"https://ssl." : "http://www."); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E")); Walter Piston, Harvard Professor Leroy Anderson recounted in a 1953 interview for the Boston Sunday Post how Piston taught him to be objective: "The general tendency of a composer is to fall in love with what he does. Piston always advised us to listen to our compositions as though someone else had written them. My biggest disappointment came the day he handed me back one of my pieces with the comment that it sounded like improvisation. I was crushed...But he was right. Every church organist improvises and that was my trouble. I had been playing the organ at the East Congregational Church in Milton for $10 a Sunday and sure enough, I had fallen into the habit of improvising to fill the gaps that always occurred. Piston's advice was good and I've never forgotten it." Walter Piston, composer and educator, taught at Harvard for 34 years, from 1926 to 1960. During this time scores of eminent composers and musicologists studied with him, most notably Leonard Bernstein, Eliot Carter and Leroy Anderson.
