NOTES ON MUSIC, PAST, FUTURE,
AND MUSINGS ON THE OPERA
A Suggestion Transmitted to the Orchestra, the Rich
Quartet Again and Other Matters
of Interest
A suggestion has been made to the
Music Editor of the Evening Ledger, and
ho cheerfuly publishes It, with his hearty
approval, It Is that since Percy Grainger
la down on the Orchestra programs, and
since Mr. Grainger has. played with as
tounding brilliance and with a very real
sort of success a concerto by Delius. that
this concerto be substituted for the Cries '
concerto when Grainger plays here. It Is
certainly not too late to mako the change,
even If the rest of the program must be
slightly modified, since Mr. Grainger will

and played the concerto recently for the
flrst time In New York.
The Rich Quartet, assisted by Elsa
Lynns Cook, soprano, and with Ellin
Clark Ilammann at the piano, will give
Its second concert of the present season
on Wednesday, December S. The success
of the quartet at Its first concert was
unmistakable, and gives more than or
dinary satisfaction in thU year when j
chamber music Is not too frequently
given. The Kncisels are coy and the
Flonznleys have given us up. To take '
their place, the Smith' Musical Bureau has
done a very good thins in its exploitation
of MM. Itich, I.orenz, Vnn den Ecrmt ,
and Klndler. The program Is attractive. .
and, although thf presence of a singer .
with a quartet seems unjustifiable, that
will be a matter for later decision. The
quartet by Ernst von I"htianyi i ri"t
known to us. The other quartet la Bee
thoven's In C minor.

thrown Into paroxysms of Joy by the an
nouncement of that opera. They made
their disgust with the choice clear to
certain official gentlemen connected with
the press, and these gentlemen added
their own protest and left the matter in
Mr. GatU's hands.
The people who protested were not hlKh

they love opera la proof of that for It Is
now the great affectation to be superior
to opera. And what is much more to the
point, the scat-sale for Trovatore, up to
