had an advantage that few OF his predecessors
have had in that he surrounded by "A COM
plete orchestra whose members. individually and
collectively were at his constant disposition to
Illustrate and bring to concrete realization every
statement he made. The lessons he sought TO
teach were thus brought home with viydness
that allowed confusion or uncertainty TO linger
i'm the minds Of his hearers. His plan elc-
mentary in its scope. as he took care TO make
clear at the outset. and was limited TO explaining
the nature and character Of each instrument in
the orchestra by having II exhibited and played.
and then by having some passage from standard
work played that illustrated the particular point
at issue. In this way he cited fewer than
thirty fragments. Of rom six to thirytwo bars
each, by composers from Bach to Wagner and
Tschaikowsky Mr. Hendersons talk was direct
terry of his subject. II was listened TO with great
plea sure and attention. and with not a few ma nj
