Marshal Bluecher and the So

that Japan intends a strong peace

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Among the unexplainable peculiari-
ties Of composers is the fact that, In
all his great productivity, Beethoven
wrote but one opera. This fact is all
the more odd in view of the dramatic
instinct he showed both in his opera,
"Fidelio," and in his other works.
Although the opera was shelved for
many years after its first perform
ance, its famous overture. known as
the "Leonore Overture No. g." has
been a tavorite on symphony pro-
grams. This past month the Victor
Co. has put out a new recording
played by the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra. directed by Bruno Walter.
This splendid work of Beethoven's
Is one Of the masterpieces of his best
period. 1t not only demonstrates his
ability to write music drama but also
his fine judgment in the question of
what an overture should represent.
In the "Leonore Overture No. g." he
has given a remarkable synopsis of
the musical part of the opera story
which in itself is so complete as to
keep alive during the years of its
oblivion the fact that "Fidelio" was
one Of the masters greatest works.
The opera was first called "Leonore"
and at its premiere had another over
ture now known as "Leonore No g."
Beethoven labored long and hard at
the composition of his opera which
represented the fulfllment of one of
his ambitions. The sketch book with
the FIRST drafts of the opera is a
volume of 346 pages and, as repre-
sentative of the extreme care with
which he worked out the different
outstanding points, there are 1s ver-
sions Of the hero, Fiorestan's. aria
and 10 of the chorus "Wer Elm holdes
Webb" But there was trouble from
the very beginning in its staging. The
singers declared the music unsinga ole,
but Beethoven refused to change a
note. The rehearsals went badly and

the composer complained that IL was
useless to write in indications OF how
1t was to be sung If no one paid any
attention to his directions.
When 1t was finally ready for It's
presentation, conditions in Vienna
were in bad state The French army
was IN possession Of the city, and
Napoleon occupied the palace Of the
Emperor who, with the nobility, had
ned from the city. Not many Of the
great patrons of music were there to
hear the first performance, but in spite
OF all these disturbing factors the
opera was given on November 20, 1905.
1t ran for three days.
Advisers of Beethoven felt that both
the character of the music and its
length had something to do with its
lack OF success and they tried to per-
suade the composer to make the neces-
sary changes. Beethoven fought
against the idea as stubbornly and
angrlly as he could but at last gave
IN, agreeing to have the three acts
reduced to two and to write another

result. The opera had its first real
success at this time but its run WAS
short and for several years it was not
heard again. When it was once more
resurrected it had still a third over
ture, known as "Leonore No. /" and
the opera had the new name of
'Fidelio"
The recording of the "Leonore Over
ture No. g. under Bruno Walters
direction is fine one, in which the
climaxes and the dramatic intensity
OF the work are given special attention.

orchestra takes on more vitality and
