By JOS , HTHESKEN Conducting a ymphony orchestra is great sport, according. to Aaron Copland, the n ed Amencan CO!ll· poser who dropped into San Diego briefly yest day. "I find it v invigorating," he said with a warm smile during a press conf n at the Cniverslty of San Diego, wh re he was to take part later In the evening in a music svmposium. ·"I have been doing quite a bit or conducting m recent years. Y?u get a Jot of exerrise that way. WaVJng your arms around Jumping off the podium. It makes you work up a sweat. I feel like an athlete." The 74-year-old composer, winner of a Pulitzer Prize for his ••Ap- palachian Spring," maintained a good sense of humor th ough1mt the session. He was asked about the work of his that failed to win recogmtion. How did he feel about them? •·some of my chamber music hasn't been very well received," he replied. "I did one calJed Inscape,' for example. Well, it's like haVJn~ a neglected child. You feel protective about it. You want to 'S e it treated better." But Copland has had much more success than failure dunng his lengthy career In add1tlo to " - palachian Spring,' wh1 he co • posed for :vi:artha Graham he wrote "Billy the Kid " "Piano arlatlo _ " 'Passacaglia" and ' Connotat10 s for Orchestra " He feels, however, that Amencan audiences still do not accept rnuSic by the modern composers in t e degree that they should.

better off now than at any time in history, Aaron Cop- land, who is often called the dean of merican compos- ers said here yesterday•. Copland was In San D1_ego to take pa[1 in a symposium at the University of San Diego. "They (American compos- ers) re eive more _perfor- mances f their music than in past umes, and Euro- peans, who have always compared us to Beethoven, Chopin and tozart, are now generally more_ receptive_ to American music than e\ er before _ the music of Charles Ives, I believe, has helped Europeans under- stand us better," Copland said. Asked at a news confer- ence if he could recommend a career in music composi- tion to a young musician, Coplan said, "Composition 1s not something you can rec- ommend, or not recom- mend, or something that a young musician would be likely to ask to have recom- mended. You compose be- cause you have_ to compose _ because nothmg else will make you happy or satisfy your compulsion.'' • Copland was definite in his answer to. a question about government subsidy to the arts. "Of course, y;e should have government subsi- dies " he said, "virtually eve~y_ enlightened _country subsidizes its artists, or- chestras and opera compa- nies, and one would hope that before too much longer significant government sub- sidies wHI be undertaken m this country." Copland said that CO!f!poS- ers are like parents m the wav they view their offspr- ing" "I tend, at least, to like most those compositions that other people like least. Some of my compos1t1ons that are only rarely performed I • think are some of my beSt piece·." • The works by Coplan_d most popular with the public are his "Appalachian Spring" (Pulitzer Prize in I 945 1 his score for the mot1~n picture "The Red Pony" and th popular ballet score "Billy the Kid" and ''Rodeo.1' HIS "El Salon Mexico" 1s a work frequent- ly he rd at symphony con- certs .
