Opinions Fro and Con the Question
of Playing Without tfotes.
TALENTED PITTSBDRGERS ABROAD

DOIKGS IN LOCAL MUSIQAL CIRCLES
A pretty discussion is going the rounds
upon the question: "Does this playing
withoBtr notes pay?"
The Musical Herald, in raising the issue,
points to the mental and nervous strain
usually incident to playing before an audi
ence, and properly queries whether it is
worth while to add the effort of reproducing
a composition note for note, expression mark
for expression mark. The Philadelphia
Musical Journal takes up the discussion in
the same vein.
The opposite side is stoutly maintained by
mat mgniy repuiauie musician, Jir. vsouxa
I XiaTallee, in a letter to the last named jour
I nal, the cist ot which is io these three sen.
I tences: "I it ill answer that it is a necessity to
I memorize; in fact, any work cannot be thought
I and rendered properly unless tbe mind is en
Itlrely absorbed between the author and
Icerformer. In my experience
II hare never found any mental
Istraln in memorizing, and I believe
(any performer with a proper musical instinct
Twill corroborate my statement. Fertorwers
who cannot memorize are not, in a strict sense
Of the word, born musicians, and iu all cases
icy read rather than thmh a wort."
Mr. Lavallee is certainly to be felicitated:
ould that all nerlormers wero similarly con-
tituted. It may readily be granted that the
eal artist should be able, without undue
.rain, to nlav his renertolrn from mnmnrv
tith absolute fidelity to tbe composer and yet
ith the tpontaneity of improvisation.
Ihe question, "does it paT" however, is
irected not only toward tbe ideal; it is rather
questtonof expediency. And there are seri
ns doubts whether it i expedient to en-
ourage unreservedly the fast-growing fashion
f memorizing.
Note that this is a question of means, net of
inn. All true artists aim at the same thing
jo convey to the listener with tbe utmost com
pleteness and effectiveness just what tbe com
Kwer indicates by his written symbols. Toe
iroblem is to minimize friction in tbe macbin
ry, physical and mental, which intervenes be
. ween these written symbols and the listener's
:ar.
, The use of notes requires extra movements
pf the hand and mind tor the purpose of turn
ing the pages. This obstacle, as tar as it goes,
(does furnish an argument for memorizing. But
ht is a purely mechanical obstacle, which in
Iventive genius has in large part overcome: and,
(even if none of the patent music-tnrners"
are satisfactory, surely a prettj assistant turn
I in; the leaves would be an adjunct quito as
f unobjectionable as tbe "supe" that raises the
piano lid.
It is also generally true that the impression
produced upon tbe audience by tbe use of
I notes is slightly unfavorable. In some degree
i this also gives an argument for memorizing.
But to a large extent this unfavorable impres
I sion arises because it is the fashion to play
I without notes; while the correlative favorable
impression produced by the exhibition of mem
ory is very largely like other technical feats, a
' non artistic matter of wonder and admiration
at the player's personal prowess.
.
These are really side issues, however. The
true point is whether or not the use of notes
does distract the player's attention from the
work itself; whether memorizing means free
dom. That depends primarily upon tbe individual
player's organization. It cannot be conceded
by any means that "a proper musical instinct"
invariably implies a faculty for memorizing

Tbe memorv is a distinct faculty; It may be
highly developed, though tbeotberfaculties be

and keen. One performer may find it easier to

-whichever mode he finds best suited to him.
The critics and the public will tell him whether
he displays "a proper musical instinct" or not.
and the matter of his using or dispensing with
the notes should have little or.no bearing upon
their verdict.
Anotber aspect of the question may be
touched upon. Air. Lavallee objects to players
Who "read rather than (Ami; a work." A mo
ment's reflection will show that this is iust
what tbey ought to do. It is not meant by this
to encourage sight-readlne or other lack of
preparation In public, nor yet to deny that the
piajer must use his utmost endeavor to iden
tify himself with the composer. But he must
not identify the composer with himself, which
is quite auother thing and the most common ot
faults.
The true artist reads a composition; makes
himself tbe vehicle of another's ideas. It is
tbe self-important Tirtuoso who presumes to
(Ami, a composition: that i, to give It forth as
lie conceives it ought to be, to create rather
than to interpret, to give tbe audience more of
his own personality tban of the composer's.
The noblest quality in an interpretative artist
is an entire self-abnegation, a complete sur
render of himself to tbe composer. This
quality, difficult of attainment by any, is
especially so when one plavs without

ever as faithful to the composer's meanings as
the same player would have been with thenotes
before him.
It would seem, too, as If the sight of the
printed page would by association or ideas

lines from one so reliable as Mr. Louis C. Elson
will show:

After the intoxicating success of their ap
pearance at the "Rose Bazar" last week, the
members of the Oakland Ideal Orchestra will
take the summer to sober up in, resuming reg
ular rehearsals in the fall.
MB. WlLlIAM GtrENTHER. with his own
orchestra and the Great Western Band, under
Mr. B. Wels, will reopen tbe summer-night
concert season at Silver Lake Grove on Thurs
day evening of this week. All signs are
auspicious for a revival of fashionable interest
in this resort, which is entirely too pretty to re
main deserted.
The Mozart Club wound up its season with
the customary social evening at Old City wall
last Monday evening. There is some talk of a
club excursion to the seashore, with incidental
music-making en route, but the probabilities
are that the club's summer trio will be taken
vicariously in tbe person of Director McCollum,
for whom a snug purse has been made up for
that very purpose.
An eager public wonld like to know the
names of the two organists who, according to
an afternoon cotemporary, unanimously re
solved that the organ in Carnegie Hall "is very
ineffective and disappointing," while the one
in the East Liberty Presbyterian Church is
"the most complete and artistically satisfac
tory organ they bad ever tried or heard." And
the names will have to be big ones to support
that opinion.
Though very little has been prlntedabouther
appearance here, it is certain that Miss Marie
Decca, of Washington City, scored an excep
tional success at the Marine Band concert of
Saturday night a week ago. The testimony of
many who heard her is unanimous to that effect,
and raises the hope tbatshe may sometime again
be beard here on an occasion w hen attention
will be directed more to the musical than the
social and charitable features. Mr. Sousa and
his band also earned a hearty welcome for a
return trip some day.
Few traveling musical organizations can
point to a continuous season of 80 weeks.
Fewer of the concert-giving "musical families"
can show gennine blood relationship between
their members. Our -neighboring town. New
Brighton, however, is tbe home of the Noss
lamily father, mother and rive children
which possesses both of these rare distinctions.
During the prolonged teur just completed
each member of this remarkaoie family has
contributed bis or her share to the musical en
tertainments tbey gave, among tbe features of
which were an operetta, "The Lottery Ticket,"
by Mr. George O. Jenks. of Pittsburg, and a
musical comedy, "The Quick Match," by
Frank Dnmont. "
Chicago has some prospect of having a sym
phony orchestra ot the highest class A euaran
tee fund ot not less than $100 000 is being
raised to do for it what Mr. Hizginson has
done for Boston. Mr. Carl Woirssohn, one of
the Windy City's leading pianists and teachers,
having headed the list with a cool 51,000, is go
ing to spendsnmo of his vacation time in search
ing Europe for a condnctor. It is proposed also
to organize a strong chorus in connection with
the orchestra, and the giving of opera in En
glish is a possible development of tbe enter
prise. Who will bead a similar subscription
for Pittsburg? We have an ever-growing public
demand, and a good part of the material, for a
permanent, high class orchestra; all we need is
another score or so of players, a conductor of
sufficient eminence, and the money.
AS well because of the Pittsburg composer
at its close, as in the light of a foretaste of
what we will bear at the Exposition in the fall,
the following programme, given last Satur
day evening at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, by
Mr. F. If. Innes and his Thirteenth Regiment
Band, will be of interest to local readers:

Mr. Frank E. Saddler, of this city, would
teem to have been studying mus'cal theory at
Munich to some purpose, ludingfrom a recent
achievement in the shape of a really remark
able piece of counterpoint. In a recent letter
borne be describes it as follows:
-It is two parts for violins, written on the
violin clefs. Wben these two pans are turned
upside down and played backwards, with the
base rlef and viola or alto clef, tbev move
smoothly and chord with the to parts when
played forward with violin clefs.
"These two parts are written at right angles
crossing each other, and when played forward
.nd backward by two violins, viola and 'cello,
constitute a quartet.
I "This is tbe only example of its kind in exist
ence. Mozart wrote a conple of duets for two
violins this way and Haydn also. But no per
son ever put a quartet together In this shape
before." "
It is now in order for some contrapuntal
sharp to step np and inform us that every mu

A bargain grand
great is to be seen at
and
Pushing Prices,
GENTLEMEN, we find we
have too many suits of all
grades on hand, and to make
a quick sale of them we have
reduced the prices and suf
ficiently, too. Usual $io, $14
and $16 suits are now $8, $10
and $12, and other grades at
the same rate. The goods are
all wool, the patterns are the
newest, the making is the best
and they are by far the best
bargains in the two cities.
Don't think we are merely
over-confident, but remember
we have handled clothing
long enough to know its value.

A Righteous Verdict.
A Jury Is supposed to represent fairly the
general intelligence of the community from
wbicb it is taken. Tbe guilt or innocence ot a
party, thp value of worthlestness of an article
is established by its verdict. A verdict has re
cently been rendered oy a jury composed of tbo
best men taken from every country on tbe
globe; tbe evidence waa clear and Impartial,
and thousands of witnesses gave their testi
mony. The trial was a long one, occupying 20
years: and tbe jury have at last brougnt in a
verdict, which was, "Tbat Dr. Tutt's Pills
possess greater power over bilious and malarial
disease tban any medicine invented since the
foundation of the world." It is pronounced by
all a righteous verdict.

joined us, and through their untiring efforts aided tu in eclipsing anything of the kind
ever attempted in this locality. The harmonious event will never be forgotten by nj.
Not a jar, not a qnarrel, bat a general gennine Iovefeast was the order of the day.
Wo regret exceedingly that we were compelled for want of room to leave behind tu
over 800 eager friends who were desirous to join us in'our festivities, bnt will make anef
iort to provide for all one vear hence. Ihe various committees carried ont their respectiva
assignments splendidly. Language cannot express our feelings in consequence
