Letter from Marianne Moore to Louise Crane ; June 5 [1941?].
Mr. [Chester] Page is a virtuoso, certainly, in the humor of his manner - 'his happy starling posturings' – as well as with the trumpet. I thought, as he was playing, of the lecturer on Chinese music, Mr. Leavis, who said that a Chinese flute-player must practice rigorously – maybe months – with a reed and bowl of water, to learn how to keep taking air in without ever stopping the current of breath coming out.
