PROGRAMME OF Won BUELOW's TREAT

PROGRAMME OF Won BUEL0W'S TREAT
General interest is already being aroused
in anticipation of the next annual meeting
of the Music Teachers National Association
to be held at Detroit in June. The work Of
the National Association becomes of more
and more value with each years experience
and especially with the increasing number
and activity of the State associations.
The difficult question of providing fol
the expenses of an orchestra and chorus iol
the Association concerts seems in fair way
OF settlement. Mr.. Hahn, the weIl-known
Detroit musician, has already raised a
goodly subscription among his townsfolk
for this purpose. A movement toward the
same end has commenced, and ought to
spread widely, in the giving OF
concerts for the benefit of this fund.
Quite number of such concerts have been
given, the last heard of being one conducted
by Mr.. Charles W. Landon at Ciaverack Col
lege Conservatory on the 2Sth ult.-at which,
by the wav, our Mr.. Ad NJ Foerster's The
Star" op. 6 No. !. was given by Miss Grace
Parsons. What enterprising and public
spirited musician IN Pittsburg will come forth
with q concert for the same laudable object?
The giving of high-class concerts is one of
the most important features of these annual
meetings-important alike for the sake OF the
very many teachers present who never hear
good concerts at home and for the sake of the
rising American composers who have few or no
opportunities of having their works produced.
From either standpoint the presence of good
orchestra and chorus is the most important
element these being the hardest things for the
average town or composer to command.
The list of works by American composers,
which passed the Examining Committee for
production in June, is as follows: Quintet, in
+ sharp minor, by Ernst r. kroeger, of St
Louis, Mo-; symphonic scherzo by Johann III.
Beck. Cleveland, o.: concerto for piano and
orchestra. composers name not yet given; rev.
erie pastorale. for flute and piano. by Carl
Busch. Kansas City, and serenade and inter-
mezZo, for orchestra, by Henry Schoenfeld.
Chicago. and suite for strings by the same
composer.
In order to secure this same object-an op-
portunity for rising composers to get hear
ing especially of their larger works-the Ber-
liners have gone about it in the following
fashion according to the Musical Courier:
"A new society has been formed in Berlin
under the title of Free Musical Unlon," the
object of whose meetings is one well worthy of
imitation in this and other cities; it is for the
performance of newly published or manuscript
works of young authors who would not other
wise gain ready public hearing. The members
fees are utilized for the purpose of paying
for the orchestra, solosts, renting of
the hall and other incidental expenses, and a
committee of members decides by ballot which
of the works sent in for performance by the
authors Is worthy OF the honor or not Pro-
vded this latter committee is an impartial and
efficient one the "Free Musical Union" is an
excellent new organization"
The redoubtable Dr. Hans Won BuelOw, at his
recital here on the 25th inst, will play the fol-
lowing programme:
l. Mozart O756-l79I). Fantasia and Fugue, c major
2. j. ;. Bach Q6S5-l750. ......................
a. Sarabande major.
a. Concerto in the Italian style.

B. Beethoven Sonata appas sionata, op. 81

4. Joachim Raft 1S22- 1882

prelude -Menuet-T ata-Romance-Fugue.)
8. Chopin a. Nocturne, op. Q. No. 3.
49, % lmpromptu, op $ +. sharp.
tc.) Scherzo op. S6, e sharp minor.
a. Berceuse, op. 81.
6. List Clsll-lsS5.) ''VeneZa Napoli''
.CanZone e Tarantella
Won Buelow's great superiority as Beethoven
player makes it a pity that we are to hear from
him but one of the masters works. and that the
same which he played here on his previous visit
in 1877. Why not something of Brahms, also, in
place of the Liszt tarentella or some of the
hackneyed Chopin numbers?
1t will be rare treat to hear the most in
tellectual pianist of the age even IN a pro-
gramme of stock pieces. But is there not time
still to make that programme better represent
the especial qualities for which Won Buelow is
-.
