wagner famous. Tho one great sorrow
of Wngnor's llfo was that ho could
not produce enough nolso. Musical in
struments woro incapablo of producing
tho volume and tho players too thick
headed to intorprot his idoas.
, l'erceiving no ono thoroughly under
stood his music ho was compollod to
play It himself, If ho wanted It proper
ly presented. Ho would hlro an orches
tra, drill and beat lifts Interpretation
Jnto it until ho had tho orchestra nblo
to play tho score vear onough so you
fould dintingulsh tho music from pro
vlously produced scores. Then hn would
roiiennm ami reuearso ami then ro
Jicarso soino moro. After ono or two
of tho nightingale got an Idea of what
ho was trying to bring out, ho then
closed in on them with the ootra
and drillod tho 'wo for a losg Hmo.
Wagner discovered that paying a man
or woman a salary didn't guars nUe any
certain dogroo of interpretation, so ho
wwi obliged to put on tho perfonnansa
With a dUeomfortlnu realization Hint
it was not going to bo uiulorstiuuUng
ly produced. IIo probably ojpeoted
too much. It was impossible that his
singers and orchestra understood what
ho understood, soo what he saw, hear
what ho heard, feel what ho felt and
do as ho would have done. Singers
and orchestra aro doing today with
uo and gusto what ho, tho groat Wag
ner, failed to do, and that was to iiur-
tiiic(eee
fectly produco his operas. In f&shionr
nblo New i'ork tho people go at 7 in
tho ovenlntr and stnv until 2 in itm
morning if they got tho romplcto per
formance. Seat aro auctioned off to
tho highest bidders and nt big money.
Wagner is doing moro business than
Hhakespearo. By Itiohard Wagner the
world was sot on tiro and ia burning
yot, and ho it was who dared to over
turn nil generally accepted ' theories of
sound in its relation to music. Wo
mny bo compelled lator on to uso tho
tornado, stoam-onglno and earthquake,
punctuating with tho bursting volcano,
to describo his music, but Wngnor wo
will havo.
Noting tho success of his nnmosnke.
a new Wngnor has cntorcd tho flold.
With groat insight our last Wagnor
has taken tho opposlto method of his
distant relativo in introducing him
self. Hichnrd got into promlnonco by
comploxlng, mystifying, rendering un
intelligible, twisting, distorting and
thon to try and do tho "simple"
Wagnorian complexion and roar is like
knitting a pair of speks in n lion's
don. Itiohard Wacnor has dono it
what will Charles Wagnor do with itf
IIo can blnmo his relativo for much in
lifo that isn't simple
President Itoosevolt, aftor looking at
tho present tariff and seeing 'ho oper
ations of tho boof trust, foil an easy
victim to tho Wagnerian idea, and is
in favor of tho "simplo llfo" aB soon
as Professor Wagnor can got it on the
market. A bad fcaturo of tho scheme
for simplifying life is that no In
structions go with tho book. Accord
ing to tli manual it is our duty to get
simple. Wo all know how to get
saved, and how to got rich, but none
of us out hero in Oregon know how
to get simplo. As a nation wo proba
bly noed to get simplo in some respects,
but -lis a rulo wo aro now so everlast
ing simplo that wo can't hopo to cram
in much more. Simplicity in this coun

duco complexity was his solo object. To
nunlhlluto anything and cvorything
which laid any claim to simplicity was

tho now idealist, pursues tho opposlto

Wagner has started a orusndo along tho attain tho simplo by uniloratnnillnir the

Mary Ann is simple. When sho goes
to college she returns Mantnna Antion

MsrlUna Antoinetta is different irom
that of Mary Ann. This added state
of complexity is had so Wngner says

Dut, after this simple, calico-dressed
girl comes homo from college wiin a
... nn,nn dm n( nncn infuses a life
around home that isn't much on tho
simplo order for tho old folks. Marl
tana must have a piano, a chatclaino
and gloves. Slio must sleep late, read
books and study the fashion plates.
She has tho hen moved away from her
window. She wants new furnituro in
hor mom. Sim wants a carpet on the
floor, a stove and a comb and brush.
All tliiifio thiniM are complox when
eomparing them as requisites to her
lwmloir full of calico wrappers. Hero
this girlish complex life is a great ben-
fit. When she gets so complex that
she can't livo at homo any moro on
aeeount of the simplicity, then it is
time to open up tho Wagner battery.
But so long as she takes it easy, it is
a good thing for all tho family. The
men folks will quit going to bed with
their neckties oa and tho kids will bo
made to tnko off tlioir hoots.
Simplo living is a vory hard thing
to do. It is easy to get a WTong im
prosMon about what it means to bo
simple. Carelessness gets into some
simiile" clothes and parades around
the country and is thought to bo the
"simple life" at its perfection. In
reality thero is no distinction bctweon
a so-called eomplax life and n simplo
life. Indsr complex lifo wo call a
snake a head with n tail to it. whllo
under simple lifo we say it it a tail
with a head on It. To be simple moans
to be yoHNdlf and yu are that now.
ou can't get simple by trying to be
som.'.me eUw or sesintllsto a foreign
nature.
No intention of criticising Mr. Wag
