MUSIC HALLS.
The Cincinnati people have been considering
q copy of the Royal Albert Hall as good model
for their new music hall, whereupon Ar.
Dannreuthsr, the orchestral leader, writes:
copy Of the Albert Hall, either fulsazed OF re-
duced, would be mistake.
F.Yst-As the hall stands It IL not 1T for instru-
mental music, neither strnged nor wool-wtnd In.
ktruments can III its 7ast arena Forty ddles sound
hks 10 many mosquitoes. Vocal sotos heard bit
not well; recahons are not intelnKbs, and singers
cracking his throat.
stcosa-And, ns the eircular-shspe Of the hall in-
e1ably induces the Sound to travel round and rogn
and Is; Consequently, there are echoes and dull
sounding places innunsrable 1t Is evident that copy
On reduced scale would be noue the less sadsfae-
tory. ... .
From IN artistic point It view, ct for perfect
performances Of Beethoven, Barlioz, Wagner. should
not hold more than 5000 persons at the out
14o 1t most, and chorus 81 3oo with such forces,
dnd chorus oi 80 picked Foices-he best results
be obtained. WagnerN Theatre at Bayreuth wilt cdn-
tain only 1850 available seats. Our best concert
room here-St. J1mes' Hal-haB about 1,6co; 1t Is
perfect for Orchestral performance, decidedly too
large Tor concerts OF chamber music. ~
