MUsICS REALM.


In all the cities where the Theodore
Thomas orchestra is to play during the pres
/ eat tour, the public has had presented for
their consideration and choice three speci-
men Programmes which represent some
what differing grades of classical COMPOST
tions, all being interspersed with such Sc
leetions by the vocal soloists as to make them
all pleasing to all classes of musical people.
They are virtually all request programmes
1t is interesting to know how the public taste
and preference has been indicated. In st.
Paul, for instance there was a generally ex-
pressed preference for what was known
as Programme No. g. and in conse-
quenee that programme has been decided
on for st. Paul Thursday night 1t embraces
BachPrelude and Fugue, the overture to
'Iannhauser' by Wagner, one of List 'sHun-
garian Rhapsodies (No. p. and the always
popular Largo of Handers, with violin OBJ
ligato by Max BendiX for the orchestra; and
Mr.. Josefy will play Liszts concerto in A
major. In Minneapolis. the weight of pref
erence was very decidedly shown for Pro-
gralnme Nos and 2. The first of these in
clCdes Wagner's ''Vorspiel" from the ''Meist-
ersinger," Griegs lovely peer Gynt''
Schuberts Unfinished Symphony No. s,
minor, and Mendelssohns scherzo Mid
otLu444S4 -Ni5AIt OlSdIl, lOI luG OICHSStId.
Mr.. Joseffy will play Beethovens concerto
in G major. Programme No includes for
the orchestra Beethoven's Fifth symphony,
which was so generally demanded by musi-
clans at Minneapolis: Wagner's charming
composition from the "Gotterdamerung," en-
titled "Siegtried's Death" Dvorak's ''Slav-
onic Airs, and Bizet suite in four move
ments from ''rArlesienne'' Mr.. Joseffy will
play the ChopinTausig concerto in E minor.
1t is fortunate that there are two con
certs to be given in Minneapolis, for it en-
ables Minneapolis to have both the great
programmes between which the choice there
was no nearly equally divided. And it will
enable the people of st. Paul to come to Min
neapolis to hear each one of them. 1t will
also give opportunity for Minneapolis people
to go down to St Paul to hear the equally
charming programme to be rendered there.
Tickets for the st. Paul concert will be placed
on sale in Minneapolis and Saltwater, and
tickets for the Minneapolis concerts will be
placed on sale in st. Paul. Many citizens of
both cities have already significd their pur-
pose of hearing all three of the concerts
Minnesota has another cause for her
proud place in the East. In oft-recurring
announcements we hear of Minnesota talent
of our own country and abroad. Miss Ellen
Beach Yaw, whose personal charms and at
tractiveness will always delight the memory
of the higher circles of society and art in
these parts, will arrive in ST. Paul next Sat
urday. Miss Yaw has been singing to New
York and great number of Eastern fashion
able audiences under the management of
Major Pond, who has conducted to success
and fame more stars than any other manager
in the States. short time ago a compli-
mentary concert was rendered the young lady
the patronage of the critical four hundred.
1t was there that Miss Yaw rendered her
Italian in such flexible harmony as to at
tract the personal solicitations of several
leaders OF Eastern Conservatives. Her study
has been earnest and arduous, and her
European tour. during which she was be-
friended by Nine. Albani and Patti, has given
her permanent place in the armament of
the worlds star singers. Miss Yaw. or ''Our
Ellen" as Americans addressed her in Paris
is destined for high rung on the golden lad
der, and while not strictly a Minnesota girl,
she has lived and learned here in day
when her powers were yet crude. and when
the zeal of her youth fed on this Northern
air and hospitality. The fostering interest
may well be divided with New Y York, for it
was there she was born-here that she was
first cultivated to song. Miss Yaw's visit to
the city is only incidental to her journey to
the Pacific coast where, in Los Angeles, she
will spend the summer with her mother.
