I

N all the years' history of competitions, there is to be

found the enormous courage and inspiration such events bring to a city. When wonderful young talents gather to express their ideas and their ideals in amicable creative combat, it usually nets lasting friendships, treasured memories, and strengthened artistic determination.

Such was my peTsonal feeling afteT participating in the First Intemational Tschaikowsky Competition in Moscow the Spring of 1958.

In November of that same year, I was overwhelmingly surprised by the extreme generosity of Dr. Irl Allison, Founder and President of the National Guild of Piano Teachers, who, while addressing a banquet sponsored by the Fort Worth Piano Teachers Forum, suddenly announced that he was giving $10,000 to start a competition in my name.

Although my immediate reaction was, of course, extreme gratitude mixed with awe, I was nevertheless aware of the great work involved in organizing such a project.

Had it not been for the dedicated efforts of the National Guild of Piano Teachers, The Fort Worth Piano Teachers Forum, Texas Christian University, and the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, the project might never have been accomplished.

As it has evolved, I have had little connection with the development of the project. Through the incredible, concerted efforts of Mrs. Grace Ward Lankford, General Chairman of the Competition and President of the Forum, and the other sponsors, this project has materialized.

This competition is not planned to emulate any other, though similarities are inevitable, but it endeavors to represent the sincere desire of deeply interested persons who have sought to encourage some of the many budding musical souls to visit the beautiful State of Texas, enjoy the hospitality of Fort Worth, and, I might add, the United States of America.

Fort \Vor th was established as a frontier out post to protect the settlers from the I nd ians. · One hundrerl and twelve year s ago, t he first piano arrived in Fort Worth. It is one of the first r ecorded items in the city's history . During the first summer after the establishment of the fort, ·M ajor R.ipley Arnold, the commander of the gar rison sent for his wjfe. She arrived wi.th t heir children and her square piano. The square piano r epresenting the first ones brough t to Texas is used as a symbol of this competition . The piano teacher engaged for the child ren was Adolphus Gounant, a French refugee from the Revolution of 1848.

This piano of Mrs. Arnold, the wife of the commander , mu st have been a strange sight in t he log cabin house which stood within t he crude :;;tockade whi<:h looked out across t he grand prair ie of North and West Texas; but, it is the only item of fu rniture or utensil of dress of which reference has come down to us in historical records of that first year of the city's existence.

Ever since that time, the pia no in particular and music in g-eneral have been an importa,nt par t of t he life of t his city. With this tradition of music in our heritage, it therefore gives me great pleasure to welcome to Fort Worth the dist inguished group of world famed musicians who are here to act as a jury; and to greet and wish the best of luck to t he gr oup of young contestants whf> have come here from many parts of t he world.

Pierre Gounant, the early French refugee and music teach er wou ld be glad to know that h e has been followed this hundred odd year s later by others from foreign countries. In addition to our musical trad ition, we also continue t he spirit of hospitality which was extend ed to him. We are happy to have yon here - Americans and foreigners as well. 'l'her e is a greeting in Mexieo which translates "My house is yours." 1 would like to par aphrase it: "Our city is your s."

THg BEGINNINGS OF THg COMPETITION

BY E. CLYDE WHITLO CK Music Editor, P ort Worth Star-Telegram

T enunciated by Aesop or N ebuchadn ezzar, or ·who-

H E APHORISM ABOU'f THE ACORN AND T H E OAK,

ever it was, still is cogent.

What was the beginning of the Van Cliburn Competition ? The story is longer than even the Fort Worth sponsors realize.

It is necessary to tell somethi ng of the Fort Worth Piano 'reachers Forum, an organization of fifty leading teachers in Fort \Vorth, Arlington, Hurst and Mrs. Grace '\rVa ni Lan kford discusseR Dallas. As envisioned by its founder s, Mrs. Grace ·ward (~omp ctiti on ·with ·van Cliburn.

Lankfo rd and Mrs. Marian Douglas Ma rtin, the Forum's mission, in addition to the usual professional objectives, wa::~ t he exploration of new American teaching materials, an inquiry carried out by George Anson of the Texas vVesleyan College pian o faculty.

As the For um grew in confidence, r esou r ces and vision, it thought of establishing a contest for solo playing, with eligibility in five surroundin g states and a prize of $1,000 .

Now enters Dr . Irl A. Alli son , whose National Guild of Piano Teachers had grown from a notation on the margin of a sheet of music while he was teaching at Simmons University in Abilene, 'fexas, in 1927, into a national institution invol ving hundreds of teaeherR in every state and tens of thousands of students.

He had been pondering a revolutionary plan for an in ternational playing competition, and at a dinner given by t he Forum after a Fort Worth reeital by Van Cliburn he made the astonishing announcement that the Guild was offering for an international competition a prize of $10,000.

Though it would have seemed inevitable that such a gr andiose project should be admin istered from New York, the center of big operations mu sically, Allison, impressed by the inner force of the organization and its president, Mrs. Lankford, decided to offer his plan to the Fort Worth Piano Teachers Forum.

That was as long ago as 1958, and the intervening time has been none too long t o develop the machinery and t he connections nationally and internationally necessary to the plan's operation.

Mrs. Lankford was recognized unquestionably as the executant of the plan.

Though she was pioneering, she thought big, far beyond the vision of most of her eolleagues.

The prerequisite necessity now was enlisting the cooperation of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, to undertake the financial undergirding, knoiYin}t t hat a budget of $75,000 wou ld be needed. This vvas moving in a new direction, but t here eventua ted eomplete co-operat ion by a board of fo rty-five leading bu siness and cult ural leaders.

To provide adequate physical setting t he Chamber of Commerce requested Texas Christian University, through Chan cellor M. E. Sadler and Dean of Fine Arts Frank Hughes, to make its fine faciliti es, in a uditori um, stage, pianos and practice r ooms, available to t he enterprise .

The four sponsoring· units were now associated and there carne into existence later to be incorporated: the Van Cliburn Internati~nal Q.uadrennial Piano Compe~ ti tion.

Supplernentin g the $10,000 capital prize, five other prizes to a total of $9.250 and two additional awards worth $1,100, one a gr ant of $600 by Cliburn himself, were provided.

Over eighteen thousand pieces of mail were dispatched worldwide, warm-h earted hosp itality in For t Worth homes vvas extended t o eontestants, resources of publicity were developed by press and radio, and the project was in business.

as co-sponsor and host- to this ma gnificent musical event.

From its first days in 1873, the University has put great emphasis on t he fine arts-a faet not always appreeiated in the rugged days of t he Texas frontier. Thomas M. Cla r k, gifted young brother of TCU's "Founding Fathers," taught instrumental music and voiee on campus prior to 1880.

Official records show that such training "vvas not popular " and no academic credit was allowed for such study. But in later years, the great value of music, art, t heatre, ballet and opera came to be fully appreciated and we are happy that TCU's School of Fine Arts has long had effective programs in these great areas of human creativity.

Consequently, we are especially happy to welcome t hese f ine young a rtists and members of the .Jury f r om all over the world. And it is gratifying to have all other s who, because of their ded ication to fine music, have been able to visit with us for this event.

A SPECIAL T RIBUTE TO

~?}1trta' (/)(':(t:ttc/ flJ:Nt~ltÂŁ/ CHA IRM AN

held by Grace Ward Lankford, T euphemistically designated by a si ngle word, H E OFFICE

has embraced ever y duty involved in the promotion and consummation of the Van Cliburn International Quadrennial Piano Competit ion. From the first she has been the very center of its existence, from t he a nnouncement by Dr. Id Allison of his intent to provide a first prize of hitherto unmatched amount to getting the project on the stage.

One of the first responsibilities of management, which she brought to fulfillment alrnost unaided, was the provision of seven additional prizes, which she accomplished through persuasion and importunity.

Grace Lankford from the beginning, three years ago, envisioned the dimensions of the project, and led the thinking of the four sponsoring units, in a project nevv to all of them, to the investment of imagination, money, courage and persistence which would be required. The winning over of the sponsors to enthusiastic support of the enterprise vvas probably her greatest aehievement.

The creation of a working organization, which eventually involved hundreds of persons, all of whom served without pay, was another duty invoking resourcefulness and tenacity in the faee of irritations and procrastinations.

Decision s, many of them critical and vital, often had to be made without consultation with members of the board , including matters of relationships with other nations.

Through the unusual scope of her personal contacts she was able to bring about the remarkably efficient provisions for the entertainment of eontestants, including the su rmounting¡ of language barriers.

It is fitting to observe that for months she has had to sacrifice her own w ork and livelihood as a t eaeher.

Her executive talents h ave elicited the eooperation of many di verse agendes, and t he competiti on has been the embod iment of her co urage and devotion.
