About the middle of the last period, with the score to l, "Crandpa" Biggs came out of a mix up with the puck and took angle try at the goal.

appointed general chairman Of
the Washington, D. c., unit of the
National Piano-playing Tournament,
according to a dispatch from ma
tional headquarters of the National
Guild of Piano Teachers, the spon-
sorship of the movement.
The tournament, an annual affair,
will bring piano pupils from the dis
trict within a hundred-mile radius
Of Washington to play especially pre-
pared programs for honors in this
national piano-playing classic. The
students try to make honor rolls that
are achieved by ratings upon the
programs played. Those who pre-
sent Apiece programs creditably will
achieve district honors: all who ably
play 7-piece programs will attain
State honors, while those who capa-
bly, perform 10-piece programs will
gain a place upon the national honor
roll, it was said.
The local tournament will be a
part Of coast-to-coast chain of sim
liar events that will take place from
Boston to San Diego this Spring, the
final affair being scheduled the first
week in June In New York City.
More than 1000 young pianists will
play programs for 1886 honor rolls.

him place among the great masters
OF all ages. 1t is perfect in every way.
Its inspiration has enchanted listeners
all over the world. Its perfection of
form, its Instrumentation, its melodic
line, as well as its great dramatic
depth, remain source Of delight and
wonder to musicians.
The next number on the program
Is the Debussy version Of the Satie
"Gymnopedies." Satie was one OF
those curious talents who considered
that the very putting on paper Of their
musical thoughts did them harm. In
consequence, he was an inspirer more
than creator, and .eld in modern
French music the same position that
Dargomishky held in early Russian
music. His music offers no problems
except those of true refinement and
delicacy. Quite naturally he infiu-
enced the kind Of genius which was
particularly Debussy's, and the latter
repaid his debt to his master by a
most delicate Instrumentation Of these
beautiful and utterly simple Greek
dances.
The final number on the program
will be to many in the audience a
semi-novelty. 1t has some Of the
same effect as "Bolero" by Ravel, ex-
cept that it is more melodious and
typically Bohemian in character.
Weinberger, a comparatively young
man, made his greatest success and
became widely known when the Met
ropolitan Opera performed his
"Schwanda," the Player of the Bag
Pipes" He is like a modern Smetana
or Dvorak, using the orchestra with
the utmost brilliance. The Polka and
Fugue" are the high points Of this
work, and will be, I think, fit ending

in the operate repertoire. More than
that, he has shown that opera can
sustain the interest of the audience
from start to finish in a perfectly
natural way and without recourse to
any stilted dramatic action.
This latter point touches on the
favorite argument of those who, I'M
schooled in opera productions, are
Dored with what they hear ana see Of
NE foreign output and therefore claim
Mat opera can never be popular in
this country. For all but the serious
music lover, opera, whether German,
French or Italian, is comprehended
with difficulty, both by reason of the
foreign subject matter and the style
Of dramatic action which is heavier
and less spontaneous than that of the
drama. The ong-drawn-out moments,
when action and gesture are sparse,
and the story is hidden through the
use Of a foreign language, have
counted more than a little toward the
lack of interest in opera in this coun-
try.
THE opening night of "Porgy and
BeSs" was a revelation of what
can be done when musical drama is
handled by those who bring the influ-
ence of the dramatic stage to bear on
the action of the opera. The singers
had no difficulty in putting over the
really intricate music without sacri-
ficing the continuous and life-like ac-
ton of the story. Scene followed scene
with a smoothly running continuity
and with a remarkable stressing of
every dramatic opportunity. Each
individual fitted into his character and
sustained it throughout. Gestures, ia
cial expression, and the small group
ings of types were as nearly perfect
and appropriate as has ever been seen
on the stage. 1t proves that a music
story can be interesting and entertain
ing, provided it is presented in a suffi-
GENTLY vital manner.
The singers in both the principal
roles and in the chorus were Splen-
didly natural in everything they did,
q great change from the usual opera
tic manner. Their gestures were free
and spontaneous yet full Of expression
while the whole performance glowed
with vitality seldom associated with
q musical presentation of this charac-
ter. One felt that for each individual
the unfolding of the story was real
and something he himself had expert
enced and therefore there was no need
Of stimulation.
THIS is what is necessary for opera
today. The old way has lost its
appeal. and if opera is not only to
survive, but grow in value as part of
the musical life. a newer and more
true-to-life color must be infused into
1t. This is the duty of Americans, who
come to all operatic production with a
fresh outlook and with fresh enthu-
siaSn. Heretofore the traditional
manner Of presenting opera has been
adhered to because no one has had the
courage to defy tradition or to seek
new material with which to try out
the effect Of new departures. The
few grand operas which have been
written by American composers and
produced by the great opera COM

Symphony Is Making
New Plans for
Next Season.

RUILDING q program from selec-
tions which have perennial appeal,
and for which there have been many
requests recently, Hans Kinder, con-
ductor, brings the National Symphony
Orchestra to its last Thursday concert
of the season next week. The concert,
featuring works Of Bach, Mozart,
Schubert. Debussy and Weinberger,
will be at 4:45 pm. Thursday in Con-
stitution Hall.
This concert may be significant, not
only because 1t affords the orchestras
Thursday patrons their last opportu-
nifty to meet this season, but also be-
cause it may be the last Thursday con-
cert the National Symphony Orchestra
will present. c. c. Cappel, orchestra
manager, announced that next sea-
sons midweek concerts may be shifted
to another day. The Board of Direc-
tors of the National Symphony Or
chestra Association is considering a
schedule in which the orchestra would
give a Wednesday series, instead of
Thursday group, and at least half Of
the programs in the new series would
be at night. Only two Of the eight
Thursday concerts this year were
presented in the evening. The direc-
tors expect to announce these plans
as soon as they are completed.
Meanwhile, the orchestra asSocia-
ton is continuing its campaign for
funds, which, after all. affect plans
for next year. Having raised approxi-
mately one-half of their 100000 goal
when the Today financial drive ended
officially last Monday, the workers
have agreed to extend the time. They
will carry on until the full amount is
obtained. At the final report luncheon
last Monday in the Carlton Hotel, 1t
was announced that many of the COM
mittees had not completed their cam
vass, and that several of the orches-
tra's contributors, being out of town,
could not be reached by solicitors dur
ing the campaign period.
Upon the workers success in obtain
ing the full 100000 depends not only
the plans for the regular season next
year, but also those for a series of
Summer concerts this year. The
Board Of Directors has pointed out
that because of the popular admission
price, and the great numbers of seats
made available at the water gate at no
cost, the association must be prepared
to meet some deficit on the outdoor
series.

Seasons Last Visit for
Philadelphia Musi-
clans Here.

THE fourth and concluding concert
to be given in Constitution Hall
this season by the Philadelphia Or
chestra, will take place Thursday eve
ming, April 2, with Leopold Stokow-
ski conducting. Mr.. Stokowski will
offciate in place of Eugene Ormandy,
conductor of the Minneapolis SYM
phony Orchestra, who was scheduled
originally for this event. A change
of plans by the board of directors of
the Minneapolis Symphony made 1t
possible for Mr. Stokowski. to conduct
for second time this season in Wash
ington, his concert on December 10
having been Cancelled because of a
painful injury to his shoulder.
Mr.. Ormandy will come to Philadel-
phia during 1867 to share the sea-
son with Mr.. Stokowski. and in view
of this arrangement the directors in
Minneapolis requested that he remain
there this Spring. instead Of coming
East. as had been originally planned.
Mr.. Stokowskis s program will include
three excerpts from Wagner's "Parsi-
fal'-the Prelude, the Good Friday
music and the music in the third act
following the development from the
time when Parsifal receives enlighten-
ment and initiation from Guernemanz.
The concluding number will be Rim
sky -Korsakov's overture lie Grande
Paque Russo" C"The Russian Easter.~
BY way Of contrast Mr.. Stokowski
has listed two compositions by Dmitri
Shotakovich, youthful Soviet composer,
whose opera, Lady Macbeth of
Mzensk," was protested when it was
given in Philadelphia last April dur
ing the Philadelphia Orchestra opera
season. Music from an entr'acte in
the opera will be played and also
prelude in E Flat Minor" which Mr..
Stokowski orchestrated.
