MUSIC
Yesterdays Orchestral Con-
CertS.

There were concerts Of orchestral music
by the Philharmonic and symphony socie-
ties in CarneFie Hall and The New
Theatre. respectively. yesterday afternoon.
The former was repetition Of the concert
of last Tuesday and like 1t. was conducted
by Mr.. Spiering. a circumstance which ac-
quired a bit OF personal interest from the
fact that 1t was he who played the solo
number Ohe violin concerto, by Sibellus.
which Maud Powell played yesterday
when it was new in Berlin. Moreover. both
conductor and soloist were once pupils OF
Mr. Schradieck. who was an inter ested
listener to the work OF his pupils on Tues
day evening Miss Powell introduced the
work here In November. 1906. at a concert
Of the Philharmonic Society. and has car
ried II pretty much all over the country
since Whether or not the composition
really deserves as much artistic devotion
as It's difficulties exact is a question which
seemed as difficult to answer yesterday
as Il did four and half years ago. There
can be no question Of its strength and
splendor In parts. and Of its value as
patriotic document, but neither can there
be question Of its many tedious stretches,
IN which the mere violinist got the upper
hand OF the creative musician. Miss Powell
attacks it's technical difficulties with her
habitual daring. and overcame them sue
cessfully. but not without some sacrifice
OF that tonal euphony Of which she has
such perfect control when her mind and
heart are set on something more. and
better. than tech nical briliancy. She has
introduced a new coda to the work written
for her by Pietro Florida. an Italian OF
the serious school. who has been for some
years resident Of New York

dramatically effective. and Mr. Schild-

The second play. "Flachsmann ais Erzie-
