PRICE FIVE CENTS Orchestra Features 18th 'Century Music Adolf Busoh’s Little Symphony, on its first tour of America, will present this season’s initial Artists’ Course content in Schwaib Audi torium at 8 p.m. Monday, Novem ber 26. The Little Symphony’s program will be drawn largely from the music of the 18th century masters —Bach, Haydn, and Mozart—tout the'orchestra’s repertoire also in cludes later masterpieces and oc casional contemporary works. Bustoh, who first came to Amer ica in 1931 to play under Toscan ini, conducts in the manner of the old coneertmaster. He indicates the tempo and beat with nods and gestures while he himself plays in the first violin section. He care fully explains the meaning of each part of the music to the players at rehearsal. “By the .time rehearsals are completed, every member of the orchestra is his own conductor,” Busch says, “understanding not simply how his director wishes him to play, tout why the music demands to be played in a certain manner irregardless of- me or my wishes.” The orchestra, which contains 27 musicians, was formed by Busch in 1935 when, at the request of the Italian government, it pre sented the Bach Brandeniburg Concert! at the Florence May Fes tival; It was then known as the Busch Chamber Music Flayers, but oause of BuscK's'iritenf to ’’present" larger symphonic works in the style of chamber music. The conductor, who left his na tive Germany a!t the beginning of Hitler’s regime and is now a citizen of Switzerland, owns a violin said to be one of the finest ever made by Stradivarius. Known as the “Ex-Wiener,” it is dated 1732, showing that it was made by the master craftsman at the age of 88.
