QUALITIES OP THE OEGAUIZEE. A Mistake Often Made in Kegard to the De sirability of Classical Productions. Louis Globe-Democrat illustrates the loose way in which so many people come to the conclusion that they do not like what they call "classical" music by which they simply mean musjc of high artistio quality. If the same circle of friends had heard an other daughter of the rererend gentleman first attempt to recite Mark Antony' ad dress from "Julius Cressx" and then speak some pretty little piece from her school reader, they would no doubt have liked the latter better. But they would never have blamed either Shakespeare or themselves for their not enjoying Antony' t speech. Nothing is more common than for a per former to fail to bring out the soul of a com position and to make it nothing but a dis play of skillful execution.

I Bodpet of Gtceral Kews That Will Interest All Lorrrs of tie Art Dirine. In considering the proposed plan for es tablishing a permanent symphony orchestra in Pittsburg, the personal qualifications of the man who is to organize and direct the entertainment form a vital element. It is not surprising that the question has been public raised whether Jlr. Homer iloore possesses the necessary qualifications for the work in hand. This, especially in view of the fact, frantly stated in the original announcement in this de partment, that Mr. Moore's actual experi ence as an orchestral leader has been rather limited. If we now posseseda symphonyorchestra firmly established upon a basis of public ap preciation and of ample financial backing, and were seeking a conductor for it, we could doubtless find men more certain to fill the requirements of that position than the pentleman named. But that is notour case. 'e are trying to make a beginning cs best we may, without assured patronage and with nosuch financial backing as the orches tras of Boston, Chicago and Kew York are started ith. AVe have to cut our coat ac cording to our cloth. In the conductor's qualifications, as well as in all other parts of the plan, Pittsburg's present situation has to be taken into ac count. The present programmes of the 48 Boston Symphony concerts and public re- Jiearsals would not be appropriate here at first; much more would a conductor like Mr. Nikisch be a white elephant on our hands at the inception of the plan proposed. The Experience of Boston. Indeed, when Mr. Higginson started tha Boston oichestra, though he gave pecuniary Support not dreamed of here, he did not ceek a famous European conductor. He en gaged Mr. Gcrg Henschel, an eminent baritone singer, a man of brains and energy, a clet er composer, but who had no repute whatever as a conductor. The parallel be tween Henschel and Moore in these points is indeed a striking one. Mr. Moore has stood at the conductor's stand often enouch to be convinced that sach work is within his capabilities. His ambition is turned in that direction ftronglv enough to cause him to sway aside from "his ery successful past career lis singer, lecturer and teacher in order to put into execution this orchestral plan which he himself conceived He thereby cuts down his income by one-half for tha present, and stakes his "artistio reputation (which is his most valuable aset) upon His ability to succeed in the new field. Should he fail no no would lose anything like as much as he would. If testimony against one's interest 1b worth as much at the bar of public opinion as in courts of law, Mr. Moore's own will ingness to undertake this enterprise is very ttronc: prima lacie proof that he can really do the a ork. That is, even the work of conducting the orchestra. There is much other work to be iane for which Mr. Moore's qualifications are undoubted. He organized the plan him eelf (mark that) ! and is therefore likely to carry out all its details with peculiar intel ligence, and to throw into it ids entire per ronality as one does only into an enterprise! of one's very own. Already Gone to TVorlc He is ready to undertake personally in fact has already begun the difficult task of Interesting the moneyed men, without whose liberal support nothing further can be done. And he is ready for all the other work incident to tetting such an enterprise afoot under con itionsns to players, etc., not by any means the best. No one else has arisen, nor could en orchestral conductor of established re pute as such be induced, to undertake thus the very inception and organizing of the enterprise. Yet this very work is the first indispensable element under our conditions. Mr. Moore's original scheme for the pro grammes peculiarly answers our present needs much better, indeed, than would the programmes of Mr. Nikish cr Mr. Thomas. And in those programmes he pro poses to do more than other conductors could or would. He will give briet popu lar talks about the composer, the work to "be given, its interpretation, etc., and his proven abilities as a writer and lecturer will unquestionably make these talks a feat ure ol the utmost value in both the tttractiveness and the usefulness of the concerts. Mr. Moore will also sing in as many concerts as may be desirable; the value of that feature may be ascertained from anyone who (like the writer) wit nessed the profound impression produced by his singing of Gounod's "Green Hill" at Bellefield Presbyterian Church some weeks ago. rocnliarly Tltted for the Task. In all these things, the ones peculiarly adapted to Pittsburg's present needs and the ones that must necessarily come at the very beginning of the plan, Mr. Moore's abilities ore unquestioned, and, in their combination, truly remarkable. He has be yond peradventure the qualifications requi site to getting this superb project fairly on its feet if anyone can do it. And even if it should eventually appear, contrary to all reasonable expectation, that he had "not enough ability as an orchestral conductor, there can be no doubt whatever that he Mould be the first to find some excuse for severing a connection that would then be more disastrous to his own reputation than to any other interest concerned. In sober verity, it is Mr. Moore's remark able range of qualifications for the peculiar work we need right now, that makes this project seem practicable enough to warrant each extended consideration. It leaves as the only present question: "Will our moneyed men see what a rare opportunity is here aud, seeing, act accordingly? The Performer at Fanlt. Classical music real classical music, no half-and-half aflair was the subject which was being discussed by a number of gentle men in the coiridor of the Southern last night. The point was whether, if Gllmore devoted one mht exclusively to the compo sitions of the great masters, he would at tract a great ci ok d. "I will give you an ex perience of my o n," said the Kev. Mr. But-li-r, a tongresational minister who recently arrived in this city. "By w ay of parenthesis 1 may ray that I liko something which arouses my leehng. But my daughter Is a gradu-itc ! the most famous"musical college in Huston, unit sometimes she favors me witu something classical which I never like, out apjirei mte it because it shows her skill. I remember thoug.i, on one occasion, a little circle of fi )cnds came to our house, and my daughter played something classical. They Wei all jiro!u-o in their compliments. I whispered to her 'give us "A Shower of fctars,' and the gae It. The crowd were more enthusiastic btill, and evidently liked Jtmui-h better than what was til st rendered. Well, that illustrates the position. There ore any numlici Mlioiwll say 'give us classi cal music, ana j ou give them some school giil pioco, and they won't know the differ ence. At the same time I think the musical tastes of the ."-t Louis people are of so nd lanced a character that u classical night vould take, and be heartily welcomed." The foregoing paragraph from the St. composition, might with equal pertinence say, alter seeing a wax figure of the Secretary of State, "I don't like Mr. Blaine." The trouble lies in the interpretation most of the time. The gentleman had a right to demand "something which arouses my feeling." And when he can find no other reason for appreciation than that "it shows her skill," he can be reasorablv sure either that her interpretation is at fault or else that the so-called "classical" music is nothing but skim-milk masquerading as cream. . Flttiburc Composers In Church.

Among last night's London cables to The Dispatch come the following musical bits: Verdi's ".Falstafi" is reported to contain parts for five prima donne three sopranos, a mezza-soprano and a contralto) and three tenors, beside Maurel in the baritone title role. Verdi, who is about 77 years of age, is working leisurely upon this new opera and is not expected to have it finished before 189.2. A small chorus will be one of the features of "Palstaff," but it will only be used once throughout the work. Gounod, in conversation with a friend re- centlv, said: ".My career as a composer is ended." Gounod's life is known to be in danger from heart disease, and this will pre vent him from ever again undertaking the production of a great work. He added, however, that he hoped to be able to hear "Lohengrin" in the near future. The accidental juxtaposition of these two items points a greater difference between the two old men than one of health. In more than SO years Gounou has not been able to equal, much less surpass, his own "Faust." During the same period Verdi has proven his artistic sincerity by casting off the mottled skin of his "Trovatore" eriod and coming out in the richer and more lasting colors that distinguish the most modern school of composition. And not content with the extraordinary devel opment shown in "Aida," the "Kequiem" and "Otello," the aged enthusiast ib still working along on the same line of progress. This Verdi opera with only one small chorus, if it be completed as heaven grant it may will be worth the hearing, my mas ters 1 Crotchets and Quavers. Mr. Joht K.

One quartette of mixed voices and another of women's voices have been formed and are now in active rehearsal for this season's campaign. He.

Among his other duties Mr. Heffley has charge of a chorus or 123 voices, with whom he Is now rehearsing Ethelbert Kevin's "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod," and Cowen's "Hose Maiden." It will be a sad thing for our orchestral players themselves and for our musical interests generally, if the M. M. P. U. squab ble, lately revived, is to continue for any length of time. Trades union affiliations are dangerous things for "musicians," who ought to be and consider themselves artists rather than tradesmen. Oitb day Colonel Ingersoll said to me: "L , are you fond of muslo t" "I am, Colonel," I replied, "but I am no musician." "TVell, that's a silly answer," said he; "you might Just as well reply.

William David Holmes, the well known Pittsburger now residing in Paris, sends for review two songs of his own com position, which have Just been published In London. No. 1, "I Kiss Thine Eyes," is a sprightlj-, dainty specimen of what the Ger mans call Strophen-lAeder. A correction to be incorporatedin the second edition should be noted: the fourth bar of the song (and tho same phrase elsewhere) should begin w ith an eighth rest and end with an eighth note Instead of a quarter. The correction is essential to the proper rhythm. The second somr. "Here at tne Garden Gate." is more broadly drawn: its fluent and singable mel ody is borne upon an elaborate and effect ive accompaniment.

The reports of tho Pittsburg schools for the opening month of the school year show an inorease of about S00. As will be seen by the comparison of the enrollment of this year with that of last year the schools in the old portion of tho city suffer, while tho schools that can bo considered suburban have a largely Increased attendance. Ex ceptions are to be noted In the case of the Duquesne, In the old city, which has an in crease, and in the case of the Colfax and Lincoln schools, in tho East End, which have a decrease. For Increased attendance the Mt. Washington takes the honors, with the HUand a close second, while Oakland, Liberty, Minersville follow In the order named. Tho Franklin school really shows the largest increase, but that is to be explained by the fact that it had no adequate accom modations last year and consequently lost many of tho pupils living In that district. It now has a magnificent new building, which will amply accommodate its army of pupils.

Women Can't Teach Surveying. Notwithstanding the fact that tho High School Committee passed a resolution that the position of assistant professorship of mathematics at the High Sohool should bs given to a gentleman, a number of ladles are active applicants. The action of the committee was not because a lady was In capable of filling the position, but rather to the fact that surveying will be Included In the requirements of the new position, and that will require outdoor Illustration. Applications for the position are numerous and from everywhere. Prof. Apple, an In structor In the Clarion State Normal Sohool, appears to be the strongest candidate.
