However the string quartet is to
some extent a formal mode of express
sion There is little color possible in

most to a pastel in art. This lack of

great numbers an enormous amount OF
color is possible. But with only four

of great color in tho strings, is
quite impossible. A fine example of
color in the divided strings is in Grieg's

as In many of the works of Wagner, in
some of which the violins alone are
With tine string quartet, this is not
possible, and the more the writer hears
of modern music the more he is con
WINGED that it depends most of all upon
its coloring. For this reason the mod .
ern orchestral compositions rank con
,siderably higher than the modern cham
sber works, except possibly those in
(which the piano is used but certainly
IhigLer than those for strings alone.
sTINDOUBTEDLY this is largely due
~ to the Improvement of certain in :
ftruments of the orchestra and the ad =
dition of many other much needed in
Istrunents unknown in the day of the

1ipmense advance in Instrumentation
and in orchestral playing technique,
the modern composer is able TO do
thiDgs which were quite impossible to
the writer's of earlier days.
On the other hand, the string quartet
has remained unchanged since the days

MIR STOKOWSKI did the same
4tl thing, if the writer remembers cor
rectly, a season or two ago when he put
the Schumann Symphony No. 4, which
Is played in one movement, at the head
of the program. The wise management,
however. had it literally announced
that such was to be the case, so pretty
nearly every one who attended the con-
cert was there on time. 1t is Il good
idea to do this occasionally, because
there are few things which upset the
continuity and consistency of a pro-
gram more than a host of people en-
tering the hall after the concert has
begun and distracting the attention of
those who are already there and in the
mood for listening.
Few operas suffer more from this
evil than Verdi's aida, for the reason
mentioned, that the most famous and
probably the finest melody of the whole
work comes SO soon after the begin
ming of the opera; but then there are
comparatively few works of this kind
where the plot unfolds in the relation
ship of the characters to each other so
quickly and so early as in this opera.
1t must be said, however, that once
there, the Philadelphia audience leaves
nothing to be desired in attentiveness
and in courtesy. The silence in sud-
den stops of the music, both at the
opera and at the symphony, is so intense
as to be almost felt, sure proof of
the attention of the audience, while
their reception of fine piece of work,
either vocal or dramatic, is hearty and
sincere.

A Z NEARLY every opera there is a
"a regular dribble of late persons, last
ing sometimes until the end of the first
act. 1t is especially annoying because
the interest of the hearer is always
keenest at the beginning of an opera,
especially if it be an unfamiliar one. At
n symphony concert the effect Is not so
bad because no one is permitted to enter
after the music has begun until the
end of the first movement or number,
when there is sufficient intermission
for most of the late ones to enter and
get to their seats.
At the opera, however, the music and
the action are continuous from the
start of the act until its end, and, there
fore, every one who arrives late is put
ting d number of persons to some in
convenience. To forbid any late comers
TO take their seats until the act is
finished would be a drastic rule hard 10
enforce, but it probably would be eff
icacious.
One brave soul in New York recently
resolved to put stop to late arrivals
at his piano recital, so he placed
sonata in four movements at the very
beginning of the program and did not
allow any one to enter the hall from
the time he began to play until the
entire sonata was completed. This
meant a wait in the outside hall of at
least twenty minutes for those who were
not there on time. Quite a number
were caught, among them n prominent
critic who made quite fuss about it
in his paper. Another case of brave
man offering himself up as an unwilling
sacrifice.

rF GIUSEPPE VERDI had composed

TF GIUSEPPE VERDI had composed
"Aida" for an American, or perhaps
we had better say for a Philadelphia
audience instead Of an Egyptian one he
would probably have avoided the tactical
error of placing the greatest tenor solo
In the opera so near the beginning, even
II il does belong just where it is. He
would have taken n lesson from ''Rigo-
letto, where he has put "La donnc c
mobile in the last act, by which time
every one who intends to come has ar
rived.
Verdi's carelessness in this respect
was strikingly shown last Tuesday eve
ming at the Metropolitan Opera House,
when Giovanni Martinelli sang Celeste
Aida to an accompaniment partly or
chestral, but more in the form of pat
terings and squeakings of the shoes of
.latecomers. His rendition of the great
melody was very beautiful, but the
effect was sadly marred by the advent of
the crowd of late arriving patrons.
There are some spots in every opera
where an interruption of this kind is en-
durable, but the most famous tune of an
opera is scarcely one of these places,
This nuisance of late arrival at con
certs of all kinds seems to be on the in
crease in this city. 1t is surely no
compliment to Mr.. Stokowski and the
work of the Philadelphia Orchestra to
have anywhere from 80 to $50 persons
come in after the first number. This is
more frequent on Friday afternoons than
it is on Saturday nights, although at
the latter concerts there is sometimes
goodly proportion of later comers.
