Of London. When he appeared in
cap and gown at the Oxford cere-
monies for his degree (perhaps with
his own private thoughts as to the
value of such an honor, the audi
ence could hardly be held in bounds,
SO great was its desire to overwhelm
him with admiration.
The symphony premiered on this
occasion won unstinted favor, as did
all that he wrote for his new pub
lie. But, whether in ths confines
Of the EsterhaZy estate or among
the glamour Of a capital such as
London, the same serene and de-
lightful music was given birth.
Haydn had always a way Of putting
some original touch into every
thing that he wrote, and the Anal
movement of the oxford" SYM
phony, with its charming, gay play
on melodies, Is the individual mark
of this symphony. The stately be-
ginning Of the first movement and
the poetic beauty Of the second
are further evidence of his tremen-
dous talent. The symphony is given
most sympathetic performance by
the Paris Conservatory Orchestra,

II your musical appreciation has
become rather jaded by midsum.
mer there is one composer who will
lift the pail from your enthusiasm
and put you in a pleasant and snil-
ing humor again. This man Is Joseph
Haydn, and the Victor Co. must
have understood his irresistible ap-
peal, for it has issued another OF
his symphonies, one of those which
found inspiration in the first highly
successful season that Haydn passed
In London under the enthusiastic
sponsorship of Solomon. Among the
many attentions showered upon
Haydn was the conferring of the
honorary degree of doctor of music
at the oxford Commemoration,
July, 1791. For this event three
concerts had been arranged, and at
the second was performed for the
first time his Symphony No. 90
in G Major" thereafter known as
the oxford" symphony.
In that year, which saw the last
meeting Of Mozart and Haydn, the
latter made his first trip to London,
arriving on the very first day of
1871. A series of concerts featur-
ing Haydn's works had already
been advertised widely, and In a
couple Of months the first was given
to most ecstatic eulogies. The man
who had lived so many years on the
quiet estate of Prince Esterhazy was

bert. The artist of these disks is
Artur Schnable, who has dedicated
himself to the study Of the music
of Beethoven and Schubert. A
superb technician, Mr.. Schnable is
also a great analyst and thinker,
so that everything he plays bears
a profounder note than many
another artist is able to give. Even
these delightful numbers, several
extremely popular with pianists Of
all descriptions, are as carefully
reproduced as any more dramatic
work.
A single disc that will undoubtedly
find great favor is the recording Of
Delius' "On Hearing the First
Cuckoo in Spring" Played by the
London Philharmonic Orchestra un-
der the baton of Constance Lam
bert, this very lovely work is excel
lently presented. Delius, who is in
the fore rank of English composers
of the so-called modern period,
spent much time in this country
where he worked in the orange
groves Of Florida. 1t is supposed
that while there he found the in
spiration for this work. The name
of Delius stands side by side with
that of the classic Purcell as the
greatest English writer's OF music
although more than 200 years sepa-
rated their birth dates. Delius died

Americans In Two Galleries.
An innovation this year is the
addition of American masters in two
galleries. One regrets that it is not
so successful as it might have been.
One small gallery contains 20 early
American paintings, mostly por-
traits. There are two interesting
18th century primitive portraits of
children, from Charleston, S. C. A
majority of the famous 18th century
painters are represented, most of
them with portraits: Smibert, Pieter
Vanderlyn, Robert Feke with Mrs.
James Bowdoin," lent by Bowdoin
College,; Benjamin West (portrait
Of Mary Hopkinson from the ma
tional collection of fine arts); James
Peale, Ralph Earl, Benbridge. Trum-
bull ("Sortie from Gibraltar" a large
historical composition which he
painted to appease the British peo-
pie, who had been offended by his
painting Of Bunker HID. The su-
perb Vaughan portrait of George
Washington, which came to the
National Gallery of Art in the
Mellon gift. is one Of the two por-
traits by Gilbert Stuart. An ex-
cellent portrait of Gen. Samuel
Smith by Rembrandt Peale recon-
Giles one to the absence Of his more
famous father, Charles Wilson
Peale. Copley is present in the
sensitive portrait of Dorothy Quincy,
wife Of John Hancock. Washington
Allston, John Vanderlyn, Joseph
Wright and Thomas Sully complete
the roster Of early American paint
ings.
The second American gallery is
the one which seems unsatisfactory.
One cannot quarrel with the choice
of artists, but the hanging leaves
much to be desired. Morse, Neagle,
Inness, La Fargo, Hunt, Homer, Ea-
kins, Ryder, Cassatt, Whistler, Sar-
gent, Duveneck. Chase and Weir
all are represented with from one to
three paintings, good examples when
regarded individually, but which in
the hanging, produce heteroge-
neous impression. There are also
several artists who have so recently
passed from the scene that their in
clusion is fruitful of controversy.
A block of six galleries devoted to
18th and 10th century French paint
ing gives an admirable review Of this
school, France, which in the 18th
century danced on the brink of rev.
olution," had in the favored classes
the gayest and most feminine civil
ization In modern history. The arti-
ficiality of the theater was echoed in
the life at court. Nevertheless, there
was grace, beauty and charm, which
is conveyed to perfection in the
paintings of Vatican (by whom
three outstanding masterpieces are
shown, Boucher, Fragonard, Lam
cret, Van Loo, Pater, Natter, Nine.
Vlgee-Le Brun and others. all well
represented in the 18th century gal
leries. So, too, is Chardin, who while
contemporary with these others was
indifferent to court life, and has left
compelling picture of the middle
and lower classes.
David was the first great painter
OF the 18th century, and in the first
gallery of this period In France, he
appropriately occupies a wall with
his masterpiece of portraiture, La
