The Washington herald., 1913-02-16

among Washington music lovers. Nine.
Rappold has filled two tours as soloist
with the New York Philharmonic Or
chestra since concluding her seasons
work in leading soprano roles with the
Metropolitan Opera Company.
In her concert tonight Mime. Rappoid
will be assisted by the young American
barytone, Mr. Thomas Farmer. The ac-
companist will be William Janaushek.
The fourth concert Of the Boston SYM
phony Orchestra of the current season
will be given next Tuesday afternoon In
the New National Theater at 40. DR..
Muck has quite RECOVERED from tne H.
ness which prevented his conducting at
the January concert and which kept him
a prisoner in the house for nearly three
weeks after that. He will be at his usual
post.
He has arranged an exceedingly inter-
esting programme. the first half of which
is modern classicism and the second half
romantic. The symphony will be
Brahms in major No. .. a work not
unfamiliar to Washington audiences. as
the orchestra has played it several times
in past years. 1t displays Brahms in his
brightest mood as n tonal melodist and
occupies a place in Brahms symphonies
similar to that held by Beethoven's
eighth symphony among the immortal
nine.
The second half of the programme will
comprise Beethoven's "Egmont' over
ture and Mendelssohn's concerto for pi-
ano and orchestra in C minor, and Web
ers ''Euryanthe'' overture.
The solist, as already announced, will
be Max Pauer. the German pianist, who
las recently been the sensation of the
musical season in New York. His choice
of the Mendelssohn concerto is Il bold
one, for this work has for many years
been relegated to conservatory pupils.
His success with it is only another illus
tratiOn of how often great works are
neglected for the lack of the right artist
TO interpret them The programme in
its proper order is as follows:
Brahms symphony in d major. No. =;
Beethoven's overture. "Egmont:" Men
delssohn's concerto for piano and orches-
ira in G minor; Weber's overture. "Eury-
anthe."
