Earlier Art Should Be Judged

In Relation To

Art of another age should ne judged by its performance in re- Iatlon to the events of that per- iod. Dr. John Steegman told a lecture audience at Confedera- tion Centre last night.

Dr. Steegman. a member of

the advisory panel of the Brit- ish Fine Arts Board. London. England. outlined the features of Victorian taste in the first of a series of art lectures arrang cd by the National Gallery of Canada.

Its Own Period

Dr. steegmah pointed out what he considered the fallacy of judging art and taste of a- other age by that of the present. He sa‘d one reason whv Victor ian taste seems unattractive Lu- day is found in our liking for the plain and functional.

"The Victorians considered beauty implied elaboration and decoration -— they found simult- city boring."

He described the Victorians as “enormously prosperous" and

“terrified of the consequences" of their prosperity. This led them to try to capture the spir~ it of another age by copying its

forms. USES SLIDES

In architecture, he said, thev looked back to Gothic, Classical and Renaissance forms. Through slides, with which he illustrated his lecture. Dr. Sieegman point- ed out three of the few examples of contemporary architecture of the age.

Painting of the 1830's he do. scribed as "narrative, sentimen- tal. literary and illustrative. The pre-Raphaelite revolution 0| 1848 was a revolution against triviallities which had character- ized the period.

Dr. Steegman summarized the age as a “complicated period" which " ldn’t really know where it was going".

Dr. Steegman was introduced by Moncrieff Williamson. arl gallery curator.

ZOO Attend Recital By Blind Organist

(The following was written especially for The Guardian by the director of music for P.E.I.)

h Ry CHRISTOPHER GLEDHILL Trini Church, Char- a1

United lottetown, last evening was the scene of an outstanding mus- ical occasion, an organ recital on the fine three-manual Casa- vant by the distinguished Ger- man organist. Professor Mar- tin Guenther Foerstemann of Hamburg.

Foerstemann is already in the forefront of present-day

erman organists, and given recitals in Scandinavia. Spain, Switzerland and other European countries, but this is his first North American tour. a is the first recital that he has ever given on North American soil.

About 200 people attended and gave the recitalist a warm ovation at the close of s recital. which was devoted en- tirely to the works of Johann ebastian Bach. Anyone who may have t ought, on strength of the little-girl—next- door's playing of the two-part invention in F, that Bach is

uIl, must have had to revise their opinions in te light of this exciting, vital perform- ance.

PLAYS FROM THE HEART

Foerstemann plays from the heart. Not his playing lacks intellectual fibre: on the contrary it is intellectual play- ing heated in the crucible of love and understanding of the great German master whose works he played.

He is no sterile purist. Now and then he took some unusual liberties with the text, but they were on the whole justified by the end. He uses a great den of tempo rubato—a very flex- ible rhythm, which is to the

od. Rubato was not invented Chopin—even Mozart speaks its necessity. Occasionally I felt that the rubato was a little excessive inasmuch as there is always a danger of impeding the flow of the music—but I admit that this is a somewhat subjective judg-

0 deg

facile and vulgar "effect". In Bach the details are always

so entrancing that it is always tempting to linger over them. ORGANISTS CAN LEARN Where Foerstemann showed was e ex-

polyphonic texture. 1y hope that all organists who heard him will learn much from this admirable lesson by a truly eat and humble artist.

I almost forgot to mention— Foerstemann bl nd. He must memorize every note. In

1; 5 this he is helped by his wife,

also an accomplished organist. who dictates new works him, during recitals as- slats with the registration. Dur- ing the playing of “Jean, joy of man's desiring" she even provided a third hand on the keyboards to play the chorale melody. a delightful» example of conjugal co-operation.

The Federal (West) German government is to be heartily congratulated on

ro- O

an its initiative in providing trans- portation for this fine organ- ‘ . n German they take Lnusic seriously—as it should e.

Despite continued denials ru- mors persist that a private con corn with local interests plans to

establish an aircraft plant in Charlottetown.

l Strong minors suggest Pratt and W ' m nuf e aircraft engines. and Carl Burke. former president of

Maritime Central Airways. are to join forces here.

It has beeen further suggested the proposed plant may be on ' the site of the now closing Ena- mel and Heating Products Ltd and that the new firm might be awarded a contract to repair and maintain helicopters.
