 The programme prepared by the New Haven symphony orchestra for the sec- ond concert of the year, which comes next Thursday evening at S:15 o'clock in woolsey hall, Is one of the very high est character in every way. 1t lncluoes orchestral music of broad form and va ried character and piano concerto written by the greatest of living French composers-Saint Saens-with Harold Bauer, a great artist at the piano. Not the least of the admirable things of- fered is the ever-beautiful Largo of Handel. in which Professor Troostwyk will play the solo part. That is, he will gegin the Largo" as 8 solo; the Gtring orchestra will take it up and for the full fortissimo of the climax the great New berry organ will be heard. When Lord Kelvin received degraee from Yale on the occasion of his visit to this country two years ago, the Largo" was given III IIllS llIdllLlCI III IOdLLCll SlldPEAJ "ASAS the degree-conferring ceremonies took pIacee. Professor Troostwyk at that time played the solo, Professor Jepson was at the organ and Professor Sanford conducted the orchestra. The effect was very beautiful and Lord Kelvin was 30 much affected by the music that 1t was with difficulty he spoke. With a larger. and better balanced body of strings it would seem that the sLorgo" would be thing to be long remem- bered. ...,
 A great deal of interest is felt in the coming of MT. Bauer, the soloist of this concert. His reputation is an interna- tional one and critics give him place among the very greatest of living pian- ists, in some respects the very greatest. He has a magnificent technique and makes no ado over even the greatest finger difficulties. Of course this is ex- tected of any artist to-day, but with great technique he combines an exqui- site taste and an unfailing sense of the fitness of things. The concerto he has selected is a favorite with audiences everywhere, being transparent and me- lodious. The last movement, brilliant saltarello, gives the player every oppor- tunity for virtuosity. Critics in Paris and London speak of his performances Of this concerto in words of unqualified praise. Tn Paris the largest hall was insufficient to accommodate those who went to hear Bauer play. In Berlin and London the same scenes were repeated
 Besides the concerto Bauer will play SaIz,. 4t- ,4,, A kt. Chopin G minor ballade, two of the most beautiful of the smaller piano pieces.
 The purely orchestral part of the pro- gramme is Haydn's symphony in G ma jor, No. 13, Moszkowski's F major suite and Tschaikowski's wonderful "1812" overture. This overture was written to commemorate the deliyerance of Mos COW from the French under Napoleon in 1912. The original performance was by mammoth orchestra out of doors, and at appropriate intervals volleys of can- mons took the place of the music, and the cathedral bells were rung. A great brass band was introduced in the final with tremendous effect. Professor Parker will not be able in Woolsey Hall to give the overture with the thunders of the original, but the music is good, and even when sorn of it's cannon and cathedral chimes is a stirring compost ton. 8 ~s
