four to be given by the Philadelphia
Orchestra at Constitution Hall will be
on Tuesday evening, November 81, at
8:45. The Hungarian conductor Eu-
gene Ormandy will lead this famous Or
chestra of 110 musicians.
Eugene Ormandy was born in Buda-
pest. Hungary. in 1899. His father, one
of the best known dentists of that city,
while not a musician. has always been
musically inclined and when only a
youth, decided that his first child would
have to become a professional artist.
When not over year old, little Eugene
received a violin and Immediately
showed signs Of extreme sensitivity for
music by trying to play it.
After studying a few months Eugene
was taken around the city as a child
wonder. Mr.. Ormandy, ST., then took
Eugene to the State Academy of Music
In Budapest, where they first refused
to listen to him because he was so
young, but after they heard him they
not only accepted him as a pupil, but
put him at once In the second class.
came the pupil of the famous Hun
garian violin teacher Eugene Hubay,
and It was through him that Eugene
Ormandy was invited to appear at the
Royal Palace to play for the Emperor of
Austria Hungary Joseph /.
BY this time he had won fame
through Central Europe as a wonder
child. The next few years found him
touring the continent with great sue
cess. during which he was playing with
the Vienna Philharmonic. Vienna SYM
phony Orchestra. the Berlin Bluethner
Orchestra, the Budapest Philharmonic
Orchestra and in many solo recitals. In
Vienna alone he had to give six solo
recitals in one season. 1t was there
that he decided TO come to America.
Subsequently Mr. Ormandy became
well known as conductor of the Capitol
Theater Grand Orchestra and has made
several successful appearances in New
York with the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Orchestra as guest conductor
In 1890, Mr. Arthur Judson. presi-
dent of the Columbia Concerts CORPORA

Thursdays Symphony
Dr.. Kinder Comments on Program to Be Given
Thursday Afternoon at Constitution Hail.
BY DIR. HANS KINDER,
Conductor National Symphony Orchestra.

"Adsgio for Strings
and Harp" ..... .Benedetto Marcello
The Adagio from the concerto by
Benedetto Marcello, which opens
Thursdays program, was for q long
time supposed to be by Bach. as he
had transcribed 1t for the clavicord.
It was subsequently ascribed to Vivaldi
(a number Of whose works Bach had
arranged). but it now has been def
nitely proved to be by Marcello, the
mighty Venetian, as he was called.
The nobility of its melodic span is
such that it is small wonder Bach
adopted it. This was at the time not
considered plagiarism; on the contrary,
it was in those richer days, current
usage for composers to study and tran
scribe each others works. The work
was the main thing, not the composers
name, and we can but consider it for
tunate that Bach's adoption saved it
from probable loss to the world.
Symphony No. 8, in F.. Beethoven
AllegrO-Vivace e con brio
AIlegrettO ScherzandO
Tempo di Menuetto
Allegro Vivace
The symphony q Thursdays pro-
gram is BeethovenIS eighth. To me
this symphony, even more than the
seventh. is the symphony of rhythm.
Even the second theme of the main
movement (which in the other SYM
phonies by Beethoven always has
singing character) is her more rhyth-
mically vital than "cantabile." In
stead of a slow movement we have an
allegretto-Said to have been inspired
by Maelzel'S demonstration of his latest
invention, the metronome "a legend
which, for once, may have some truth
in it,. 1t is followed by a menuet.
much slower and heavier than the
usual menuet of the period, which has
as its second part a charming trio.
The last movement is exuberant in its
gayety typical of Beethovens moments
of nearly peasant-hke mirth But
there is always, underneath this nearly
peasant-Hke exterior, the hidden
strength which in the sudden and vio-
lent changes of the harmony, shows
again and again the lions paw-"La
grife du Hon," as our French cousins
say.
