MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THIRD SYMPHONY CONCERT.


For the third symphony concert of his tenth
season Theodore Thomas Saturday night an
old fashioned conservative programme Apparently he
believed that after the exciting music upon which we
have recently feased return to the simpler entertain
ment offered by older would not be unvelcome
The following was the bill:
Symphony in G minor Mozart
Noveletten for string orchestra Op. SO lnewl .Gade
sc6eTzo t%oderato5 S ). Andantino % odH'G con motto
d. Allegro viyace.
Overture, "Medea," Op. Barglel
Symphony No 3, in fat, Op .schumann
This a charming selection. The two symphonies
among greater classics; watch for the
appearance every three four seasons Of Mozarts
fiat, q minor, and Jupiter" symphonies and Schu-
manns splendid series OF four confidently we await
the of the Beethoven set the OF
the equinoxes. Their beauty never paes even be-
fore the splendors Of the modern school They
fresh and fascinating to-day as they were
before Wagner and Iiszt came to stir wonder
and quicken the Of blood. We have
often expressed delight Thomas's Interpretation
of Mozart As exponent Of Wagner his orchestra is
unapproacbable in America and almost unrfvaed-cer
ainly unexceled-n Europe 1t is little II at all less ad
mirabe in expressing the bright and elegant fances the
unaffected pathos the ndefnable minging OF dignity
and grace which impart such perennial charm to all the
greater of Mozart There everything to make
the performance of this symphony good Saturday
thorough knowledge and close sympathy the part OF
conductor aud technical proficiency in his men,
1t is by means work TO play WELL simple as
sounds uneaned modern ears and the clear phras-
ing eloquent accentuaton and seemingly unstuded eie
gance which nguished the rendering could not have
been attained without long and patient labor We give
equally hearty praise the noble performance of Schu
mann's Cologne" symphony, wherein the orchestra
brought vivdy before the picture which We are told
the composer had in mnd-the flowing waters the JOY
GUS valleys, the merry vineyards the castifcrowned
nights cathedral with its solemn chant, which COM
pose the panorama Of the Rhine until IL emerges into
broader sunshine and is lost in the majestic sea-
The two shorter pieces played between the symphonies
were placed that the interest OF the audience was kept
increasing TO the end. Gade's "Noveletten,' never
here before fascinating little compositions
marked by the dreamy character distinctive OF the
Northern muse, but ingenious, so original, and SO
varied that they tame The last in par
ticular is a beautiful example OF artful construction
Bargels Medea" overture is not novelty, hut we do
not remember seeing it any concert programme for
at least years II is probably the best thing
OF the kind Bargel did Not only Is 1t mag
nhcent piece workmanship but 1t gows with genuine
passion.
