MUSIC
Yesterdays Concert

A program unequally divided between
Liszt and Paderewski was played by the
Philadelphia Orchestra yesterday after
noon. The symphony, by the latter com
poser, was the chief number, but It did
not fill an afternoon, and the concert
lasted only few minutes more than an
hour
Whether the symphony. which Is sup
posed to speak OF Poland and Poland's
spirit in revolt ranks with the spolation
Of the kingdom as crime against It
is a question for patriots and not for
musicians. The work Is pretentious,
sometimes bombastic; II is turgid with
thematic material. uneven and unsat-
sfying in emotion. An adagio maestoso
begins the work with furious triles; an
allegro ends It with a longlsh, piece Of
program music, tracing the revolution OF
1863 Between them Is the only beau-
tiful work of the whole symphony, the
andante. Here the structure is more sim
pie and the melodic stuffs are more sim
cerely worked out. Just why this SYM
phony cannot be for Poland what the
f,fth Tschaikowsky ls for Russia is not
hard to tell. Because this symphony Is
not Poland, but Ba0eTeWSkl'
To the performance OF this work Mr..
stokowsld and his men addressed them
selves with unfagging ardor, and In It's
turbulence una disruption their work was
rome the less satisfying But II was as
nothing compai ed to the miracle which
preceded.
The 'Tasso" OF Liszt is too familiar
and too accurately annotated text to
need comment But in playing II the
orchestra afforded it's hearers a new
pleasure. the pleasure of pure tone. The
great fault Of the orchestra this year has
been insuflclency sometimes downright
weakness, of tone. Yesterday afternoon
the strings first and eventually the whole
orchestra played with what we know as
virtuoso tone. full sounding, rich and In
spred. 1t will not do to inquire the
wherefore of this miracle, but fair warn
| ing should be given the orchestra that
now We know It can achieve so much
nothing else will be taken from 1t.
| II has been held in the reviews OF the
| orchestra so far this season that, regard
less of the works played and the pleasure
afforded by them. the orchestra owes 1t
| to it's hearers to give them an unvaryng
| satisfaction OF the ear. Dulness and In
| accuracy, overexertion and carelessness
| have been gradually overcome Yester-
| day in the richly colored and splendily
| evocative poem of DisZt the result of
| Mr.. Stokowskfs labors appeared. lie ana

| Mr.. Stokowsk led with more restraint.
but with no less intelligence and enthu-
| siasm, than usual. 1t has been somewhat
mistakenly held. although not by the
conductor himself. that the passion of
interpreting music, which is second only
| to the passion OF creation, must be ex-
pressed in gesture. Those who followed
the conductor yesterday were amply as
| iy ho prapnf1 motion
of his leading. of the penetration and the
understanding in study which preceded
the concert. And as has been said, the
orchestra played so unwontedly like vir-
tuosi that a minimum of conducting
| seemed to suffice.

"Stage Breaks"
The audience always enjoys n break
on the stage. The only actor that can
get any fun out of 1t is the comedian of
a musical show. For instance:
The gondolier who fell off Into the
Grand Canal when his boat grounded on
stage screw during the first per-
formance of THE Marriage of William
Ashe" didn't get half as much fun out
of the incident as the audience did. The
