Music
Burke, Kenneth | April 11, 1934 issue

This article discusses two enterprises which, since their series of performances are still in progress, can make the discussion prospectively and retrospectively apropos. It refers to the four concerts by the Roth Quartet—with two more to follow—devoted wholly to contemporary composers, and to the first two of four concerts under the direction of Roy Harris at the New School for Social Research, illustrating musical trends from the medieval 13th century to the "golden age" of the 16th. The very appealing interpretations offered by the Roth Quartet bear up the suspicion that much of the resistance to modern works has been the fault of performers rather than composers.
