this is very convenient for the late
arrivals, it Is decidedly disconcerting
for both the punctual audience and for
the artists.
No matter how quietly and with
what dispatch the seating Is accom-
plished, it Is a distraction that often
destroys the effect Of the music, so
that the first number on program
often counts for little in the way Of
lasting enjoyment. 1t Is also q dis

The major concerts begin promptly
and the hour Of commencement Is
widely advertised. Delays in trans
portation can easily occur, but when
they do, the concertgoer should be
amiable enough to see the justice Of
waiting for q proper moment before
entering the hall. The entire audience
and the performers should not be
made to suffer because a few cannot
arrive on time.

DR.. Hans Kindler's Comments on Thursdays
National Symphony Concert
Constitution Hail. at 4:45 Pm.
Soloist: Sylvia Meyer, Harpist

paratively short time ago, 1t was not
possible for the harp to play certain
harmonic and melodic progressions
in quick order. This was because Of
the natural limitations Of the instru.
ment, which were not changed until
the so-called "chromatic" harp be-
came q reality.
Since then numerous other improve
ments have been made, until today
1t is one Of the most important in
struments in the orchestral family.
Virtuosi Of this instrument until re-
Gently were also few and far between,
but today the added perfections Of
the instrument have created an in
terest among many Of the younger
ones-mustcians, composers and per-
formers alike-and produced entire
schools Of flrst-class harpists. Miss
Meyer is a prominent exponent.
Both the Ravel and the Debussy are
typical examples Of what could be
called "impressionism" in music. Color
Is Of greater importance than design
In this music. This does not mean
that melody has been neglected, but
that it is no longer with its con-
current harmony Of primary i'm
portance. Tonal values and effects.
orchestration, moods. these are the
main things.
Both the works are highly atmos-
pheric and exploit to the full the
now manifoldly raised resources Of
the instrument, and will incidentally
acqauint our public with the splendid
solo qualifications Of our own harpist.

IT Is curious to realize that Brahms

at first with suspicion. with an
tagonism. and even wholly condemned
by the "eonnoisseurs." This could
be understood If it had carried In 1t
the germs Of new and revolutionary
ideas, If its orchestration or its har-
monic structure were such as to shock
the bourgeois, If it had introduced q
new art form. If, in short. it had vio-
lently broken with the past. These

Most players attract attention be-
