The fourth pair of Boston Symphony concerts
will be given in Carnegie Hall on next THURSDAY
evening and Saturday afternoon. These VIII
bring on Thursday night a symphony new 10
New York. SibelUs's first in z minor. and on
SATURDAY afternoon Richard Strauss "Sinfonia
1-.c hear Ta1az here
once. three years ago. under the direction Of the
composer. The Sibelius symphony had its first
performances in America at the Boston concerts
Of the orchestra on January and .. and since
then has been played by the orchestra in Brook
iyn Philadelphia and Cincinnati. Few nov
elites Of recent years have had such success in
these cities. The symphony composed in
1899 and published in 1902. 1t was first
performed in Berlin in July. 1900. at concert Of
Finnish music. under the direction OF the
Finnish composer Kejanus. 1t was played by
she Royal Orchestra in Dresden on November
Il. 1862. and had its first performance in Lon
don. under Henry ]. Wood. on October 49, 1903.
Sibelius has been brought into prominence il
n New York this season by his new concerto for
i The violin which Maude Powell played at a re-
" cent Philharmonic concert.
The "Snfonia Domestica" was so thoroughly
discussed at the time of its first performance
three years ago that no description Of 1t IS
necessary. II IS interesting 10 note. however
that Dr.. Muck has confessed that he is not par
ticularly sympathetic 10 Strauss's later or
chestral works He admires greatly the Don
Juan" and Tod ind Verklarung' and parts Of
the "Zarathustra." but most Of the music in
Elm Heldenleben." Don Quixote" and the
"Domestica" is alien his taste. Last spring
when he accepted the engagement with the Bos
ton Symphony Orchestra he told Mr.. Ellis, the
manager, that he would do, among other
things. this symphony of Sibelius and the DO
rnestca." the first because he admired it greatly
and the second because Boston had never heard
IT. and he regarded il az his duty 20 present a
work OF this magnitude and importance. even II
he himself was nos particularly sympathetic to
IL II was moi orginally planned 10 do the
"pomestica' in New York. but there seemed TO
be q very real demand FOR il, wherefore Ii has
been placed on the next matinee programme
The solo artist on Thursday night Will be
Nine. Olga Samaroff. who has been heard with
orchestra in this city only at her own concert
when she hogan her professional career in Jan
vary two years ago and with the Philadelphia
Orchestra last season. She will play TschaI-
kowsky's concerto in fat minor. The first
number on the programme will be Dukass THE
Sorcerer's Apprentice"
The solo artist Saturday afternoon will be
Osslp GaeriloWltsch. who will play Brahms 3
second concerto Tor The piano. The other num-
ner Of the Saturday programme will be
Brahmss Academic overture
Particular note should be taken OF the fact
that on Saturday the "Domestica" will be first
on the programme. This work lasts about fifty
minutes, and late corners viii not be seated dur
ing its performance. which is without pause.
Therefore the patrons of the concert are urged
10 be IN their seats promptly.
