Many people have the idea that any one who plays (he piano (or organ) fairly well is able to play an accompaniment and become an accompanist. In other words they consider the accompaniment sec ondary—something that must be there, but does not amount to a great deal, and something which any one might perform. Nothing could be further from the truth. A person may be a great solo performer yet know nothing i bout accompaniments and make a dismal failure of them. One reason for this is that a solo player has everything his or her own way, and plays the composition in a way to individ ualize his 01 her playing. An ac companist, however, must learn to be the background of the per formance, yet never forget that he is in the picture and as important a part as the soloist. In reality he is the more important of the two. because on him rests the suc cess or failure of the performance. We all know of cases where the accompanist ruined the entire per formance, and other cases where he or she has saved the singer from utter failure. People repeatedly ask, "how can I learn to plav accompaniments?" Several things are necessary. An accompanist must have good tech nique, for the natural taste and finish in accompaniment playing cannot: develop without technique, and without it few accompani ments would be possible. Hut in creasing power of execution does not necessarily bring with it in creasing ability to accompany well. Then, one must be a good reader—be able to read anything reasonable practically at sight. I say ''anything reasonable" because some of the modern music (such as I referred to in last week's col umn) is so difficult and out of all reason, that no one could be ex pected to read it at sight. Now, assuming that a person has sufficient technique, and can read sufficiently well, he must also have intelligence back of it. He should be able to watch the words of a song and to understand thein. and be on the alert for anything the singer may do. Every expres sion mark must be noted and he must be on the alert for any emer gency. It is the singer's business to impart to the audience the meaning of the song, and the ac companist must also realize what the singer is to do. Event the most inexperienced singers instantly know whether they are well accompanied or not. The sensation is two-fold — free dom on one hand and support 011 the other. An accompanist who THE GUILFORDIAN lias freedom does not hinder by his performance the singer's own natural deihery of the piece as to style, breathing, etc.; and when the nature of a passage to be ex ecuted requires greater power on the singer's part, that support is at once at hand in the accompan ist. The true accompanist is one who feels every moods of the sing er and is able to understand and put himself in the atmosphere of the song. The task is not an easy one. FREE SCHOLARSHIPS Review of Reviews Awards Them for Summer Work. College men who earn a large part or all of their college ex penses wil! doubtless be greatly in terested again this year in the free scholarships offered under the di rection of their fund to self-sup porting students. For the past six years over 1,200 students hav won free cash scholarships worth #IOO to f 1,000 apiece. President Wilson, together with live prominent college presidents, lias endorsed this plan of award ing free scholarships to ambitious students. A certificate of such endorsement is placed in the hands of every student whose ap § plication for enrollment as a can didate is accepted. These scholarships are not com petitive in any sense of the word but are available to any student of good character. Each student is apportioned an exclusive radius. The scholarship is won, not for class room efficiency, but for prac tical work during the summer months or in spare time through the college year. College employment bureaus from Maine to California recom mend this plan as a sure means of meeting college expenses for self supporting students. The work possesses a dignity and distinc tion which invariably appeals to the college men. It is always con genial and eminently satisfactory financially. Over i 5( scholarships were awarded students the past summer. Mr. Arthur Ilenkel, of Valparaiso University, winning a #I.OOO scholarship by 10 weeks work.
