Uses and Abuses of Trogramme Hooks at Important Concerts. THE LATEST GOSSIP FR01I PARIS. Popularity of Classic Productions Shown at the Liposition. SEWS SOTES OP GENERAL IJiTEELSf That veteran musical writer, Mr. John S. Kwiglit, in. a lengthy article in the Boston Transcript, gives an instructive discussion ot" the uses and abuses (particularly the abuses; the discussion is rather one-sided) of the historical and descriptive notes com monly printed 'with the programmes or the Boston Symphony Orchestra and other im portant concerts. Mr. Dwight is especially exercised on behalf of those unfortunates who attempt to read the programme notes and listen to the music at the same time. Hear him: How strange It loots, and how absurd, to see a large part ol an audience listening. or trying to listen, to 13ccthoven or Jlendclssohn or Schumann, or some new er and more question able composer, witl: a printed sheet before them, their eyes glancing back and forth from book to orchestra. Iroiu orchestra to book, with anxious rapnlir. in the rain effort to compare and check oft all as it goes on, but failing to reallv hear and take It in, renounc ing, forfeiting." the very thing they came tor! ilusic ha- n certain electric quality of motion; it shoots Lj oat of hearing, out of observation, before vou are aware. Its wondrous message, borne .in the invisible wires of Its most subtle linhtning telegraph, is gone while ion search jour boon for a ciew to the first measure, the iirst phrase, first word. That is admirably put and is undeniaMy true withal. Elsewhere in his article Mr. Dwight says: What do people go to concerts for? To learn music technicallj. grammatically? To study musical form? If tliey have not already learned that elsewhere they cannot get it there. 2To technical analysis under heaven can help them riiht there on the spot, when they ought to be li-tening, absorbing the beauty of the music feeling its expression and its power, getting at firs: hand the impression and the spiritual meaning of it No. People go to con certs to enjoy cood music, not to criticise it, not to verily it by a prepared analysis. hat the common listener, what the lay men of the musical art require, is simply the impression, the delight, the feeling of its power and beauty, the edincaticn and uplifting w hich their spirits find in it; not its technical con struction, not how it conforms to or how it deviate! from the orthodox laws and types of form; not to pry into itt thorough-bass, or its peculiar instrumentation, or compare the course and outline of its progression with a map or diagram The best con dition for the true enjoyment of a symphonv, an oerture, a quartet, a concerto, is the com plete surrender of sense, soul and thought in the most simple and receptive attitude. This also is undeniably true, as far as it xocs. To that extent it is a truth worth driving home. Simple enjoyment of good music is certainly one of the purest and best of earthly experiences. And, in a large de cree, the simple enjoyment ot the very best music is within the capacity of almost every oivilized human being. Many good folk, however, debar themselves Irom the most ex quisite of the musical delights offered to them, by letting themselves be scared ofl, as it were, by the title or the composer's name. "Symphony Beethoven!" they mur mur, aghast. ".No, thank you, that's too 'classical' for me" and forthwith sink into a shell of apathv or antipathy that Orpheus himself could not penetrate. It is appalling to reflect upon the sum ol human bliss that has been forestalled by that forbiddingly misused word, that scarecrow to timorous music-lovers, "classical!" Iet all who would simply enjoy ponder Mr. Dwieht's words and lind that enjov ment, as they certainly csn, through "tfie complete surrender of sense, soul and thought in the most simple and receptive attitude." -. Intelligence and Enjoyment. But even enjoyment is a matter of degree. "While all may, if they will, enjoy the best music to a degree well worth the price of admission, there are indefinite possibilities bc'orc most of us in the way of elevating, refining and broadening this enjoyment. The gratification of sense and the uplifting of soulaie the joys that music holds out most 'freely to all; but the highest degrees of musical enjoyment are granted only to those who can also bring to bear the trained thought, the educated mind. .Not only the cultured sense and the receptive soul, but the trained intelligence as well, must be hrought into that "complete surrender," if the utmost enjoyment and appreciation are to be had. Then, too, it must not be forgotten that music is a serious branch of knowledge; a true science, as well as a pleasurable and beneficial art. It gives wide scope for purely intellectual study of real value. Just be cause most concert-goers seek only the en joyment of the moment, is no reason for banishing from the concert room the serious Muilents who mutt go there foi the very pur pase ol performing that same analytical dis secting, enjoyment-killing operation to which 3Ir. Dwiglu objects so trongly. Jlnsical intelligence is hat we need to de velop, both for its own sake and as the indis pensable mansto the truest musical enjoy ment. Here is the sjihere of usefulness for the musical library, to all who have the opportu nity and the time to delve into the rich mines of general musical literature. For the many who cannot themselves go to the original source of iniounation. the compiler oftue programme book performs a most important function. Particularly is this true in a community like ours where real intelligence upon musical topics has had small chance ot cultivation. With the soon-expected opening of the Karl Merz Musical Library and the promising out look in tlte way of musical lectures under the anspicesoi the .Mozart Club, the Art Society and the Academy nf Science and Art, there is cverv reason to expect a great awakening in this direction "The f isi .hcint fact." savs Mr. G. H. Wil son, the JT.nifHe.'iciitic and the commlerof the programme notes in question, in his very Hfief Jf,r,"ilc? t0 Mr- l'ghfs onslaught, 'that 6.000 of the seditious Boston Symphony programme books are eagerlj sought for and taken away from the Music Hall each week, is a great btnnulau to the industrious investi gator and purveyor' to continue to furnish the historical biographical and analytical notes which really seem to nil a want." ltight you are. Brother Wilson. And iust here in Pittsburg this same want, still unfilled is -f the utmost tearfulness and long.Jelt-ness! If he managers of our several choral and or chestral societies and of our general concerts want to be in touch with the progressive move ment now getting under way in this city, they must this season provide at their concerts pro gramme books calculated to appease the hun grily awakening musical intelligence of the community. . News JTroin Paris. In a persona! letter dated at Paris, October 5. Mr. William Danl Holmes, well remembered in Pittsburg's social and musical circles, re counts the musical gossip of the boulevards in the following easy, entertaining fashion: The musical season is about beginning here. T-asalle is back and is singing Ascario again. To-morrow night Madame Melba makes her rentree in "Hamlet" with, of course, Lasalle asifamlet. Had the directors, Ritt and Gall hard, not been such stingy, worthless fellows, we should bavea tenor this year. They allowed Jean de Iteszke to go and now Uossira has resigned. It lies between Vcrgnet and a debutant, Affrc, wno has a small, sweet voice, to sing for the rest of the season. The same venerable chctnut operas aie given right along "Favo nta," "Huguenots," Faust," etc-, with prom. Ue of a couple of new ones and revivals. "Sali-mirlio ' by Iteycr, is to appear next year, "higurd." by the same corapuser, is set down for revival this week, with Madame Rose Caron, who is an actress, but whose voice 1 de test. "I. Maga," by Massenet, is in rehearsal. I don't know what is to be produced at the Opera Comique. At present they are singing "La Basoche," a capital comic opera, and "Le Itoi L' Ys" by Lalo. a revival from last year, with Madame Deschamns-Jehin, who ib a mag nificent singer. The opera is a fine one and very melodious. The overture is a little louder than anything ever written. Lamaureux begins his concerts November 9 and (.olonne October 19. By the way, there is a pretty good chance of Lamaureux becoming one of the directors of the opera when Ritt & Gailhard go out next year. The other director may be PoreL at present director of the Odeon Theater. It would be a splendid team. Madam Marches! was telling Mrs. Holmes a tew days ago that while ebe tanght in Vienna she had at various times as her accompanists Nikiscfc and Beidl. She taught them both how to play song accompaniments. Rather a bit or news: Another accompanist was the present conductor (leading) of the Bayrouth opera. And that reminds me thatthe Bayreutb dates for next year are: "Tristan and Isolde," July 20. August 5 and 15: "Parsifal." July 19. 23, 26. 29, August 2. 6, 9, 12 and 16; "Tannhaeuser," July 22, 27. 30, August 3, 10, 13 and 18. Directors of music, Herman Levi, of Munich, and Felix MottL, of Carlsruhe. Singers not yet decided upon. We are awaiting with a great deal of interest the opening of the Theater Lyrique. formerly the Eden. Ot late vears it has not been suc cessful, but Verdhurt, last vear's fmnressarlo at Rouen, took a lease of it and is to give opera, beginning with this month. It is a very large theater and well adapted to opera. He has altered the auditorium materially. The premier is to be "Samson et Dalila.n by Saint Saens. with Talazac as Samson. Rather un fortunate that Talazac is only about 5 feet 8 inches high! I have forgotten the nahla. Thisopeia is to alternate with "La Jolie Fille de Perth," ny Bezit, until some new operas are ready. I wish it lots of success, for opera is so frightful here. The opera comique is more satisfactory than the grand opera. That is about all the musical news I happen to think of. except that Paderewskt. the pianist, hurt his leg recently while visiting the Duchess de something or another, and will be laid np some weeks. Lovo Tour Composer. Edward Baxter Perry, the pianist, recently wrote under the caption "Weaknesses of Great Pianists" the following bit of wisdom: An eminent master, who was authority in both, once said carelessly to a group of students, including the writer: "My dear young friends, nevei kiss a woman or play a composer whom you do not love. Believe me, there will be no more warmth in the one than in tho other, and you will wrong them both." Nearly all. even among the great artists, those possessing most breadth and versatility, arc subject to certain definite limitations of this kind, which it is never wieo for ihem to transgress. There will always be one or moro of the recognized masters of composition in whose work they do not glory; one or more of tho legitimate phases of musical thought and mood in which they cannot subjectively par ticipate. It is generally admitted, for instance. even among the most devoted admirers of that veteran lady pianist, Schumann, that she can not play Chopin, and when works by that master are announced for her performance it is mildly whispered in Frankfort that she has made "an unfortunate choice." Thus Von Bulow cannot play a pure lyric, een tolerably, though he excels in most lines of work and commauds, in addition, one which is beyond the reach of most players, and. some claim, even beyond the range of in strumental renditional together; I reier to the arch, the whimsical, what may be denominated the humorous in the music D'Albert, in spite of his tremendous pouer, breadth and speed, is, strango to say, so unsatisfactory as to be al most impotent in climatic effects: and De Pacbmann, though he has the most exquisite appreciation and control of the lyrics of Chopin, of the daintier, more tender and grace ful of his compositions, fails of the dramatic power of the larger works, and thus is falsely designated the greatest Chopin player of the age. The writer never heard but two pianists, Liszt and Ruuinstcin, who did not show very distinctly such restrictions in some direction. Many excellent concert performers are con fined to two or three styles which they play ex ceptionally well, while they are painfully weak in all others. A large proportion of amateurs have only one vein of composition which they are willing to recognize as music at all. most frequently the melodions and lyric thongh some reserve their approbation exclusively for the brilliant and others again like only the mournful and pathetic Tho Prodigy Question Again. "M. W." takes up nearly two more columns of tho New York Star with a learned rejoinder to Mr. Beveridge Webster's last article in this department of The Dispatch, on the dis puted question of whether prodigies are born or made In voluminous quotations, "M. W." i arrays Goethe's self and other writings acainst j his epigrammatic definition of genius as a "consummate anility tor nara worK. ana quite succeeds in proving wnat Mr. Webster never disputed that a genius, precocious or matured, has to be both born and made. It is pleasant in this connection to remark the wide interest and appreciation bestowed upon those articles that Mr. Webster volun tarily contributed to this column. Among many evidences maybe mentioned a letter re ceived from Dr. hngh A. Clark, the learned Chairman of the Programme Committee of the Pennsylvania State Music Teachers' Associa tlon, urging Mr. Webster to prepare an essay for the next annual meeting, and saying: "I read your articles with great pleasure. There is a pressing want for musicians who can write and speak fitting words about our art." It should also be stated that, as the writer has since learned, the letter printed two weeks ago from Mr. Albert Ross Parsons. ex-President of the National Association, complimenting this department of TnE Dispatcu, was written after perusal of several of Mr. Webster's articles, which doubt less had much to do with the favorable opinion thus kindly expressed. As far as practicable, this department will always be open to worth? contributions from anyone desiring to help along the cause of musical intelligence in our community. Such co-operation is ever grateful and welcome. The Exposition Music Musical Pittsburg marks with regret the closing of the Exposition and the consequent departure of Mr. F. N. Innes and his excellent military band. Mr. Innes has given a remarkable series of programmes. Standard symphonies, overtures and other important compositions have been liberally and judiciously interspersed; among the lighter and more "popular" pieces in such a way that all the programmes quite without excention. were np to a credit able artistic standard, while the Friday evening "Symphony programmes" were of a qnality not surpassed, it is believed, by the programmes of any similar organization in the country, in the main, the performance of the selections chosen was all that could reasonably be ex pected from a military band so continuously be fore the public day in and day out. Mr. Innes has earned the gratitude of Pitts burg, if for no other reason, simply for prov ing more conclusively than ever before thatthe most promiscuous kind of audiences under dis tinctly unfavorable conditions can be. at least, interested and entertained py fair perform ances of a grade of music commonly, but wrongly, supposed to be "over the beads of the people. ' It is a notable fact that the Innes Band, playing such programmes, formed the great, popular feature of the Exposition. Crotchets and Quavers. The Oakland Ideal Orchestra was entertained by the Misses Baird, of Craig street, last even ing. The Gerncrt Orchestra, with Mrs. J. Sharp McDonald and Mr. Charles F. Cooper as solo ists, will give the first of a promising series of concerts at the Linden Club, East End, to morrow evening. Mb. John A. Beil, tho capable organist of the First Presbyterian Church, is quite ill. His many friends will be grieved to learn that tvphoiu fever is threatened. Mr. Leonard Wales will officiate to-day at the old church. Reginald De Loven's new comic opera "Robin Hood," was warmly received on its recent production by the Bostonions at the Boston Music Hall. Score oue for the Ameri can composer, poor fellow. Lecocq's new operetta, 'L' Egyptlenne," is announced lor production in Paris. Two score operas thus announced in Paris last season, and not given. Mayhap this one score of Lecocq's will fare better. Tiieke is nojjikellbood of America's bearing Rubinstein again, in spite of the talk about a proposed tour at fabulous prices. Recent ad vices from the best-informed sources confirm the opinion already expressed in these col umns, that Rubinstein will never play in pub lic again. Miss Aones HUMTCNOTOir and her new opera "Paul Jones," by Planqnette got some adverse comment from the critics after the initial performance in New York a week or so ago. but the dear public quite indorsed the verdict of London, where that extraordinan run was had. Pittsburg will have a chance i judge for herself in January. The funniest thing about Tolstoi's "Kreni zer Sonata" is his choice of a composition from which to draw his title and his illustra tion of musical sensuonsness. However, this ridiculous blunder is responsible for the only good the book has accomplished. It has largely increased the sale they say, of one of the purest and most elevating compositions ex tant. The first Philharmonic concert of the season in Berlin was set for last Monday. Von Buelow conducts the wholo series. Teresa Carreno, Lilli Lehman, Eugene D'Albert, Stavenhagen and Paderewski are among the soloists listed. Among the novelties promised are Dvorak's Fourth Symphony, in E. Richard Strauss' symphonic poem, "Tod und Verklaerung," Kahn's new serenade and a rhapsodie by Brendsen. SIb. W". T. Best, of Liverpool, who is perhaps the greatest English organist of the day, was fittingly chosen to inaugurate the immense o-.gan in the Town Hall at Sydney. N. S. W. He has written to Mr. Clarence Eddy, saying lie would sail from Australia for San h rancisco October L and that be hopes to be able tu try some American organs on his way hack to En gland. It would be a fine scheme to get such a man as Mr. Best lor a recital in Carnegie Hall some day soon. Mme. Teresa Cakrejo, the Venezuelan pianist, well remembered In Pittsburg, is en joying an extraordinary vogue In Europe. She is engaged for Von Bnelow's concerts, both in Berlin and Hamburg; for a Leipzig Gewand haus concert under Reineckl. for a Gnerzenich concert at Cologne under Wuellner. and for countless lesser occasions. Some American women can play the piano, it seems, as well as the rest of them sing according to European taste. The New York Philharmonic Club comes next Friday to open the "Carnegie Course" at the hall thus named In Allegheny. This club has long been tho leading institution of its class in IN ew York. Mr. Richard Arnold, the first violinist, and Mr. Eugene Weiner, the flautist, may be singled out as players of wide reputation. Messrs. S. Laender. violin: F. Hemmann. viola; C. Hemmann, 'cello, and Ausrust Kalkhoff, contrabass, complete the club's roster. The Art Society gives its first reception of the season to-morrow evening. This will also be the first meeting of that august society in its new home in the Academy of Science and Art building. Mr. Ethelbert Kevin will give an informal lectnre, with pianlstic accessories, upon "Parsifal." tho last of the great music dramas by the Titan, Richard Wagner. More than usual interest attaches to this recention and a largo attendance of members and guests may be looked for. Last Saturday night witnessed the opening ot Manager Hammetstein's promising scheme for permanent English opera at the Harlem Opera House. New York. He has secured such capable principals as Miss Charlotte Walker. Miss Clara Poole. Messrs. Montesrnffo, Tagliapietra and W. H. Clark, but the ensem ble is ihe strong point, not stars. Gustav Hin richs' skillful and artistic direction will assure the quality of the performances. It is a good scheme; cheap, permanent opera in the vernac ular is what this country needs badly, Mb. THEODpRE Thomas, with hisNew York Philharmonic;' Society, announces an Inviting programme for this season. The first concert will be on November 15, when a new Suite by Moszkowski (op. 47) will be heard, and when Franz Hummel, tho eminent pianist, will make bis first appearance in America after a long absence, playing the "Emperor" concerto of Beethoven. At the second concert a new over ture by Goldmark ("Prometheus." op. 38) will be presented, and Miss Clementina De Vere 'will sing. Mme. Camilla Urso will be the soloist of the third concert, playing a new violin concerto by Joachim. By the way, what has become of Chicago's plan for a new sym phony orchestra under Thomas' baton? The American Composers' Choral Associa tion, of New York, proposes good service in the nationalistic movement. It seems to be a strong organizati on, backed by prominent citi zens, and has Mr. Emllio Acramonto for musical director. At the first concert this season, No vember 24. Pittsburg will be represented in three compositions by Mr. Ad. M. Foerster. "Spring's Verdure" and "The Bedouin's Prayer" for male and female choruses re spectivelyand "June Song." for mixed chorus a cappella. Messrs. Chadwick, Hawley, Phelps. MacDowell, Walter and Foote ate the other American composers that figure on this programme. In the recent death of Ludwlg Deppe, tne well-known piano teacher and late conductor of the Berlin Opera, an unique personality has vanished from tho musical world. Readers of Miss Amy Fay's clever, but unreliable "Music Study in Germany," will remember her en thusiasm over Dcppe's peculiar methods. But both Miss Fay and Mrs. Anna Steinlger-Clark who once figured as Deppe's representative pupil have long since got bravely over it. Mr. Frederic Clark and his gifted wife had pub licly opened war on their former master's method before they left Berlin, about five years ago. You are in error this time, Mr. "Racon teur." Mr. Asoee Hajikiuk writes very interest ingly in the Baltlmoro Sun about the recent competition for the Rubinstein scholarship at St. Petersburg. Ferrnclo Busoni, Italian, won first prize in composition, and would have been rated first in piano playing, many think, had not patriotic considerations moved the jury to bestow that honor upon a young Russian, Nich olas Dnbassoff. Speaking or the contestants. Mr. Hamerik says: "Remember, every player is an artist of no small merit, and that criticism, if anv. must be given with the remembrance of the musical conception of a Liszt or a Rubin stein. Of course, execution is out of the ques tion. The prize is for the man of genius, the man of heart, inspiration and holy fire. Yonng playing America, take note of this." Miss Maet Howe is a young and comely woman just winning a high place on the con cert stage along the seaboard. After studying with Charles R. Adams and Siegfried Bebrens, she took a two-years' course at tho Dresden conservatory, at the close of which she filled a very successful engagement in Italian opera at Kroll's Theater, Berlin. After a rummer at home and a successful debut at the Worcester Festival of 1SSS, Miss Howe went to Paris and "finished" under Mme. Marcbesl. Since her return early in the present year she has been heard at a number of important concerts, win ning high praise from the public and the best critics. This is a "tip" for some one of Pitts burg's enterprising managers. Mr. Ethelueut Kevin's pianoforte re cital, to be given with the assistance of Mrs. Walter C. Wyman at the Pittsburg Club Theater on Tuesday evening, is one of the prime events of the week. Mr. Mevln's per sonality, playing and compositions are all well known and admired in this, his native city. This will be his first and only public appear ance here in a long time; Boston is a long" way off. Mrs. Wyman is the mezzo-soprano who has sprung into fame during tho past two years since she finished ner studies with Mme. Marcbesl, in Paris, with greater rapidity than has any singer of the day, unless it bo Mile de Vere. The first appearance in Pittsbnrg of a singer who is engaged months ahead for the concerts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Kneisel Quartet, the Philhar monic societies of New York and Brooklyn and other such occasions, is an event worth noting. Mr. Nevin's repetition (at Mrs. C. L. Magee's Oakland residence on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings of this week) of the series of "Nibeluugen" talks, with piano forte illustrations, is not to be forgotten. Great interest was aroused in Allegheny bv the same series given last week at Carnegie Hall and at Mrs. W. L. McClmtock's residonce Do Tou Know the Reason "Why "The Rustic" has become so popular with the best class of business men?

OClS-WTSU I CURE CONSUMPTION And That, Too, by the Administration of But Very Little Medicine The Inhalation of Medicated Sprays by Pneumatic Cabinet Nowthe Recognized Method of Treatment. In the first stage of consumption or early part of the second stage, during the breaking down process, but belore cavities have actually formed, I can arrest and enre the disease in every case where I can get the entire co-operation of the patient. Even in the latter part of the second or early part of the third and Inst stage, when cavities exist, the distressing symptoms can be relieved and life prolonged with comparative comfort. Wm, C. Byers, M. J., JVo. ill Penn Ave., Note, Throat and Lung Specialist, Since the Tuberculosus Congress decided that consumption is due to tbe presence of the tuberclo bacillus the pneumatic cabinet treat ment has become the recognized mode of treat ment among all progressive and wideawake physicians. The success I have had with this method of treatment during the past three years is simply marvelous. 1 here are scores of people walking the streets of Pittsburg to-day who owe their lives to it, and will cheerfully testify to the fact. Many of them never swal lowed a mouthful of medicine duringthe whole course of treatment, which makes their re covery still more marvelous. By the cabinet treatment antiseptic or germ-destroying sprays are brought into direct contact with tbe lung tissue, cleansing and applying medicine im mediately to the diseased parts. The treat ments are not at all unpleasant or hurtful to the weakest patients. I often put my little daughter in the cabinet to strengthen and de velop ber lungs, as she has had pneumonia twice. On account of the great cost of the cabinet (5500), and time consumed in treatment, from one-half to one hour, I charge $1 for each in halation, or S per week for dally inhalations, which are often necessary In very bad cases. I have the only cabinet and fully equipped in. halarium in the city. CATAEBH TEEATMENT 55 A MONTH. I continue to treat catarrh by the Besaler spray method and the aplication and ad ministration of such medicines as each case indicates, for So a month. Bear this fact in mind, catarrh can only be thoroughly eradi cated by combined local and internal treat ment, and thoso trying any other course are simply wasting their time and money and jeopardizing their heilth and even lives. For out-of-town patients I have devised a system of borne treatment, combining both local and in ternal medication. Write for symptom blank. DR. BIERS, office and inhalarium 421 Penn ave..
