INNER VOICES:
Beethoven Starts
Musical Tradition
.4I
. (First of a Series)
By JEFFREY K. CHASE
Beethoven began with the string
quartet legacy left him by Haydn
and Mozart and extended it to in-
clude an enrichment of the sec-
ondary lines, the accompaniment
of quartet writing.
In fact, this growing importance
of the inner voices proved to be
complicated and too "futuristic"
for the comprehension of Bee-
Mosley Sees
Challenges
For Soviets
"The Khrushchev version of
Soviet dictatorship faces a variety
of new challenges to its ingenuity
and adaptability," Prof. Philip E.
Mosely, director of studies of the
Council on Foreign Relations, said
recently.
In a speech at the Midwest
Slavic Conference held at the Uni-
versity last week, Prof. Mosely said
that the dilemmas confronting
Khrushchev are not only new but
also complex, because situations at
home and abroad are growing in-
creasingly difficult.
Prof. Mosely noted that conver-
sion of underdeveloped countries
to Communism "has proven to be
a slow and uncertain one con-
trary to Khrushchev's earlier ex-
pectations. Not a single country
or ruler, except Castro, has volun-
tarily joined the Communist bloc.
More Sophisticated
Soviet. analysis of the prospects
of winning over the developing
nations are now based on A more
sophisticated study of the actual
situations. Prof. Mosely warned,
however, that "it would be sui-
cidal for the American people to
turn back from the struggle and
to leave a free field to poverty and
frustrated hopes - and to Com-
munist ambition."
Khrushchev also faces problems
at home, Prof. Mosely noted. He
has promised his people a better
living condition, yet, "in a pinch,
it is the improvement of the
standard of living at home that is
likely to be postponed, and this
deferment has led to some loss of
enthusiasm and impetus among
the Soviet people."
Delivers Paper
The conference also heard Prof.
George L. Kline of Bryn Mawr
College deliver a paper discussing
possible effects of Khrushchev's
eventual departure from the po-
litical scene. He noted that'Khru-
shchev's leaving may touch off an-
other nave of "revisionism" in the
Soviet Union.
Prof. Kline said that it was dif-
ficult "to predict the further de-
velopment of philosophical revi-
sionism a m o n g contemporary
Marxists.
thoven's public; it was not until
the late nineteenth century that
many of his sixteen quartets were
frequently performed. -
For example, Beethoven's pub-
lisher refused to publish the
"Quartet in B-flat Major," Op.
130, with its original last move-
ment, the "Grosse Fugue," com-
plaining that its complicated in-
ter-weaving of voices made it so
difficult to perform and under-
stand that not enough copies
would be sold. He requested that
Beethoven write another finale.
After much contemplation"and
hesitation Beethoven agreed.
'Ump-bah'
The "ump-bah" introductory
measures of the published sub-
stitute movement are a wry com-
ment on the aesthetical percep-
tions of Peethoven's public. Only
relatively recently has the "Grosse
Fugue" been recognized and ac-
cepted as the logical conclusion
to Op. 130.
This new kind of quartet com-
position posed additional prob-
lems for the performers. They now
must constantly strive to be "more
equal" and more authoritative
both musically and instrumentally.
All four players must have out-
standing competence because the
performance is only as strong as
its weakest member. Beethoven's
quartets necessitated the evolution
of a new kind of performing en-
semble.
In the days of Haydn and Mo-
zart there existed what is called
a "dictator" quartet. It consisted
of a leader, the first violinist and
three subordinates. This was log-
ical, since it was the type of en-
semble' for which quartets were
written, and it reflected the so-
cietal stratification of the time.
Democratic Spirit
But Beethoven was a'post
French-revolution figure. He was
instilled with the spirit of demo-
cratic equality. This . concept is
reflected in his quartet writing
which increasingly requires com-
parable leadership and instru-
mental capacity in each of the
four voices. Ultimately the organi-
zational form required would be
that of a "democratic" quartet.
Joseph Roisman, first violinist
of the Budapest Quartet, explains
that "the Budapest Quartet, or-
ganized in 1920, was one of the
first to break with the older tra-
dition of having one dictator ...
who has everything to say, while
the other three members are see-
ondairy figures.
"We eventually settled this pro,-
lem by becoming a quartet with
four dictators, each fighting for
his own beliefs then compromising
by voting and accepting the ma-
jority decision."
It is no wonder that Beethov-
en's later quartets were not under-
stood during his lifetime. The evo-
lution of the democratic quartet
was needed before these works
could even begin to be performed
with any appreciable degree of
authority, and this process took
almost 100 years.
Levy Lands
Scholarship
In Sororities
By MARY LOU BUTCHER
"Sororities as a whole are doing]
a good job of maintaining aca-
demic awareness," Administrative
Assistant of the Literary College
Stanley R. Levy told members of
Panhellenic Association Presi-
dent's Council Thursday.
"However, I would like to see
sororities begin some new projects
to stimulate academic interest and
performance in the chapters. Per-
haps the scholarship chairmen
from houses in the same area
could work together on building
a library or in sponsoring a fac-
ulty-speaker program," he said.
Levy noted that two-thirds of
women graduates really don't
know what they are going to do
with their education.
"Too often, women think they
have only three care'er alterna-
tives: nursing, physical therapy
or teaching; thii is not the case,"
he said.
"Sometimes we forget women
probably won't have a career. If
they do, it is usually along with
or after raising children," Levy
noted.
"Many women who are married
do have successful careers; I would
like to see the women at the Uni-
versity get more information about
job opportunities," he said.
Levy added that many women
are not aware of the University's
career consultant, Sidney Dykstra,
who could be of much help to
them. k
"I think it is a good idea to
have faculty guests to your houses
with some regularity. Rather than
asking them to speak to your
whole' house, it would be better
to invite them for informal dis-
cussions with four or five girls."
'U' Players' Production
To Include Baird in Cast

perties," Leo Beranek, the acousti-

Boulding Receives
Honorary Degree
Prof. Kenneth E. Boulding of
the economics department was
presented with an honorary degree
by Colgate University last Friday'
at that school's inauguration of
its new president, Vincent Bar-
nett Jr.
Beranek said that one of the
most important factors in a con-
cert hall is the reverberation time
or "after-ring,'' which is the time
necessary for the sound to die out
after the sound source stops play-
ing. The reverberation time affects
the richness and fullness of tone.
Longer Reverberation r
"Symphony Hall in Boston has
a longer reverberation time than
the Philadelphia Orchestra's hall,"
he stated.
"As a result, the Boston Sym-
phony tends to rely on the acous-
tical properties of the hall to pro-
long the notes, while the Philadel-
phia Orchestra musicians prolong
their notes to make up for the
lack of after-ring in their hall."
Beranek said that Hill Aud. has
a short reverberation time-short-
er than that of Philadelphia Hall.
"Consequently, the Philadelphia
Orchestra is better suited to play
here than the Boston Orchestra
which is accustomed to a more
reverberant hall," he said.
Not as Rich
"Another consequence of the
relatively short 1.5 second rever-
beration time of Hill Aud. is that
romantic music would not sound
as rich here as in say, Boston,"
Beranek remarked.
Prof. Marilyn Brown demon-
strated with an organ the rever-
beration time characteristics of
Hill Aug. by playing Bach's Toc-
cata and Fugue in D Minor. Ber-
anek commented that it is thought
that Bach was depending on the
long reverberation tome of large
churches to enhance and sustain
the low notes of this piece.
Sound travels to the listener
direct from the musical instru-
ment and also indirectly after
bouncing off a wall or ceiling. The
time separation between arrival of
the direct note and the first in-
direct reflected note is known as
"the initial time delay gap,"
Beranek said.-
The "initial time delay gap" af-
fects the intimacy of the hall.
When it is short, the hall seems
smaller and more intimate.
'Acoustical Clouds'
"Acoustical clouds," panels hung
from the ceiling, were placed in
Lincoln Center in order to have
reflecting surfaces near the au-
dience. These "clouds" make for
a more "intimate sounding hall,"
Beranek said.
"The ratio of the loudness of the
direct ,'sound to that of the first
reflected sound affects the clarity
of the sound," Beranek said.
He also said that H)ll Aud. had
remarkably clear sound and con-
sequently is well suited for fast
and complicated music. In addition
he commented that the shape of
Hill Aud. distributes the sound
very well throughout the large
hall.
He also mentioned that the 4177
seat Hill Aud. has about twice
the seating capacity of the best
sounding concert halls. Beranek
noted this feature because Hill
Aud. is 50 years old.
Turning to the often criticized
acoustics of Lincoln Center's Phil-
harmonic Hall, Beranek said that
it suffers from a bass deficiency.
"Originally it was planned to have
the 'acoustical clouds' adjustable
with electric motors," he said. "But
for reasons of economy the motors
were left out and now the clouds
cannot be adjusted until the sea-
son is over and scaffolding can be
erected."
He was confident that readjust-
ing the positions of the clouds and
perhaps placing a removable cover
over the organ pipes will correct
the acoustics of Philharmonic Hall.
Oedipus Tex

perform and western movies will
be shown.
Saturday night will end festivi-
ties with Skit Night at 8 p.m. in
Hill Aud. Various fraternities,
sororities and housing units will
perform six skits. The Friars will
also perform. The evening will end
with awards for achievement in
the canoe and buckboard races.
Tickets for both Friday and Sat-
urday night will be available all
