Delightful Number
The NOvartyro tn Diop1ip I'd no rd
Wagner, written in the old conven-
tional style, made up of themes from
the opera, was delightfully."- given. The
opening peal of the trumpet is the sig
nal for revolt in the opera Rienzi's
prayer, the Roman war cry, and the
chorus of Salutation of Reinzi, form
the principal material in the overture.
The execution of the "Andante Can

kowksy) brought out the full melody
OF the piece. This number is most
imprisoned romanza. After the in
troductory chords the principal mel

oboe enters with counter melody and
4 tender dialogue follows. The coun.
ter melody Of the oboe appears later
in the strings and is developed to

Oriental theme in the clarinet, later
taken up by the bassoon. A mighty
crescendo leads up to a dramatic sin.
lister statement of the principal theme.
The strings have few measures of
pizzicato, changing to pianissimo. The
original horn melody appears, this
time sung by the violins. The tronl-
bones again sound the motto, but the
mood gives way and the movement
closes with the counter melody of
the oboe.
