great voice, uttering superb poetic
speech. The momentous opening is
among the unforgettable exordiums of
music; the following allegro is among
the most powerful and draconian of
Brahms symphonic movements. The
third movement which takes the place
of the customary scherzo Is beguiling
in its own special loveliness, but the
chief glory Of the symphony Is the
finale. For here Is an appropriate rest
ing place for that difident eagle among
epithets "sublimity" Here are space
and air and light to tempt its wings.
The first performance Of the arrange
ment of music from "TriStant und
Isolde" was in Philadelphia at the or
chestra's concerts of April 1916, 1882.
After the introduction by the prelude,
there follows kind of symphonic syn
thesis of material assembled from va
rious portions of the score. These ex.
tracts are freely treated and combined
and are played without pause. They
comprise passages drawn from the scene
of Tristan's entrance into Isolde's tent
in Act I; from the opening scene Of
Act II, with the off-stage horns Of
King Marke'S hunt: from the love-dust;
from the music of Tristant's vision in
Act III and from the music of Isolde's
TRANSPORTATION.
Wagner worked upon Tristan

pleting the composition drafts" July

prelude to the music drama, however,

four months in advance of the compile
ton of the opera itself. The prelude
was then played without the finale for
the sufficient reason that Isoldes death
scene was not then composed. Wagner

first concert of the series in
Constitution Hall on Tuesday evening,
November 22 AS in previous years, the
hour for the concert will be 8:45 pm,
after which time the doors will be
closed and late-comers not admitted
until the intermission.
The program selected by Mr.. Sto-
kowski consists of two numbers only
the first symphony of Brahms in c
minor, and the arrangement of music
from Tristan und Isolde" Wagners
immortal music-drama, which has been
assembled by Mr.. Stokowski from va
rious portions of the score.
Brahms completed his symphony in
1875 when he was in his 44th year, and
its ripeness and confident mastery are
evident throughout. The approach of
the centenary of the birth Of Johannes
Brahms in Hamburg on May 7, 1888,
makes it pertinent to note the present
remarkable popularity of Brahms
greater orchestral works and the rela-
tive swiftness with which this has
come about.
When the "C-minor Symphony" was
played at Munich year after its pre-
miere, the second movement and the
third were hiSsed: nor was it Wagner
ties who did the kissing. but the "clas-
sicists" so-called. Now, in its fifty
seventh year, this music with 'the un-
imaginable touch" music infinitely
noble and sane and sweet and strong
music like that tonic and windswept
order of poetry" as one critic has said,
which "disinfects life for us and makes
it livable."
This enormous present popularity of
Brahms has developed almost over

symphony the listener is aware Of q

usual Observation-Disclosures that jazz Is
accredited with developing and to in
corporate them In a composition based
on his own musical ideas. The orches-

Philadelphia critic calling it lone Of the

civilized Indians on the banks Of
the Amazon River in the interior

While authorities admitted
there was a remote possibility the
rumors may be true, they pointed
out that many white beachcomb-
ers live with the Parantin Indians
