FRITZ KREISLER ON ART & LIFE
Influence Of The Mechanical Age
Fritz Kreisler, when he arrived in England to give a series of re- citals had much to say on art and life.
Scated at the tea-table, a chance; remark, led Mr Kreisler to speak of his conception of art as a creative force.
Art," he said, "is a tremendous whole, and we who are its servants are only tiny little insignificant atoms of this great whole. Who- ever thinks himself or his success course, a Important-beyond, of legitimate allowance of natural egoism cannot be an artist.
"This is what people nowadays forget. Success and the outward signs of success are the essentials. Before the war it was not so. A real artist, however poor and un- recognized, was respected for his
· achievement. Nowadays a man
has to be successful before he can gain recognition as an artist.”
Talent Common, Gentus Rare Kreisler considers that the last 30 years have produced very littlé In most branches of art-certainly In music and in painting. The general standard of instrumental playing, on the other hand, has never been so high
"It is impossible even to hear bad vidim or piano playing now." he said. "Everywhere I go I hear seems AS fine fiddlers. But; it
too though the excellence 5+
were evenly distributed, and, there are I no geniuses:
"Stravinsky. Prokovlev, Hinde. nilth-these and others made bril- lant starts But they all grew old before they matured, and their niore recent works are not. of the same quality as their earlier ones. This is not the
with real way
genius."
But Kreisfer does not despair, of the future.
"Nature seems to produce genius in the sphere where it is most needed at any given moment The world after the was needed to be restored and rebuilt. All energy, therefore, went towards science. Invention, "mechanical proficiency. But, later, when towns are rebullt, economic balance is restored, and when flying has become as fast and as safe as it can be, then it may be time for a new generation, of artists to arise.”
He was asked what he thought about the present generation of virtuosos:
"Again," he replied, "there have never been so many brilliant child players. I know many young vio- linists and pianists who play per- fectly from a technical point of view. They can do everything. In fact, too much so, for they have really nothing left to learn, and this means that they do not de- velop the other sides of them- selves...
"Top much attention is given to technique, and musical thought and feeling are rather neglected. But this is a natural reaction from the old days, when there was too much sentimentality
enough, craftsmanship.
