It is a coincidence that Paul
Kochanskf, noted violinist, who is
here in recital this week, should
80 soon meet our dean of Ameri-
can conductors on tour. for it was

Damroscl OF Beethovenss last and
greatest symphony.
Beethoven the idealist was not
content merely to protest his criti-
cism of life So, having expressed
IN the first movement. his dissatis-
faction with things as they are. he
sets forth in quest of q remedy Tor
the ills he deplores-and finds It In
the ideal OF universal peace and
comradship through joy, triumph
antly proclaimed in the finale.
This finale based on SchiIler's
rode to Joy is the supreme ex-
preston of Beethoven's social IDEAL
ism. OF that democratic spirit
which had inspired him twenty
years earlier to write his Third
Symphony" in honor of Napoleon,
the champion of the people. and
then to revoke the dedication when
his hero turned autocrat.
