as we'll as certain of the choruses, IL by
no means the Franck Of the ID minor
symphony, the "Beatitudes" or the string
quartet.
MYTH the possible exception of the
w Sowerby composition, all these
works have been received with enthu-
siasm. by the audiences and the work OF
Caselia and Lekeu with more than more
enthusiasm. II is true that none OF
these compositions is radical In the sense
that "un Pause del Silensio" of MALI
Zero, for example, Is radical but even a
composition so slightly tinged with mod
ernism as the Lekeu. aad especially the
CAsella works. would not have been
given so cordial a reception even three
or four years ago.
These statements must not be taken
as an Indication that Philadelphia Ia not
fully abreast Of the resi- OF the country
with relation to its attitude toward mod
ern music. In New York there Is prob
ably a larger number of persons who
hail everything new IA superlatively

confirmed modernists But this class Is
not the final judge. and II is an easy

In the cases spoken of here the whole
audience applauded the works heartily
Philadelphia has always been as re-
ceptive to meritorious works IN music
as any other city, but the spirit OF con-
scrvative criticism Is perhaps keener
here than in some other large cities
TIME italian Lyric Federation Is to be
i congratulated. as are the people OF
Philadelphia, on the mastery operatic
conductor II possesses In Signor Fulgen-
sio Guerrieri: and to Judge from MS
handling of the various operas which ne
has conducted since the federation
season opened in this city, II Is doubtful
if there is a conductor of italian opera
of equal attainments in. this country.
Signor Guerrieri has labored under
conditions which would make utterlE
impossible the task Of a conductor OF
lesser qualifications than his. He mas
not had the advantage of the long ana
numerous rehearsals which are the gooo
fortune OF the securely established oper-
attic conductors, but there have been no
serious slips In any OF the performances

THE CRITIC TALKS
TO MUSIC LOVERS

FNHE spirit of musical modernism Is
4 evidently beginning TO dawn upon
Philadelphia audiences. especially those
who attend the concerts given over to
absolute music There has been little
evidence or this until the current season.
snd while IL Is true that nothing essen
tally radical either in harmony or in
musical thought has as yet been given
the reception accorded to such modern
works as have been performed IL far
more cordial this season than ever before
4. Mr. Stokowski has thus far followed
the very excellent plan OF placing one
novelty on each program which he has
given this year. and In every case the
new composition has been preceded and
IoIowed by works which were familiar
70 the audiences and yet had nothing
IN them at variance with the new corn
position. Considering the new works
