24. Walter Piston, Practical Theorist
    Mark DeVoto fondly remembers the composer on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Focus is on his clarity of thought as musician, composer, and writer.

    Extractions: Invited colloquium, Harvard University, 1994. 12 pages + 4 pp. handout. Complete text available from the author. It hardly seems possible that Walter Piston would be a century old this year. Or even that it was eighteen years ago that he died. It doesn't even seem thirty-four years ago that he retired from Harvard, so vivid is the memory of the man himself to many of us. But perhaps even more vivid than our personal memories of Walter Piston, which include his total dedication to his art, his quiet wit, his charm, modesty, generosity, and reserve, even more vivid than these is the legacy of his teaching, which so many of us knew so well and continue to know so well today because of the enduring value of his writings. Many others have written about his compositions, which after a period of eclipse that was perhaps inevitable, even in Boston, are beginning to emerge again with the vigorous attention that they deserve. But it's the Piston of his four books that I particularly want to speak about today, in part because of our work together on Harmony, but also because I so much admire his economical, precise prose style. I suppose that everyone knows that Piston got a certificate in draftsmanship from the Massachusetts College of Art even before entering Harvard to study music, and that his calligraphic scores were the basis of facsimile editions of many of his works. But I'm willing to hazard the suggestion that Piston might well have been able to make a decent living as a writer even if he had never become a musician.

    Extractions: Born in 1894 in Rockland, Maine, Walter Piston was recognized in his lifetime as the ultimate musical craftsman, producing a body of orchestral and chamber work distinguished by its quintessential neo-classic qualities of clarity and proportion. Also a noted educator, Piston taught at Harvard from 1926 to 1960 and wrote three significant music textbooks: Harmony (1941), C ounterpoint (1947), and Orchestration (1955). Among Piston's many noted students were Elliott Carter Leonard Bernstein , and Arthur Berger. Following graduation from Harvard in 1924, Piston traveled to Paris for studies with Nadia Boulanger and Paul Dukas. There he became enamored of French neo-classicism and the later works of Faure and Roussel A musical climate celebrating a revival of J.S. Bach and the discovery of jazz infiltrated his work. Returning to the United States, Piston developed a sophisticated and witty compositional style, capturing with precise accuracy the many cultural and philosophic trappings of his native New England. His Symphonies ns. 3 and 7 earned him Pulitzers and works like the ballet suite The Incredible Flutist and Three New England Sketches brought popular success and renown for a musical style that struck a perfect balance between form and expression.
