THE MUSIC WORLD
Pittsburg's Prospects for a Perma
nent Symphony Orchestra Ire
by tfo Means Bad.
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. The person
who, on hearing such a performance, ex
claims "I didn't like that composite

LOCAL COHFOSEES IN THE CHUBCH.
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.

Two Veteran Opera TVrlter.
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

Mr. Joht K. MtrnRAT and his wife, known
as Mlsi Clara Lane, both Pittsburg singers,
will be with the Carleton Opera Company,
at the Duquesne this week, In a version of
Strauss' Indigo."
Thb regular bi-weekly meetings of the
"Art Mnslcale" will begin October IS. 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. EuaEin: C Hefixet, lately of this city,
has taken hold with his usual eeal In his
new capacity as Director of the musical de
partment or Grove City (Pa.) College.
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.

are you fond of muslo t" "I am, Colonel," I
replied, "but I am no musician." "TVell,

The engagement of Eurico Bevlgnanl as
conductor or tho Emma Juch Opera Com

artistic plane as the circumstances admit.
Bevignani has made a good reputation for
himself at Covent Garden, London. Mr.
Locke will have a ballet with the troupe this
season. Tho repertoire announced lnoludes
"Romeoand Juliet," "Cavalleria Kusticana,"
"Aida," "Gloconda" and Halevy's "The
Jewess."
Mn. 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. Mr. Holmes' maiden
efforts as a composer are distinctly credi

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.

The New Course of Study.
-he-meeting of the Principals Congress
yesterday was well represented. Superin
tendent Luekey was Chairman, and Prof.
Proudflt acted as Secretary. The adoption
of the new course of study as arranged by
Superintendent Luekey, with suggestions
from principals, was the business before tho
meetlnir. The most noticeable ohances. Mr.
Luekey stated, were in drawing, language
and spelling, the latter to be altogether in
written language.
Prof. J. M. Logan Introduced a resolution,
mentioned in The Dispatch two weeks ago,
that the principals bo divided Into commit
tees who will prepare questions on all the
school subjects which are to be distributed
to tho various sohools every ten weeks.
These questlons.are not to be a test for pro
motion, but more as suggestive methods for
the teachers. In this way the worK of the
school will be made more uniform. His res
olution was adopted. All the principals of
the olty will be on some one of the commit
tees. The Central Board of Education will
be asked to print the questions. The new
course or study is quite extensive and will
be ready in two weeks.

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. A
general utility man for the electric depart
ment will also be elected.
The Odds and Ends.
Miss Iiida Hoskinson and Elii Lingo
were added to the Hlland corps of teachers
last Monday. The Increased attendance
made It necessary to open a new room at
both the Garfield and Highland schools of
the Nineteenth ward. The prospect Is that
another room will be opened shortly. The
Misses Carrie and Cora Evans, of the Wash
ington schools. Seventeenth ward, mourn
the loss of their father, who was buried last
Thursday.
Warrants for the amount of $10,0S2 60 will
be issued to-morrow to the teachers. The
Executive Committee of tho Teachers'
Guild will meet next Saturday at the Grant
School. An election of officers will ensue.
