2Cot much need be added to what was
said last week as to the artistic importance
of the concerts to be jriveu Thursday and
.Friday evenincs of this week, at Old City

Symphony Orchestra. Both of these organ,

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.

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

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

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.

Twenty Years of Suffering,
During Which Time Numerous Physicians
Were Consulted, Sut Without Avail, TIM
Dr. Byers' Services Were Sought, Prompt
and Permanent Relief the Result
"Can yon realize what It Is to suffer for 20
lone weary years, never knowing a comfortable
day, and ttien be snddenly freed from all the
agonizing pains and restored to perfect
health t" says Mrs. Cherry; "If so, yon can
imagine my feedings at .the present time and
the debt of gratitude I owe to Dr. Byers, wbo
bas worked tbis great cbange in me. My
trouble first started with tbe coma on symp
toms of catarrh, pain over the eyes, roaring in
the ears, stoppage of the nostrils, etc.. buttbese
in time gave way to an "Intense dryness of tbe
tbroat. mouth and tongue and severe neuralgic
neaaacnes, wnicn almost arove me crazy.
When these pains were specially severe I could
scarcely walk without falling over, and they
were always followed by periods of drowsi
ness. Mrs. J.anetle Cherry, McKeesport.
"In time my stomach and heart became
affected. Though my appetite was good, I had
pain and distress after eating, with bloating,
rifting and palpitation. During all this long
fierlod I consulted doctor after doctor, with
ittle or no relief, until I was directed to Dr.
Bvers. I felt Immediate relief front his first
treatment, and now after five mouths' continu
ous treatmont can say 1 feel better than I haro
for 25 years. I will cheerfully verify this to
any one who Will call upon me at my home,
at the end ot street car line, subnrot or Mc
Keesport, wbere I have lied for 3l years."
Since first publishing the above-testimonial
in the Sunday Leador Mrs. CUerry called at my
office with her son to place him under treat
ment, and said 1 did not make it half strong
enongb, as no one could understand tbe suffer
ing she bad endured for years, and that she
told everyone this wbo called on her. No one
can, therefore, accuse mo with exaggerating
the symptoms of those cases published as enred
by my method of treatment,
