A NEW SYMPHONY.
Bauer's Concert and the Vienna
Band.


Even the attraction of a new symphony by a
local composer did not succeed In drawing
much of an audience to the TivolI concert yes
terday afternoon.
+. Zech conducted his symphony In person,
though il might have been better for the work
II lie had left il In the hands of some Que with
more Unborn or acquired talent for conducting
for every composer is not born a conductor.
Mr.. Zech, for instance, took the last movement
at such tempo that the strings could not com.
pete with the technical difficulties.
The themes OF The symphony were GOOD, the
slow movement being the best, but the de-
velOpmenls were almost like Tennyson's brook
In their tendency TO 20 on forever. The contra
iunctal worn was clever and scholarly.
Part OF the Introduction 10 the third act of
WagDers "Mei>tersinger," and sort of M
lange OF the same act, which opened the pro-
gramme, showed signs OF insufficient rehearsal.
Glul0 Mlntttl was hampereq by extreme ner-
yOuSness In his playing of the sOlO-vIOlin part
In GOddard's "COHcerlO Roman ique." The
lhird movement was very gracefully performed.
however A word OF praise should also be said
for Jauu>' charming playing of the nttlr viola
obieato. Schumann's Pictures from the
Orient" orchestra ed by Renee e, pleased as
well as anything on the programme, although
The Work is far more interesting In its original
form as piano literature.
The Vienna PTater Orchestra 10 borrow a
smile from whist, followed their most popular
plan OF making Beethoven trumpS and semi
classical composers their long suit at tile con-
cert in Metropolitan Temple last evening.
The Flflh symphony was The chief trump,
and II was played IN a mastery manner. The
overture TO "FtdelO" gave the audience
glimpse of BeethOven's operate work. The
popular concert passed of in I'll usual exciting
manner everything being encOIed.
