Miss 88 Keys Sees Black and White Circles After Long, Hard Accompanying Sessions
"Miss 88 keys of the K.U. accompanying world" is Marjean Carr, a junior majoring in piano.
"Accompanying three senior_ recitals and the 'Seven Last Words' at the Presbyterian church in one week was fun and interesting, but everything was whirling around in black and white circles by the end of the week," Miss Carr laughed.
A student of Miss Ruth Orcutt, associate piano professor, Miss Carr is a member of Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary music sorority. The organization has chosen her as its delegate to the national convention this summer in New York City.
This dynamo of the ivories began lessons at five years of age and has been going full swing ever since. She began her accompanying career in junior high school when she played for the glee clubs.
"As to my hobby," Miss Carr exclaimed, "accompanying is my avocation and I hope it will be my vacation. However, accompanying is still a man's world and is a hard field to crack."
This tireless worker enjoys her hobby and says, "After the hours of practice, I often know the program better than the soloist. You'd be surprised how much foreign language I pick up after playing for those French, Italian, and German selections."
"Trying experiences come and go in this field," she sighed. "When the music falls from the piano and you catch it with one hand, all you can do is pray that the other hand is still up there playing. Once when I was playing for a singer in Wichita, someone left the stage door open and the pages of the music blew back and forth. The audience was swaying right with me as I played with alternate hands and lunged every other minute to grab a page."
“One of the most embarrassing experiences I’ve ever endured,” Miss Carr grimaced, “was when I was playing the organ during church. The hymnal fell with a one, two, three whang, hitting all three manuals. I turned three shades—one with each sour chord!”
Miss Carr's only grievance is that after she practices the soloists' music, there is hardly time for her own practicing.
