terday greeted the third In the
series Of recitals which are pre-
senting. for the first time in
Washington, the entire corpus
of works for violin and keyboard
of Mozart.
OF course. the audience came
mot to hear Mozart because this
Ibicentennial year is full Of the
sound of his works. but to hear
Werner Lywen and Richard Dirk
sen turn In another controlled
but exciting performance.
1t is even doubtful if much
actual Mozart was heard at yes
terday's concert because all the
works played, except the last. are
listed as being of uncertain
authorship. The last was the
workeof Raupach. and an excel
lent piece for all that. Not all
good composers are named
Mozart.
Doubted as MOzart's Music
The first six were sold by
Mozart's widow, in a copyist's
hand, to the firm of Breitkopf
and Hartel for inclusion in COL
lection of Mozart's works which
they were projecting. Later, in a
letter to j. A. Andre, dated
November 16, 1900. she expressed
grave doubts as to Mozart's au-
thorship of these works. She
asked him not to list the themes
as Mozart's, and to use his in
|auence not to have them pub
lished. Nevertheless, they ap-
peared in the complete" collec-
ton of the composers works
published by Breitkopf and Har-
tel.
After one attentive hearing of
IA f1rst-rate performance, and
after examining the music itself
for an hour or so, am inclined
to vote with the doubters be-
cause there is a certain square
ness of phrase and a tendency
to lapse into formula that / do
not find even in early Mozart.
Let me acknowledge my debt.

dilettantes Of all time. To him

The harpsichord is much better

NEWS OF MUSIC
By DAY THORPE

NATIONAL Qallery Orcneetrn, Hicn-
ard Bales, conductor. At the Gallery.
Program: Suite No. in + minor,
Edward MacDowell; symphony No. 2,
Charles Ives.
The music of Charles Ives. who
led two lives simultaneously as
q top executive of a big insurance
company and as an amateur but
avant-garde composer, is partic-
ularly dear to the heart Of Rich
ard Bales, conductor of the
National Gallery Orchestra.
Ives was unquestionably a very
great man because he had the
rare and delightful ability to set
everyone who hears his music at
swords points, and to win a
fiambouyant reputation as both
q genius and a fraud.
The second symphony, an early
work put together out of some
church music for organ and-to
quote composer, "a Steve Fos-
ter tune a barn dance with
all of its ,jigs, gallops and reels
=. played in Danbury on the
old Wooster House BandStand in
1e89"-is for my money a work
of genius.
Enhancing Music
It is one of the most winning
and enhancing pieces. by an
American composer that l know.
Certainly the material from
which it was made gives no
promise of being suitable for a
symphony. Certainly the piece
is in no textbook form, but the
music sings, it is brilliantly or
chestrated. and it has an unmis-
takably genuine vitality.
Like much of Ives music, the
symphony is saturated with quo
tationN from popular American
music. These borrowings when
they appeared in the Ives trio
heard at the Library Of Congress
a few months ago were satiric
and deScendental, but in the
symphony, far from seeming
comic, shoddy or patronizing,
they gave a warmth and a true
patriotism to the music that are
perhaps unique.
America the Beautiful" at the
end of the slow movement is not
a patch vulcanized on to some
thing alien, but rather an idea
that gives point to the whole
movement. The same can be said
for Columbia, the Gem Of the
Ocean," "Old Black Joe." "Se-
vance River" and many other
tunes which I could recognize
but not name.
Solid Musical Texture
The texture of the music is
solid and the details are always
interesting. While a watch clocks
VIC 0JAAPAAOA1J az dOOub I'LL &C
quarters of an hour. the listener
finds the time much shorter.
MacDowell's Indian" Suite,
on the other hand seems toler-I
ably long, although it is really
much shorter than the Ives. Al
reference book would probably
tell me whether MacDowell's In
dams are redskins or parsees.
While I suppose they are the
former, the question cannot be
answered merely by listening to
the music.
There is no doubt that Mac
Dowell had great talent. Each Of
the five movements starts well,
with good themes and knowl-
edgeable orchestration, but the
composer never seems to have
much further to say.

Mozart.
A musical evening at Holy
Trinity Church last night pro-
vided a model of excellent bal
ance and taste for any Catholic
parish, large or small.
Under its conductor. Lawrence
Sears, the Cecilia Choral So
|ciety, soloists and small orches-
ira played and sang Mozart,
Gasparini and chants from the
|Gregorian repertory.
The Mozart Ave Verum Cor
Ipus." the Gasparini "Adoramus
TIE" and the chants were per-
formed iturgically in celebrating
the Benediction Of the Most
Blessed Sacrament. This cere-
Imony followed the singing Of the
opening Mozart motel and his
Missa Brevis in d, K. 1874.
Ranging through a consider
able part of Mozart's creative
life, the early DE Profundis' is
as affecting as the late ave
Verum Corpus" The. D major
Mass is succinct, melodious and
of superbly tailored proportions.
The Gasparini motel is pleas
ant enough, but far enough away
from Mozart to cause wonder
that it could have been attributed
to his pen for a long period Of its
existence.
With minor exceptions, includ-
ing some Shaky entrances and
contrapuntal passages, the St.
Cecilia Society, aided by very
capable singing from the SOLO
lists, made most favorable i'm
preston last night.
Most Of the voices are of a
quality unusually good among
choral singers. Much of the time
the total sound is rich and sono-
rous. Their dynamics, however,
seem to gravitate too often to-
ward a forte level, and the tenn
pos over-favor an andante mod
erato. The result would perhaps
be less matter-of-fact if more
frequent pianissimos were used
and more opportunities found for
contrast and variation of
tempos.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4 (Rl.-St
Nicholas Arena will be a fight
club without fights after Janu-
