FRIENDSHIP LIBRARY BEANSTALK Dr. Ruth Watanabe, librarian at Sibley Music Library of Eastman School of Music, surveys new music manuscript. 100,000 Items Music Library Sees Space Limit With HARVEY W. SOUTHGATE Democrat and Chronicle Music Editor Opera, Orchestra Concerts On Busy Summer Music List ROCHESTER music, after the present brief intermission, will soon go into its summer tempo, and this as usual ill be a brisk one.

Although we will have only two instead of three "Opera Under the Stars" productions this summer, there will be no slackening off in other departments. In addition to five concerts by the Eastman Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Frederick Fennell, two "extras" are on the Kilbourn Hall schedule in the Eastman school. One is an Evening of Diversified Chamber Music, arranged by Millard Taylor, concertmaster of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, on Tuesday, July 12; the other an organ recital by David Craighead, head of the Eastman School organ department, on Monday, July 18. Late in July Sigurd Rascher, saxophone virtuoso, who will conduct a summer class for the second year here, will present an ensemble from his class in concert.

The summer list also includes a piano recital by Joela Jones, 14-year-old student from Miami, on July 25, and a two-piano concert by Joyce and Joanne Weintraub, twins who have attracted considerable interest here, on July 27. Eugene List, nationally famous American pianist, who is back on the summer school faculty this year, will appear as soloist with the Eastman Chamber Orchestra on July 28. Other soloists in the five-concert orchestra series, all on Thursday nights beginning June 30, will be Eileen Malone, harp; Joseph Mariano, flute; John Celentano, violin; Carolyn Bailey, soprano; Sigurd Rascher, saxophone. For persons who like to combine music with Sunday evening rides, the Linwood School, on the estate of Mr. and Mrs.

William Gratwick, near York, and the Tally-Ho Camp, in the Lima-Livonia region, will offer a full schedule of interesting free concerts. Of course, our two crack Park Bands and maybe some things as yet unscheduled in the parks, will help to fill out other dates in what looks like a well dated season. SPEAKING of summer music, we think one of the most interesting developments of recent years is the increased enrollment of school age students in summer study courses. Except for the exceptionally gifted student, summer time in the past meant a vacation from music study, as from books. Now musically minded young folks are keeping up their studies in the summer because they enjoy it.

The Eastman School preparatory department has a summer session to meet the needs of this growing segment. More are enrolled each year. Classes are arranged to suit those who expect to take vacation trips in the course of the summer. Times have changed indeed when children go to school in vacation time for fun.

The pieces, called Passepied and Valse Triste, were written for Miss Knipper in the summer of 1959. They were received enthusiastically. Both pieces were presented for the first time. Miss Knipper recently received her master of science degree from the Juil-liard School in New York.

Her recital program included Bach's French Suite, the Beethoven Sonata in Major, Op. 109, and two Brahms works, Intermezzo in A Major, Op. 118. and Capriccio in Major, Op. 76.

RECENTLY THE library came into possession of a large collection of music bequeathed to it by the late Geraldine Rhoads Travers, an early member of the Eastman School opera department, long known in Rochester. Among its priceless items is the original manuscript of the words of "Home Sweet Home" as set down more than 100 years ago by John Howard Payne. This was bought in March, 1923, for $1,939.40.

The library is named for Hiram Watson Sibley, Rochester business pioneer, who endowed it as part of the university in 1904, long before the erection of the Eastman School. After the opening of the school the library was transferred there with 7,000 volumes. It is administered under an annual appropriation from the George Eastman endowment, which includes funds for new books and music. The first to hold the title of librarian was Barbara Duncan, who retired in 1947 after 25 years' service. Dr.

Watanabe, who came to the Eastman School in 1942 on a student relocation fellowship, was appointed to the post in July, 1948. She received degrees in piano, English and literature. She was born in Los Angeles of Japanese ancestry. A Music Library Workshop, conducted by Dr. Watanabe, for the fourth consecutive year will be a feature of the Eastman School summer session, Aug.

FREDERICK Fennell has announced his programs for the five concerts by the Eastman Chamber Orchestra beginning on June 30. The concerts will be on successive Thursday evenings and all will be in Kilbourn Hall, Eastman School, except the one on July 14.

In accordance with custom this will be given in Strong Auditorium, River Campus. Dr. Fennell is including a Haydn symphony on each program.

Bigelow's resignation as registrar of the Eastman School of Music was announced recently. He will head back for Co-vina, where he was born and raised. Bigelow studied trombone and theory at the Eastman School from 1951 to 1953, winning his bachelor's and master's degrees. He served in the Navy in World War II. He was assistant to Charles Riker, now director of the Eastman School preparatory department, as director of the Hochstein Music School and became registrar of the Eastman School in 1955.

As registrar he succeeded Arthur H. Larson, who had held the post for 25 years. He also succeeded Riker as Hochstein School director. In 1957-58 he was president of the Culmar Association, a neighborhood community group. He is married to the former Gertrude Euler, a Texas girl, who also came here to study at the Eastman School.

RIDGE SHOPPING CENTER COAftlNG SUMMER evenings will soon be calling Roch-esterians to "Opera under the Stars." The eighth season of these popular events will open on Wednesday, June 29, in the Highland Bowl, with Mozart's "The Magic Flute" as the attraction. A second performance will be given Saturday, July 2.

Two operas only, instead of the usual three, will be given this year. Increased pay for the musicians, with no increase in available funds, has caused the curtailment. Gounod's "Faust" will be the second opera, on July 27 and 30. Director Leonard Treash, who is again in charge of productions, announces that leading roles for "The Magic Flute" will be taken by Henry Nason, tenor; Shirley McGaugh, soprano, and Masako Toribara, soprano from Japan, wife of a University of Rochester professor. All are favorably known to Rochester audi- ences.

"The Magic Flute" has not been heard in Rochester in a number of years. It is a fairy story in which young Prince Ta- SATURDAY JULY 2 12th Annual Grey Knights Tournament of Drums Holiday Show AQUINAS STADIUM Fabulous Fireworks Continuous Entertainment JT IS A law of physics or something that an expanding mass cannot be confined within a fixed space. When the expanding mass gets to be as big as the space confining it, something has to give. Out at the Sibley Music Library of the Eastman School of Music, where new items grow steadily into higher mountains, Dr. Ruth Watanabe, librarian, ponders this scientific problem.

The space between the tops of the mountains and the ceiling grows narrower and there seems to be no way of stopping the growth. It is part of the penalty that the library pays for being one of the largest and most important of its kind in the country. New items continue to come to it at the rate of a thousand or more a year. Dr. Watanabe is encouraged by the fact that the Greater University expansion fund drive includes provision for an addition to the library, which occupies its own building in Swan Street, just across from the Eastman School.

Although the date when this will materialize is still indefinite, eventually, she believes, it will solve a pressing problem, and incidentally emphasize the important place which the library holds in the University system. WHEN THE present two-story building was put up in the early 30s, it was thought that the library problem was solved. It was said that no other music library in the country had its own building. Previously the library was housed in the Eastman School, but it burst its bounds. Now there are more than items, a number exceeded, it is said, only by the music departments of the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library.

Although this primarily is a library for the use of musicians and musicologists, the public in general has found it a boundless source of information. Rare old scores, some of them almost priceless, may be seen but not taken away. Composers whose names are scarcely remembered wrote masses of music that survive in yellowing manuscripts or in antique editions. Opera manuscripts alone run into the thousands. These are from the time of Monteverde, Lully, Gretry in the 15th and 16th centuries all the way to the moderns.

There are 4,000 original editions of all kinds, rare chamber music of the 18th Century. One of the oldest items is a book of essays on methods of music dating back to the 11th Century. In addition to thousands of classified items, the library has 25,000 non-classified. It has one of the most complete record departments in the country, with 150,000 records. It has 110,000 micro-cards for reference purposes.

Among modern items it has manuscripts of all of Dr. Howard Hanson's compositions, and of virtually all of the compositions that have been played in the Festivals of American Mu-ic of the Eastman School You Can We'll guarantee lo make you A popular dancer In 3 hours 4 p- LEONARD TREASH plnvs 'park operas mino undertakes to rescue the Queen of the Night's abducted daughter, Pa-mina.
