She changed very Iiffle in fhe lasf fen years of her life when I knew her. There was much youfh and resfless spirii' alien fo fhe ordinary woman of sixfy-five. And l am sure 'rhaf when she was sixfeen and in fhe midsf of building a career fhere was more mafurify fhan mos? sixfeen-year-olds possess. Many musicians find fhemselves ouf of dafe in fheir lofer years- venerable remainders of anofher age. This seems fo be less so of scienfisfs or sfafesmen who are more accusfomed fo 'rhe consfancy of change. Buf arfisfs who grow up and idenfify fhemselves wifh a parficular period in music find adiusfmenf very difficuli' when fhey ouf-live fhaf period. Richard Sfrauss is 'rhe prime example of fhis. Alexander Silofi and Josef Lhevinne were confemporaries of Madame buf for fhe lasf several years of fheir lives fhey were augusf old genflemen, rafher aghasf af Olga's musical doings. Wi+h Madame if was never a mafier of keeping up fo dafe buf rafher The confinual applicafion of all she observed and absorbed and fhe force of her mafurify applied fo 'rhe changing paHern of life. So many fhings bear 'rhis ouf. Her acfivify in so many branches of music as fhe need and opporfunify arose, her broad concepf of music and ifs relafion fo fhe ofher arfs and sciences, her ioy in fhe creafion of new fhings. And because if was in youfh fhaf she found so much, if was fo youfh fhaf she gave so much, and fo youfh fhaf she looked for fhe answer fo so many of 'rheir own and fhe world's problems. John Erskine said in final fesfamenf, She fhoughf of youfh as seffing fhe fone of life, nof simply as fhe prelude fo old age. She fhoughf we should all grow old young.

Why will one musician sfress phrases Thai are passed over by anofher? Why such a variely of fempi? Why do we prefer one inlerprefarion +o anolher? These quesiions resolve, beyond fhe lechnical considerarions, info The general answer 'rhal' people feel music dif- ferenily. The in'l'erprel'a+ive feel of music comes from our inner self. The s+uden'r should develop his own po'ren'riali+ies and beware of copying any arlisi no ma'H'er how much he likes him. Only in expressing oneself is ir possible ro achieve +he inferprelalion +ha+ is righr for oneself. No 'lwo people are pul logelher in exac+ly lhe same way. Malure inlerpre- lalive abilily requires much Jrhoughr and srudy of fields noi concerned wiih Technique. Even afier lll'l'll7Tlf0 observa+ion of dynamics, phras- ing, and so Torlh, rhere srill remains an infini+e number of possible varia- lions. This is where 'ralenl' responds io personalily, fhe elemenl' fha? represenls +he sum +o'ral of 'rhe individual. Teachers urge Their pupils 'ro sludy background maferial, 'ro read widely, pariicularly hisrory, bio- graphy, and 'rhe cullure of 'lhe counlries and composers whose music he plays. This will enrich his personaliry and consequen+ly his inferpreralive abiliiy. Needless +o say some srudenls are more highly gifled -rhan olhers. So much fhe grealer is +he responsibilily lo Turn fo accoun'r rheir pofen- 'riali'ries. The Tour or five years of Conservalory slrudy ,should be simply The beginning-'rhe iniliarion for one who sincerely desires +0 become a fine musician. If a s+uden+ graduales wifh The deierminafion 'ro go on developing his laienr abiliries and carches a glimpse of rhe possibili- lies which are before him, he will have learned much.
