Thls is tho technical description of the work.

poser was greeted wifi yerv hearty :anplauaa
when tie work waa ii..i-l,od- Wa truas, however,
that Mr. Pratt has tho good sense not to be
blinded by this applause aud that it will not
lead him into the fsta! error OF accepting such
applause as m indication that he has written 3
great symphony, and tlereupon give his time
hereafter to symphonies. That Nj. Pratt has
musical ability no QUO except l. very preiuuiced
per5ou will deu; 1nd he mar vet ACCOMPLISH some
thing If those abilities are set at work III tho right
channel. As sincere weilwisher to Mr. Pratt,
and 4 believer in hi. honesty Of musical purpose,
our advice to him is not to let his ambition run
symphony to la7 i, away and devote himself to
less pretentious work III future. Let him work
on IN humber wav until he has something to
say, and can say it clearly and to the purpose. 1t
vii be no discredit to yr. Pratt to fail in the
aymphonic business. He is young and has plenty
composers have left scores Of symphonies which
will never be heard. OF nendelssohn's sympho-
