Musical Taste of Washington
The Average of Musical Cultivation
Proved to Be High.

An unexpected and interesting
proof of the good taste of Washing
ton IN matters of music was afforded
by the audience at last nights popu-
lar Symphony concert. The success
or failure of this series of concerts is
q matter of importance so vital to
Washington music lovers as TO de-
serve serious attention. There has
been some doubt in the minds of the
managers, apparently, and perhaps
also in the minds of the audience,
about the exact kind of music which
would be acceptable to the patrons of
such concerts. The Times has held,
and still holds, that the higher the
class of music, and the more nearly it
approaches to the level Of the regular
afternoon concerts, the better it will
suit the audience; and last nights
developments support The Times in
this opinion.
Not only were the requests handed
in almost entirely confined TO music
more or less classical, but the an
nouncement Of a program made up
from these requests attracted i
larger, more enthusiastic, and evil
IDENTIFY more rltelligently appreciative
audience than usual, and this III spite
of weather by no means propitious.
1t is doubtful whether a program
made up Of what is known as 'popu-
lar" music would have brought out
half as many. Popular" music can
be had in the theaters at any time
classical music cannot. There are
hundreds. probably thousands, of
music lovers in Washington who can
not afford to pay the prices Of grand
opera, who yet appreciate music OF
this class just as much as if they had
made trip to New York to see Par
s;far" at ten dollars a seat.
1t will take time to change the hab-
its of this music loving population
and WOO them into attending concerts
on Sunday evening instead Of staying
at home and enjoying the society OF
friends, or INDUCING IN their own pet
amusements. For many years there
has been nothing whatever to attend
on Sunday evening here except
church. and church once a day Is
enough for q great many people
Hence a great part Of the selected
class on which the symphony concert.
