THE CRITIC TALKS
mliiJ very lnrce and appreciative
J- niullcnce which greeted the Londen
String Quartet at the first meeting of
the season of the Chamber Music, As
sociation two weeks age, nnd the pro
found Impression which was produced
en the iiudlcnce by the public appear
ance of the Rich-Klndlcr-Unmmann
trio, especially in the Raclimnnlueff
trio, give rise te the hope tlint per
lmps chamber music Is finally coming
Inte the place of prominence in I'hlln
delphla which it (should prepeny liave.
Chamber music is the Inst of nil the
miNutl forms te win public apprccin
tien pielinbly because it is the one
musical form which depends entirely
upon the music and upon nothing else
for its appeal. In orchestral music
there is the color of the various liistru
ments. both in sole passages nnd In
loiiihtnatten, the muss of tone which
the orchestral" t lit t i evokes, and the
personality of tin; conductor, which in
these dins seems te be a matter of
inmi' and mere importance te the ituili
cni e
In the opera, ninny things ether than
the music enter. The words of the
hhrette, the voices nnd the periinnll
ties of the singers, the tonal muss of
chorus and orchestra, the dramatic
iieiimi nml the scenery all play un iin iin
pertnnr pint net only in the success
"f the weik, but In its appeal te the
licnrcis in i lie sole recital, from which
lininher mise uiidnubtcdl'- sprung,
there fs the personality of the soloist,
his appearance, style of playing nnd
iimin ether elements, all which hnve
an iiiiciuestlened. If unconscious, iflect
iipnn tlie audience.
T)I T there Is none of these in chnm-'-'
