Both of these organ, izutions ate examples of the axiomatic truth that a permanent body continuously engaged in ttadymi Inch class compositions can arbici e results In conceited music otherwise ituiKifcsible. Workins upon tins principle, then, it is perfectly natural that the Mozart Club should tie. as it is. the best chorus l'lttsourp; has produced ami that the Boston Sjmpbony Orctcstra. should be the best orchestra that tins country has produced, which is the fact. ith worthv soloists to assist and an ex- Mr. Jfikisch. ceptionallv fine selection of compositions to. be riven, it would he strange should these con certs be second in artistic importance to any others whatever, which they are not. The tine expressive face of Mr. Arthur Nikisch will be recognized this morning by hundreds whoso hearty applause caused it to he turned towards them in acknowledgement at last season's concerts by the same organiza tions. Like Mr Seidl, he is a native ot Hun eary. He was born in 1S55 and soon became a prodigy pianist, but recovered, in the course ot his studies at the Vienna Conservatory, suffi ciently to carry off the three first prizes. After gaining experience as an orchestral violinist, he became in 1578 conductor of too opera at Leipzig, r. here he made a name tor himself and won the hand of one of the prominent sopranos of that opera, whose engacing personality is also depicted this morning. The two seasons during which Mr. Nikisch has had charge of the superbly-drilled force left by Mr. Gericke have demonstrated the wisdom of his selection for that arduous and Influential position. A Rich BUI of Fare. Thursday cveninc's programme is wholly en trusted to the orchestra and Mrs. Nikisch. The latter will sing tne two lovely numbers as signed to Chtrubmo, the page, in Mozart's "Marriage or Fizaro," together with a choice croup of songs (with pianoforte) by Goldmark, Gade and Delibes. Tie admirable orchestral programme becics with Schumann's B flat Sjmphony, of which more below, and contains also the andantino and scherzo from the fourth Brmphony (In F minor) by Peter Tscnaikow kl,the acknowledged leader of the young Rus sian school, whose impending visit to America has occasioned much talk about the man and lends additional interest to his works. -s-E3i K C??SSfSf'Tt '.j S&.-WKfcsJWC' f. i fesssBwrT- g&sr,mi!m I.JTVB YJS-tfSLrsl?vKJl"' u4 ".StwarTT5" '' ttsi- ,gS.

There is also the wild, wierd SjmphonicPoem, named "Danso Macabre" (well known inpian lstic guisel by Camille Saint-Saens, most learned and most original of living French composers, lo close with are two Wagner numbers. First, the Waldictbrn. from "feicg Jned." an adautation of the idyllic scene in winch the joung hero or the Nibelung Tetralogy heirs amid the murmuring leaves the song of the wood-bird from which he flnallv learns the secret of his birth and destiny. The second Wagner number is the "Meistersinger" prelude, with its charac teristic picture of festive burgher life in six teenth century Nuremberg and its significant portraval of the triumph of unfettered, progressive art ideals (represented by the well known theme of Walts ' pr.ze song) over the stilted conventional forms m which the pomp on mastei hingers were Tain to snackle them. The sjmphony claims more attention, though necessarily brief. It is the earliest of Schu mann's four published symphonies, preceding by only a few months, however, the one in 1) minor (given here by the same orchestra last ear) which is numbered fourth, because pub lished much later. It was first played at the Leipzig Gewandhaus, under Mendelssohn, on March 31, 1841, probably but little after its com position. Schumann's previous works had c-ii5n;ted of pianoforte pieces and songs, ' that this was ins first important work for orchestra, for which he snb-equently wrote so much and so successfully. It was writ. en on the eve of his long-delajcd mar riage, and when be had at last gained an as sured footing among recognized composers and musical authorities. The symphony fully re flects this state ot happiness and hope; it Is known that he originally and very appro priately called it a "Spring Symphony." It is notable for us tunefulness and fluency, and as well for the novelty of its material as for the close and masterly manner in which it is treated. The first movement is full of brilliant thoughts and haipy strokes of harmony, and there are few thinjs in music of more elevating effect than the climax near the end, where a new and loveiv phrase is given in simple ha ronny, Ilist bv the strings and then by Hie full orchestra, with all the air of a hvmn of thanksgiving and happi ness. Tho two trios to the scherzo is an innovation upon established formB that has found imitators since, and the passage finally Closing this movement is both perfectly origi nal and of charming effect. The striking treat ment of the tromoone passage in the second portion of the finale produces a solemn re ligious effect not easily rorgotten. Indeed, the whole work, with all its brightness, is full of that earnestness and serious individuality which are amon; ng fcchumann's most marked characteristic. Friday I-iriiingV Choral F.-ast. The second concert is devoted chiefly to Verdi's great 'Manzoni Iteqaiein," but there i a very interesting Instrumental preface in tho shape of Lizl's elaborate Symphonic Poem. "Taf6o; Limentation and Triumph" (socend of the wsries of twi ve: this one having ft 'riv1 its theme clearly indicated by the title), to gether with a pair of violin pieces by Syendsen ana Sarasate, played by Mr. Franz Kneisel, concertmaster of the orchestra and one of the truest artists the country possesses. The Mo zart Club Chorus (Mr. James P. McCollum conductinc), will be assisted In the Eequiem by the orchestra, of course, and al-o by these eminent soloists: Mrs. Genevra John-stone-Bishop. soprano: Miss Lena Little, con tralto; Mr. Paul Zimmerman, tenor, and Dr. Carl Martin, bass. After the prclnninary'his toryof Verdi's work, given last Sunday, the following extracts from the review written by Dr. Ferdinand Hiller (a German, bnt of very conservative attitude, to say the least, toward the modern Teutonic tendencies exemplified in Wagner) sooj after the Beqnieu was first heard, will be found particularly interesting: -This work (first performed on the lMof May, 1871), which the popular composer of 'II Trovatore' wrote for the anniversary of the death of Allessandro Manzjni. has, since its reduction, cieateda deep sensation in Pans, indonand Vienna, where it has been re peatedly given under Verdi's own direction. The acquaintance formed with the work (cer tainly the most important Verdi has written) by means of the pianoforte arrangement has proved one of the most interesting and agree able which for a long time we have had an opportunity of making in tho domain of high class vocal music. "Artless as'the melodies of this composition appear, and natural as. taking the worlr as a whole, is the course of the harmony, 1 should be puzzled to name anyproduction from which we miehl obtain a notion of its peculiarity. With Rossini's 'Stabat Mater,' the brilliant qualities of which every impartial musician must allow, Verdu's 'Requiem' has only the must genoral features of Italian melodies in common; as regards tone, expression, and especially breadth of plan, originality of form, and tho treatment of the chorus ana solo voices, it Btands upon totally different ground. It is probably the hrstoccasion that in a composition with a relig ious text (the 'Requiem' cannot be called a sacred composition) whatever good has been achieved in modern times has been so fully and so brilliantly employed. We have perfect freedom ot construction, though the architec tonic lines never disappear: luxuriautly, devel oped periods, without wearisome dwelling on or dragging out particular details; the most inurougn ana unrcsinctea use. wimuut iu. i ---- ; ..-fta z -, -,,k abase of modern technics; and characteristic! from another. I have i no 'PJdicej on the ub declamation. without nervously pedantic sub- T Ject. All I can say is that I knojv-what I llke- servience to every syllable. inougn tne composer lias mvariamy aimeu at dramatic expression, and though the latter is perhaps here and there carried to a point lying beyond the line which refined taste might dt siro to see respected in such a work, we cannot say that the 'Requiem' is theatrical in a bad sense of the. word. "The pianoforte arrangement, moreover, does not leave us in doubt as to the fact of Verdi's making the very best use of his orches tra; of the 'Requiem's' not being deficient in modern, piquant, unusual and original instru mental effects. Bnt just as little are we left in uncertainty on another point, namely, that, above all things, the Italian master puts into the mouths of his singers what be has to say and what he knows how to say. His singers sing; they are souls of tune no mon grel beings, crosses between musical in terlocutors and unmusical interlocutors, obliged to be on their guard atrainst encroach ing n the province of horn or viola. They come forward with all the magnificence inherent in that divine organ, the human voice. It is true that Verdi requires singers in the fullest ac ceptation of the word not voices without training; not vituosos without voice; norde claimers without one and the other and this is the most delightful thing in the work." Lectures From a Famous Critic The time-honored Art Society seems deter mined this year to surpass in each department its record of past activity. Close upon the Reinhart reception and exhibition, which was, perhaps, the most notable thing the society has done along the line of pictorial art, comes the annonncement of the two lectures to be given by Mr. H. E. Krehbiel at the society's rooms. Academy of Science and Art building. Monday and Tuesday evenings, April 27 and 23, which promise to be of equal prominence ou the musi cal side of the Art Societj's broad field. Mr. Krehbiel. through his criticisms in the New York Tribune, his essays in the leading magazines, his authorship of many programme handbooks for festivals or large concerts, and his annual volume reviewing the New York musical season, has achieved an international reputation as the country's foremost musical critic and litterateur. Indeed, not a little of bis writing has been deemed worthy of taking a permanent place in the critical department of li'nglisti literature. His many musical lectures in New York and in Boston nave been recognized as important features of the past few seasons, as well by serious musicians as by the host of fashion able dilletanti. Such prominent artists as, for example, Mr. Anton Seidl, the great conductor (who is to be the musical head ot the Pittsburg JUT Festival of 1SU1, as he was in 1SS9). have willingly appeared as illustrators of Mr. Kreh biel's lectures. For the Art Society receptions (tn one hun dred and sixty-fifth and one hundred ana sixty -sixth) these are the lectures selected: Mon day, "Origin and Nature of the Lyric Drama," wittkiliustrations by Miss Bertha Kaderly, so prano; Mr. Harry B. Brockett, Jr., tenor, and Mr, Carl Retter, accompanist: Tuesday, "Rich ard Wagner and His Art Work," with piano forte illustrations by Mr. Carl Retter. A Talk for the General Pnbllc. An opportunity for the general pubic to hear Mr. Krehbiel which the Art Society is at present unable to offer has been arranged by Mr. Better, with the especial object of afford ing to Intending May Festival auditors a clearer view of the scope and meaning of the dramatic music of Wagner and other composels, which form so important a part of the programmes. Mr. Krehbiel will give a third lecture, with illustrations by Mr. Retter and by Mr. Joseph H. Gittings, on Wednesday evening, at Old City Hall, the Mozart Club having courteously altered its final rehearsal evemngeo as to leave the hall free for this excellent Dublic use. i Members of the May Festival and Mozart Club cnoruses win he admitted tree; all others who wish may attend for a small admission fee, charged simply to defray expenses. This third lecture, complete in itself, will tollow along tho lines laid out in the two former ones, giving more de'ailed attention to certain of Wagner's works o stably "Die Meister singer," the master's single comedy opcrjand the one ot his liter works best adapted to pop ular exposition. , That Mr. Krehbiel is a particularly Interest ing and capable expounder of Wagner's princi ples may be readily Inferred from the fact that no less a musical personage than Mr. William Steinnay, introducing him as one of the princi pal speakers at the recent Seidl-Stanton dinner in New York, said, substantially, that "Mr. Krehbiel has done as much as any man living to bring about a general anpreciallon of Richard Wagner and his art work." .. Mr. Sousa and His Band. This crowded musical week will have a rous ing finale in the concerts to be given Saturday afternoon and evening, at Old City Hall, by the United States Marine Band, under the baton of Mr. John Philip Sousa, and with the vocal assistance of Miss Mane Decca, the bril liant soprano, and of a chorus of S00 school children, drilled by Mr. E. E. Rinehart. Much lias alrnadv been said in this column of the history and standing of Uncle Sam's fore most official musical organization. Miss Decca's status, buth artistic and social, has also been adverted to. It only remains to say uai tne concerts promise to ue exceedingly successful from the box-office standpoint, and that all who attend will beyond a doubt look back upon time and money well spent, Tastes of the Prince of Wales. This musical gossip came across under the ocean from London last night: The Queen, being delighted with the com forts that Grassc affords, the Prince of Wales .has to attend the social duties of Her Majesty. Among the engagements he had ill ed on for himself was an interesting event on Monday last. It was the smoking concert of the royal Amateur Orchestral Society, of which Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales are the most distinguished patrons. The Royal Amateur Orchestral Society is considered the finest body of amateur musicians in London. The Duke of Edinburg is tho leader of the first violins. The Prince of Wales take a strong lnierest in the society, alw ays arranges the dates of its performances himself and attends all of them, besides con sulting the Society's able conductor, Mr. George Mount, as to the main features of the programmes. Incidentally it may be mentioned that be Prince of Wales' musical tastes have a decided leaning toward Wagnerism. The company present included the Duke of Cam bridge, the Duke of Teck, the Earl of Latham. Sir Arthur Sullivan, Sir Frederick Leighton and other well-known faces. Henry Irving will recite the farewell ad dress at a meeting in London May II, when Sims Reeves, the popular tenor singer, will make his last appearance on the stage. Mr. Reeves, who is nearly 70 years old, will there after devote himself to teaching singing. A Musical Year Book. Mr. George H. Wilson, the well-known critic of tMe Boston Traveller and author of the Sym phony Programme Books, makes the following annonncement about his ever welcome and per manently valuable "Musical Year Book of the United States:" . "The new Year Book will be similar in plan to tho last. It will contain abont ISO pages. displaying the happenings in the larger cnies of the United States and Canada, local events being classified. Its special features will include table of new corn portions, by native writers; table of first per formances in the United States, and another embracing the world, of more important works; table of published American works (larger forms); table of standard choral works per formed in the United States, with names Of soloists, and a full Index of titles. The only critical feature of the now year book will be a retrospect." Items of-Local Interest. Among lesser local happenings may be noted these items: Tho Frohsinn Singing Society held an inter esting and successful children's concert, with social accessories, at the club rooms last Tues day evening. The annual concert of the Wheeling orches tra will be given to-morrow (Monday) evening; as nsual drawing upon Pittsburg for extra in struments. Messrs. John Gernerr, Carl Nub ser, C. F. Cooper, C. B. WeK Louis Zitterbart and Otto Ganske are our instrumental repre sentatives this year, while Miss Agnes Vogel will uphold our reputation for vocal art. Miss Grace Miller, the well known and gifted young soprano, being about to go to Germany for a year's finishing touches, her friends have very justifiably arranged a benefit concert for her. It will occur on May 7 at Old City Hall, and with these per formers, among others not yet made known: Mr. Theodor Salmon, Miss Blanche Newcombe, Mr. E. H. Dormitt, a string quar, tet (Messrs. J. T. Irwin, Charles Matthews James Adair nd Harry Hetzel), and the chorus of the Allegheny Musical Association, under Conductor W. A. Lafferty. It Is a worthy cause and a promimng occasion. The "Art Musicale"met on Thursday evening last at the residence of Mr. Theodor Salmon, anc gavo one of the choicest programmes of the season. They had vocal selections by Miss Bertha Kaderly. Mm Margaret Crouch, Mrs. Mary R. Scott, Mr. F. J. Bussman, Mr. E. B. Edwards and Mr. Ross Drum; violin solos by Miss Blanche Newcombe, and pianoforte num bers by Miss Enola Lewis. Miss Lilian Smith, Miss Clara Oehmler and Mr. Theodor Salmon. .. A Talk From IngersolL It is pleasant to have space to-day for some excerpts from the singularly intelligent and eloquent musical address made by Robert Ingersoll, Esq., at the Seidl-Stanton dinner, already alluded to. Mr. Iugersoll's remarks, which are especially timely for local readers just now, were in part as follows: It is probable that I was selected to speak about music because, not knowing one note and. to-tell the truth, I like every kind enjoy it all from the hand organ to tne orcnestra. Knowing nothing of the science of music, I am not always looking for defects or listening for discords. As the young robin cheerfully swal lows what comes, I hear with gladness all that is plaved. Music expresses reeling and thought without language. It was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words. Before man found a name for any thought or thing, he had bopesnd fears and passions, and these were rudely expressed in tones. Language is not suble enough, tender enough, to express all that we feel, and when language fails, the highest and deepest longings are translated into music Mnsic is the sunshine, the climate of the soul, and it floods the heart with a perfect June. When I read Shakespeare I am astonished that he has expressed so much with common words to which be seems to give new meaning; and so when I hear Wagner I exclaim: Is it possible that all this is done with common airl Wagner is the Shakespeare of mnsic The funeral march for "Siegfried" is the funeral music for all tho dead. Should all the gods die, this musio would be perfectly appropriate. It is elemental, universal, eternal. The love music in "Tristan and Isolde" Is, like "Romeo and Juliet," as expression of the human heart for all time. So the love duet in "The Flying Dutchman" has in it the consecration, the in finite self-denial of love The whole heart is given every note has wings, and rises and poises like au eagle in the heaven of sound. Great music is always sad because it tells us of the perfect, and such is the difference be tween what we are and that which music sug gests that even In the vale ofjoy we find some tears. The mnsic of Wagner has color, and when I hear the violins the morning seems to slowly come. A horn puts the star above the horizon. The night, in the purple hum of the bass, wanders away like some enormons bee across wide fields of dead clover. The light grows whiter as the violins increase. Color comes from the other Instruments, and then the full orchestra floods the world with day. Wagner seems not only to have given us new tones, new combinations, but the moment tho orchestra begins to play his music all the instru ments are transfigured. They seem to ntter the sounds that they have been longing to ut ter. The horns run nor, the drums and cym bals join in the general jov. The old bass viols are alive with passion. The 'cellos throb with love, the violins are seized with a divine fury, and the notes rush out eager for the air, as pardoned prisoners for the roads and fields. The music of Wagner is filled with land scapes. There are some strains Hire midnight, thick with constellations, and there are harmo nies like islands in the far seas, and others like nalms on the desert's edge His music satisfies the heart and brain. It is not only for mem ory not only lor tho present but for proph ecy. Wagner was a scnlptor. a painter, in sound. When ho died the greatest fountain of melody that ever enchanted the world ceased, but bis music will instruct and refine forever. All that I know about the operas of Wagner I have learned from Anton Seidl. and I believe that he is the noblest, tenderest and most artistic Interpreter of Wagner that has over lived. Tlie Miller Grand in Minneapolis. On April i, Mr. Hermann Emil Zoch gave a concert at Century Music Hall, Minneap olis, and played the following programme: Vong Without Words.
