On the other hand, 1t gives Mr..
Rascher excellent opportunity to

greatest forte-a full. even tone and
great precision of fingerwork. A
good demonstration of ensemble
precision, too, stands out toward
the close of the composition, where
both the orchestra (under MI
Coates direction) and soloist blend
to perfection in an intricate synco-
pated passage.

Contented with what the B. M. I

In the meantime, appreciation
Of music may be benefited by the
exclusion of favorite numbers from
the radio program. 1t may be that
personal music making will be re-
vived, with a result that more effort
will be made to study and to pre-
pare for the return of music by
members of the family in the home.
Perhaps just such controversy was
needed to make the public realize
how absolutely dependent it is on
what is given to it over the air for
much of its musical pleasures.
There is no question but that the
radio has been a blessing to thou
sands. For the old, the very young,
invalids and those in districts far
from the bigger cities, it has bright
ened many weary hour and con-
trlbuted to an increase in culture.
There has been music for every
taste. in the majority of cases the
best to be had in the world, and
because of that, it has formed a
standard of judgment in the listen
ers that would take years to reach
were they limited to the few oppor-
tunities to hear music that existed
before the radio became popular.
Checks Effort.
But as with every good there is
mixed something of the bad so it is
with the radio and its musical pro-
grams. The possibility to have all
the music that is wanted by turning
a dial has done away with personal
effort in musical education. Why
should one practice long hours in
order to be able to perform small
piece in halfway acceptable man.

The fact is apt to be overlooked
that there was plenty of music
before the radio existed and the
kind of music that drew people to-
gether around the piano in the
home. 1t was not great music. to
be sure, nor perfectly performed,
but it was a part of peoples lives
in more enduring way than any
thing the radio can give us. For the
personal attempt to interpret music,
no matter how amateurish it is, be-

individual of more lasting value
than that awakened from a mere
listening to others.
Another point that does not reg

radio gives to musicians art. 1t

Bp Elena de Sarn.

A tone-poem of extraordinary
beauty has been recently added to
the already existing recordings by
Victor Co. of Richard Strauss
works. His richly harmonized Don
Quixote" offers one of those esthet-
ic pleasures which one may likely
wish to frequently renew and which
are within easy reach.
Entitled Fantastic Variations on
q Theme of Knightly Character, Op.
35," performed by the Philadelphia
Orchestra with Eugene Ormandy
conducting and assisted by Emanuel
Fuermann, solo cello; Alexander
Hilsberg and Samuel Lifschey, solo
viole. Don QuiXote," as other
Strauss music tinted by gentle
sarcasm. is humorous only to the
extent its text permits.
Introducing gallant" theme
fn the flute and oboe in the be-
ginning. the composer develops it
into tuneful measures written In
waltz time, assigning to either of
the two viole, the cello or some
other instrument the development
of the character study. Rich in ma
terial, original, as everything this
foremost wizard of melody fash
ions, this tone-poem is great mu-
sic. Added to it are the luscious
strains of Hilsberg's and Lifschey's
soil, those by Feuermann and of the
concertmaster upon his violin Eu-
gene Ormandy conducts with his
usual perspicacity for artistic ef-
feet.
Another outstanding number is
Manuel de Falla's Nights in the
Gardens of Spain" recorded by
Lucette Descaves, pianist, and the
Paris Conservatory Orchestra, un-
der the direction of Eugene Bigot,
