first performance in Vienna in 1908
on a program that included two
other Beethoven premieres-the Sec
ond symphony and the oratorio,
Christmas Am Olberge."
This concerto, written In the cus-
tomary three movements, shows q
decided advance over the two pre-
vious works Beethoven composed In
this form. In the words of Hans
Engel, German musicologist. In the
third concerto "the virtuoso no
longer has the upper hand and the
conventional conception Of the con-
certo as social art is abandoned"
Brahms ID Major Symphony"
growing steadily in popular esteem
until it seems likely to displace the
more familiar First Symphony in
the public affection, was written in
1877. Unlike the &C Minor SYM
phony," on which he spent some 20
years, the second symphony was
dashed off, in about four months,
during summer at Portschach,
where the violin concerto and the
first violin sonata were also written.
More genial in mood than the First
Symphony, the Second, which is also
in four movements, was an imme-
diate success at its premiere under
Hans Richter in Vienna on Decem-
Der 30, 1877. The third movement
particularly won the fancy of the
audience and called forth so much
applause it had to be repeated. The
Bach Prelude and Fugue" was orig
inally composed for organ and has
been transcribed for modern orches-
trail performance by Edgar T. Paul,
Baltimore composer, organist and
choir director.
The next concert in the Sunday
series will be given on November ~,
with Lucille Manners. popular radio
soprano, as soloist. DR.. Kinder will
present Tschaikovsky's "Pathetique'

Wduality Of the artists. For all
time, musicians will be able to en-
joy the gracious dignity of Pad
erewski, the elegance and originality
of Stokowski, the dainty charm Of
Lily Pons, the stateliness of Kristen
Flagstad or the boyish robustness
of Nelson Eddy.
More than that, they will marvel
at the effect on these artists when
they are performing in their special
line. They will see how the gra-
ciousness of Paderewski gives way
to the domination of the great
artist when he plays, how his ex-
preston grows more authoritative
and uplifted as he interprets music.
One cannot help but react to the
powerful magic of StokoWski's hands
when they are drawing out great
music even from pictured orches-
ira. A glimpse is had, and it should
be impressive to every one, of the
unquenchable inner fire that stirs
the artist when he becomes the
instrument through which the mean
ing of music is made known.
Then there is also the opportunity
of studying, in certain measure.
the technique of artists, especially
when close-ups of them performing
are given. Many a musician will
have an idea to add to his own work
by an unwilling demonstration by
famous artist. A pianist's way of
gaining effects from the mechanical
viewpoint, singers physical man.
nerisms can illustrate many things
stressed in teaching. But more than
all this, is the fact that one can
hear and see the artist just as he
is in life.
There should be more movies
made of the celebrated artists so
that a record can be kept of the
great ones of each generation But
the record need not be confined
to public performers. There are
composers, educators and the like
who will live in the memory of this
and the following generations for
the character of their work. If
there were a library established
where such moving pictures could
be kept and seen from time to time,
it would prove a stimulus to future
musical endeavors.
We could then gauge our process
more accurately, having present a
point of departure in the quality
of the artists of one era. We should
know that art, to live, must develop,
and we could check on how our work
assisted in that development. Fur
thermore, those loved characters who
had given of their best and who
had conjured up many beautiful
moments through their art would
yet be with us when their earthly
race was done. There would be no
stilling of the golden voice of music,
no reliance on memory or cold words
on a printed page, to describe the
art OF those who once left beauty
in the hearts of their public.

ssNASSo
and the mannerisms in the films
that have been made by them. This
is of inestimable value, not alone
to the musicians of the present time
but to those who will come after.
Nearly every one has had the
experience of knowing some older
person for whom the art of long
gone musicians remains unmatch-
able by any one today. We have
heard of the marvellous singing of
Jenny Lind cr Adelina Patti, the
conducting of Nikisch or the play
ing of Anton ,Rubinstein, but un-
less one is fortunate enough to
hear the records of the earlier
DAYS that some OF these artists made
there is no way of judging exactly
what it was like, Even so, the re-
cording technique was in its ex-
detrimental stage when these ar
lists were before the public, and
the results do not always live up
to the reports of those who actually
heard them.
There are volumes written about
the playing of List or Chopin and
others, or of the charm of Clara
Schumann. the simplicity and nat
uralness of Schubert or the SOM
berness of Beethoven. We are told
what they looked like, the impress
sion they made on others and many
details of how they performed.
Yet with all the data it is hard to
visualize them. and each indlvld-
ual has another mental picture OF
the great of the musical world who
are no more.
Now. however. we have highly
developed recording mechanism
which catches every infection of
the artist and in this way is able
to project the personality even
through the mechanical reproduc-
ton. So clearly are the many fine
points of an artists performance
impressed on the discs that one
may study them and profit thereby.
Not only the art. but the artists
personality. will live for all time, in
cased in this material form to be
enioyed long after his career is
ended. And with the further proc
ess of making new discs when the
old ones are worn out even time
cannot harm them.
Within the last few years the
cinema has turned to musical artists
and pictured them not only as per-
formers, but in human interest
stories that give one the opportunity
to s3e them as actual living beings.
Granted that their acting is planned
and directed from a Photographic
standpoint and to appeal to mis-
cellaneous public, the fact remains

The distinguished English pianist,
who has appeared several times
with the National Symphony. has
won wide following in Washing
ton through her artistic mastery
and superlative musical insight.
Miss Hess last appearance with
the National Symphony was on jan
uary 3, 1887. Acknowledged leader
among women pianists today, Myra
Hess was born at Hampstead, Lon
don. Her exceptional talent as a
child was quickly perceived by her
parents, who permitted her to begin
her study Of music at the age of
five Later she became a pupil of
Tobias Matthay at the Royal Acad-
emy of Music, of which institution
Miss Hess is now an associate and
fellow.
When Miss Hess gave her first
public recital in London it was with
such marked success that she was
engaged to play at important Or
chestral concerts at Royal Albert
and Queens Halls during that same
year. Since then her career has
been a series Of uninterrupted tri-
umphs in Europe, while her COM
plete capture of America is now a
matter of musical history. Max
ing her debut in New York, Janu-
ary IT. 1922, Miss Hess Immediately
commanded attention by reason of
the uper-excellence of her playing.
The. third concerto, which Miss
Hess will play, was the product of
one Of Beethoven's most active Pc
RODS. The 30-year-old composer
was besieged on all sides by pub
fishers who eagerly grabbed up each
work as it came from his pen. He
was in the enviable position of be-
ing able to make his own terms for
his compositions. The C Minor
