Concert artists and the musical pub
lie will be surprised to learn that DR..
Max Bruch, the noted composer, is suf-
fering as the result of the unsettled
conditions in Germany. In letter sent
on February 2, 1920, from Berlin
Friedenau to his friend Eddy Brown,
the concert violinist, DR.. Bruch writes
in part as follows:
"In view Of the extremely sad con-
ditions under which artists, among
others, in Germany, are living, and in
| recognition of the work | have done for
many years for the violin and vio-
linists, some Of the artists decided to
have me share with them in the BEN
ehts derived from concerts they give
ceived this beautiful idea was you, my
dear sir. On January 26 of this year
1 received through k, of Berlin,
in your name, check for marks.
am not in a position at the present
abnormal and terrible time to decline
such a contribution toward the relief
of my suffering, for with the present
high prices it is barely possible to exc
out an existence. You may be con-
vinced that 1 appreciate your action
at it's full worth"
The music from the sacred miracle

Application has been made at Albany
in the Office of the Secretary of State
for permission to change the name Of
the New Symphony Orchestra, Inc, of
the Musicians New Orchestra Society
to the National Symphony Orchestra
Inc. The change, if approved. will be
made effective at the end of the pres
ent season.
The proposed change has been under
taken because of the similarity of the
name of the New Symphony Orchestra
conducted by Artur Bodanzky, and that
of the New York Symphony Orchestra
over which Walter Damrosch presides
When the New Symphony Orchestrs
was organized little more than year
ago by group of orchestral players
working comparatively, they chose the
name by which they have been known
from a list of names because it con
tanned the basic idea of the organiza
ton, which was symphony orchestfs
and a new one. After the orchestrs
began giving concerts, however, the at
tention of the management was called
to the similarity of names by Paul D
Cravath, attorney for the Symptom,
Society of New York. Mr.. Cravath ex
planned that the similarity was causing
complications in the Office Of his or
ganization, although it had made n,
difficulties in the Office of the latte
organization. In view of the circum
stances, however, the management O
the New Symphony Orchestra used it,
full name to prevent so far as possible
any mistakes in identities.
It was not deemed advisable to maxi
change in name in the middle of this
the second, season of the New Sym
phony, but now that the season is ap
preaching its close the directors hav
taken action to prevent repetition o
the complications for sister organi
zation next year. There also will b
time for the New Symphony to impres
it's new name upon the public befor
the beginning of next season, TO
which not only Mr.. Bcdanzky. but ais
Willem Mengelberg, director of tn
dam, Holland, have been engaged .
