Philadelphia ,
frVIH first year of peace has not been
. J. all beer and skittles for some ot our
rat orchestral onranltatlona, and
fimong these has been the Boston 8ym-
pnony Orchestra. Troubles both ilnan-

the' famous organisation, and, from a

,as to the future of tho orchestra. How
ever, the deficit was guaranteed by prl
'vats subscription and the continuance
el the orchestra assured for at least
ityro years to come.
iVT
The TranscrlDt points out that "It has
been an open secret for many weeks
that the expenditures of tho orchestra
,.or the current year would considerably
I 'exceed Its Income. The cost of tho re-
organization of tho band, begun last
summer and completed for tho time a
kiortnlcht ago. has been consiaerapie, as
-,the management has sought for many

If who expect and receive large salaries,

i, every business, almost all the fixed
charges to which tho orchestra Is sub-
(Ject have Increased In tho ratio of the
' hour,
xt, "On tho other hand, In this year of
Ljtransltlon from the old order to tne
new," continues tho&rtIcle. "Its receipts
, have appreciably diminished more from
'the concerts in Boston than from those
"undertaken In scleral other cities. The
k (inescapable, foreseen outcome was a
".considerable deficit, estimated by those
Informed of It at, say, 1120,000.'
LjTTHEN the situation became ncuto
b IT Immediate action was necessary to
, ve the body which has had such n fine
artistic history and dono so much for
rnusio in America, noi only lor mo pree-
entseason, but also to assure Its future
rfor at least a season pr two ahead. Ac
cordingly, to quote' again from the
'Transcript, "the trustees recently as
sembled a Tew friends of the orchestra
and to them set forth the financial and
general situation In Its affairs and pros
pects. Krom tneso menus ana rrom
their own members, they received sub-
scrlpttons sufficient to pay the deficit
for tho current season, along with
pledges that secure any similar deficits
arising within thn next two years
"In the "Judgment of the trustees. It
was wiser to ask for private aid In
this fashion than to appeal to the town
In general, as did tho Philadelphia Or
chestra a few years ago when It was In
need of like relief nnd 'guarantee. The
trustees In their wisdom hae also pre
( ferred to keep these matters from the
Pudiic, out as was ineunuie wnrre eu
many persons were concerned, more or
less authentic versions of them hae run
from tongue to tongue, the best ac
credited of which is here written."
OP EVKX wider general interest to
the musical public than this frank
acknowledgment of tho financial straits
l of the orchestra comes the news In the
same article that M. Henri Tlabaud may
not be the conductor next year. It had
been the general Impression, at least
outside of tho charmed circle In Boston,
that M. Itahnud has a contract extend-
P Ing oter a term of years, but this seems
not to be the case. The Transcript says
on this point':
"With the continuance of the orches
tra in Its present estate and policies
I, thus assured, there Is hope, and even
Ir expectation, tnat tne puouc or tne sym
t phony concerts here and elsewhere
, (which, after all, Is Its chler source or
revenue) may soon learn who Is to be
I. the conductor for next jear. Tor the
i time being, speculation and surmse.

"It is Impossible to say with any

II continue mm in ms jireaem puL,
I f -
S IS natural, tho name of the con
ductor of our own orchestra, Mr.
'Stokowskl, appears In the discussion as
to the new leader, If there Is to be one.
1 The article goes on. In discussing the
. conductorshfp: 'There is questioning as
well about Mr. Bodansky, of the Metro
polltan Opera House, now an American
citizen; about Mr. Gabrllowltsch, of
' Detroit; about Mr. Stokowskl, of Phila
delphia, and of new laurels In New
York. Tct each of these three, what
ever his desires or qualifications, seems
tied to his present work, while to Mr.
Bodansky and Mr. Gabrllowltsch dls-
a a . t- a rn tifnrrltna mfrAn faaAlxr rslna

; . "As some say, again out or this cloudy
, background) may suddenly spring a new
conductor as relatively unknown here-t-

ROSSINI'S opera, "The Barber of Be
vlllc," which was given by the Met
ropolitan Opera Company last Tuesday
eenlng, Is not only a comedy In Itself,
but the circumstances of Its composition
had some aspects' almost as funny as
some of the scenes in the opera. The
composer claimed that he wrote the
opera in inirteen das, and It was cer
tainly composed, rehearsed, staged nnd
performed within a month of tho time
when ho began work on It.
Naturally, when working at such
speed, Ttosslnl did not hesltato to "bor
row" from other cemposers as well as
from previous works of his own. With
characteristic carelessness he lost the
oerturo which he had written for It
and. Instead of rewriting it, he simply
substituted the overture from his opera
"Ellsabetta" and It has remained there
ever since. Oarcla sang the part of
jvimavivn ana in tne scene beneath the
balcony of Roslna. at the onenlnr tier.
formance, Introduced a Spanish nrla of
ms own. it was a rank failure, and
before the second nerfnrmnnra nf thn
opera Rossini composed the beautiful
cavatlna, "Kcco rldente il clelo," really
the finest melody In the opera, taking
the tune from the opening chorus of his
own "Aurellano," which In turn was
taken bodily from his own oratorio
uiro in uaouonia.
MUCH speculation has been Indulged
In ns to why sopranos are allowed
to choose their own selections In the
famous "Lesson Scene." Rossini origi
nally wroto a trio for this number for
Itoslna, Bartolo and the disguised Atma
lva. but In some way It was lost and
the Indignant composer refused to write
another one, leaving the luckless Itoslna
of the moment, who happened to be
Mme. Glorgl Blghcttl, to choose what
ever she wanted. She selected a number
In which Bhe scored an enormous suc
cess, and the procedure took so well
with the audience that, even after the
opera was a pronounced success, Rossini
did not write anything for tho missing
number.
But these were not all of the composi
tion "stunts" to which "The Barber"
was destined. The air of Berta was
suggested, to' put it mildly, by a Rus
sian melody which Rossini had heard a
lady sing In Rome and he put It Into
the opera at her request, while the first
eight measures of the tuneful trio in
the last act, "Zittl. zlttl, piano, piano,"
are taken note for note from Simon's
nir in Haydn's oratorio "The Creation
Perhaps having scored so ereat a. sue
cess with one nf his own oratorio melo
dies, Kosslnl thought he would see how
one of Haydn's would work. It worked
well. .When the opera was completed
Rossini received $400 for the work.
There Is no record that out of It he nald
any rojaltles to the other composers to
whom ho was indebted for their lnoI-
uniary assistance.
It was a day ot rapid operatic com
position, but Rossini's feat of compos
ing a work of this length in thirteen
days seemed to be regarded as some
thing extraordinary and word of It was
carried to Donizetti. That prolific and
speedy composer sniffed and responded:
"Very likely. Rossini Is so lazy."
But then Donizetti had at that time
written the libretto himself, composed
tho music, conducted the rehearsals and
given one performance of a little two
net opera which he composed for pome
friends of his who owned a falling thea
tre, all In a space of nine days. How
eer..he acted In a good cause and the
work saved the theatre of his friends
by Its success. Incidentally, only a few
