year the symphonies have received a
much larger percentage of votes than
in previous years. This naturally
shows a tendency in what I would
consider the right direction. At the
same time 1t brings difficulty with
it, For instance, we have had $50
votes for the Schubert Unfinished
Symphony" and 450 for the New
World" 230 for the Jupiter" 260 for
the Seventh" of Beethoven, 2l0 for
the Sibelius mo. q" 100 for the Cesar
Franck, 80 for the symphony by
Thompson, 20 for the ''Divin Poeme"
by Scriabin and a number of votes
for the Beethoven mo. S." Tschia-
kovsky mo. 4" and mo. S." etc.
This, as I say, creates a difficulty
It does not seem completely fair that
those $50 votes for the Dvorak New
World" symphony, or for that mat
ter, the very interesting large num-
ber for the Jupiter" symphony Of

crete example of the difficulty, we
have played, as you may remember,
a number of works by Johann Strauss.
Where the general consensus of opin-
ion seems to indicate that this is a
popular choice. it is difficult to make
the final selection because the num-
Der of votes, although numerous in
every instance for the individual
works, is not as large as that for one
particular work like, for instance,
"Finlandia" or the Pines Of Rome"
The Beautiful Blue Danube" and
the "Fledermaus" overture each hold
their own with nearly 300 votes.
The "PiZZicato Polka" has few
more. Wiener Blut" has 95, Wine
Women and Song" has so. Under the
circumstances, and if our audience is
of the enthusiastic disposition which
has constantly made the Sunday aft
ernoon concerts the joy of the execu-
tants, an encore by the great Johann
Strauss may not be unwelcome.
Therefore, think that although a

arranged for this particular concert,
next year we should have some differ
ent way of making a final program
satisfactory to all concerned. How
this will be done, do not know as yet,
Perhaps it will be possible to have
the public register an immediate vote
on each program during the season
rather than rely on their recollec-
tions several months after having
heard the works. 1t might also be
well if personally would choose just
certain works and then have the audi
ence make its choice from among
those. Or maybe some one who is
reading this article may have better
idea and would be good enough to in
dicate it to me, for which would
be very grateful.
At all events, it is a source Of deep
satisfaction to realize both the trend
and the extent of our audiences in
terest in the works we have performed,
and can now only hope that under
the difficult circumstances I will not
disappoint too many with our pro-
gram Of today, which we will begin
with the overture to the Magic
Flute" by Mozart, followed by the
immortal Unfinished Symphony of
Schubert. To end the first half of
the program we will play the ride
of the Valkyries."
AS the New World Symphony" had
a very large number of votes, although
not as large as the Unfinished Sym
phony," and as it is impossible to
put two such symphonies on one
program, I have not wanted to COM
pletely disappoint those who voted for
this particular work. I will there
fore start the second half of the pro-
gram with one movement of the "New
World Symphony" namely, the
Largo. This will be followed by
the nostalgia First Hungarian
Dance" of Brahms. We will then do
"Finlandia," by Sibelius, which re-
ceived six more votes than the Pines
of Rome" and will end the program
land the season. with Artists Life
of Johann Strauss.

If every musician in the city would
realize the seriousness of this and
would put aside personal feeling in
order to work for the good cause of
music, much could be accomplished.
If they would set a standard ior
themselves and bind themselves to
abide by code of ethics, oStracizing
those who would not conform, the
quality of the musical output would
be such as to attract the attention
of musicians the world over. Music
would not be so lightly decided upon
as a business by the unfit, and the
profession of music would be lifted to
the same plane as other professions
where rules have been formed for
their government.
this in part would be the establish
ment of a national conservatory of
music in this city. For this We do
not need help from other sources but
simply the combining of the talent
and knowledge that is to be found in
every branch of music in this city.
AS it is at present, the local teacher
is merely a vorbereiter whose pupils,
when they have reached a certain
point, seek the glamour of the name
of a great conservatory or teacher
elsewhere. Why should not students
from other centers seek the prestige
of study at a national conservatory?
If teachers in the city pooled their
interest. such a conservatory could be
established without monetary sacrifice
on their part. With a union of such
force, the standard of music could be
held to the highest, it could be super
viSed and directed. The benefit would
likewise accrue to the young artists
whose careers could be assisted and
whose adequate preparation would pe
vouched for by a competent body.
With all the advantages that a con-
servatory offers for displaying the
results of their work, teachers would
not spend years in the drudgery Of
bringing pupils to a certain point and
have the honor of their performances
accredited to some one from whom
they received a final polish.
There is bound to be conservatory
established in this city some day.
Will it be by Washingtonians or by
some enterprising individuals from
another city? There are many finely
gifted musicians among the young
students Who will guide them to a
public career and watch over them as
they continue to progress? Earning
ones living by music is business
that requires a business mans con-
centration and planning, also the
same codes for conduct as in the
business world. The musicians alone
can work out their problems and the
promises of the future are surely
worth the effort.
