Fear of ‘Modern’ Music Wearing Off Among
Some Listeners; Unbiased Hearing Urged
In the past, the desire of some
music-lovers to escape by headlong
flight from the necessity of
listening to “modern” (unfamiliar)
times be as background for dining
and similar pursuits, presents all
its ideas in a form of elementary
simplicity. Possibly the all-pervad-
ing influence of this very simple
It is a good question We need
not fear the complex merely be-
cause of its complexity. Sufficient
training and knowledge will reduce
the apparently obscure to an
understandable pattern. Of course,
all fine art must contain simplie-
ity of thought and emotion, de-
spite the artful complication with
which it may be expressed If
| modern music possesses these
qualities, it will not lack an aud-
tence.

At drug stores everywhere—in Abilene at
Walgreen a and Dukes Windsor Pharmacy,
me of an incident in which a
member of an audience that had
heard an address by a prominent
orchestral conductor arose and
said: “I’m not a musician, but
I’m a good lawyer; and it doesn’t
seem logical to me that audiences
should have to listen to modern
music if they don’t like modern
music.” Whereupon the conductor
replied, "I’m not a lawyer, but
I’m a good musician; and it does-
n’t seem logical to me that an
audience can know whether or not
it likes modern music until it has
listened to some."
COMPLEXITY NOTED
This seems to sum up the ques-
tion fairly. Naturally, any indiv-
idual has, and must continue to
have the fredom to listen or not
to any music that is offered on a
program. The ability to turn a
radio off, or to leave a concert
(if this can be done without off-
ending the performer and disturb-
ing the audience) is accessible to
all. However, much antagonism
toward the new in any art is
simply the result of an illogical
fear of the unfamiliar. A new mus-
ical composition must at least
have a hearing before an unbiased
audience that makes a sincere at-
of more complicated musical
thought. It may be significant that

tempt to understand the compos-
er’s intentions, before the work
can be either praised or con-
demned.
Experiences with the audience
of today indicate that at least some
of this fear of new music is wear-
ing off. Some months ago, Wil-
liam Masselos, a good friend of
mine, and a fine pianist whose
musical education was side by side
with my own, gave a recital at
New York’s Carnegie Hall in
which it had been previously an-
nounced that the entire first half
of the program would be devoted
to contemporary music, so that
any member of the audience who
so desired could feel free to ar-
rive at the intermission and avoid
the modern offerings. Needless to
| say, all of the audience arrived
at the beginning of the evening,
and stayed throughout the prog-
ram.
There can be no doubt that con-
| temporary music is frequently dif-
ficult to understand. The great
complexity of modern musical re-
i sources require a listener whose
intellect and ear have been trained
to a high degree. (Let it not be
thought, however, that the music
| of Beethoven or Bach requires any
less degree of training or com-
prehension on the part of the
listener). Still, many of the de-
- vices of modern music have been
| made part of the common tech-
nique of commercial jazz, with-
out any notable protest from the
| consumers.
