The Music Festival in Germany.


August Spanuth, musical author
ity in Germany and editor of the Sig
male fur die Musikalische Welt, has
been Illuminating against the musical
festival of his native land. There Is
reason in his discourse because Ber-
lin is the most music beleaguered city
In the world; Its list OF daily concerts,
operas and various forms of musical
entertainment Is positively breath
catching. Only London at the height
of the musical season can come with
In speaking distance OF the German
capital. And only audiences with the
tympani OF bass drum can hope to
emerge sound of wind and limb after
the Berlin tonai bath Therefore Mr..
Spanuth may be pardoned for his oc-
casional outbursts of Indignation. The
point he makes is this: For the larg-
err cities that conglomeration of Ill
digested programs, hurried rehearsals
and lnordinate 5unketings might be
dispensed with. In communitfes
which do not indulge in so much
music making perhaps the annual fes-
tval may prove both pleasant and wen
supplied with harmonic pleasures the
year round, yet sufYerings from the
festival habit. Last summer the Bee
thoven- Brahms festival was 4 sue
Sceo III SsO31 nay tHls year tho nIcu-
ard Strauss festival not only failed
to pay expenses, but narrowly shaved
the edge Of q success de'estime. This
fact. considering the enormous popu-
larity OF Strauss on the continent,
ought to have pause to festival fana-
tics. In portmnnd there was d fesr
tival. in Carlsruhe another, in Cologne
there 10 festival Mahlor festival
was held somewhere else, and NO
doubt there has been or win be !

A correspondent wrote to the Lon

the mirage on the north side OF Gros-
venor square. The whole surface Of

that n water main had burst and food
ed the road. On approaching closer
the water broke up Into pools and
then disappeared altogether. There
was no one about except the police
man on duty and he would not be-

after the lapse of a few years the

Mr.. Spanuth Is unacceptable; there Is
to much music in Germany during a
long season, and to spend the summer
following the programs of numerous
provincial festivals Is a thorn In the
flesh for the weary public. New York,
while luckily behind the record-break-
ing Berlin, hears far too little good
music from May to November. and
often longs for the good old times of
Gilmore, Thomas and Seidl Yet the
music festival is not needed in New
