SING WAY TO HEALTH"
PARIS LECTURER SAYS

Paris is much interested in a
series of lectures given at the Sor-
bonnie by Henri Frossard, in which
he develops the well-established
theory of the notwithstanding prop
critics of deep breathing. In non.
technical language, he says his sys-
tenn consists of in-breatlning deeply
through the nose, and out-breathing
through the mouth, emitting at the
same time a long -draWn-out note.
It might be summed up by the
theme, Singing your way to
health"
These respiratory gymnastics
should be carried out daily, and for
those musically inclined the note
need not be monotone. but can be
varied at will. The functions of
respiration, NJ. Frossard says. are
not less important than those of
nutrition or sleep. A system of
breathing, in which all the tubes Of
the throat and chest are brought
into play, is the best treatment for
most ills, and it requires neither
instruments nor medicine. He in.
stances it's efficacy in the treat
ment of the poisonous conditions
which follow pleurisy, constipation
neurasthenia, arterio-solerosis, etc

MUSIC IS HOBBY
Of FAMOUS
SCIENTIST
Albert Einstein Finds Melody
Helpful in Study of
Mathematics.

Aside from mathematics, the chief
interest of Albert Einstein, pro-
FOUNDER of the theory of relatively,
is music, according to John w. N.
Sullivan in Vanity Fair.
"A great work of what used to be
called absolute music" writes Mr..
Sullivan. resembles a great mathe-
NAUTICAL deduction from more than
one point of view, but chiefly in
this, that its development is a free
activity of the spirit in
music the spirit is creating in ODE
dience only to its own laws, just as
it is in mathematics.
THE march of a train of mathe-
NAUTICAL reasOnings also has this com
plete inevitability and complete in
dependence. To this inner logic,
Einstein is, as we should expect, ex-
ceptionally sensitive. In his mathe-
NAUTICAL work one is always amazed
at the extreme delicacy of his logi-
cal instinct. and he is quick to de-
tect the corresponding quality in
music. Literary music, such as
Wagners, and much more modern
music, he finds either undressing
or repellent. Emotional transitions,
which may be quite true, as it were,
of the arbitrary way things happen
in life, but do not obey the inner
logic, very soon fatigue him. His in
terest is not merely that of a lis
tener He is a really good violin
ist, and although so far as we know
he does not compose. his pianoforte
improvisations are, he says, a ne.
ceSsity to him." -..r

Works of Hans Pfitzner Make
Deep impression on
Auditors.

One Of the important musical
events of the season in. New. York
was it's introduction to the works
of Hans Pfitzner, the Russian-Ger-
man composer, who has made such
a deep impression in Europe but is
practically unknown in this country
Carl Friedberg, who is in this
country for course of concerts
and lectures at the Institute of
Musical Art, gave program OF
Pfitzner's work, this past week, as
sisted by Samuel Gardner, pianist,
and William Willeke, 'cellist.
In these early works, in spite of
the romantic influence of early
nineteenth century composers, the
qualities of Pfitzner himself as por-
trayed in his later works, rise above
that influence. There is a lack of
eensuous charm in the music, a
certain lack of completeness, COM
pensated for, however, by its force,
originality, and quality that i'm
presses one as an intellectual
height. -
5 Ills spirit in his music was the
spirit Of Schopenhauer," is Mr..
Friedberg's own description of it.
An expressionist and an impression.
list, he has inventive as well as
ornamental beauties, but never
sensuous ones. The whole struc-
ture in these early compositions
point to the operate works of his
later years, the greatest of which
is "Palestrina," his latest work, ac-
cording to European opinion.
Pfitzner was born in Moscow, but
has spent his life in Germany since
childhood.

George Daland, who to this writer

will long remain in the memories
of the fortunate ones who heard it.
Mr.. Daland, it may be explained

Some time ago, Cadman arranged
a program of his own compositions
at the request of Mr.. DaIand. 1t
comprised the best of his more Sc.
rious efforts. It was this program
that Mr.. Daland put on Tuesday
night at the Arts Club.
The pianist was ably assisted l,y

SCARE FOES.
Of EGYPT
cleopatra's Warriors Beat Sis
trum to Dismay Of Her
Enemies.

Though music undoubtedly played
a. big part in the life of ancient
Egypt, little is known Of early
Egyptian music. No records have
come down to us and we do not
know how the Egyptians trans
nitted their melodies from genera
ton to generation. nor what the ex-
tent of their musical knowledge was.
But we do know that they used sew
eral musical instruments. Paint
ings and inscriptions represent the
Instruments, and the instruments
themselves have been found.
The harp was the most innpor-
tant OF several kinds of stringed
instruments known to the Egyp-
tians. The smallest type OF harp
was bow-shaped, and it was carried
on the shoulder. The middle-sized
harp stood on q low stand before
which the player kneeled. The larg-
est harp was as tall as man and
was richly ornamented.
There were four kinds of flutes,
the flute proper, the flute with two
reeds (oboe1. the double flute with
parallel pipes and with pipes diverg-
ing.
Various instruments o. percus-
sion were used; Including clappers,
tambourines, cymbals and the Sis
trum, which Victor Loret, the
French Egyptologist,.s thinks should
be considered essentially Egyptian.
The sistrum consisted OF frame of
bronze or brass, from nine to eight
cen inches long, through which
three or four metal. bars were loose
~ inserted. 1t was used at religious
rites and was supposed to drive
away evil spirits. The. sound was
produced by shaking, so that the
bars or rods might rattle and jingle.
Cleopa6ra's soldiers are said to have
used the sistrum to frighten their
enemies at the battle of Actium.

FAREWELL TOUR
PLANNED BY
PIANIST
Pachmann Expects to Sing
Swan Song in United
States Next Fall.

Vladimir de Pachmann, the world
famous pianist, recognized as the
greatest living Interpreter of the
works of Chopin, is announced for
a farewell tour of America during
the season 1s23-1924. under the di-
rection of the Metropolitan Musical
Bureau. Music lovers. and more
particularly students of the piano
forte, win read this announcement
with the liveliest interest, for this
grand old virtuoso has not been
heard in America in twelve years,
during which q new generation of
concert goers has grown up.
Pachmann will arrive in New
will begin his concert tour a month
later and vii. remain in America
until the end Of May, 1924. Dur
ing this period he win be heard in
all the important cities Of the
United States and Canada, from
New York to San Francisco, from
Minneapolis to New Orleans.
This is genuinely farewell tour.
Pachmann has not played in Amer
lea, as has been said, for twelve
years, primarily because he has
always feared the difficulties of
ocean travel. At least this has
been the reason he always offered
when turning down the importuni-
ties of concert managers. There
was, however, another and perhaps
more potent reason: 1t has been
possible for Pachmann to play year
in and year out fnsEngland and in
Italy, and the great Russian had
little inclination to leave the COM
forts of his European homes for the
Indifferent accommodations OF ho-
tells and railroad trains.
But Pachmann has been per-
suaded that the message of his
playing ought to be delivered to
the countless students of the pres
ent generation who have never had
the good fortune to come under the
spell of his extraordinary art.
These young people know Pach-
mann only by reputation. Their
teachers and the books they read
have confessed Pachmann the great
est exponent of the music of Ch0-
pin-as nearly the reincarnation of
the Polish genius as has been
vouchsafed the world of music. 1t
was by representing this need so
ardent in the minds of all students
that his American managers con-
WINGED the Chopin expert that he
ought, to forsake-for the benefit
of his art-the easier and simpler
life of his English tours for the
more arduous one, of farewell 70
America.

Patient Is Entertained
By Radio AS Medics
Weld Scalpel

The radio was employed to
divert a patients attention as
an aid to local anaesthesia by
surgeons at Fordham Hospital
recently during an operation
upon Edward Higgins, of the
Bronx. The operation, for her.
MIA, was successful, and it was
admitted that the. radio. might
in future become a factor in
similar operations.
The four physicians, who per-
formed the operation were
loath, for professional reasons,
to discuss the use of radio
outfit, but it was learned that
Higgins attention had been
completely distracted from the
work Of the surgeons as soon as
the headgear had been slipped
into place by a nurse. He lis
tened to a concert and, accord
ing to one informant, laughed
at one time during the tedious
operation at jokes by COM
edian.
F, 1t was explained that none of
the surgeons could hear the
concert, as no magna-vox equip
ment was used, and that. there
fore their attention was not
similarly distracted from the
operation. 100
