As the orchestra played it yesterday,
details were worked out in a manner
to contribute to the grandeur of the
structure and the poetry Of the con-
ception. The symphony is rich in
musical thought, with a particular
genuineness of source and throughout
its movements unhampered fantasy
finds free play. Brahms had a magi-
cal gift for tone color as descriptive as
a poetical word and the variety and
never failing quality of this gift is
best exemplified in the second Of his
larger orchestral works. DR.. Kinder
gave it sympathetic reading, stress
ing, perhaps, more the poetical than
the forceful side, but one in which his
complete accord with the emotional
vividness of the composer was clearly
evident. It Is work such as this
symphony that tests the caliber of
an orchestra personnel, and in yes
terday's Interpretation the men were
pliable in shadings and correct in
purely mechanical performance.
The vrtuosity that is required to
project the atmosphere of a compo-
sition like Sibelius Swan Of Tuonela"
was abundantly present in the sub
dued yet positive support which the
orchestra gave the English horn, on
which rests the burden of the pic
turization Of the stately bird in its
mythical realm. Sibelius has drawn
on somber colors to create his effect
Of destiny and has written of death
with sad sublimity, yet clothing its
story in the melting song Of the
swan. The melody given to the Eng
lish horn has an echo in the cello,
and the artists of the orchestra, Will
liam Schnabel and Howard Mitchell,
first celhst, received appreciative ap-
plause for their performance
The orchestra gave dignified rem
dition Of the "Sarabande" and the
"Gavotte" by Bach, and the program
closed with the fanciful overture to
Wagner's Flying Dutchman." This
opera, which took form in Wagner's
mind during q terrific storm at sea
on his journey to England, has a
melancholy note running through 1t
and the restlessness Of the sea itself.
DR.. Kinder brought out these two
elements in well directed interpre-
tation which justly brought q small
ovation from the interested audience.

HENRY GREGOR, member of the
Washington Composers Club, was
guest of honor last evening at the
University Club where he gave an
address on Modern Music and How
to Listen to It," with illustrations on
the piano.
Mr.. Gregor gave an unusually IL
Illuminating explanation of what mod
ern music Is, placing it opposite clas-
sical and romantic music to better
demonstrate its reasonableness. Be-
ginning with definitions of sound and
the two forms it may take, that of
tone or noise, the lecturer proceeded
logically to his description Of over
tones, the various chords and the
method Of classical and romantic
composers used in the simple resolu-
ton Of the melodies. Using Wagner
and Liszt in pointing out the progress
sion, he arrived at Debussy and the
ultramoderns. Amusing, but effective
Illustration Of the manner In which
modern composers utilized the same
Evening star., 1934-03-02

material was given by Mr.. Gregor's s
playing Of Yankee Doodle" as De-
busy or Schoenberg might have writ
ten it.
Telling examples Of the different
forms given to the same idea were
made by Mr.. Gregor's playing of a
composition by a romantic and a
modern composer side by side. Lie
bestraum," by List, was bracketed
with "Poeme," by Scriabin: the Re
Nuisance" fro mSchumann's "Carni-
VAL" with a composition in the same
key, by Debussy; Rubenstein's "Ro-
nance in E Flat" with an "Etude," +"
by Scriabine, and Stravinsky's "Sere-
made in A." with the "Bourree." by
Bach.
Mr.. Gregor spoke in interesting and
logical fashion. finishing his remarks
by saying that II synthetic musician
could be produced, the best combina-
ton would be so per cent Brahms and
so per cent Moussorgsky, Scriabine,
Debussy, Schoenberg and Stravinsky.
The audience. filling the hall almost
to capacity, followed with particular
appreciation an exposition of a diff
cult and intriguing subject by Mr..
Gregor, whose sincere musicianship
added force to his argument.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Tn Pan
Alley has been inserted into the
operatic world by George Antheil.
The feat was accomplished at the
world premiere Wednesday night OF
'Helen Retires," the opera upon which
John Erskine and Antheil collaborated.
It was the third new American opera
to reach New York in the month, the
others being Merry Mount" and
s.Four Saints in Three Acts"
The newcomer deals with Helen OF
Troy, but not with one Of the legends
familiar to schoolboys. Erskine has
taken Helen for a ride; he has
made up an ironic yarn about her ac'
tivities after the funeral Of Menelaos.
AntheiI, whose music in the past
has been somewhat mpredictable, and
generally cacophonous, fooled every
body by havoring his new opera with
just plain jazz. Helen sings what
might be called the first cousin Of q
torch song, and Paris croons to Helen.

Staging was more than modern
almost unique at times. Frederick

most of his effects with light.
The chorus was used in q vaguely
Greek manner, seated on each side of
the proscenium, and dressed in flow-
ing purple robes and curious white
masks.
Occasionally the principals drop
into Parlando. One especially long
exchange between Helen and Eteoneus
is accompanied by nothing but one
flute. ..,

According to rumor this is the first
