...call for Composer Henry Eichheim, a great traveler since he stopped playing the violin in the Boston Symphony. Composer Eichheim was mightily impressed with the subtle variations the Balinese weave around their five-tone scale. His own Bali, a recording of these impressions, was played in Philadelphia by Leopold Stokowski to whom it was dedicated. A magnificent orchestration, replete with Balinese gongs and percussives, gave it true exotic coloring...
Thanks to Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co., makers of Chesterfield cigarets, radio listeners, starting next Tuesday, will be able to hear the highest type of symphonic music every night of the week but Sunday for some time to come. The programs will be given by expensive Leopold Stokowski and 65 members of his peerless Philadelphia Orchestra, from 9 to 9:15 (E. S. T.). First night, Nov. 28: excerpts from Parsifal. Each Philadelphia Orchestraman will earn $12 per broadcast...

The much talked-of Wozzeck, which the Philadelphia Grand Opera Company put on, is a Schönberg stepchild. His pupil Alban Berg wrote...
...mild little man not a bit fierce or radical in his comments on music or German politics. This week Schönberg classes began in Boston and New York. Paying pupils were few. Some 50 would-be composers had sent in scores, hoping to win scholarships offered by Stokowski, George Gershwin, Mrs. A. Lincoln Filene of Boston and the Steinway and Knabe Piano Companies. But if it was impossible to prophesy what importance Schönberg would have as a teacher in the U.S., the reception given him as a composer testified to the fact that he is no longer...
Philadelphia's fair-haired maestro discovered Rodzinski nine years ago in Warsaw, a quiet, determined young man of 30 who was conducting at the opera house instead of following the law career for which his parents had educated him. Stokowski invited Rodzinski to be his assistant in Philadelphia. He stayed there four years, then went to Los Angeles which began to have its financial worries last winter when William Andrews Clark Jr. announced that he could support the Or chestra for only one more season (TIME, Oct. 30). Los Angeles like Cleveland needed a new conductor for the sake...
