PITTSBTJEGr DISPATCH. SUNDAY, AUGUST "81, 1890. 7 :;"'. ' 'M - , ... " ' ZJ3 THE fr- THE' MUSIC TTORLD. lObjects and Alms of the State Music Teachers' Association. THE CAMPAIGN KOW BEGINHIKG. ' Effects of Performers Attempting They Cannot Master. What KOTES THAT INTEREST THE PUBLIC l The second annual meeting of the Penn sylvania State Music Teachers' Association frill be held at Philadelphia on the last three days of tbe coming year. Four months aheacl is none too soon to begin the active, aggressive campaign demanded by the large opportunities lying open to the asso ciation and which can be tnrned to the best advantage only by the support and co operation of musical folks throughout the State. Bemember that, though the first two meetings are held in Philadelphia, this as sociation is by no means a local enterprise of that city no more so than Congress is a local affair of "Washington. It belongs to the whole State. The western end is just as much interested as the eastern in making the coming meeting a success. And this, if lor no other reason than the selfish one that onr hearty assistance in this meeting will tend to draw similar co-operation from the rest ot the State for the meetings to be held here. Nor is the scope of the association at all so limited as its title wonld indicate. Not only teachers, bnt all intelligent music lovers and .their every interest, fall within its bounds. Singers, players of musicalin struments, critics and writers on musical topics share with teachers the right to active membership at SI a year, while all others interested in tbe art, though not professing or practicing any of its branches, may for a like tee become associates, entitled to all privileges but voting and holding office. Beally the name should be altered in some such way as has been proposed for tbe national body of the same aims say the "Pennsylvania Society for the Promotion of Musical Art," or some other expression of the true, broad scope of the organization. Since the list of officers and committees for this year was published in this column some few changes have occurred. Mr. Frederic S. Law, the Secretary and Treasurer, has removed from Philadelphia to Springfield, Mo., and has therefore resigned that double office. The Executive Com mittee has filled the vacancy by electing Mr. Edmund "Wolsieffer, of Philadelphia, a brother of the President. Another change is the appointment of Mr. Carl Maeder, of Pittsburg, as Chairman of the Specialist Committee on violin and string instruments. Mr. Phillip Dornbercer is Vice President for Allegheny county, and Mr. Joseph H. Gittings our member of the Programme Committee, either ot whom will, doubtless, be glad to receive membership subscriptions or give further information. Among the duties of officers as set forth in tbe constitution is this: "Section 9. To try to induce the editors of the local press to give more space to musical items, and the Vice Presidents shall send to the editors items and articles, original or selected that will tend to advance the appreciation of better music" The members of specialist committees have the same duties imposed upon them. This particular duty is here nrged upon the attention of all the Vice-Presidents and committee members in this and other west ern counties. The Dispatch has always been conducted, as far as possible, upon lines that "tend to advance the appreciation of better music." And now, as a member of the Specialist Committee on mnsical literature and'journalism, the writer feels an aaaitionai incentive to persevere in the same direction and to request ron the part of fellow-members, officers and committeemen of the P. S. M. T. A. snch co-operation as is above suggested. News items regardinc local musical happen ings ol any importance will always be wel comed, and contributed articles upon live musical topics will gladly be given as much space as can be, in justice to other matters claiming attention. Among recent accessions to the faculty of the National Conservatory of Music, in New York, are two names deserving of special mention. Miss Eieanor "Warner Everest, one of the principal teachers of singing possesses the proud distinction o! being tbe only pupil of Mme. Marches! to whom that famous teacher has given a written cer tificate of ability to teach her own method in a manner satisfactory to its originator. As the writer knows from private sources, Mme. Marchesi yet speaks of Miss Everest with confident enthusiasm as the best equipped teacher she has trained. The new principal of the vocal deDart- ment is Signor Bomualdo Sapio, who will be remembered as conductor for Madame Patti during her recent tour in the United States. He is a graduate of Palermo, Italy, where he received his musical education un der the direct tuition of the famous coun terpointist, Signor Pietro Platania. He spent the early part of his career in Milan, teaching singing in the Boyal Chapel of the Duomo, and in 1882 beean his theatrical career in Milan, as conductor, since which time he has successfully alternated teaching and conducting, his name having been con nected with important organizations both in Europe and America. It was he who con ducted the two South American tours of Patti in 1888 and 1689. " Mr. Edward Baxter Perry, in an admira ble article in this month's Etude, inveighs against the prevalent custom on the part of pianists both amateur and professional, of constantly attempting in public music too difficult for them to master completely. Jp one paragraph he says: " The manifold pernicious effects of such a coarse ere scarcely to be computed. The player is forced into habits of carelessness, inaccuracy and general unintelligibility, which, one acquired, it is well-nigh im possible to eradicate. Intellectual grasp and technical controlarc alike unattainable. Tbe performance is of necessity blurred, un musical, meaningless; and the average list ener, finding nothing comprchensile. still tleH enjoyable, in such renditions, is quick 'to conclude that the piano is a cold, dry, nntnteresting instrument, fit only to mark the rbrthm of a dance. The poor piano, from the most capable and versatile of solo Instruments, is degraded into a mere puppet- board for the exhibition, in tragic farces, of me mutilated caricatures oi great tnougbts and emotions." To the questioning student who wants to know how he is to tell whether his teacher is giving him pieces that are too difficult for him, Mr. Perry presents these pertinent ob servations: "You can at least notice the programmes being given throughout the country by leading artists; and if you find that you are allowed to study and play the same great compositions which form the tours de force of their repertoires, be sure that you are on the wrong track. You are perfectly safe in assuming that your few terms, or even years, of desultory study have not fitted you to grapple successfully with the Titans which tax to the uppermost the disciplined powers, and experience in attack, of veteran professionals, who have been all their Jives in the field. 2t even if you are the pupil of Prof. Prestissimo, who agrees to teach the piano in 12 lessons. .What do you think of a primary- school scholar, just able to pet creditably through with a lesson in the First Beader. who shonld be set to interpret Shakespeare for a company of adults? Or of a young miss, with just skill enough to paint daisies on a tea-set, which were recognizable without a label, who shonld undertake to cover a 32-foot canvas with a. -mn.1 tiictn.-;.. or battle "piece of lintorettorian magnitude? 1 .You would, not need to witness the effort, or I 1W 9 1 w e j tMK-a a u. mi '-jlhow ijiht it w it u i in i.'sh.mi irsj imi im ii .i .a tar i ,. j.am ... j ii f must be an utter farce,'. without even the doubtful merit of being funny. In like manner, wlien you are told that a girl of 11, who has studied tho piano for two years, is playing Chopin's "Ballade" in A Bat, the same good common sense should in form you that one of the two things must be true: either that she is!an extremely precoo ioui,phenomenally endowed genlus,a second Mozart, with decided moderm improvements, or that her teacher is a fool. And in most instances you are pretty safe in assuming that the latter is most probably the case, as fools are more plentiful than phenomena in the musical world." , Crotchets and Quavers. Vxxbi'S "Ottello" has been performed in a Swedish version at Stockholm. ErQEKE d' Albert will conduct the Phil harmonic concerts In Dresden this season. Alexander Gxjdvmant, the Parisian or ganist, has been giving organ recitals In Italy with great success. QEBALsmB Mobgax won considerable honors by a recent performance In Cologne of one of Spoor's concertos. The Sangerbund Festival to he held at Vienna in August, will gather together 900 singing societies, numbering 12,000 singers. Mabschkeb's opera, "The Vampire," and Mme. Ingeborg von Bronsart's opera, "Hiarne." are to be Included In tbe repertory of tbe Berlin Opera next iaIL Bach's "St Matthew" Passion muslo and Handel's "Maccabeus" are comparativeinovel ties to a Paris audience, and will both be given by tbe newly-founded society, "Grandes Audi tions de France, In Paris, at their next per formances. In London there are upward of 170 piano forte factories. Over 1,800 shops and factories in tbe metropolis are devoted to tbe supplying of musical goods ot all sorts. Throughout the provinces there aro about 3,000 mnsical estab lishments of various kinds. They possess in England no fewer tbanS7 newspapers dealing exclusively with music At tbe annual ban quet of tbe Society of Musical Instrument Manufacturers one of tbe speakers estimated that 90,000 piano-fortes are manufactured every year in London alone. The rehearsal for the Worcester Musical Festival will begin on September 22. Next day tbe first concert will be given, the programme consisting of Handel's "Israel In Egypt" and Niels Gade's cantata, "Tbe Erl King's Daught er." Among tbe other works set down lor performance are Schumann's symphony in E flat (No. 8). Gade's "Scotch's overture, Sullivan's ''Golden Legend," Palne's "Island Fantasy." selections from Wagner's operas. Beethoven's seventh symphony and Mendelssohn's "Elijah." Miss Mary Howe, Miss Clara Poole. Miss Clementine devere, Mr. Whitney Mockndge and Emit Fischer are on the list of soloists. Tbe conductor will be Mr. Carl Zerrahn, assisted by Mr. Victor Herbert. Mb. Jons S. Van clots, in a recent article, pays this tribute to the chorale: "A hymn is a very simple composition as to its form, melodio outline, and usually as to Its harmonization; in deed, tbe hymn as we know it, Is only a degen erate form of the German chorale, which Is tbe most perfect expression of the simply sublime known to musical art. In tbe chorale the whole mass ot tbe congregation, men and women, sing the melody, thus making it in broad, heavy tones at the distance of an octave; and against this mighty wave, this Immense eulf stream of human feeling, setting straight to- wara me inrone oi uoa. tne organ places me involved and noble harmonies.

In none taave they been more radical than in tbe treatment of diseases. In the olden time, patients, prostrate with pain and anfferlne, were attacked with the lancet, calomel, blisters, etc. All this was done with honest intentions, but with terrible results. It is a pleasing fact that tho enlightened public of the present day have discarded snch medication. The disorders tbat sap the powers of life are now expelled by remedioi that brace up the vital strentrtb. Tbese qualities are found In an eminent degree in Dr. Tutt's Liver Pills.

Don't you think; there is some foundation for this statement? In our opinion there are entirely TOO MANY CHIROPODISTS! If all shoes were made so as to fit perfectly there would be little de mand for their services. But as a large number of shoes do not fit at all, the chiropodist IJxrives and humanity suffers.
