Records Are Eighth
In Series on Music
Appreciation

Peter Ilich Tschaikowsky's Sym
phony No. In F Minor" considered
by many the greatest of the six
splendid symphonies written by the
renowned Russian composer, will be
made available to music lovers to-
morrow as the eighth offering of
The Stars music appreciation cam
paign.
This symphony has been recorded
on five 12-inch double faced records
by one of the worlds greatest Or
chestras and the complete record
group will be offered to the public
at a price slightly higher than the
seven previous releases of the cam
paign. All of the earlier offerings
were composed of either three or
four records.
The new release will be distrib-
uted as usual from the special
counter in the lobby Of The Star
Building. The booth is open each
weekday from am. to pm. The
first seven offerings of The Stars
program also will continue to be
available at the counter. They are
the following symphonic works:
Haydns Symphony No. SO in E
Flat Major; Debussy's Clouds, ;"
Afternoon of Faun' and "Fes-
tivals"; Bach's "Brandenburg Con-
certos Nos. q and 81; Wagners
preludes to die Meistersinger" and
"Parsifal"; Mozart's Symphony No.
40 in G Minor; Beethoven's Sym
phony No. in c Minor" and Schu-
bert's Symphony No. 8 in B iMnor. ;"
Tschaikowsky studied to be
lawyer and at first enjoyed music
in a purely amateur fashion. But
one day, when he and his cousin
were at the piano, he was struck
by the latter's chord modulations
from one key to another, and moth
ing would satisfy him but that his
parents permit him to study har-
mony. A flve-year course at Pet
rograd Conservatory under Nikolai
Rubenstein resulted in his appoint
ment as professor of harmony at
Moscow University.
All of his early compositions were
operas, all bad, but he persisted.
Six symphonies, the symphonic
poems, Francesca da Rimini" and
Manfred; many operas, chamber
music and outstanding piano and
violin concertos were the products
of his Russian genius,
Shortly after completing his sixth
symphony, the composer contracted
cholera from drinking unboiled wa
ter while an epidemic was raging in
Moscow. He died on November 6,
1893, at the age of SO.
