should prove a special treat to music
lovers to hear this work. Mr.. Benja-
min of the National Broadoasting
Studios Is to give a brief sketch about
Nine. Rimsky- Korsakoff and also ex-
planatory remarks about the symphony
before 1t is played.
The first symphony was written the
year that Nine. Rinsky- Korsakof was
born. It was one of the first of
Tschaikowsky's early works that had
great success. Nine. Rimsky-K orsakof
states that Tschaikowsky himself called
it Jimmie Grewzy" C'Winter Day
Dreams'). The leading theme is q
folk song melody that the great COM
poser had heard when on one of the
many long solitary walks which he so
enjoyed. He heard q peasant woman
singing this song at small country inn
in the neighborhood of Moscow, The
opening words of the song are "Zvetike,
Zvetochiki" C'Flower, FloWerlet'o. The
symphony was first performed In Mos
COW, and after the concert q group OF
Tschaikowsky's friends arranged q late
supper In his honor and many friends
drank toasts to the young composer.
Nine. Rimsky- Korsakoff states that
the uncertainty of the date that this
symphony Is TO be played depends upon
the speedy arrival of the music scores,
which were TO be sent from California
to New York for this occasion. CesarSs
Sodero dedicates the program TO Nine.
RiMsky- Korsakoff, who lives In the Mon
tello apartments in this city, because of
her sympathetic appreciation of the
genius of her kinsman. H. F.

had only static to abuse themselves

of thinking that only the most
