Wlth him were Mr., Dushkin's brother, Samuel Dush- kmn, noted viélinist.- Gita Gradova,,*planist and eMrs. 'Charles Goodspeed. Mr. .Stravlnsky ..vas very enthusia'stic about Mr. Dushkin's school, and'thinks that it is the most unique and, pro 1mis- ing. one of:'its.e kind that lie, bas seen in ail his world travels.. "Neyer have I seen ayshowitli so, much 'joy of work'," Mr., Stravinskysaid in Frenchi, as he watched the, cbildren. He explained the dif-' ferences between "listening» and. "hearing," and stated that personal participation is absolutely essential in the latter. Hie remnarked that, these groups are dealing with sensitive and sopbisticated. music and are having a grand time doing it.. The great master spent -about three hours. at the school, and during that time hie played some of his own, compositions. Mr. Stravinsky and Samuel Dusbkin 'are now on tour, but wilI retuFn in Marcb when the former w.ilI give a recital- at the Dushkin studio for the b)enefi t of a 'scholarship fund that David D'islkin is starting, Stravinsky, bora near Petrograd, is" now a resi- dlent of Paris. lie planned to become a lawyer and to that end devoted ail his study and time,. taking up music only as an avocatiô'n. It was not until h. met Rimsky-Korsakow in Heidelberg in 1902 that he forsook the stizdy of law and took up music seriously. He studied witb the great Russian composer for two years and, emerged a miaster of barmony and orchestration. In 1905 he began bis first syniphony which he finished two years later. It was through the -Scherzo Fantastique" that h. met Serge Diag- hilev, the Russian choreographic master, who persuaded Stravinsky to collaborate on the pro- duction of the ballet "The Pirebird." In 1911,. the. foIlowing year, Stravinskyproduced "Petruska," *also with Diaghilev. These and bis other works caused Stravinsky to be received with both acclaimi and- censure, but they also brougit' him. fame an d recognition as , ne.of the most important figures in the world of music. His "Rites of Springtime," written in 1913, shook the conventional music world froui stem to stern, as many of bis later worlçs have At the~ thre nrecedino iconcerts <of the Chi- iStravinsky conducted of bis own works. the. clubviilb. :Mns.
