Advantage to Know Composers Personally, Saves Kindler, Cellist
Selection

Hans Kindler, the famous cellist who is appearing here in a Joint concert with Miss Gladys Swarthouk, mozzo-spraggon, Monday, Oct. 12, under the auspices of the University concert course, says, "One of the great advantages of playing contemporary works is the opportunity one has to meet and talk to the composer. Meeting composers in the music department composers whose works I play I count among the happiest experiences of my life, and the most profitable."
It is through his personal acquaintance with the writers of the selections that he plays, that Mr. Kinder understands, interpret their works so emotionally.
For all his success in classical music for the cello, and in introducing modern works, the great Dudel cellist does not scorn the so-called "popular" selection. "Many people," he says, "like music which is interesting only
in its direct appeal to the ear, and these people form a huge public which will contribute largely to the ever increasing body of music lovers who enjoy the more highly developed forms.
"A good tune has won many a person hitherto uninterested in music over to the fold. The tune itself may be of no great significance musically, but if it has helped to make a music by is no means to be despised."
Mr. Kindler has been very enthusi-
matically received wherever he has
given concerts. The public and the
musicmen anomnia in their praise of his art.
