Letz Quartet Opens Chamber
Music Festival at Pittsfield
Composition by Professor Smith, of Yale, Given in
Program With Numbers by Beethoven and
Brahms; Many Visitors Attend

was completely filled at the first meet
ing this afternoon when between
beethoven's quartet, B fiat, Opus 1870,
and Brahms's quartet in G, Opus Ill,
new work by Professor Smith, of the
Music School of Yale University, was
given its first public performance. The
players were the Lett Quartet, of New
York, assisted in the quintet by Hugo
kortschak. Mr.. Smiths music was
subjected to a severe ordeal in being
sandwiched between one of the great
est creations of the greatest of all
musical parts and one of the most
fascinating works of his artistic asso-
ciate, Brahms.
The audience, however, was largely
of character capable Of Judgment
without comparison, which would have
been invidious, and therefore of ap-
probation of the meritorious elements
which marked the new work The
quartet is in single movement, pass
ing rapidly from section to section
of contrasted mood and tempo and de-
a Gregorian chant, "Jesu corona"
which is beautifully harmonized and set
for the voices from what might be
called the slow section of the piece
This music in its integrity to the hymn
formed lovely interval of repose. At
this point the structure suggested the
influence of Beethoven's style as exem-
plifed in the quartet which had pre-
ceded it. So much may be said about
its fitness in the concert scheme, so
much and the fact already intimated
that interest in it was not overwhelmed
by the music which preceded and fol-
lowed.
The morning meeting tomorrow will
