CENTURY'S~ RECORD
 IN MUSICAL ART

and because it was conventional Wagner grew utterly ashamed of it in after years. With the production of Tannhauser the world was startled. A new genius had made his appearance but the public was not prepared for a departure from the old models Wagner had struck out on virile lines-lines as revolutionary they were romantic. Musicians were divided Some said a great prophet had arisen, whilst others declared the man was mad, for, said these anti-Wagnerites, he gives forth noise but not music.
 But Wagner kept on with his work and created a school that has influenced art in no less degree than Bach or Beethoven had done. The value of Wagners music-drama cannot be overestimated Yet up to the time this masters earthly career was near its close the critics were still divided into hostile camps The Wagnerites and the anti-Wagnerites contended fiercely. Those who did not understand the apostle of the new school grew mobbish and re- sorted in some cases to personal violence against those who applauded the Nibelun- gen music. But Wagner has now been dead nearly twenty years and today the man or woman of musical education or feeling who does not accord this mighty artist his true place in history is most rare.
 Other Great Composers.
 Next to Beethoven and Wagner comes Brahms, who died only three years ago. This composer is oftener compared with Beeth- oven than any other modern who has im- pressed himself upon art. Indeed certain scholarly musicians contend that the three R's--Rapb Jora ha masters who could least be spared from the world of song. Only a few critics, how ever, assess Brahms value so high as the three B's'' coterie does.
 If the works of any one of the older mas ters were destroyed art would sustain a grlevous loss to be sure. We could not do without Bach, we could not do without Mozart, we could not do without Beethoven and we could not do without Wagner. If the greatest three composers are to be grouped the list must be made up of Bach, Beethoven and Wagner Brahms is great composer and so far as classical work is considered he is the successor of Beethoven. Take his first symphony, for example. It is so large and classic as to be called the tenth symphony, meaning the greatest symphony since Beethoven produced his ninth. But masterful as Brahms was he will not go down in history as so great a man as Wagner
 Other master composers belonging to the nineteenth century are spohr, 17S4-1S5s; Ros- sini, 1792-1S6S; Meyerbeer, 1791-1S63; Men delssohn, 1S09-1S17; Chopin, 1SO9-1S49; Ber- loz. 1s03-1S69; Gounod, 1S1S-1S93; Tschaikow- ski, 1S40-1S93. and yet living are Verdi, Saint-Saems, Dyorak and Grieg.
 Besides these there are many nineteenth century composers who have produced beautiful music of a high order. but who do not belong to the class or art creators in the large sense.
 The century passes without having pro- duced single great American composer.

nee, but most of the resolutions passed up- on were of technical character, and unin- teresting to the laity. Another proposition for direct trade autonomy was disposed of by reference to the incoming executive council; and @ vast number of resolutions providing for boycotts on various institu- tons throughout the country which it was claimed employed non-union labor, were similarly acted upon, in spite of the vigor- ous protests of delegates. who charged that such action amounted to an evasion of the issue.
 The delegates accorded to President Gompers an enthusiastic demonstration in honor of his unanimous rs-election. Felfci- tious addresses we're made by John Weir, fraternal delegate from Scotland, and by David Carry, fraternai delegate from Can ada, to which MT. Gompers fttngly re- sponded. The convention closed with the Singing of "Auld Lang Syne," led by the Scotch delegates.

 Development of Virtuosity.
 With such splendid triumphs in the highest department of music, composition 1t is but natural to find a corresponding advance in voice culture and instrumental performance. This has been the century of phenomenal vocal artists and orchestral virtuosity, as well as the virtuosity of the piano soloist and the violin soloist. It has seen the evolution of the interpretative conductor from the old time-beater The number of virtuoso performers increases every year, and the United States is be- ginning to supply the world with some of the best of them. Maude Powell, the vio- linist, has wide European reputation, and Leonora Jackson, another distin- guished American violinist, is. at the age of twenty-three or four in the first rank.
 Will the twentieth century match the nineteenth in music? I am sure it will not. AS the world has produced but one Michael Angelo, but one Raphael and but one Shakespeare, so it has had S;it one Beethoven, and the chances are it will never have another.

BY WILLIAM RYAN.

As the world salutes the twentieth cen- tury it will be in order for orators, essay ists and men of letters in general to review the history of the nineteenth and discuss the marvellous progress that has been made in science and all that tends to the ad- vancement of civilization. And in review ing the intellectual and uplifting activities of the hundred years just gone, musical art must of course be widely and profound ly considered. Men~like Saint-Saens and Grieg In Europe, and William Mason and Dudley Buck in the United States, will surely be expected to contribute to the peri odical press exhaustive papers on the music of the century.
 Briefly, no one of the fine arts, not eX cepting even literature, has been developed on lines anything like so large as music. Great painters and sculptors we have had in our own day. But after all, the best of them who have lived in the nineteenth cen- tury, with the exception of Thorwaldsen, the Scandinavian sculptor, are pigmies compared with the masters of the earlier centuries As for the architecture of mod ern times, 1t displays little or no originali- ty and is altogether lacking in the grace and refinement which characterized the an- cient temples and the spirit and beauty pe- culiar to the ministers of the middle ages.
 But in musical achievement compari- sons are mainly in favor of the present century, In the first place, Beethoven the Shakespeare of music, belongs to the nineteenth. He was born in the eighteenth and had distinguished himself before the dawn of the nineteenth, but had he died before the year 1891 he would not have ac oupied much space in history. His imagi- nation and constructive energy did not be- gin to assert themselves fully until the first decade of the nineteenth, and his genius was not in full flower until the decade fol- lowing He finished his ninth symphony in 1924. Bach, Handel, Mozart and Haydn belong to the eighteenth. But not one of those great men lowered to such lofty height as Beethoven; not one of them sounded the depths of human passion or charmed the world with tone fantasy as Beethoven did. The overtures to Corolanus and Egmont, the third fifth, seventh and ninth symphonies, the Kreutzer sonata, the grand concerto for the violin and the mass in have a place in art alongside of Mill tons Paradise Lost and Shakespeare's Richard H. Hamlet" and Macbeth"
 Coutemporaneous with Beethoven was Weber, the brilliant forerunner of Wagner. And before Wagner came upon the stage with his music of the future" Schubert and ScEumann had enriched tone poetry and won places in the temple of the inn mortals.
