DIRECTOR OF SYMPHONY
GIVES ANALYTICAL TALK
At PIANO ON BEETHOVEN

Walter Damroseh, with the New
York Symphony Society. brought .
double message to Washington mu-
sic lovers In a second concert given
last evening at the Central High
School under the auspices of the
Washington Society Of the Fine Arts.
In an all Beethoven program, present.
ed again to a capacity audience, Mr..
Damrosch came as philosopher, as en-
thusiastic interpreter, and as mas
terfuI director, and the orchestra was
never heard to, better advantage in
this city.
Giving an analytical talk on the mu-
sic, to his own piano illustrations that
are, orchestral IN themselves. Mr..
Damrosch made one feel the master
who knew his scores with an unmis-
taxable love Tor ALL they contained.
To Beethoven, the universal master of
music, he gave the attributes OF a su-
preme instinct for the dramatic, of
idealism. and a masterful orchestral
resource-as evidenced to one of the
highest degrees in his modulations.
But, again, Mr.. Damrosch could
take these unto himself and his play
ers, for in the orchestral playing Of
the works every shade OF every part
was heard. And in tone as eloquent. az
finely varied, as his own dramatic
voicins Of the Florestan story in the
'1;eonoTe Overture, No. g." one sensed
this Tone Poem of Liberty" as he
called it. with all its suffering, strug-
gle, liberation" He whips Up" an
allegro, he says--and how vital his
feeling for such crescendo becomes!

master minds ideas and ideals at sucn
close range, and to have them per
formed 80 superbly.
Speaking Of Beethoven as fitting to
inaugurate this much-to-be-desired
evening series Of orchestral concerts
in Washington. he pointed out Beeth-
oven the free man, the democrat, in
his Qualification Of the brotherhood
Of Man" put forth in his great ninth
symphony. The seventh symphony
that was given in its entirety was
timely in its very jubilation-"our
mood OF the hour"
And In rare perfection OF execution
were two smaller numbers. a polo
naise for strings and a trio for oboe.

the purest in art and the best in the
artists.
One fact OF extreme qualification
was the acoustic excellence OF the hall,

cast in this artistic whole: and the spa
ciousness gave a feeling of tranquil
repose that added much to ones
power to appreciate. The event as
an evening concert, too. has proven
their desirability. The haste OF the
afternoon hour makes a concert. as
Mr.. DaSnrosch said, neither flesh.
fish, nor fowl" and It is so for lack OF
an auditorium in the National Capital.
A new and great educational and
artistic advantage has come to wash
ington through the Fine Arts Society,
and because Mr.. Damrosch. our dean
OF American conductors, In his enthu-
siasm for the cause. has given his
personal services for these evening
events. ]. MACH.
