COMMENTS ON CONCERTOS:
Bartok's Second Came First

By JEFFREY K. CHASE
"What many people call Bela
Bartok's second violin concerto is
really his first, and what they call
his first. I do not consider a real
concerto at all," Tossy Splvakov-
sky, guest violinist with the Phil-
harmonia Hungarica, stated yes-
terday before his concert.
He explained that at the time of
the composition of the so-called
second concerto, in 1937-38, the
first concerto did not exist at all.
Its first movement was a slow
fragment Bartok called a "Por-
trait" and its second and last
movement, an allegro which exist-
ed separately as a piece Bartok
had written about 1905..
It was dedicated to his dear
friend and concert violinist Steffie
Geyer, who never permitted per-
formance of the piece.
When Miss Geyer died a few
years ago, these two separate
movements were juxtaposed by the
Swiss conductor Paul Sacher. The
resulting combination was called
Bartok's first violin concerto be-
cause both sections had been com-
posed before the "real" violin con-
certo.
Didn't Hear Premiere
"Bartok was unable to hear the
world premiere of the second con-
certo in Amsterdam in 1939 per-
formed by Zoltan Szekely, who
commissioned the work," the
Odessa-born Spivakovsky noted,
"so that when he moved to the

United States during World War
II, he was most anxious to hear it,
realizing that he was stricken by a
fatal illness and might not live
much longer. h A
"I was soloist in the first Ameri-
can performance, in Cleveland in
January, 1943, with Artur Rodzin-
ski conducting. In the same month
Rodzinski and I performed this
work in Pittsburg. But each time
economic reasons prevented Bar-
tok, living in New York, from at-
tending."
Spivakovsky vividly remembers
that when Rodzinski was engaged
as permanent conductor of the
New York Philharmonic, he felt it
almost a moral obligation to pro-
gram the concerto during his first
season so Bartok would have a
chance to hear his composition.
Again, Spivakovsky was soloist.
Bartok at Rehearsals
Because the work was still soi.
new, at that time, Rodzinski was
anxious for Bartok to attend thei
rehearsals and make suggestions.
Bartok insisted that both endings
of the concerto, the first with or-
chestra only and the second which
combines the orchestra and solo
instrument, should be performed.
He then decided that the violin
joining the orchestra for the con-
clusion was more appropriate.
Ithis-this ending, composed only
at the request of Szekely, who felt
the soloist should join with the
orchestra, which has become the
standard. Bartok was very pleased f
with the concerto."
Spivakovsky mentioned that this
work, like all of Bartok's music7
written after 1905, is imbued with
the spirit of the Hungarian folk;
atmosphere with which Bartokf
had such intimate contact. But it
is in this work that Bartok, who
once said that he tried to take ad-
vantage of all the musical re-
sources there are, also used a le-
gato second theme in the first
movement which is suggestive of
the twelve-tone technique.
The principal of thematic varia-
tion plays a major part in the con-f
struction of this concerto, with the
two outer movements employing
the same theme, which undergoesf
the process of continual metamor-i
phosis, and a middle movementf

CHANGES.
IF C, Ask s
JIFCCu
The Interfraternity Council's
junior and senior officers have
recommended the elimination of
the Junior Interfraternity Coun-
cil and announced the reorganiza-
tion of the IFC's committee struc-
ture.
The elimination of JIFC, which
nity Presidents' Assembly, repre-
must be approved by the Frater-.
sents more a transfer of authority
than an elimination of services,
according to IFC president Clif-
ford Taylor, 64.
"All activities now handled by
JIFC would be covered by the IFC
committees," he said.
Better Financing
The officers felt that the IFC
could finance activities better than
JIFC and would have more con-
tinuity in its actions.
"Also in the past, JIFC has
often been ineffective in its ac-
tions and many of those working
in JIFC have been discouraged
from continuing on into IFC,"
Taylor commented.
The IFC will now function with
five committees instead of the
previous eight.
New Committee Structure
Committees formed were the
Special Events Committee, to di-
rect IFC-sponsored special events;
the Services Committee, to co-
ordinate all services that IFC of.
fers to its member houses; the
Campus Projects Committee, td
wvork on projects benefitting the
campus in general; the Publica-
tions Committee, to centralize all
IFC printing efforts, and Rush,
which will continue to supervise
the rushing program.

tion as an ex-officio member of

Keppel Hits
Collegre Bill.

Collegiate Press Service
CHICAGO - Terming the $1.2
million, college construction act"
very limited federal aid, United,
States commissioner of Education
Francis Keppel and other offi-
cials briefed educators Thursday
on the contents of the act.
Keppel addressed more than 700
persons from 11 states, including
Assistant to the Vice-President for
Business and Finance John Mc-
Kevitt and Romney administra-
tion officials at the fourth of a
series of regional meetings on the
higher education, vocational edu-
cation and mental health facilities
acts passed last year by Congress.
The college construction act "is
literally federal stimulation and
nothing more," Keppel declared.
The act's success will depend on
state and private contribution in'
matching funds, he warned.
New Unit For Act
Reviewing the procedures of
gaining federal funds, Assistant
Commissioner of Education Peter
Muirhead 'said that a new unit
will be established in the Office
of Education to' administer the
act.
Also discussed were the require-
ments for commissions to admin-
ister the act within each state.
Michigan lacks the required edu-
cation-public body needed to draw
up a plan for statewide use of fed-
eral funds.
However, McKevitt indicated
that he did not believe the lack of
an agency will create a bottle-
neck. The University is continu-
ing to work on its plans to re-
quest federal aid for a more than
$3 million library additions build-
ing.

New Post

The committee .also has the re-
sponsibility of examining mem-
bership statements for adequacy.
The statements, required of all
student organizations by the mem-
bership regulations, must. list all
criteria used by a group in select-
ing its members.
The motion to rescind the ad-
dition of the ISA president to
Council came from Interfratern-
ity Council President Clifford
Taylor, '64. A decision rendered
his original motion to reconsider
the action out of order.
Executive Vice-President Thom-

By MARY LOU BUTCHER

APPROVES APPOINTMENTS:
SGC Changes Membership Regulations

SGC is interested in students
who are responsible to the student
body, not those who can lend ex-
pertise, he asserted.
"I do not feel that I am a mem-
ber of Council because I lend ex-
pertise. There are others who are
much more knowledgeable of the
fraternity system than I.'
He suggested that the matter of
expertise should be handled
through Council's committee sys-
tem.
Not Representative
Taylor also objected to the fact
that ISA may elect an American
student as president, and thus is
not truly representative of foreign
students.
He also said that it was his un-
derstanding that the group held
infrequent meetings and was run
by a "power elite."
ISA President Isaac Adalemo,
Grad, denied Taylor's allegations
and said that Taylor got his facts
from "uninformed sources." Ada-
lemo invited any member of Coun-
cil to visit the ISA center to ask
questions or inspect the organiza-
tion's records.
Wants Two-Thirds Majority
Council President Russell Ep-
rescinding - the action stated, "I
don't feel we should send this to
the Regents unless we still have
two-thirds in favor, as, we did
ker, '64 BAd, argued in favor of
when we passed it."
The addition of an ex-officio
must be approved by the Regents
since it involves a change in the
Council plan-SGC's constitution.
Following the 10-7 defeat of
Taylor's motion, Michael Knapp,
'64, proposed 'that those opposed
to the Nov. 20 action submit a let-
ter to the Regents listing the rea-
sons for their opposition.
Epker indicated that he would
sign such a letter "as an individu-
al, not as Council president."
He has already sent one letter
to the Regents, in his capacity as
president, explaining Council's
rationale for the addition of the
ex-officio.
