Fifty Originals Added to
Collection Through Gift
by Daughter.

r RS. ELLA HERBERT BART
M LETT of New York City,
only daughter of the late
1 4 Victor Herbert, has just de-
posted with the music division of
the Library of Congress in Washing
ton substantial share of her fathers
musical estate, consisting of some SO
original manuscripts, among them the
full orchestral scores of number of
Mr.. Herbert's most distinguished and
most popular operettas. The deposit,
which is believed to represent the
carrying out of what the composer
himself would have wished, brings
to the Library a notable addi-
ton to materials previously received
from Mrs. Bartlett and from Mr.. Her.
bert himself and insures the per-
manent and appropi late preservation
of the bulk of his work.
In their extent and in their va
riety the autographs deposited by Mrs.
Bartlett present faithful record of
HerbertAs fruitful and many-sided
career. The earliest manuscript-not
dated, but composed in 1891-is q
dramatic cantata, 1.-THE Captive"
written for performance at the
Worcester County Festival. Next in
order is song from Prince Ana
Mas" Herbert'S first operetta, pro-
duced by the "Bostonians" in 1894.
The score of Woodland Fancies," an
orchestral suite, composed in 1901,
belongs to the period of his connec-
tion with the Pittsburgh Symphony
Orchestra, while an Easter anthem,
with full orchestral accompaniment,
represents a less familiar aspect of
his activity.
At the opposite end of the scale is
''The Song Birds: An Operatic Out
burst" written for one of the "An-
nual Gambols" of the Lambs Club, q
skit in which the future composer of
"Natoma" and Madeleine" amuses
himself at the expense of Messrs.
Hammerstein and Conried and makes
low comedy of opera in general.
It is, of course. to the manuscripts
Of the operettas that the greatest in
terest attaches, and it is worth noting
that Mr.. Herbert's first and last ven-
lures in this field are both of them
represented In the collection deposited
by Mrs. Bartlett-"Prince Ananias" by
. single song, 1.-THE Dream Girl" by
the complets score. These works are

Academic Festival overture, Brahms
TINE Academic Festival" over
ture, with which my colleague,
Mr.. Van Hoogstraaten, opens
the concert today, was writ
ten for the occasion of Brahms re-
ceiving the degree of doctor of music
from the University in Breslau. 1t is,
in contrast to the only other overture
the master wrote (the Tragic" over
ture), gay, happy and exuberant.
The actual form is that of a short
symphonic movement. AS a compli-
ment to the university. Brahms based
it on a number of German student
songs, ending with the universally
known "Gaudeamus Igitur." The
music. after a veiled, mysterious start,
becomes quite direct and simple and
requires no specific comment.
Concerto in E Minor for Piano and
Orchestra" Chopin
THE Chopin concerto to be played
by Miss Castagnetta, young
pianist of extraordinary achievements
is one of the few works in which
Chopin used the orchestra
His medium, par excellence, was the
piano, an6 even in this work it is the
piano which predominates to such an
extent as in no other work for this
instrument in conjunction with an
orchestra 1t is. in fact. even less or
cehstral than the other concerto-in F
major-but it has, even more than
the other work, all of the typical
Chopin qualities: The melancholy,
the charm, the grace. what the Poles
call "zal," and which can be trans
lated only by a combination of the
aforementioned qualities.

"Eroica" symphony Beethoven
THE great significance of Beethoven's
Third Symphony" resides in the
fact that in it the master definitely
struck out his own pathway. The
first two were strongly influenced by
Mozart and Haydn, even though we
occasionally hear the greatness that
Is to come. But in the "Eroica" he
vouchsafes us the first glimpse of the
romantic world of which Beethoven
was the discoverer. The very name
indicates this.
Until then symphonies did not have
as their motive power the deeply hu-
man desire for liberty and strength.
Both of these were personified in the
young Napoleon, and so inspired Bee

chestra, is conducting the Philadel-
phia Orchestra at the Academy OF
Music, Philadelphia, for the third
consecutive time. He will lead the
orchestra again ON Tuesday, finishing
a short season as guest conductor OF
the famous symphonic organization
of a neighboring city. The fact that
DR.. Kinder was chosen to take the
place of Leopold Stokowski for these
four concerts is a source of general
qualification to his many admirers in
this city.
The wheel of life revolves in inter-
esting fashion as witness this little
story:
A short month before the World
War began DR.. Kinder, then first
cellist Of the Berlin Opera, came for
six weeks visit to this country. He
had a return ticket for the middle of
August, when his visit was to finish,
but never used that passage. The
war began, and he, as did many 9TH
ers, waited for that early termination
which was so hopefully promised at
that time. But the months passed
and the situation in Europe grew
steadily worse and the young man de.
cided he must do something in Amer
lea until he could return to his duties
abroad. In spite of his reputation. all
doors in New York were closed to him,
and 1t was then he thought of the
orchestra in Philadelphia, the ranks
of which had been depleted by the
call to arms for many Of the men.
lie JOURNEYED to Philadelphia
and applied for an addition. only
to hear the usual excuse that all va
cancies were already filled by DR..
Stokowski. However, a fellow coun-
tryman, himself a member of the
orchestra, asked to hear him, and was
SO impressed that he brought the
young cellist to Thaddeus Rich. con-
certmaster, at that time, of the orches-
ira. When DR.. Rich heard him play
he arranged an addition without more
ado with the celebrated conductor,
with the result that he was made first
cellist of the already famous Phila-
delphia Orchestra.
For several years DR.. Kinder held
his post in the cello section in spite
of his growing fame as a soloist.
Under the directing baton of DR.. Sto-
kowski, he played the entire repertoire
of the organization, which even then
was celebrated for its superb inter-
pretations Of classics and moderns
alike. This excellent grounding has
shown splendid fruit in the programs
given by the National Symphony, the
organization of which Hans Kinder
dreamed, and saw his dream come
true.
Today Dr. Kinder is back in Phila-
delphia with the orchestra that gave
him sanctuary when hard times caught
him. He returns to the organizatio
which knew him as first cellist, be-
cause of his success as a conductor,
a reputation which is rapidly grow
ing beyond the limits of the city of
his adoption. He has brought beauty
to his local audiences and stimulated
the musical circles to greater en-
deavors. It must be a deep satisfac-
tion to DR.. Kinder when he remem-
bers that he has organized and
developed an orchestra that may, at
no far time, rival the one he is direct
ing today.

are desiring a form of their own, ca
pable of reproducing the particular
characteristics of the present trend OF
living and thinking, and the influences
which are constructing our national
life.
Realizing that this new urge OF
American dancers must be given an
opportunity to try its wings, group
Of artists formed the American Ballet
School about year ago. The aim OF
this school is to apply the fine technical
knowledge of the ballet, as used in
Russia, France and Italy, to the very
modern, energetic and progressive
ideas of the youth of this country.
So successful has been the work OF
the students and so compellingg in in
terest that this group has been chosen
to replace the long established ballet
corps at the Metropolitan Opera this
coming season.
THE American Ballet is at present
on tour and will not take part in
the opening performances at the opera,
but the director of the school, George
Balanchine, will be in charge Of the
first ballet features to be given until
January, when the dancers return from
their concert appearances. When the
routine is established, it is expected
that the production Of balletS separate
from the advertisements included in
the opera performances will form a
prominent part of the Metropolitan
repertoire this Winter
This is distinct departure from the
old order of things, and promises to
add brilliancy to what is ever con-
sidered among the most brilliant events
of the musical season.
In Europe the ballet has always held
a special place in the operate sched-
ule, with entire evenings devoted to its
dance programs. This has not been
the custom in America, perhaps be-
cause the ballet corps was sufficiently
taxed in preparing the dance moments
that form outstanding scenes in many
operas. Under Mr.. Balanchine's d.
rection the American Ballet will pre-
sent the new numbers in which it
specializes, the new and progressive
art which has at last come into its
own in Americas leading opera house.
THE personnel of the ballet is almost
entirely American. Already its
adaptation of the classic ballet tech
nique to modern themes has caught
the attention of the public and won
over many who had adopted the belief
that the sharply defined manners and
ideas Of the present held little es-
thetic value. The American youth is,
above all, athletically inclined, yet
there is a grace and freedom in the
wholesome movements that can be as
expressive as the most studied gesture.
But this is insufficient for artistic
dancing If there is not a thorough
knowledge of music and broad general
culture that can stimulate q flow Of
original ideas.
The American Ballet School has
gathered together the best of each of
the great schools of the dance and
brought it to America to be at the
service Of the alert, healthy and tai
ented youth Of this country. It will
be interesting to follow the ballet's
programs at the Metropolitan this
Winter.
