ANTON RUBENSTEIN-
CENTENNIAL OF HIS BIRTH
CELEBRATED THIS YEAR

Clifford 2109
Clifford 2109

By DAVID EWEN

This year we are celebrating the
centennary of Anton Rubinstein's
birth—and seldom' has a celebra-
tion been so deserving. For An-
ton Rubinstein's massive form can
readily be discerned among the
giants of music. Ile was a great
composer—with an unusually fe-
licitous musical pen. Beauty
flowed freely from him in inces-
sant gusts. Like all great Jewish
composers, Rubinstein was• pri-
marily a melodist. lie could think
only in terms of beautiful lines
and phrases; his heart was per-
petually singing and expressed it-

self in imperishable bursts of me-
lodic frenzy. To listen to his
songs—to his exquisite "Hebrew
Melodies," to the freshness and
spontaeous tendernesS of his
Spring Songs, or to the haunting
and beautifully colored "Asra"—
is to hear a music, original and
poignantly effective. These songs
sing in fullthroated sweetness,
sometimes sadly, sometimes non-
chalantly, sometimes gaily—but
always beautifully. To listen to
his larger works—the symphonies
the operas, the oratories--is to,
hear similar explosions of lyricism.
In his symphonies Rubinstein has
transported the aria of the opera
—and his themes sing like songs.
In the "Dramatic Symphony" and
in the ''Ocean Symphony" he is
primarily the songwriter, but with
a marvelous technique which can
blend several songs into one mas-
sive architecture. His operas—
"Nero," the "Demon" — a r e
weighted down by abominable li,
brettos—but so,fresh is the music,
that we forget the absurdities of
the plot. In Rubinstein, music has
only one divine mission, to express
beauty.

He was, consequently, a great
composer. But he was also the
great musician. All know how
great a pianist he was—the very
greatest in his day. His name has
become synonymous with perfec-
tion in the pianistic art. A tone
that sings with the same sensuous
ecstacy as his original melodies
did; a technique so impeccable that
it seemed to be almost impotent;
an artistry that could penetrate
into the profoundest depths of the
music and reveal all the dazzling ,
beauty that it contained—these
were the attributes of Rubinstein
as a pianist. When Liszt, the
greatest virtuoso of the time,
heard Rubinstein—then a young
boy—play, he kissed the boy ten-
derly and swore that, at last, he
had found his superior. A pianist
superior to Liszt would mean that
such a pianist was a musical phe-
nomenon—and all his life Rubin-
stein was such a phenomenon.

But greater disnction

Ile was the found er of the first

Russia—and as a teacher he was
almost as great as he was as pian-
ist and composer. Rubinstein had
long felt that Russia needed a
school where a musician might
turn for serious study and, realiz-
ing the sad lack, he surrendered all
his other work to make such an
ideal possible. The Conservatory
when, at last, it opened was a
tribute to him. It had the finest
teachers in the world and all
guided under that mature intellect
and the profound genius that was
Anton Rubinstein. But since his
death that Conservatory has ever
been a greater tribute. For now
we see the full fruits of Rubin-
tein's labors. All those monu-
mental musicians, those dazzling
irtuosos, those brilliant composers
