The Music Was Different When WSs.

How Wagner astonished an audience
in Berlin is related by Otto Lessmann
in German magazine. 1t was in 1871.
He had lectured at the Royal academy
on the opera, and in his honor the
Verein der BerIiner Musiker arranged
a performance of his Faust Over
ture" under the direction of Professor
Julius Sturm.
When it was over Wagner seemed to
hesitate for moment as to what he
should do. Then he got up. thanked
the musicians and remarked that as he
had not been connected with an or
chestra for twenty years he felt i'm
PEELED to further show his gratitude by
an artistic deed. "YOu will under
stand my request" he added. that

personal direction
What then happened made an fndeli-
BILE impression ON all who were so for
tunate as to be present. The spiritual
revelation he made uof the various
moods of that tone poem stirred the
hearers as they had never before been
stirred. The difference between a gen
ius and mere professional conductor
was made manifest. The musicians
themselves were stunned by what
they had done. I'VE looked ut him
