Excerpt from The Neume, 1938In the meantime there is always the art of the past, and most of you will devore more of your efforts to cherishing and interpreting our great tonal heritage than you will toward moulding the art of the future. Also, until music again consents to ad dress itself to the public instead of to the connoisseur or until the public catches up with the modernist composers, the music of the great masters, from Bach to Sibelius, will provide the inspiration and the refreshment, the escape into an ideal world of order and beauty that is so salutary, today. Indeed it might be said that, although his creative stature is perceptibly diminished, the artist, and especially the musician, is of more value to society now than at any time in the past. Thus you will be out in the world n0t merely as musicians but as ministers, and missionaries, as helpers and healers. Nor only will you add to its store of pleasure, you will help it to pre serve its sanity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
