H. the Mendelssohn Scotch sym
phony and Tschaikowsky's "lSI2"
overture. there was valiant reading
OF the score. BY the different chOirs,
but, lack of real musical spirit and
force because the individual effort
was not nodded into an effective
whole. The impression was given
that. in the comparatively short
space OF time since the orchestra
took mp It's work for the present sea
son, the players had learned only to
play the notes OF the different scores
and had not had time to learr
really play tine music. The alb.
sence Of interpretdtive power was
especially noticeable in passages Of
complex orchestration. The players
do not seem TO have quite struck
their stride this season.
That the orchestra has excellent
material within its ranks was prov
en- in the high standard attained last
season. but with almost four times
as many concerts this season as
last, and, with few If any more
hours for rehearsing the extensive
repertoire planned, hhere seems to
be little hope that the men will be
able TO do themselves justice. II is
not too late 10 reconstruct the win
ter's schedule and TO shorten it so
that with fewer works 10 prepare
lie players will have a chance to
prove to the public supporting them,
the artistic mettle of which they are
made.
For all the critical summing up
OF the concert as whole. II can be
said In complete fairness that at
various times during the rendition
OF the program, excellent results
were accomplished and there was
much to give real pleasure, and TO
praise, in the work of Conductor
Gales and his men. MacDowells In
dian suite had its beautiful moments

so well-played as to make one wish

Detroit Symphony is
Heard in Good, But
Overly Long Program,

With an audience of much larger
proportions than assembled at the
opening of the season a fortnight
ago, to encourage it, the Detroit
symphony orchestra gave good
concert. Friday afternoon, in the De-
troit opera house, albeit overly long
for a late matinee. The program
began at 4 o'clock to the minute
and lasted two hours lacking five
minutes.
To those who are sincerely inter
ested in the orchestra and its CON
tinued success, and who have demon
strated this interest in loyal attend
ance, it would seem that Conductor
Weston Gales has been rather too
ambitious in planning the programs
fer the season Of 1915-16. the
program two weeks ago, was played
IN less than an hour and those, OF
last season scarcely exceeded an
hour to an hour and 10 or Is min
utcs-the latter quite the outside
limit for late afternoon concert.
In glancing through the programs
yet 10 come il would seem as If all
would prove too long in the playing.
Ii is hazarded also that the actual
labor and industry required TO pre-
pare the repertoire for the season
will be a severe tax upon the play
ers whose time for study and re-
hearsal is necessarily limited. Until
the orchestra has sufficient financial
backing to permit of 1t being run as
are the orchestras in Chicago, Phila-
delphia, New York. Boston, better
results will unquestionebly be OBJ
tanned by circumscribing the sea
sons repertoire, shortening the pro-
grams. and thus giving the compost
tions selected more thorough re-
hearsing
