Lift Thine Eyes 1850. Knight Logan
Devoted Music Lover Says Things.
A devoted music lover who had been
absent from New York for some time
recently returned and betook himself
to several concerts and operate per-
formances. Thereafter he expressed
himself without stint to the music
critic of The sun:
Music in New York has gone to
the dogs. have heard the worst per-
formances of La Boheme and Faust
ever heard in my life, and not word
Is uttered in protest. / have heard
two Of Beethoven's symphonies butch
cred to create a sensation for a con-
ductor, and no one offered any objec-
ton. Instead OF complaints / hear a
small army of women bringing libel
Ious charges against honorable people
who dare to disagree with them as to
the performances of their pet musician,
and I have heard men of high stand
ing in the community threaten to ex-
clude from their presence any person
who presumed to hold opinions differ
ent from theirs about the singing OF
certain so-called prima donnas.
''Tn short. so far as l am able to see,
music Is now in the hands of lot OF
notoriety worshippers, whose recourse
in every case of unfavorable comment
In not to argument but to bullyraging
and bluster. Meanwhile, to my intense
amazement. / find some newspapers
maintaining an inexplicable silence
about the pitiable performances which
have witnessed, while others engage
In ridiculous praise of things which
every amateur OF music knows ought
to be condemned.
All can say In these circumstances
is that music as an art is in its last
stages in this town. The concert hall
Is a parade ground for sensational
conductors who are adored by women
and the operahouse for incompetent
singers who are favored by the author.
tiles II the critics do not handle the
situation without gloves then New
York's standing In the world of music
must sink to insigniflcaEce"
l. faith bo'swain these be bitter
words!
