THE MUSIC WORLD.
Uses and Abuses of Trogramme
Hooks at Important Concerts.

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

Hfief Jf,r,"ilc? t0 Mr- l'ghfs onslaught,
'that 6.000 of the seditious Boston Symphony

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

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.
