THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.
AEOTHER DEJIGHTFUL MUSICAL
 EVENT LAST EVENING.
Professor Samuel sanford Presented With n Beautiful Loving Cup and Choice Bouquets-Prosentst Speech by Mr Kelley.

The fifth concert of this season by the New Haven Symphony orchestra was given last evening in the Hyperion theater before a distinguished sympho- ny audience. The fact that Professor $. s. Sanford appeared as the soloist and the concert being given in the even ing attracted an unusually large au- dience The programme was exception al, for it is seldom a pianist selects two concertos but Professor Sanford proved himself equal to his arduous task,
 The Beethoven symphony No, 8, which opened the programme, shows the composer in his brightest mood. It is exceptional in having no slow move
 ments, the second movement allegretto
 scherzando being the nearest approach The first movement is in the clear so- nata allegro form. but is not in Bee
 thoven's noblest mood. It contains,
 however, the coda usually found in the
 sonata forms of this composers rich
 and full of musical development. It
 has been said of Beethovens sonata forms that his codas contain some of
 the most salient points of the compost
 ton. The third movement in place of
 the Beethoven scherzo, is bright play
 ful menuetto and was played with spir'
 it. The work concludes with bril-
 liant allegro vivace MT. Kelley gave
 nusicianly interpretation of the sym phony and the orchestra played well throughout, though it must be admitted
 the brasses were not all that could be desired. MT. Kelley would do well to improve this division of his orchestra The other individual number for the orchestra was the familiar scherzo from Mendelssohn's music to Shakes peares Midsummer Nights Dream, which was played with intelligence, though lacking in delicacy The solo, ist of the evening, as has been sald
 was Professor Samuel s. Sanford His first number was Reubenstein's beautl- ful D minor concerto, which though it demands technical ability requires the
 musicians soul, something more than virtuosity. Professor Sanford is known
 as technicist, and was not fully sat isfying in the andante movement At
 the conclusion of the concerto he was
 twice recalled and presented with a laurel wreath and several beautiful bo quets. He was much more gratifying
 in his second number, the Liszt F fiat major concerto, in which he seemed
 more at ease. It is more his school ot playing and he was quite equal to the technical demands of the composition At the conclusion of this number he was presented with another wreath
 more boquets, and a magnificent loving cup from his university friends. MT
 Kelley, in his presentation, acknoWl- edged his language to be inadequate
 and called upon the orchestra, which played the opening introductors bass of
 the concerto just played. This incl dent was original and very pleasing. | Professor Sanford replied very happily The orchestra continues to show | marked improvement under MT. Kel- ley's able leadership. The accompani-
 ments played were with exceptional dis | crimination. The concert was an en- | joyable one
 The next concert will be given on the afternoon of April 24 with Miss Sadie Burton Pickett, of the music depart ment of Yale, as soloist, who will play | Tschaikowski's B flat minor concerto | The orchestra will give Schumann'S symphony in B flat. Il. F. M
