There's much in common betweenthe greats of yesteryear, Bach, Beethoven geniuses. We bury them In mediocrity. Maybe this is why educational groups don't ask me to speak to them." About John Gross: "His modern symphony, performed in Germany, has a last movement so exciting that I wanted to stand up and throw my hat in the speaker composes his speech." About Phoenix: "It has a tremendous upward thrust that thrills one." About education: "It Is trying to make conformists out of all of us discounts those who would transform us. Only recently in New York is there a school for turns.

That is why you can never hear a Bach fugue twice without hearing it differently. That is why it endures." About Bach: "This you listen to both emotionally and intellectually."

Rosemary Walker, Mrs. Eugene T. Garrett Jr. Mrs. Ned Creighton, 7000 Wilder Lane "Will Durant's 'History of Civilization'.

Jeffries, 4134 N. 25th St. "There's Just one the Bible. It seems so obvious. It tells us how to live.

All living is based on what the Bible teaches the way we raise our children, the way we treat our friends, the way we act toward our business associates."

I don't always LIKE what they do but I respect it." "Daddy-O," as he is known to them, tried as a teacher never to dictate what they did with their technique only to make it a sound one. "Jazz artists today are using the greatest techniques of the masters of yesterday, letting rhythm create the melody without always being obvious. Call it 'kitchen' melody if you like.

It is the way you battle against inertia, by listening to (or seeing and letting it speak to you) something new in art." 0 NOTES TO GREATNESS Can you believe that a great symphony could be based on two notes? No? Well, Beethoven did it! The first two notes of his Fifth set the stage and theme for an entire symphony.

Wesley LaViolette, poet, philosopher, composer, who spoke to the Phoenix Symphony Guild at their preview tea yesterday. "Good construction is a basic to art in any of its forms music, poetry, drama. It really doesn't matter, actually, whether you LIKE it now. The thing that matters is construction. The same thing that matters in architecture.

The boys who write good progressive jazz today are America's musical contribution to tomorrow," he said in an earlier interview at the home of his hostess, Mrs. J. Urban Linde.
