ence was so delighted that the
conductor and his players re-
ceived the greatest tribute Of
the last six months.
It was not a serious selection
which patrons Of the Sunday
concerts made. Only one Of the
truly great masters was repre-
sented-Beethoven, with the
"Leonora" overture No. 8. Other
compositions played fall into
the Semi-popular category. with

and the brief excerpt from

not quite with the Fourth

ALL TASTES REPRESENTED
AS it happened, approval OF
the public was divided about
evenly betw cen Beethoven,
Johann Strauss and Tschaikow.

presented as to the music itself:

been a division Of opinion about
the quality Of this performance.
The symphony was given a
great reading, one that paraded
its melodrama without those
exaggerations that make it vul-
gar. It was q study in expert
definition of the eloquent mel
odic address. It searched the
score for opportunities to en-
phasize the more delicate pro-
