WHAT the effect will be of the dis.
w missal Of concertmaster Of great
orchestra in midseason remains to bp
seen. Mr.. Fradkin is quoted as having
said that ''if the directors seek to break
up the orchestra, they could not have
struck upon more effective means"
1T he is correctly quoted. he takes
hlmsel II far too seriously. He is a good
violinist, but did not make a conspicu
ously successful concertmaster, two very
different things, and in his first appear.
ances here he did not seem to be at all
familiar with the actual technique Of
his position. even in view of the fact
that the string section was thoroughly
experienced and well seasoned. With
lack of orchestral "routine." to use
musicians term, that was very ap.
parent. he did not especially adorn the
chair formerly occupied by such great
concertmasters as Willy Hess. Anton
Witck and, the greatest of them all,
Franz Kneisel.
The Boston Orchestra will probably
not suffer artistically by Mr.. Fradkin's
departure, and the cause of discipline
will be tremendously advanced. That
trouble of such a serious nature could
develop in the organization is matter
for wonderment, but it may be that the
summary action of the board of trustees
will clear the atmosphere. without which
the regaining Of its former position will
be long and painful process.
