I VL THE CRITIC TALKS TO MUS1CL0VERS Weekly Comment on Tilings Musical ifi Discriminating Philadelphia TUB trajric dentil In Itoston Inst Fri day of Lieutenant .lamp Hecse Kuropo, the fnmous colored lender of I ho equally fnmous bond of the JMMMIi Infantry, nt the hnml. of one of liln own men, calls to mind the fnet thut It wai In Philadelphia the evfniiiK before thut he conducted his lnt full concert. The band which Lieutenant Ktiropr nrsnn Ized and letl with such populnr succes xvns made up of n rurinim nortment of Instruments, and it is accredited with brine the forerunner of the populnr !; "jazz" music which is ueh n trial and J tribulation to the muicinn after une j' or two numbers have been rrlnjcri. ... It must not be supposed Mr n nin- 7 ment that Lieutenant Kurope was n I man of mere orRnuizlnR nbllity and that gf he had nn musical Rift". On the con- ' trary, he hal dcclcd musical talents. t . xxhicu, hail they lint, the same oppor tlfhlty for technical development n cer tnlh other mu-lcinns of his rare, notnbly fltenry T. Itui IcirIi or Coleridgc-Tnj lor, might have produced as considerable n figure in serious music ns thej. Like most of the mlored ince. he had n faultless scii'c of ilivtliiu. mid the com- position of his. which the band nlu.vcdi at the conceit here, showed a fair degree of melodic invention and a gooil feel- Ing for the. uses f ihe instruments of which the band was composed. ,, . , , , However, it is rather tin- purpose of this nrlicle In dicuss music of the to , which Lieutenant Km one's band made popular than the lender liimelf. Music nf this kintl must sulci hne an np- is able In letain iniiiiense penl when it audiences cnr after cnr, een if these audiences rniel icpieent more than a ery nindernte ntnnunt of musical cul lure or learning.

'' moderately developed form of orgnn obocs or bassoons, which wns nrobnblv I iwd noise which may appeal for a time just as well, for these delicate toned instruments would have been completely smothered in the general welter of noie which 'the band produced. Outside of this the instrumentation wns about thut nf the nernge concert baud, except that he had a quartet of saxophones, two cellos and two stringed basK-. the latter re-enforcing the four tuba which formed the real stiength nf the bass. In performance the band gave Ihe general impression that an -important thing in pin ing work of this char acter is to play them as fast 'and ns loud as possible. There was in the evening concert here not one real jiitino (soft) passage. Tlicie wa. however, considerable divcrsit in the instrumen tation of the nrious number, but most of it went for little bccaiMC of the tonal force with whith ever) thing was played. THK members of the baud a a whole had a remarkable feeling ot rhythm, which, as said before, is a strong char acteristic of those members nf the col ored race who nre musicully inclined, as most of them are. The work of the drummers (one of whom was the slayer of his chief the following day) was a really remarkable uchiccment in the faultless rhythmical sense displnsed. as well a in the actual manipulation nfi the instruments, 'lln. however, seems to be u sine qua mm in music of thiH character. There was also n considera ble nmount of technique nf execution displayed by inanv of the performers, the weak point being nn nlmost univer sal roughness nnd coarseness of tone. Another favorite device of "jazz" music seems to be whnLiuny be termed an Illegitimate use of certnin of the in struments; No piece wns uppnrently complete without sereral car-rendlug brays from the trombones (and, re member, there were six of them I. while one of the clarinetists produced some shrieks from n, seeming! harmless in strument that strongly reminded the hearers of a rooster with an exception ally powerful lung capacity nnd n bad cold. These were obviously done to amuse the audience, nnd they nchleetl their purpose admirably. However, It mny be questioned whether these effects were worse musically than some of Itichurd Strnuss's iii,lie "Sinfonicu Domesticn,'' "Don Quixote" or the "Alpine Symphoii," although the pur pose of the latter wns apparently more serious. CVXB interesting feature of the con- J Ci cert was the performance of what the program termed ( "highbrow num ber,'' the selection for this position of honor being Iteisslger's overture to the Opera "The Mill, on the Cliff." The writer, who waa attending his first "iazi" concert, partly from motives of curiosity, had frequently been told that these bands "can play good music just ns well as any If tliey wanted to." Well, perhaps they can, but nt all events they didn't. The question of just how much claim nn overture to a comic opern by Iteis slger hns. to being "highbrow music" heed not be entered into, but in any case It Is, n well-constructed, well-written piece of music, with nn abundance of llght'meodles, several of which nre de veloped with great skill. Lieutenant Kurope and his band ap parently had little idea of the way to play a work of this kind. He took the allegro furlnso with which Jit opens (t Is In 2-2 time) at a very moderate pace, beating four to the measure. The main movement of the overture was Jn' more accurate accord with the tempo indications of ther com poser, but 'there was no shading and where tbe theme lay In the middle or low'cr voices H was completely lost In , the couutermelodies of the louder ami '.ihltrher ones. -'' ''OJCJnly'rfyne' 'slight li?ronal knowledge' Coming Commencements and Concerts by Pupils Tuesday Commencement Combi C'onscrvntory, Academy of Music, 8:15 p. m.

On the other hand, lacking as it doe all the thiugs that go to constitute good music, it is: extremely doubtful whether it can ccr serve as it factor in the propagation of a feeling for better music among the people who attend the "jazz" concerts. If it possessed n single one of these things, there would be some hope that this desirable entl might in time be accomplished. Hut the people who altentl the two musical .extremes seem to be as fnr apart music ully ns the poles. And even at that, it is doubtful whether the trnimil musician attending a "jazz" concert suffers any more acutely than would a "jazz" audience under the infliction of u program of l!ccthoen and Hruhnis.
