Still there seemed to remain a moody
suspicion, which the little lady thought It
her privilege to rebuke. You have too
little confidence I'm yourself. Has not the
homage Of the entire world given you a
little moro pride? Who speaks Of opposi-
ton? VIII you not learn that everybody
is longing agaip to worship you in new
works? obstinacy!"
This was in January. 1924 Beethoven
had inquired OF Count Briih in Berlin rs
TO whether or not performance OF the
now mass and symphony might be given
in that city, and Bruhl had expressed
himself In favor of the plan. When news
of this fact became known in Vienna a
number of Beethovcn's friends addressed
him in Il Enthusiastically iainboyant
memorial, IN which he was begged to
bring forward his new CONF osiiions.
This memorial, which appears In most
of the biographies, was published in two
newspapers, which fact gave rise to gos-
.,jp 10 the effect that he had caused the
publication. and this annoyed Beethoven
greatly. He gave vent 10 his rage In II
remark which he himself wrote down ~
one of the Conversation Books--a very
rare thing for him to do: Now that the
matter has taken this turn, can no

respondent mood and inspired with new

himself with vain imasinings about the
outcome-everything would 80 goriously
and everybody would esteem it an honor

ton poured in on the composer from all
quarters and also offers of help. Beetho-
ven's friends gathered together and dis

choir and orchestra, who should sing the
solos. the price of seats. the number Of
rehearsals The concert season Was
drawing TO a close, and delay was haz-
ardous; but delay there was, for Beetho-
ven was vacillating, full of doubtings and
suspicious and there was too great a
multiplicity OF counsellors. SCHNEIDER was
kept extremely busy; Count Lichnowsky
and the violnist Schuppanzigh, close
friend of the composer, bestirred them
selves nightly; the composers brother,
Johann came to the fore with advice and
suggestions, especially about the business
administration. and Beethoven's nephew,
Karl, who gave him much concern. not
only ran errands, but volunteered his
opinions-much to Schindlers dssatisfac-
ton. A page from a Conversation Book

Beethoven were carried on-for his con-

poraneous Records-How
the Composer Looked
and Acted.

Preparations are making by both the
philharmonic Society and the operate
forces under the direction of Signor Tos-
amin for performances of Beethoven
,horal symphony. The earliest OF
,hcse performances will take place at
carnegie Hall this week, on Thursday
,,orinc and Friday afternoon. The
dates Of the performances at the Metro
politan Opera House have not yet been
fixed, but they will probably fall within
three weeks. Though much has been
written about the history of Beethoven
extraordinary composition, great deal
still lies buried in the unpublished rec
ords-especially the so-called Converse
ton Books. and some of that information.
especially intimate, il is the purpose or
tho present article to uncover. We ad-
dre,s ourselves to-day however chiefly
70 the circumstances of the first per-
Torrance of the work.
For the chief facts. and those most
widely known. In the story OF this first
performance, which took place in Vienna
on Nav Z, 1924, the world is indebted 10
Schinller, Beethovens biographer. who
was his factotum at the time; but, as Will
be seen, the verities OF history require
that his account be corrected in some
particulars. For some time before the
date mentioned Beethoven had been thor
oughly out Of sympathy with the musical
taste OF the Austrian capital. which had
been diverted from German ideals by the
superficial charms OF Rossinis melodies.
Having finished his great symphony and
also his solemn mass In ID, Beethoven de-
sired greatly TO produce them, but de-
spaired of receiving adequate support ana
recognition from the people among whom
ha had lived for an entire generation.
His suspicion that his music was no long
or understood by the Niennese and that
they had lost their old admiration for
him had become a conviction. Months
before tho time mentioned the project OF
a concert at which the mass in ID should
be performed had been under discussion
between him and his friends. One day as
We see from a Conversation Book, Hen
rletta SontaS, then a young singer at
the opera, visited him and asked: When
are you going TO give your concert?
We have a record of her words only
what Beethoven said must be supplied by
tho readers fancy. 1t is plain, however,
that instead Of answering the question
the composer expressed a doubt as to the
financial outcome of such an enterprise.
You give the concert" said SontaS.
and will guarantee that the house VIII

IMPERIAL BOX WAS EMPTY

Everything connected with this concert
is OF fascinating interest. but tho whole
story as revealed In the contemporaneous
accounts and the private sources from
which the writer Is chiefly drawing can
not be set forth here. The theatre was
crowded in every part except the i'm
perial box: that was empty. Beethoven
had gone in person TO invite the imperial
family. but tho Emperor and Empress
had left Vienna "A few days before. and
the Archdukc Rudolph. who was Rec
thoven's pupil. was at the archepiscopal
seat In Olmutz. Some Of the foremost
musicians OF Vienna were in the orchcs-
ira. The performance was far from per
feet. Nevertheless. strange as the music
must have sounded to the people Of that
period. the impression which II made
was profound. and the applause which II
ELECTED enthusiastic to "A degree. At one
point in the Scherzo presumably at the
startling entry OF the kettlcdrums at the

scarcely restrain themselves, and 1t

end Of the ScherzO or the last movement

stood in the orchestra, though Cmlauf

by his sleeve and directed his attention 10

WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED.

This incident is variously related.
Schindlcr and Friucin TnGher the lat
ter told the story to Sir George Grove
in London as late as 1859, say that
it took place at the end Of the concert.
Thalbcrg, the pianist. who was present.
says that it was after the Schcrzo. \
note which is amongst Mr.. Thaycr's pa
pors now In the possession of this writer
reads:
