out 10 very high degree. but not put
into the most conspicuous position In
a concert. What he did with n strange
orchestra in few rehearsals, even
though that orchestra be one Of the best
in the world, was amazing what he
could do with an organization trainet.
by himself can only be imagined.
MIR. TOSCANINI, on the other hand,
lVl seemed to pay more attention to
detail and tone, especially Of the solo
instruments, than he did TO interpre-
tation of composition as a whole. His
rendition Of Beethoven's Fifth Sym
phony was distinctly disappointing to
those who prefer that mighty work
played in accordance with symphonic
tradition. rather than with the touch Of
modern Interpretation which the great
Italian conductor gave to IL. such ms
the decided slowing OF the second theme
of the first movement for example. On
the other hand, there could not possibly
be any caviling at the breadth Of inter
probation which he showed in the pre-
lude TO Tristan"
In this connection. however, two
things must be considered: first, that
the Italians have no symphonic tradi-
tion and that the symphony as musical
form has never found favor in Italian
eyes, and second that Mr.. Tosca mini
stands pre- eminent at least in this
country as the conductor of Tristan" 4"
The opera is the form Of natural ex-
preston Of Italy's musical thought.
and while there are few Italians who
have sympathy with the Wagnerian
music drama, Mr.. Toscanini Is one Of
the few. In Tristan" especially. he
was conceded to be far greater than
any Of the German conductors Of the
Metropolitan during the years of his
brilliant but stormy leadership.
But It was in the marvellous ensemble
effects which he produced in Debussy's
Iberia" and Respighi's Fountains of
Rome that he showed his best work.
For delicacy Of effect and an actual
tonal painting Of thought in the former
and Of concrete scenes In the
latter his performance has never been
equaled In this city. He had the ad-
vantage Of leading his own orchestra,

THE CRITIC TALKS
TO MUSIC LOVERS

LONE Of the most interesting OF the
~ musical events of the season nov
rapidy drawing to its close was th'
opportunity which Philadelphians hat
to hear two Of the worlds greatest
conductors and that at intervals sufb
ciently close to enable the hearers te
distinguish clearly the most marked
differences between their styles Of lead
ing.
These conductors were Willem Men
gelberg, leader of the Amsterdam Con
cert Gebeouw, the principal orchestra
Of the Netherlands and one OF the best
in Europe, and Arturo Toscanini, who
came here at the head Of his own orches-
ira, organized for a long American tour.
Mr.. Mengelberg was henrd twice In the
same program as guest conductor Of the
Philadelphia Orchestra, and Mr.. Tos-
canni three times, in different pro
gram on each occasion.
One feature. of the concerts of both
OF these great conductors was that each
seemed to prefer the lower stage setting
which Mr.. Stokowski discarded some
time ago. This setting is considerably
smaller tben tho ons revularIv used
by the Philadelphia Orchestra. and Mr..
Mengelberg was obliged to have some
small additions made to accommoda ate
the orchestra of 10 men for which the
score Of Strauss "Ein Heldenleben"
calls. He got them all on, but IL was
a tight squeeze. -. -
THE idea Of using the smaller setting
i was probably TO get the members of
the orchestra closer together and 10 keen

a
entirely different lines. Therefore, each
was et his hest In compositions OF di-
verse nature. Each Is modernist with
strong feeling for the classics, but
Mr.. Mengelberg was considerably more
Successful than Mr.. Toscanini in his
Interpretation of the latter, probably
because both by nature and by training
he Is more inclined to follow the classic
tradition.
It is difficult to judge Of Mr.. Mem
gelberg in the modern school of COM
position, because his program did not
contain any real masterpiece OF modern
work, The closing number was strauss
"a Hero's Life" but this work can
scarcely be classed In merit with the
modern compositions which Mr.. Tosca-
mini played, for in this tone poem, COM
posed in 1899, Strauss mad already begun
to show the paucity of musical ideas
which became even more apparent In his
later orchestral works, such as the
''Sinfonia Domestica" and the terribly
thin (musically) Alpine symphony. No
technique OF orchestration, even as bril-.
liant as that Of Strauss will conceal
this fact. At the same time, the pres
entation of this tone poem was prob
ably the most authoritative that Phil
adelphia audience will ever hear, as 1t
ia dedicated TO Mr.. Mengelberg. who is
a close personal and musical friend OF
Strauss, and therefore doubtless knows
the composition and the intention OF the
composer in IL as weA~ns any man can.
IL is much to be regretted that Mr..
Mengelberg's program did not contain
one OF the standard symphonies, either
of the classics of Mozart or Beethoven
or one of the less radical moderns, such
ozA nra fn
in the Liszt symphonic poem, The
Preludes," revealed him as q conductor
with as keen an eye for balance and
architectural beauty as for tonal color
and mass Of orchestral sound. He even
succeeded in making the rapid develop
ment Of the lovely figure Originally
eiyen out by the French horn quartet
in "The Preludes' sound dignifed, and
this is something Of feat.
TAKING his work as whole, Mr..
L Mengelberg impressed the hearers as
a conductor Of the eminently sane kind.
He did not try for bizarre effects in
any of the numbers on his program,
although the Strauss tone poem Is filled
with them This impression. gained
originally in the "Oberon' overture.
was confirmed in the Liszt COMPOSE
ton.
He evidently thinks musically in
broad lines and with the idea Of inter-
preting a composition as whole rather
than in detail. It is this obvious ele-
ment in his leading which gives the
definite impression that he would be
very great in complete symphony,
where the musical ideas co ordinate,
sometimes by contrast and sometimes by
similarity, to a. far greater extent than
they usually do in symphonic or tone
poem.
NJ. Mengelberg seems to put orches-
tral detail somewhat into the back
ground for this greater thing in con
ducting, but It must not be understood
that this important feature is neglected.
On the contrary, It is detail carried

hardships when the country was new.
On coming to Iowa Mr.. Durey
secured from the government the farm
which he owned until death. Mr.. Durey
was very industrious, thrifty, eco
nomical, and acquired considerable
property. He came to make his home
in Manchester in 1884, residing here
during the remainder of his life. He
was an indulgent father. and was
very considerate to the poor and
needy. When the Methodist Church
Of Manchester was being erected, Mr..
Durey subscribed sum of money
for the building with the understands
ing that when he died the church bell
would be tolled as many times as he
was years old. His request was full
filled.
The funeral services were held at
the home on Sunday afternoon, May
Sth, and were in charge of Rev. S.
r. Beatty. The interment was made in
Oakland cemetery. Xxx
