i religious. which Mr. Scriabine essayed
TO discuss in music.
In subsequent years he went much
further in developing his iconoclastic
scheme Of harmony and in attempting
to attach theosophical significance
to certain musical elements. His PRO
metheus, or Poem OF Fire. was produced
here on March ~ Of the present year by
the Russian symphony Orchestra under
the direction Of Modest Altschuler. II
was in this work that the author tried
to intensity the communicative power
Of his music by associating with 1t a
scheme Of shifting lights.
| Mr.. Scriabine appears TO have been a
musician OF very volatile fancy and of
imaginative aspirations, which his vague
system of composition and his apparent
want OF logical concentration prevented
him from realizing That he was march,
ing in the forefront of what is called the
"modernist" movement il unquestion-
able. Whether his m sic will long re-
tain its position among living actualities
remains TO be seen But his death was
untimely and to be deplored.

In respect 81 Instrumental soloists
and platform singers the season was
extraordinary. Despite the fact that
musical activities did not cease in Eu-
rope because OF the war the impossi-
bility of making concert tours Of re-
munerative extent drove several
prominent artists to this country. In
the case OF Ossip Gabrllowitsch prompt
exclusion from Bavaria was occa-
stoned by his Russian birth. His
deep affection for Germany and the
Germans. his high standing in the city
Of Munich. where he had long made
his home. counted naught.
Since in the automatic operation Of
the great system OF Kultur a German
situated in a Russian city a. Mr..
Gabrilowitsch was in Munich would
inevitably have become a spy. II was
inconceivab.e that Russian In
Munich would not he one. However,
Germany's loss has been our gain. for
Mr.. Gabrilowitsch is one of the fore.

tributions to the joys OF the past
musical season were very grateful.
