As to Tcmpos and
The Metronome
We shall have occasion to say some
thing about the tempt Of Beethoven's
compositions and the advocates Of full
license IN the matter will be ready
with the statement that though
Beethoven indicated the tempi of his
principal works by means of
metronomic marks, he did not really
believe i'll the metronome, and that the
instrument which he used was incor
rect Even so great a scholar as DR..
Won Bdlow once interposed this OBJ
lection to our criticism of an obviously
improper reading of the Eighth SYM

Beethoven was responsible for the
metronomlc markings Of his SYM
phonies and that they serve to indi-
cate the fundamental tempo III which
he conceived the music and wished to
have it played. 1t is equally beyond
question that tho metronome of

did much to promote its adoption) was

as nov. That principle is based upon
the subdivision Of u minuete into equal

not the instrument i'll Beothoven's
possession WAS strictly accurate and
whether or not he may have given &

study different from that which he
would have given it had he been before

raised by these two questions modi-
tcations OF the nrnte4 tempo marks
may exist without violence to the COM
pcser's Intentions. Also it must be
admitted that Beethoven desired no
hard and fast adherence to his ind-
cations; they were fundamental but
variable in the course Of d movement,
according to the changing moods of
his music. The notifications must be
within reason, however, and not SO cN-

phony Orchestra. Whether the last per
tormancc, which was set down for yes
terday took place, cannot be said at the
time of this writing, but may be learned
from the review of the concert printed
elsev here. Mr.. Stransky's interpreta
ton raised no question Of tempo. In
that respect it was thoroughly tradi-
tional Mr.. Coates's reading WAS in
some particulars more amazing than
any VIC have heard since Mr.. Thomas.
while temporarily obsessed by a vagary
with which he was inoculated by read
ing q treatise on tho phrasing of the
symphony written by Dr.. Carl Fuchs,
of Dantzig, subjected several Of the
themes Of the symphony to dreadful
distortion. Fuchs in turn, had got his
rctions out Of book with the fearsomc
.ls,e "Musikalischc Dynamk und Ago
gih." Mr.. Thomas confessed that what
he did TO the symphony was gricvous
to his own feeling for propriety, and
after two or three experiments brought
his performances back into the fold OF
obvious and righteous beauty Mean
while however, The Tribune had proved
the error of his ways by appealing to
Beethoven's own manuscript markings
made on the orchestral parts used at the
first performance Of the symphony on
February IA, 1914. These parts are pre-
served in tho library of the Gesell-
schaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna,
and Mr. Mandyczewski, the archivst of
the society, consulted them at the re
quest of The Tribune's reviewer and
provided the proofs which established
the authenticity Of the traditional
phrasing, which no conductor in New
York has Vcntured to question since.
70 the same documents We appeal
now in a discussion Of features in the
recent readings which we with the
humility and modesty which must char
acterize a mere layman in the presence
Of the great men who WELD the baton
and make gospel for their congrega-
tions) think subversive Of the compo-
ser's intentions. The parts were found
among the posthumous papers Of
Beethoven and bought by the Gesell-
schait der Musikfreunde at the auction
sale of Beethoven's effects after his
death. They are, of course, older than
the first printed score and bear evil
dencc of careful revision by Beet
hoven of the work Of his copyist, and
also Of the great desire which he felt
that his indications in respect of
tempo, phrasing and nuancc should be
followed. In one instance the evidence
is characteristic Of the composer. Gus
tav Nottebohm, whose studies of
Beethoven's sketchbooks are as inval-
liable as they are conclusive, says Gin
his book entitled "Beethovcniana") Of
the voice parts of the Seventh Sym
phoncy: "Beothovcn had wakeful eye
on the ce-parts. In a first violin
part somebody had written two crosses

pencil and in large letters the first
time: N. B.-Thesc arc Ak Of an ass

owing to the carclessness Of conduc-
tors, who have failed to observe the
fact that the upper A sounds louder
when plucked than the lower, espe-
cally since it is reinforced by the cello,
the effect SO long as we can remember
down to Mr.. Stransky's performance
last week was to throw stress on the
upper tone, with the result that to cur
ears the effect has been to turn the
dactyl into an anapest, something Ike

Eccentric 1empos

Whenever we have asked conductors

the answer has been that the sforzando

second note, but not the last. In Mr..
Coates s performance VIC heard only

For this his furious tempo was in part
responsible. Beethoven indicated that

So. Only once before have We heard
the movement turned into such IN
orgiastic whirl. That was when MIR

make suggestions to the great baton
wielders, even if prompted by Beethoven
himself, and the great artists and
pedagogues who expounded the art Of
music in his period.

FROST DAMAGES
FRUIT; PEACHES
SERIOUSLY HURT
County Agent Reynolds
Makes Inspection Tour;
Apples, PIums and Pears
Not Destroyed.

According to County Agent Lee
Reynolds, who inspected the condi-
ton of the fruit crops east Of town,
Sunday, the heaviest losses in
fruits from the effects of frost were
among the peach and apricot
crops. Mr.. reynolds found that
the plums near Menaul school were
entirely unharmed, as We're the APP
pies. The peaches here We're hurt
badly. At the farm of r. J. Strong,
the peaches were more seriously
damaged than anywhere else, and
at the Presbyterian sanatorium
farm, about IS or so per cent of
the fruit was destroyed.
At the girls welfare home the
peaches were ruined, while the
plums remained in good condition
The pears were unframed by tho
frost. Mr.. Reynolds stated that the
apples were not damaged because
they were not out enough. The
entire apricot crop was destroyed
by frost. Around Pajarito the
peaches were still safe.
Mr.. Reynolds said that many
farmers tried smudges Sunday
night but because of a strong wind
they proved ineffective. He further
stated that smudges were to be used
last night in an effort to counter
act the frost. William D. Long, of
he forest service, accompanied Mr..
Reynolds on his inspection trip.

FORMER HEAD OF THE
INDIAN AGENCY, ILL
HERE, WILL RECOVER

P. T. Lonergan, formerly super
intendent of the Indian agency here
but for the past few years a resi-
dent of Los Angeles, has been Sc
riously i'll at st. Joseph's hospital
for the past few days, but his con-
dition last night was said by DR..
w. r. Lovelace to be much i'm
proved.
Mr.. Lonergan became Ill while
on his way from California to his
old home in Pennsylvania, and as
he approached Albuquerque his
condition became so serious that
he was taken from the train and
placed in st. Joseph's hospital.
For a day or two little hope was
entertained of his recovery, but II
was stated last night that unless
unusual complications developed
he is in no danger.
Mr.. Lonergan was superintend-
ent Of the Indian agency for about
five years, res.gning in 1917 to
