Staff Writer
In the early 1700's, in Florence,
Italy, Prince Ferdinand, who loved
music looked at a new revolution
ary instrument that had Just been
invented and said: "I shall be glad
to play this instrument, but I hope
I shall never have to understand
it." The instrument? A piano-or
pianoforte, if you prefer.
According to the American
Music Conference, there are 20,000
people playing the piano. More
statistics: There are 25,000 con
tact points and 8,000 moving parts.
Using the saxophone, a rela
tively new instrument, drums, the
oldest instrument, and the geniac
of the musical world-the piano, a
jazz trio can produce sounds that
Bach never intended to be per
formed, or did he?
Music Progrees
There is a lot of evidence that
the old masters would have dug
some of the sounds that the more
serious Jazzophiles are producing.
Don't forget, an artr'can never be
static, and the weird sounds of
Kenton are just as much legiti
mate as the striking counterpoint
of Bach.
This of course excludes rock 'n
roll, which bears more resemblance
to Aztec fertility rites than to
music, but it explains why jazz has
finally earned its place in the musi
cal world.
Among some of the oddities of
music that will be fully explored
on Classic Musical, on WUSC,
there is a delightful bit of non'
sense about an orgy. The record is
an Angel recording of the Sadler
Wells Silver Jubilee, and bears
listening to.
Musical Joe
Among other compositions to be
explored are Mozart's "Musical
Joke," how Beethoven's Fifth Sym
.phony would have sounded had
Beethoven left in some of his orig
inal sketches and many others.
Though the "Gamecock" goes to
press before the Roger Wagner
Chorale performs, I'4 like to take
this opportunity to thank Mackie
Quave, host on WIS's popular
"Nocturne," and Joe Pinner, of
WNOK radio. Both helped tremen
dously in the advancement of this
series - our thanks'to them and
others who have labored without

In response to, a diminishing
