SAMAROFF IN RECITAL
Stokewski Lectures as First Beet
hoven Sonatas Are Played
The first, third and fourth of the
thirty -Jwo sonatas of Ucctlieven were
Slayed in the Believue-Stratferd Hetel
allroem last night bv Mme. Olga
Samareff, and Dr. Leepold Stokewski
provided a prefatory address, en the
Talue of these pieces and interspersed
explanations of the character of each
and the influence of each en the music
that was written after some long after
the great day of the famous Dutch -German
genius.
The second sonata was emitted be
cause Mme. Samaretf played it last
Monday night, when Mr. Stokewski
gave an address prefatory te Mme.
Samareff's series of eight recitals. In
which the entire thirty-two sonatas
were te be given.
n-irdly anything that could be said
of Mme. Samareff's playing would be
adequate. The less said the better,
therefore, perhaps. Possibly Hcetheveu
himself could nave found- some in
finiteslirnl fault, but probably he would
have found none. She played with
such perfect grace and facility that only
pne who has attempted these works
Himself could realize the extreme diffl
eulty, manual and mental, of the tasks
that were being performed.
Dr. Stokewski emphasized the Im
portance of these early works of Beet
hoven and emphasized it specially be
cause there is a tendency te underesti
mate it. lie pointed out the elements
In them that Inspire!! the later work of
W agner. Chepin and even Debussy,
giving this earlier master the credit for
the attual creation of the musical
phass and manners that generally are
credited te later moderns. He gave the
impression that Beethoven created while
the ethers, great as they were, only
reared and developed the new germs.
Dr. Stokewski told hew Beethoven
in Vienna learned much from Bach,
Handel and Palestrina, but even then
he was net a mere pupil, doing what
he was taught te de ; rather he thought
and felt and spoke for himself. And
tnlinh ftf Ills thntiehfr wfts sr fnt- fM.
which the i vanced that some critics who roces-
It it , nized his masters regarded him as hardly
sane.
Tin sonatas, Dr. Stokewski said,
constitute a sort of musical auto
biography of the man,

The Philadelphia Grand Opera Ce.,
formerly the Italian Lyric Federation,
gave a performance of Verdi's greatest
opera, "Otello," at the Metropolitan
Opera Heuse last evening before a
shamefully small' audience. The. per
formance was rather uneven, being dis
appointing In placee, although the prln
ripals rose te the glories of the last act
in splendid style. The opera Is one of
the most difficult in the literature of
the operatic stage and is net one te be
given without long and careful re
hearsal. Of the principals, Mr. Marzlale and
Mr. Mazzent wcre mercihan fully ade
quate, even te the enonneus demands
which the composer makes upon them,
both vocally and dramatically. But
these parts' were splendidly sung and
equally well acted, although Mr. Maz Maz
zenl had n cold which gave him con
siderable, trouble towards the end of
each of the first three acts. Beth have
voices of great power and brilliancy
nnd they acted their parts together
most convincingly. Miss Zucarini as
"Desdemona" did net de se well In the
first nets but appeared te excellent ad
vantage In the "Willow Seng" and the
"Ave Maria" in the last act, when
the splendor of the music seemed te
exirtan unconscious influence ever the
cast, the orchestra and the audience, as
well It might for it is one of the great
est acts ever composed.
The miner parts were well done, al
though there was at times ,a certain
lack of ceheslau suggesting insufficient
rehearsals for se difficult and complex
a score. The same comment might be
made with regard te the orchestra,
which seemed te suffer from a lack of
familiarity with the tremendously dif
ficult music, besides which certain in
struments called for in the score were
missing.
Despite this, however, it was the
first chance with a solitary exception
that Philadelphia has had for some
cars te hear this great masterpiece of
operatic composition and the beauty of
the dast act and the sincerity and gen
eral excellence with which It was sung
mere than atoned for the slips of the
first ones, which were due te causes
beyond the control of the performers.
