 I-"Kinder Symphonic Wallenstein
 The kinder Children s) Symphonic, is species of comic instrumental piece, common in Germany, but seldom per formed here. Mir. King, of Plymouth Church, conducted Kinder symphony of Haydn's at Washington. summer before last. the only performance of the kind we have ever known, ,hereabouts The Waller- stem Kinder symphony, to be performed on Monday evening next, is arranged for piano, violins and cello, and five "Kin- der" instruments: the hukuk (cuckoo), Wathtel (quaiD, Nachtingall (nightin- gale. .Schnarre (rattle), Triangel (triangle), Trommel (drum), and Trompete Nrum- pet). ETTssI S+ r tT@eTEs :. S.I The symphony opens with light pasto- ral movement pianissin,o with the strings sustaining the chords and the piano play ing the melody. Soon the melancholy note of the kinder" cuckoo is heard fol- lowed by the brilliant. varied trill of the nightingale. Then the accompanying in- struments play crescendo and after peep or two from the quail the whole kinder orchestra, drum. trumpet, triangle, and rat tie, come in with a ludicrous imitation of the grand crash of the real orchestra. The rest of the opening movement is varied by orchestral effects developing the peculiar qualities of the Kinder in- struments, and closing tortissinao in grand symphony style.
 The second movement is a funeral march opening with the suggestive beat of the muffied drum. The trumpet walls out its funereal notes, the ''birds" being used very sparingly. The closing move ment is Turkish Rondo in, rapid 2-4 time. developing all the resources of the orchestra, and ending with a terrific crash highly suggestive of Theodore Thomas and his wonderful band.
