A NEW INTERPRETATION OF THE
TSCHAIKOWSKY ''FOURTH"
As played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Serge Koussevitzky.
Horns and bassoons combining in brazen
call . . . 'cellos sighing in sad resignation
... the woodwinds replying, timidly but
gay .... Then a mad burst of humor from
the pizzicato strings. . . . Finally the
massed power of the entire orchestra in
a song of spiritual exaltation.
Here is Tschaikowsky at his best-the
great musical humanist, magnificently inspired,
alternately moving from the sod
to the skies. For with this, the beginning
of his "symphonic cycle," he patterned the
trilogy of musical works upon which his
fame most securely rests. It has stood for
more than 40 years among the supreme
achievements of the human mind.
The Tschaikowsky "Fourth" has just
been recorded in its entirety by the Boston
Symphony Orchestra, under the direction
of Serge Koussevitzky. It is a new and
inimitable reading, dynamic as its famed
conductor himself.
It is a "Higher Fidelity" Recording too
-astonishingly clear and realistic-reproduced
note for note as you yourself might
hear it in Boston's Symphony Hall. Ask
your nearest RCA Victor dealer to play
this electrifying performance. You can
hear it on one of the latest RCA Victor
combinations--or on the ingenious Record
Player that attaches to any radio instrument.

ACTIVE LISTENING
By OLGA SAMAROFF-STOKOWSK!
To many of us, listening to music is purely an emotional experience;
to many that is sufficient. But in these articles, of which
this is the fourth, Mme. Samaroff-Stokowski, founder of the Layman's
Music Courses, asks for intellectual enjoyment as well.
4. The listener and the Future of Music
It is one thing to take music
casually, drifting from concert hall
to opera house, and quite another
to take an active part in making
musical history. If the layman
fully realized the significance of
his own power to create, maintain
or improve musical conditions he
might be profoundly amazed.
The officers, boards and managers
of great musical institutions
are forced to consider every manifestation
of public taste. Without
public support they would have
to close their doors. The professional
manager of musical artists
is similarly governed by that infallible
thermometer, the box-office.
If the public is indifferent to an
artist what can a manager do?
The same question applies to the
phonograph company and the
broadcasting agencies. The whole
. future status of music over the air
depends upon the known reactions
and active participation of the
public. If the air audience is inarticulate
or passive producers and
managers can scarcely be blamed
123 WEST .,,, STREET I
for avoiding experiments and confining
their efforts to "giving the
public what it wants" according to
established ideas of what the public
wants.
Very often managers, producers
and organizations would be perfectly
willing to change, improve
and broaden the scope of their offerings
if they could only have
some indication of potential receptiveness
on the part of the public.
Every music lover who takes the
trouble to write a letter to a radio
station asking for something worth
while or praising some outstanding
musical broadcast, is doing a
real service to music.
Every music lover who takes the
trouble to listen to young musicians
of the oncoming generation and to
the music of contemporary composers
is joining the important
group that in every age influences
or determines the future of art and
artists. If active participation in
musical affairs is added to active
listening, the layman can assume
a place of supreme importance m
the musical life of a nation.

"I have known Mme. Schumann for many
years, as a musician, teacher, and composer.
The splendid progress of her pupils proves
the soundness of her principles. The high
quality of Mme. Schumann's musicianship is
based upon the equally high quality of her
character and personality. I always advise
young and aspiring singers to turn to Mme.
Schumann for instruction, feeling, that if she
takes care of them, they are in the best hands."
