CHAMBER MUSIC AT
BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL
Kneisel Quartet Takes an Even
ing of Symphony So
ciety Series.

n was "a happy impulse that prompted
Mr. Damroscb and tho symphony Society
TO find place IN tho scheme o. their
Beethoven festival. now in successful
progress. FOR the concert Of chamber
music given last night AZ Acolan Hall
by the Kneisel Quartet Not thai there
was danger that Bcethoven's activity as
a composer for small groups Of PLAYERS
was likely 10 have been forSottcn ny
those familiar with his vast orchestral
dramas. tho many-sidedness OF his mus
cal genius must be an old story TO every
corcertgoer But the Interpolation OF An
evening devoted mainly to music for four
strngcd instruments provided delight
ful contrast to what had gone before and
a fresh start for the remainder OF the or
chestral series
The programme opened with the fouri h
quartet OF Opus 49, IN & minor. ono Of tho
set Of six written in the wear 1900 and
dedicated to Prince Won Lobkovitz. The
middle number comprised the second and
third movements from the septet for
rAit4lSS anu NlIN lNlllilIlS. ana inc ISL
ended with the first Of the three quartets
OF opus 80, in T major. written in 1903 Cor
Count Rasoumowsky. whose fame as a
musical amateur has come down from
that dsy 10 this. he played second violin
in the aristocratic group Of four Viennese
musicians who first made these Bee
:hoven compositions known TO the world.
ba l,Uhoet of 10 ierIt ct
cal experiences were reached in the
adagio Of the septet and the first move
ment or the Rasoumowsky quartet
Listening 10 these. with the memory Of
tho early quartet from opus IS fresh in
mind. their wider scope and greater free
dom were doubly evident, and also. es-
pecially in the final quartet. the more
favorable treatment Of the instruments
themselves Again. the excerpts from the
s.ptet set forth the essential balance BE-
tween the violin. viola and cello. on one
side. and the clarinet. bassoon and horn.
on the other. with the contrabass stand
ing ready to supply fundamental tones for
either or both divisions
But. after all. these things. and nearly
anything else that might be brought IN
a this time. are old and familiar ground
10 most Of those who know and love
Beethovens music II remains 20 speak
Of the performance OF last nights list,
and in so doing one is tempted to use
superlatives, for Mr.. Kneisel and his fcl-
lows played especially in the later quar-
tet, with A refined vigor, a consistent.
intellectual appreciation. and high ana
rare beauty Of tone II was fair "a
Beethoven and II was Joy 10 the listen
ers.
In the septet three OF the Kneisels were
aided by four players from the Symphony
Society-Messrs Langenus Sayolini,
Franzl and Twin. A feature or the septet
performance which was admirable
throughout. was the sudden stir, visible
