Violin Forum editor Diana Steiner recently took time from her own performing and teaching career to spend some time with Henri Temianka, who is celebrating his eightieth birthday October 14th with a gala benefit for the California Chamber Symphony Society, which Mr. Temianka founded in 1961. At the gala, his friends Isaac Stern, Dudley Moore, Antoinette Perry, John Perry, Janos Starker, Nathaniel Rosen, The Romeros, and Roger Wagner plus many other music and entertainment celebrities will serenade Temianka with a unique chamber music program. The celebration committee, with members ranging from Victor Borge to Efrem Zimbalist, have planned the evening as a tribute to Mr. Temianka's invaluable contributions to the cultural life of Los Angeles and Southern California as well as to his international accomplishments for more than a half century. Diana Steiner found in violinist/conductor Temianka's life style traits and philosophies that should prove inspirational to string teachers and to students alike.

<p>Individual piano lessons have limitations for peer interaction and cooperation, which leads to insufficient stimulation for children to achieve affective and musical understanding. This paper attempts to set up a piano chamber music program at the fundamental level in the first four years of learning piano, corresponding to children around five to nine years old) to close this gap. The program is a supplementary measure to solve problems deriving from a model of only individual lessons. It assists children in strengthening their existing knowledge as well as developing their abilities. The program is based on Piaget’s theory regarding cognitive development, and it combines theories of musical embodiment and music pedagogy. It promotes a rich musical environment and multiple opportunities for peer interaction so that children can make up for deficiencies arising from a single lesson model, using moderate stimulation from a suitable environment.</p>

Sixtieth Anniversary

The Polish Peasant Party celebrated its sixtieth anniversary last year. Founded in July 1895 in the provincial town of Lwow, its influence was at first confined to the parts of Poland then under Austrian rule. From modest beginnings, however, it eventually came to play a vital role in Polish politics. The important part taken by the peasant in Polish cultural life over the last half century has been largely the achievement of the political peasant movement. It was to give the reborn Polish state one of its greatest political leaders, Wincenty Witos, who three times held the office of Prime Minister between the two wars; and Witos's successor as leader of the Peasant Party was Mr Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, Prime Minister of the war-time Polish Government-in-Exile during some of the most crucial years in Polish history. Inflexibly opposed to the semi-authoritarian regime which ruled Poland during the 'thirties, the party likewise opposed the imposition of Communism on the country after the last war.

International Recognition

On 26 November 1944 Heitor Villa-Lobos made his United States debut with the Janssen Symphony Orchestra in Los Angeles, followed during the ensuing weeks by appearances as composer-conductor in Boston, Chicago, and New York City (where he was also interviewed about his composing methods by Olin Downes, then music critic of The New York Times). All these events changed the composer's life completely: he was suddenly catapulted into the limelight, lionized and feted by prominent persons from musical and cultural life at a reception at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. A long-sought dream had unexpectedly come true: international recognition as a composer and as Latin America's foremost musical figure of his generation.

Using the artwork of Southern-born but Los Angeles-based artist Jerry Weems, this performative autoethnography engages artistic renderings of Black Southern cultural life as lived and historicized; as nostalgia and hauntology; as remembrance and recovery; between the there-and-then and the here-and-now. All of this invokes my own lived experience as a Black man from the South now living in Los Angeles.
