THE NEW SYMPHONY ORCHES-
IRA OF NEW YORK. .

With the granting of n charter this
week to the New symphony Orchestra
OF New York interest i'll this band OF
musicians now centres in the rather
novel method of organization which they
elected to use.
The orchestra is cooperative, this APP
plying to all concerned. The initial step
was taken when zoo members OF the
New York Federation OF Musicians. Sc
lected from the several orchestras in the
city, organized and caused to be incor-
porated under the laws of the State of
New York a CLUB which will DO known
officially as tho Musicians New Sym
phony Orchestra Society of the New
York Federation of Musicians.
The bylaws and rules of the New
York Federation OF Musicians make 1t
incumbent upon every member that he
shall not play for a wage under Sill
minimum an appearance. For years 1t
has been the desire of the men to have
an orchestra of their own. one which
they would control and operate under
rules made by themselves Picking up
the threads OF an old cooperative idea
it was practically upon this long aban-
doned basis that the Philharmonic Or
chestra originally was operated--the
men decided that they would inaugurate
and put into effect an orchestral season
of their own, provided (they being with
out funds for such purposes) they were
able TO secure financial backing from
some outside source sufficient to see them
through on their expenses and provide
reasonable reward to them for their eff
forts. Accordingly members OF the
musicians society approached several
women of wealth and social prominence
with the result that the women in turn
formed and caused to be Incorporated a
second organization called the New
Symphony Orchestra of New York.
This latter corporation in turn has made
contract with the musicians society
by the terms Of which, while guarantee
ing no cash. they agree to sell for the
men a stipulated number of season tick
cts the proceeds of which will be sufti-
Client to meet all the expenses of the
season.
The membership of the executive COM
mittee of the New Symphony Orchestra
includes Mrs. Newoold lie Roy Edgar,
Mrs, Charles S. Guggenhemer, Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney and others
of like wealth and social position.
The musicians society selected Edgar
Varese. the young French composer and
conductor, to lead them, while the New
Symphony Orchestra chose S. L. Mac
millen as business manager. Offices
have been opened and established at 25
West Forty second street.
Both Mr.. Varese and Mr.. Macmllen
| accepted nominal salaries. 1t has been
| arranged through the medium of the
various contracts involved that any
profits which may accrue are to be di-
vided, 40 per cent. to the men (this 40
per cent in turn to be prorated among
| the men participating in the concerts)
| 40 per cent to the New Symphony Or
chestra, to be placed in sinking fund
for future seasons, and 10 per cent. each
! to Mr. Narese and Mr.. Macmillen IN
addition to their salaries.
The spring series OF concerts will be
| inaugurated in Carnegie Hall with two
concerts on April II and IL. Four more
! will follow in April and May.

What the Critics Say Verbally.
Critics never write such things as
that. / think 1t was Mr.. Huneker
who proposed many years ago the COL
lections of things the critics said but
never wrote. The occasion of the
proposition was the entrance of Regi-
maid de Koven into the pressroom with
eyes cast down and thoughtful mien.
A new tenor had made his debut, and
as the distinguished composer of
Robin Hood sank into his chair he
remarked as IL in soliloquy:
Hes a white voiced tabby."
And yet in the sum total of the rec
ords truth is mighty and does prevail,
albeit parliamentary language is gen.
orally employed and the decencies of
public life observed. So much for tho
prelude. Now let us have the fugue.
which follows in the shape of a letter
to the writer.

Friend, music is singularly inter-

stood When you buy 1t in a music
store 1t is red, and when you read 1t it

remark of Patience about Bunthornes

Almost Cruelty to Discuss 1t.
The subject is so old and the discus
sion SO tlreless that 1t is almost cruelty
to extend 1t. Yet there is one aspect
OF the case which must be presented
once again. The advocates of what is
called progress in musical art--which
progress according TO their theory can
he accomplished only upon the ruins
OF all now eNtant-tell us that the rea-
son why we think so much of their
music ugly Is that we find ourselves
suddenly confronted with a new style
OF art and are unable TO comprehend it,
We admit it. But tho man who
makes his first visit to Egypt and for
the first time in his life beholds the
SphinX-does he instantly pronounce
it ugly because he never saw such a
work OF art before?
man goes to India and for the
first time sees the Tai Mahal. He is
confronted with a Ito him) entirely
new species of art. Does he immedi-
ately decide that the structure is ugly +?
Another man travels into Japan and
for the first time in his life sees the
great bronze Buddha. Does he call 1t
ugly simply because 1t is different?
Probably every one OF these men
would at once recognize the presence
OF new beauty, not q new ugliness.
But when composers set out to rele-
gate the fundamentals of their art to
a secondary place and TO build their
works out of the secondary matters
they produce frequently ugliness and
always complication.
Greatest Art the simplest.
The greatest art Is simple. always
was and always will be. The rocco is
never the best, no matter in what cum

the stirring up of the waters by
Messrs. Scriabin, Prokofieff ct al. has
settled before we can decide what re-
mains that is excellent.
Meanwhile it may be noted that one
Igor Stravinsky has shown pretty
clearly what may be done with the
new ideas. He has written beautiful
music and he has enriched many Of
his pages with the devices which some
