due the prophets. Il may have escaped
the notice Of some that just one hundred
years ago Friday In the good city Of Vienna.
Beethoven's "Eroica" symphony was per-
formed for the first time. But this could
not fail TO rise up In the memory Of Mr..
Gericke, and accordingly on Friday after
noon In the Symphony Hail at Massa-
chusetts and Huntington avenues, Boston.
the Boston Symphony Orchestra played
the 'EroicR," Over the orchestra, a. II
played, was suspended large wreath with
the word Beethoven" blazing through
the centre and the dates 1905 and 1905 at
the top and bottom respectively.
Mr.. Gercke deserves we'll Of his country
men for remembering April I, 1905. A great
many symphonies have come and gone
in the century sinee that date. but Bee
thovens mighty work stands the test OF
time. The 'Eroica" might have been
written yesterday, 90 fresh. 90 vital, 90
potent are its utterances.
This is neither the time nor the place
for a eulogy Of Beethoven, but II il perhaps
worth noting that one Of the most versatile
and talented Of local composers said not
