Just one more statement before we leave
the Wagner side OF the discussion: "The
more flowing and the ~lovelier of Wagner's
tuneful inventions insure his permanency
in musical art. All else that he did con-

pen these lines should be compelled to lis

could print such-but then, Chicago papers

Tomorrow night Kocian. the violin vir-
tuoso, will be heard in a single concert at
the Boyd. He will be assisted by Miss
Julia Geyer, pianiste, and Franz Spindler,
accompanist. The young musician was
originally booked at the boyd for a con-
cert February %. but owing to illness in
the south he was compelled to cancel all
his bookings in the middle west and jump
to Los Angeles, Cal. The San Francisco,
Los Angeles and in fact the united Pacific
coast press, was loud In his praise. In
San Francisco, where he gave seven con-
certs, IL is said the town went music mad.
Everybody knows the sensation he
created in the east, especially In New
York. Kocian is but is years old, four
years younger than Kubelik, and is said to
be the latter's equal. He was a pupil OF
the famous Sevcik OF Prague, Bohemia, as
was Kubellk, so their methods are a great
deal similar. Kocian arrived in Omaha
yesterday to remain until after his concert.
He was taken in hand by prominent Bo-
hemian residents and entertained. He Will

The Chicago Chronicle has an editorial
writer. He writes occasionally on musical
matters. He wrote an article on the prob
able music OF the st. Louis fair. And now
he is out with an article on the Decline of
Wagner in a recent issue. And he ought
to change either his beverage or his doctor.
Commenting upon the Decline OF wag-
ner," he says some startling things in an
editorial, in that otherwise strong paper,
the Chronicle, and they are things which
amuse and entertain. to a degree, some
readers OF the paper who are living west
OF Chicago.
The Bee commented extensively In this
column upon the article Of the Chronicle
which favored the doing away with good
music OF a accepted high grade nature at
the St. Louis exposition and 1t assumes
the privilege Of saying something about the
recent utterance.
The erudite scribe begins with the start
ling statement that During the lifetime
OF Wagner influences apart from music
promoted the production OF his works. The
chief OF these influences was. naturally,

distinguish the meaning Of these sentences.

novelty OF dramatic conception or incident,

spire a composer is a riddle. Why has not
some great composer written a fantasia on
a folding bed7 Why did not Brahms write
about the telephone? Or Saint-Saens the
monograph? Or Gounod the locomotive?
Or Richard Strauss the automobile?
So far from writing on influences of
novelty. Mr.. Wagner wrote upon the old
traditions. He rummaged through the cob
webbed aisles of a~llegory and through the
musty corridors OF mythology and brought
thence gods for his heroes and goddesses
for his heroines.
The gentleman proceeds: at did not re-
quire acumen to discover that there was
inherent weakness in Magnetism. 1t re-

Now. any student of Wagner history
knows Of a surety that Wagner met with
more opposition from his own countrymen
than might have been expected and today
one can easily find among German musicians
many who do not worship at the Wagner
shrine, In Germany Wagner had many
prominent musical antagonists. But this
is history. and one can easily investigate

very modest statement OF the facts.
