80MUSICAL COURIER
81Schmitz to Make Temporary American Farewell Next Season
82E. Robert Schmitz, French pianist, who took up his residence in America some years ago, sailed for Europe on February 29 for a stay of three or four months, but will return in time for his usual course of master classes to be held in Colorado Springs during July and August. Mr. Schmitz on his arrival in Europe plays with the Concertgebouw Orchestra under the direction of Mengelberg, giving the first Amsterdam performance of a piano concerto by Ernst Toch. Immediately before sailing Mr. Schmitz was the artist selected to broadcast in the Ampico Hour. This engagement was on February 27.
84After his appearance with the Concertgebouw Orchestra Mr. Schmitz is to fill a number of other concert engagements in Holland. His plans are then undecided as yet, but he has been invited to play in Poland and in Russia and may accept these invitations if it is possible to include them in his schedule. His free time will be limited by the fact that he is the founder and president of the Pro Musica Society, which has its headquarters in New York and other chapters throughout America, as well as in Europe and South America. This society has already given a great many American works in Europe, and this year is to offer in Paris, among other things, a sonata by the Boston composer, Alexander Steinert.
86In the fall of this year, 1928, Mr. Schmitz is to make a two months' American tour as soloist with the Belgian Harmonie des Guides, which is being brought to America by the Bogue-Laberge management. This is an extraordinary band which plays all the modern music, and for which music has been especially composed by many modern composers. It is conducted by Prevot, and Mr. Schmitz, who is familiar with its performances, predicts that it will make a sensation here. The American tour of this organization is being sponsored by the Belgian government. Following this tour with the Harmonie, Mr. Schmitz will make a coast to coast recital tour, at the termination of which he will take a two months' rest and will then conduct a summer master class as usual.
88In September, 1929, he will begin a tour of the world, during which he will play everywhere in the Far East except Australia—Honolulu, China, Japan, Java, Indo China, etc. This means that in the season 1929-30 he will not be in the United States.
90Mr. Schmitz recently received an offer of an endowment for a music school, provided he would take the directorship of it. His reply was an acceptance under certain conditions and with certain qualifications. The first condition was that only students should be admitted to the school who would take the full course—not only a principal study but also all of the obligatory secondary studies which, as Mr. Schmitz points out, are necessary if music students are to become really genuine musicians. On hearing this condition the person who offered the endowment said that it was probable that such conditions would keep students away from the school. Whereupon the matter was dropped, for Mr. Schmitz is firmly of the belief that students should have a complete schooling in music, not only in the piano or violin or voice. He points out that French Conservatoire trained musicians are required to learn music thoroughly from every angle, and that if America is ever to be properly musical the same condition must prevail. At all events, he refused this offer, and it speaks well for his integrity as a musician that he did. Mr. Schmitz is a first-rate pianist, but quite apart from that, he is also a man who is doing much for music in general in America. The Pro Musica Society, of which he is the founder and president, has not only offered American works here and abroad, but has made possible concert tours and public appearances in America by, among others, Maurice Ravel, the French composer; Henry Eichheim, the American composer; Casella, Bartok and Tansman.
92New Penn Successes
93The winter season so far has been an active one in the broadcasting studios for the many perennial song successes of Arthur A. Penn. This is not remarkable in view of the wide variety and longevity of this writer's work. Every day such delightful songs of his as Sunrise and You, Smilin' Thru, The Lampit Hour, Carissima, The Magic of Your Eyes, Sing Along, and a half a dozen others, come over the air from every corner of the continent. Mr. Penn's latest contributions to the famous Witmark Black and White Series are also beginning to obtain a wide vogue. These typical Penn songs include such beautiful numbers as At Moonrise, Across the River, I Love You All the Time, and The Roses Weep at Dawn. Rhys Morgan, the Circle Ensemble, Douglas Stanbury, Redferne Hollinshead and Devora Nadworny, among others, have been busy introducing these new Penn ballads. In order to keep pace with the demand for his work, Mr. Penn has retired to Block Island, off the coast of Rhode Island, making this his permanent home.
95Pittsburgh Musical Institute Notes
96Recent activities at Pittsburgh Musical Institute included a performance of the Chimes of Normandy in concert form, a program by the P. M. I. String Orchestra under the direction of Charles N. Boyd, and a recital of modern sonatas for violin and piano given by Gaylord Yost and William H. Oetting. The fourth program in the Historical Series of Piano Concerto recitals included Tschaikowsky's concerto in B flat minor, and the Saint-Saens concertos in G and C minor, Henrietta Meyer Boydcombe, Marie G. Vierheller and Dallmeyer Russell being the soloists. Albert Reeves Norton will give an organ recital on Tuesday, March 27. Student recitals are given at frequent intervals, as are also plays by members of the expression department.
98Notes From Estelle Liebling's Studio
