The third concert of the Los An
| geles Symphony season was given Fri
| day afternoon before an audience
which indorsed most enthusiastically
| the program of Russian music pre-
sentcd under Director Harley Hamil-
| toms baton.
| The program was composed of the
| following selections:
Suite, Caucasus Sketches" Gppoltow-
| Ivanow), Bans Paoulo, dams la mosques, cor
Concerto for violin, Or 35 tTschaikowsky)
allegretto moderate, canzonetta, finale.
| First symphony In q minor, Op. 13
| (Tschaikowsky) allegro trnnquillo. adagic
| cantabile ma non tanto, scherzo finale.
Tone poem, "Flnlandla," (Sibelius).
Soloist. Arnold Krauss.
| TschaikoWsky as a composer has
| been elevated by his admirers to po-
sition high in the temple of fame,
! while others do not hesitate to pro-
nounce his writings the rawlings Of a
dsordered min Agreeing cordially
with those who uphold his musician
| ship, I also doubt if any one not a
| Russian ever has or ever will be able
| truthfully to claim that he thorough
| ly understands TschaikoWsky' COM
positions. [ quote without apology
| from Frank Patterson's program
| notes:
"And here, once more, we must re-
peat that any analysis of themes and
! harmonies, of orchestral technique and
| modulationS, will serve not at all tC
explain the magic spell which sucl
| music as this casts upon each one OF
us. The more one studies the less ono
| is able to give even single plausible
reason for the beauty or the lack OF
beauty in music. Many men have or
! cl1estrated better than TschaikoWsky
many men have had deeper knowledge
! greater facility, have given us more
| perfect examples of the musicians art
| yet few indeed have started a glorious
career with such inspired work as
| thisl So inspired, so simple. 1t seems
as if any one might do it--and yet
.Rauhes Land, Nebelland!' 1t is al
in that, all in that! And every one OF
us feels it and knows it, But to hold
If. to cnchain it, to lay it down or
| the ruled paper. therein lies the mas
ter's inexpressible genius!"
'.Fjnlandia," Sibelius' splendid tone
noem, which closed the program, Is
| full of color and is a striking COM
| position. e....
Arnold Krauss. soloist of the after
noon, responded TO an encore at the
close of the concert.
