THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE CLASSIC GUITAR ASSOCIAT IO N

:'IJ 0. 2 AUGUST-SEPTEMBER, 1951

THE CLASSIC GUITAQ ASSOCIATION is now firmly established as

an internatio,na.J organisation with members in more than twenty lands . These
include distinguished Professors of Cons·~vafoires and Academies, well-
known guitar recitalists, teachers, compo,sers, arrangers and publishers,
organisers of guita1r societi-es and tlh ose who play and study the guitar for
sheer enjo,yment and interest- in fact the salt ol the guitaristic earth I They
band themselv•es together to protect the dignity of the legitimate guitar.

CONTEMPOQAQY GUITAQISTS (2)

Karl Scheit, seventh child of a musical family, was born o n April 21st,
1909, ,at Sthonbrunn in former Austrian-Sil esia, though soon afterwards the
family moved to Linz on the Danube . Hi s father, conductor of a mili tary
band , was a g ifted and versatile musician who took a keen interest in the
musical ed ucation of his children ( each of whom lea rned a different
instru m'e nt), though he did not wish any of them to become professional
mus icia ns . Little Karl learned to play the violin and gained some knowledge
of the other inst ruments as well.
At the age of fifteen Karl became .acquainted with the guitar through
the Youth Movement where it was used to accompa ny songs. He soon
noticed that the instrument was not fully utilised, being played only in the
lower positions. One day he fou nd a trio for guitar , clarinet and flu te by
Kreutzer . This gave much more scope for the gu•itar a nd after considerable
study he played it ,,·ith his father and brother. But fath er S cheit , who wanted
Karl to become a Doctor, disapproved of his new enth usiasm for the guitar
and banned the instrument from t he house. H e would have been surprised
if he could have seen what happened when he went out! Karl had hi s guitar
hidden behind a corner cupboard , so when the coast was clear he hauled it up
by means of a long string and practised with fiery zeal .
H aving been made conductor of the Youth Movement Cho,ir at the age or
si xteen, he arranged a concert in Linz, playing guitar solos by Bac h a nd de
Visee between the choral items. His playi ng was so successful that he resolved
to concentrate on the guitar. This ca used a dispute with his father so Karl
left secreth- for Vienna.
Li fe i~ the city was difficult for the young man. By giving lessons a nd
with secret help from his mother he just ma naged to keep his head a bove
water. H e attended the Vi enn a Music Academy for lectures on Gui tar a nd
Theory of Music, but was disappointed at the o'd-fashi oned way of teaching
the guitar and the choice of music . H e visited all the well-known guitar
teachers in Vienna in · the hope of learning something. H e imagi ned
instruction such as he was acc ustomed to on the violi n, but was disa ppointed.
Then Miguel Llobet came to Vienn a. With r evived enthusiasm K arl
spent his small savings follow ing the master through the provincial tow ns to
hear him again a nd again . His meeting with Segovia was a decisivJ influence
2 GUITAR Naws August-September, 1961

a nd this great artist filled him with new courage.

Scheit's love for th e music o.f Bach induced him to mak e a special study
of that master's lu te composi t.on s. After careful preparation he played this
music on his g uitar to several well-known musicians in Vienna because he was
of the opinion that only through worth-while music could good musicians be
won for the guitar. He must have made a good impression for soon he was
invited to take pa rt in the concerts of the Vienna Bach Circle and the
Collegi um Musicum Mertin. Th ese concerts were visited mostly bi)' profes-
sional musicians so Scheit soon became known in those circles which set the
standard . "In order to perfect his Bach playing he undertook studies with J.
. David, the eminent Austrian composer and a d istinguished student of
Bach. One happy result of this was the composition by David of a trio for
flute, viola a nd guitar (ded:cated to Karl Scheit), followed by further com-
positions for the guita.r.
The great producer, Max Reinhardt , was always interested in anything
out of the ordinary, so he asked Scheit to play after one of the performances
at the Schonbrunn Castle Thea tre. He was so taken by Scheit 's Bach play-
ing that he arranged for him to play at the Salzburg Festival at Castle Lepold-
skron. At ·that time Reinhardt was producing Shakespeare 's "As you: Like
It" and he commissioned Scheit to provide the music, Reinhardt 's art setting
off the important role of the guitar.
Scheit has always been convinced that the guitar should be in\roduced
side by side with the violin and piano as a subject of study in s,econdary
schools and teacher's Tra ining Colleges. In this connection Scheit achieved
successful results in the State Educational Establishments for boys and girls.
If at first not many enrolled for g uitar lessons Scheit's enthusiasm infected his
pupils so that they brought their friends and the numbers steadily increased.
At the age of 24 Karl Scheit was appointed Professor of the Guitar -
(theory a nd practice of guitar playing ) at the Vienna Music Academy in 1933
on the prop{)!Sal of P rof. Dr. Donath , director of the Musikpadagogischen
Seminars.
In order to ensure the continued gro~th of guitar playing he formed
classes in Evening Schools a nd Institutes , and in due course he was able to
hand over this field of activit:es to some of his pupils . '
Karl Scheit' s techn ique was self-taught. Practice before a large mirror
enabled him to control the moti ons of h is fingers and eliminate superfluous
movements. He also made use of his technical knowledge of the violin for
his studies of the guitar a nd together with Schaler, a violinist and composer,
compiled a m ethod for the guitar which was published in 1936 by Universal
Edition, Vienna. H e is continuously bringing out works for the guitar
which serve not only as instruct ional material but are also suitable as concert
solos; these includ e tra nscriptions of lute music (Weiss, Dowland , Morley, .
etc.) His efforts to interest· contemporary composers in the guitar resulted '
in a _succession of valuable new works by W . Burkhart, J. N. Diavid, J.
Lechthaller, A. Uhl, E. Wray, e tc.
· In spite of his many activities in Vienna he has made concert tours of
all the well-known towns of Austria and also Germany, Norway, Czecho-
slovakia and Hungary. Further and more extensive tours are anticipated.
He has given many broadcasts.
In 1949, with pupils and friends, he founded the guitar society
"Gesellschaft der Gitarrefreunde" of which he is Honorary President.

DESEQT ADVENTUQE
The profession of one of the British members of the Classic Guitar
Associatiop takes him into the Sudanese desert. With a truck-load of equip-
ment he often passes considerable periods ir. this barren solitude. His Mart,n
guitar goes with him on these journeys-a highly valued comp.anion in the
hour of relaxation. ·
On New Year's eve the lorriY, was parked for the night at a place where
there was some dry grass. Our friend's wife was with him on this occasion
in addition to the servants. At 9.30 on the morning of New Year's Day the
lorry caught fire and was completely destroyed with all its contents, including
equipment, guitar and music. The grass was set alight bjy1the flames so all
had to run for their lives from the spreading fire . They were nine miles from
the nearest water (it might have been 40 !) and it took a week to reach
Khartoum. There they re-equipped for the next expedition and the guitar
was replaced with another bought in Khartoum. By \an extraordinary coin-
cidence it was a Martin, almost identical with the one destroyed in the fire
and in perfect condition. It had been left in Khartoum by some Ameridan
missionaries.

British Broadcasting
There are seve ral· B.B.C . Pro-
grammes in which the listener
requests the playing of some par-
ticular record. Although a propor-
tion of the requests are for good
light music or singing, some items
chosen are either of the "Bells across
the Barnyard" type of sentimental
stuff, or else jazz-in varying
degrees of musical depravity. lt
was, therefore, an unexpected plea.-
sure to hear the request for a
Segovia recording from a listener
at Chepstow in a recent "Down
Your 'Nay" prog·ramme conducted
by the genial Richard Dimbleby.
Victoria Kingsley wias heard on
May 24th singing with her guitar
traditional folk songs of Surrey,
Somerset , Cornwall and Ireland.
Also Arne's "Where the Bee

"Ye r ~ a" - Federico Garcia
Lorca's drama was revived in a
broadcast on June 16th. Julian
Bream anti Desmond Dupre played
guitars in the music which was so
suitably set by EduardOI M. Torner.
.a song, the wild rhythmic dancing
and the exquisite notes at the end of
the drama were the high spots of the
guitar playing.
The Suite in D minor for guitar
by Robert de Visee broadcast by
Julmn Bream on June 20th, and
repeated on July 3rd, was absolutely
delightful. Authorities disagree
about the country o:f origin of the
17th century guitarist who composed
this music; Portugal, Spain and
France having been mentioned by
various writers. He ,WIS taught by
Francisco Corbetta and wrote three
books of music for the five-stringed
Spanish guitar. These were pub-
lished in 1682, 1686, and 1689, and
dedicated to Louis XIV of France
who was one of his pupils.
Julian Bream was he!ard in other
programmes accompanying with his
guitar the fine soprano voice of
Victoria de los Ange1es.
On July 1st he played "Adelita
(Tarrega) and Two Mexictan Songs
(Ponce) m a "South American
Way" programme, his sensitive
rendering of these solos was most
enjoyable.

"H OMENAJES "
Guitarists in Britain were inter-
ested to hear Manuel de Falla'~
"Homenaje a Debussy" played by
an orchestm for the first time in
Britain on April 21st.
According to the notes contri-
buted by Deryck Cooke in "Radio
Times," Falla, in 1939, collected
four pieces which he had dedicated
respectively to Fernandez Arbos,
Claude Debussy, Paul Dukas and
Felipe Pedrell and orchestrated them
to form a symphonic suite.
We thought that "Homenaje a
Debussy'' gained little from orches-
tration; the lack of the distinctive
tone colours of the guitar showed
how perfect was Falla's original
inspiration in choosing that instru-
ment. ,
Mr. Cooke states that "Homenaje
a Dukas" was also originally com-
posed for guitar solo and published
