GIVES PIANO AFTERNOON
Philharmonic Assisted IN Concert by
Percy Granger.

Tho Philharmonic Society gave q
pleasant concert for Its young people
yesterday afternoon in Aeolian Hall.
1t was entitled on the programme "A
Piano Afternoon with Percy Granger
and the Philharmonic Orchestra" and
the large audience, about equally divid-
ed between young and old. voted 1t a
treat for the gods. Mr.. Granger is a COM
poser whose arrangements will pecu-
lierly appeal to the young folks, and Of
these arrangements there was a good
ly number yesterday. There was the
Stanford Granger The Leprechaun's
Dance" and "Maguire's Kick" q sea
chanty; shepherds Hey" an Irish
tune from County Derry, and his
paraphrase of the Flower Waltz" Of
Tschaikowsky's Nut Cracker" suite.
These he gave with his accustomed
spirit and sense of rhythm. Then he
played Schumann's Romance, in +
sharp, and with the orchestra Grieg's
Concerto in A minor, Op. 10.
Mr.. Stransky's two purely orchestral
numbers were Dukas's delightful THE
Sorcerer's Apprentice" and LISTS Les
Preludes." Everything in the afternoon
was fitted for the young idea. even
some cynical ones might whisper
Preludes"

ment since its last appearance, and is
now fully able 10 undergo the suf-
frages of New York audience. That
audience last night was large and en-
thusiastic.
Conductor Oberhofer's piece de re.
sistance was the Rachmannof Second
Symphony. not a work Of any great
brilliancy, but one of much character
istic beauty, and one which gives an
opportunity for the displsyal of the or
chestra's powers Of contrast. Mr.. Ober-
hotter gave of this work an interesting
reading. The assisting artist was Nine.

SEVEN CALLS FOR HOFFMAN,
Audience in Vain Begs Pianist to
Play More.

Josef Hofmann showed once again
yesterday afternoon the power OF his
art as a pianist. The occasion was the
Symphony Concert for Young People
given by the symphony Society OF New
York. Seven times the young people,
and the old people, who fill good
many seats and like the chance TO hear
unsophisticated music and TO listen
deprecatingly TO Mr.. Damrosch's intro
ductory speeches, called Mr.. Holman
to the stage and begged him with their
applause to add another number to the
Concerto in c Minor of SaintSaens.
But Mr.. Hofmann seemed TO think that
his mastery playing of the piece was
a large enough contribution 10 the pro-
gramme; he smiled and bowed and
smiled and bowed. After his third trip
from the platform to the inner spaces
where artists listen alone 10 applause,
the gray attendant who watches over the
piano significantly put down the top.
The handclapping continued. After the
fifth trip the attendant shut the piano.
Still the handclapping continued. After
Mr.. Hofmanns seventh trip Mr. Dam
rosch appeared and explained the plan-
lists prejudice against encores after
concertos. Slowly the applause died.
and the audience reconcied itself to a
Hofmannless ending of the programme.
This was not hard, for the orchestra
had given capably two numbers from
Tschaikowsky's Manfred" symphony
"The Spirit of the Alps Appears" and
the "Pastorale"- capably it played
the prelude to "Lohengrin" and "The
Ride of the Valkyries." The Menuetto
from Beethoven's trio for two oboes
and English horn was excellently done
by Messrs. de Busscher, Gerhardt and
Rianco.
