Elliot Carter, whom many con-
sider Anerica's finest composer,
is on campus for a concert of his
works ,tonight at ,Hill Auditorium.
Mr. Carter recently returned to
America after a year. as composer-
in-residence for the city of West
Berlin. In an interview .yesterday,
he said thatthe longer he stayed'
In Europe, the more he felt that
American music is more interest-
ing, The significant aspect of
American music Carter felt -is its
pluralism, which is in keeping
with American tradition.
In --:Berlin, .Carter- noted that
"Germany is very anxious to-make
progress in all artistic fields" in
order to: regain. its lost cultural
leadership. Since the recent deaths
of - Paul. Hindemith and Karl
Amadeus Hartmann, the German
government hasbeen encouraging
its young composers. As a result,
young composers such as Hans
Werner Henze receive an amazing
number ,of performances of their
works.
.The lack of performance possi-
bity in America for American
composers enables European com-
posers to become more well-known-

highly successful in Europe. One.
American composer that Carter
met in Berlin was able to get
thirty performances of his flute
concerto in Geitnany, while one
performance of the work would be

The first major change was re-
