STEINWAYTHE INSTKUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS

ON the 26th of March, 1827, diedLudwig van Beethoven, of whomit has been said that he was the

greatest of all musicians. A generationlater was born the Steinway Piano, whichis acknowledged to be the greatest of all

pianofortes. What a pity it' is that thegreatest master could not himself have

played upon the greatest instrument—that these two could not have been borntogether! Though the Steinway was de-nied Beethoven, it was here in time for

Liszt and Rubinstein, for Wagner, Berliozand Gounod. And today, a still greaterSteinway than these great men knew,responds to the touch of Paderewksi,

Rachmaninoff and Hofmann. Such, infact; are the fortunes of time, that today,

this Instrument of the Immortals,this piano, more perfect than anyBeethoven ever dreamed of, can be poS'

sessed and played and cherished not only

by the few who are the masters of music,but by the many who are its lovers.

Steinway & Sons and their dealers haoe made it concenienlly possible for music lovers to own a Steinway.Prices: $875 and up, plus freight at points distant from New York-

Symphony No. 6, in F major, "Pastoral," Op. 68LuDwiG VAN Beethoven

(Born at Bonn, December 16, 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827)

This symphony-^"Sinfonia pastorale"—was composed in the country-round about Heiligenstadt in the summer of 1808. It was first per-formed at the Theater an der Wien, Vienna, December 22, 1808. Thesymphony was described on the programme as "A symphony entitled'Recollections of Life in the Country,' in F major, No. 5" (sic). Allthe pieces performed were by Beethoven: an Aria, "Ah, perfido,"

sung by Josephine Kilitzky; Hymn with Latin text written in churchstyle, with chorus and solos; Pianoforte Concerto in G major, played byBeethoven; Grand Symphony in C minor. No. 6 (sic); Sanctus, withLatin text written in church style from the Mass in C major, withchorus and solos; Fantasie for pianoforte solo; Fantasie for piano-

forte, "into which the full orchestra enters little by little, and at theend the chorus joins in the Finale." The concert began at half-pastsix. We know nothing about the pecuniary result.There was trouble about the choice of a soprano. Anna Pauline

Milder, the singer for whom Beethoven wrote the part of Fidelio, waschosen. Beethoven happened to meet Hauptmann, a jeweller, whowas courting her. In a strife of words he called him "stupid ass!"

Hauptmann, apparently a sensitive person, forbade Pauline to sing,

and she obeyed him.

Antonia Campi, born Miklasiewicz (1773), was then asked, but her

husband was angry because Miss Milder had been invited first, and he

gave a rude refusal. Campi, who died in 1822 at Munich, was remarkable not only as a singer: she bore seventeen children, among them fourpairs of twins and one trio of triplets, yet was the beauty of her voice

in no wise affected.

Finally Josephine Kilitzky (born in 1790) was persuaded to sing

"Ah, perfido." She was badly frightened when Beethoven led her out,

and could not sing a note. Rackel says a cordial was given to her be-

hind the scenes; it was too strong, and the aria suffered in consequence.

Reichardt describes her as a beautiful Bohemian with a beautiful

voice. "That the beautiful child trembled more than sang was to be

laid to the terrible cold; for we shivered in the boxes, although wrappedin furs and cloaks." She was later celebrated for her "dramatic colora-

ture." Her voice was at first of only two octaves, said Ledebur, but

all her tones were pure and beautiful, and later she gained upper tones.

She sang from 1813 to 1831 at Berlin, and pleased in many parts, fromFidelio to Arsaces, from Donna Elvira to Fatime in "Abu Hassan."She died, very old, in Berlin.

"Ah, perfido," had been composed in 1796 for Josephine Duschek.

The "Fantasie," for piano, orchestra, and chorus, was Op. 80.

J. F. Reichardt wrote a review of the new works. He named, butincorrectly, the subtitles of the Pastoral Symphony, and added, "Each

number was a very long, complete, developed movement full of lively

painting and brilliant thoughts and figures; and this, a pastoral sym-

phony, lasted much longer than a whole court concert lasts in Berhn."Of the one in C minor he simply said: "A great, highly-developed, toolong symphony. A gentleman next us assured us he had noticed atthe rehearsal that the violoncello part alone—and the violoncellistswere kept very busy—covered thirty-four pages. It is true that thecopyists here understand how to spread out their copy, as the lawscriveners do at home." No record of the reception by the audienceof the new works has come down to us. Reichardt censured the per-formance of the Hymn—a Gloria—and the Sanctus, and said that the

piano concerto was enormously difficult, but Beethoven played it in an

astounding manner and with incredible speed. "He literally sang the

Adagio, a masterpiece of beautiful, developed song, with a deep and

melancholy feeling that streamed through me also." Count Wilhourski

told Ferdinand Hiller that he sat alone in an orchestra stall at the per-

formance, and that Beethoven, called out, bowed to him personally, in

a half-friendly, half-ironical manner.*

* *

The Pastoral was described on the programme of 1808 as follows:

—

Pastoral Symphony [No. 5 (sic)], more expression of feeling than painting.First Piece. Pleasant feelings which awake in man on arriving m the country.Second Piece. Scene by the brook.Third Piece. Jovial assemblage of the country folk, in which appear suddenly

Fourth Piece. Thunder and storm, in which enterFifth Piece. Beneficial feehngs, connected with thanks to the Godhead after the

storm.

The headings finally chosen are on the title-page of this Programme

Book. The descriptive headings were probably an afterthought. In

the -sketch-book, which contains sketches for the first movement, is a

note: "Characteristic Symphony. The recollections of life in the

country." There is also a note: "The hearer is left to find out the

situations for himself."

pages to Beethoven's love of nature. "Nature was to Beethoven not

only a consoler for his sorrows and disenchantments; she was also

a friend with whom he took pleasure in familiar talk, the only inter-course to which his deafness presented no obstacle." Nor did Beetho-ven understand Nature in the dryly theoretical manner of Jean JacquesRousseau, whose writings then were in fashion, for there could be

no point of contact between the doctrines of this Calvinist of Genevaand the effusions of Beethoven, a Catholic by birth and by education.Nor did Beethoven share the views of many romantics about Nature.He would never have called her "immense, impenetrable, and haughty,"as Berlioz addressed her through the mouth of his Faust. A littlenook, a meadow, a tree,—these sufficed for Beethoven. He had sopenetrated the beauty of nature that for more than a dozen years all

his music was impregnated by it.

His bedside book for many, many years soon after his passion forGiulietta Guicciardi was the "Lehr und Erbauungs Buch" of Sturm.

Passages underscored show the truth of the assertions just made, and

he copied these lines that they might always be in his sight: "Nature

can be justly called the school of the heart; it shows us beyond all

doubt our duty towards God and our Neighbor. I wish therefore tobecome a disciple of this school, and offer my heart to it. Desirous of

self-instruction, I wish to search after the wisdom that no disillusioncan reject; I wish to arrive at the knowledge of God, and in this knowl-edge I shall find a foretaste of celestial joys."

Nature to Beethoven was the country near by, which he could visitin his daily walks. If he was an indefatigable pedestrian, he wasnever an excursionist. "Tourisme, a mania of modern Germany car-ried to such an extent with its instinct of militarism that it is clothedin a uniform (gray green coat with hartshorn buttons, and a shabbylittle hat ornamented with a shaving brush*)

—

tourisme, I say, did notexist at the beginning of the 19th century. When any one undertooka distant journey, it was for business, not for pleasure; but pedestrian

tours were then very common."

M. d'Indy draws a picture of the little Wirthschaften in the suburbs ofthe large towns, humble inns "not yet ticketed with the pompousbarbarism of 'restaurant.' " They were frequented by the bourgeoisie,who breathed the fresh air and on tables of wood ate the habitualsausage and drank the traditional beer. There was a dance hall with

a small orchestra; there was a discreet garden with odorous alleys in

which lovers could walk between the dances. Beyond was the forestwhere the peasant danced and sang and drank, but the songs and

dances were here of a ruder nature.

Beethoven, renting a cottage at Dobling, Grinzing, or Heiligenstadt,

which then were not official faubourgs, could in a few minutes be in

the forest or open country. Thus influenced, he wrote the pianofortesonatas, Op. 28 and Op. 31; the "Waldstein" sonata; the violin sonata.

Op. 30, No. 3; three movements of the seventh quartet (1806); thesixth, seventh, and eighth symphonies; and the tenth sonata for violin.

Op. 96; also Village Dances, the finales of Trios, Op. 70, No. 2, and

Op. 97, and the pastoral entr'acte of "Egmont."

Beethoven did not attempt to reproduce the material, realistic im-

pression of country sounds and noises, but only the spirit of the land-

scape.

Thus in the "Pastoral" Symphony, to suggest the rustic calm and the

tranquillity of the soul in contact with Nature, he did not seek curious

harmonic conglomerations, but a simple, restrained melody, which

embraces only the interval of a sixth (from /« to re*). This is enough

to create in us the sentiment of repose—as much b}^ its quasi-immobil-ity as by the duration of this immobility. The exposition of this melody

based on the interval of a sixth is repeated with different timbres, but

musically the same, for fifty-two measures without interruption. In

an analogous manner Wagner portrayed the majestic monotony of the

river in the introduction to "Rheingold." Thus far the landscape is

uninhabited. The second musical idea introduces two human beings,man and woman, force and tenderness. This second musical thoughtis the thematic base of the whole work. In the Scherzo the effect of

sudden immobility produced by the bagpipe tune of the strolling musi-

cian (the oboe solo, followed by the horn), imposing itself on the noisy

joy of the peasants, is due to the cause named above; here, with the

exception of one note, the melody moves within the interval of a fifth.

The storm does not pretend to frighten the hearer. The insufficient

kettledrums are enough to suggest the thunder, but in four movements

of the five there is not a fragment of development in the minor mode.

The key of F minor, reserved for the darkening of the landscape hitherto

sunny and gay, produces a sinking of the heart and the distressing

restlessness that accompany the approach of the tempest. Calm re-

*In his "Essais de technique et d'esthfitique musicales," 1902, pp. 380-383, M. Elie Poir^e hasalready remarked the pastoral character of this interval in the key of F major, which by a very plausiblephenomenon of "colored audition" appears to him in correspondence with the color green.—V. d'I.

^urns with the ambitus of the sixth, and then the shepherd's song leadsto a burst of joyfulness. The two themes are the mascuhne and feminineelements exposed in the first movement.

According to M. d'Indy the Andante is the most admirable expres-sion of true nature in musical literature. Only some passages of"Siegfried" and "Parsifal" are comparable. Conductors usually takethis Andante at too slow a pace, and thus destroy the alert poetry ofthe section. The brook furnishes the basic movement, expressivemelodies arise, and the feminine theme of the first Allegro reappears,alone, disquieted by the absence of its mate. Each section is completedby a pure and prayer-like melody. It is the artist who prays, wholoves, who crowns the diverse divisions of his work by a species ofAlleluia.*

A friend of mine has a Satisfied state of mind—here is the reason.He was persuaded to increase his Life Insurance to $100,000. This

is the -way I arranged it for him.

$10,000 will be paid in cash to meet the usual estate shrinkageswhich occur at death.

$90,000 will give his wife a life income of $350 a month. At herdeath the three children will receive an income of $120 a month upto age 30.

At ages 30, 35 and 40 each child will receive $10,000 in cash— adecreased income being paid in the interim after each $10,000 is takenaway.

No matter what else he leaves he has provided well. Would youlike your life insurance similarly arranged? Feel free to consult me.

"the nightingale (flute), quail (oboe), and cuckoo (clarinet) are heard."

III. Practically a scherzo. Allegro, F major, 3-4. The thesisof the theme begins in F major and ends in D minor, the antithesisis in D major throughout. This theme is developed brilliantly. Thesecond theme, of a quaint character, F major, is played by the oboeover middle parts in waltz rhythm in the violins. "The bass to this

is one of Beethoven's jokes. This second theme is supposed to suggest

the playing of a small band of village musicians, in which the bassoon-

player can get only the notes F, C, and octave F out of his ramshackleold instrument; so he keeps silent wherever this series of three notes

will not fit into the harmony. After being played through by the oboe,

the theme is next taken up by the clarinet, and finally b}^ the horn,

the village bassoonist growing seemingly impatient in the matter of

counting rests, and now playing his F, C, F, without stopping." The

trio of the movement. In tempo d 'allegro, F major, 2-4, is a stronglyaccentuated rustic dance tune, which is developed in fortissimo by the

full orchestra. There is a return of the first theme of the scherzo,

which is developed as before up to the point when the second theme

is interrupted by a thunder-storm, allegro, F minor, 4-4, which is apiece of free tone-painting.

IV. Allegro, F major, 6-8.It may be said here that some programme-makers give five move-

ments to this symphony. They make the thunder-storm an inde-pendent movement. Others divide the work into three movements

beginning the third with the "jolly gathering of country-folk."

One of the earliest performances in Boston of this symphony was at

a Boston Academy of Music Concert, January 15, 1842. The pro-

gramme included Cherubini's overture, "Les deux Journess" (sic); asong, "The Stormy Petrel," by the Chevalier Neukomm and sung by

Mr. Root; an oboe solo, fantasia, "Norma," played by "Signor Ribas"*;and then the first two movements of the "Pastoral" Symphony, endedthe first part. The programme stated that the notes of quail andcuckoo are heard in the second movement. Part II. began with thelast three movements of the "Pastoral," after which Mr. Wetherbysang a ballad, "When the Flowers of Hope are Fading," by Linley,and the overture to "Masaniello," by Caraffa (sic), ended the concert.The programme published this Macedonian appeal: "The Academyregret to be obliged to add that without increased patronage the seriesof concerts they were prepared to give must be discontinued, as thereceipts fall far short of the expenses. The hopes entertained of adifferent result have induced the Academy to persevere thus far, and itwill be with great reluctance that they abandon their plan." Theconcerts were continued, certainly until February 27, 1847.

*Antonio L. de Ribas, born at Madrid, January 12, 1814; died in Boston, January 28, 1907. Adistinguished virtuoso, he made his first appearance in London in 1837 and in New York in 1839. Hewas the first oboe when the Boston Symphony Orchestra was established in 1881. His associate thenwas Paul Fischer.

A Treasure HuntA bowlegged sailor with a patch over one eye whispers

behind a dirty hand. He tells of a long boat putting into abarren coral reef on a raven-black night, of the attack at

dawn by the pursuers of the pirate vessel and of his escape

!

Over a glass of grog he sells a chart drawn on grimy parchmentwhich will guide his hearer to rotted chests buried deep in

shifting sand. After many adventures the treasure is foundand yields Spanish doubloons, bars of silver, and many jewels.Such is the treasure hunt of fiction.

The treasure hunt which we suggest that you undertake isnot so picturesque or so difficult; but it is much more likelyto bring forth treasure trove.

Memory is the chart with which you start. Seek, by its aid,in bank vault, safe, bureau drawer, or desk for discardedjewelry and silver. Some pieces that you discover will needonly cleaning; for fashion has once more made their useappropriate and becoming.

Others you will find unattractive or in poor condition.Bring them in to us. We will repair them or change them intosomething new and delightful. Many a gem shines with re-newed youth and beauty when reset. Oftentimes it is amatter of only a few dollars to change an unwanted pendantor brooch into a ring or earrings of lasting delight.

"Il Lamento d' Arianna" ("The Lament of Ariadne"), from theOpera ''Arianna" Claudio Monteverdi

(Born at Cremona in May, 1567, he was baptized in the church of Ss. Nazaro eCelso on May 15; died at Venice, November 29, 1643)

O Teseo, o Teseo mio, o §i che mio ti vo' dir, che mio pur sei, benche t' involi'ahi crudo! agH occhi miei. O Teseo mio, se tu sapessi, o Dio! se tu sapessi, oime'come s' affanna la povera Arianna, forse, forse pentito rivolgeresti ancor la proraal lito; ma con V aure serene tu te ne vai fehce, ed io qui piango. Ahi che non piurisponde! Ahi che pii^i d' aspe e sordo ai miei lamenti!O nembi, o turbini, o venti, sommergetelo voi dentro a quell' onde! Correte

orche e balene, e delle membra immonde empiete le voragini profonde! Che parlo?ahi che vaneggio? Misera, ohime, che chieggo? O Teseo, o Teseo mio, non sonquell' io i fere detti sciolse: parlo I'affanno mio, parlo il dolore, parlo la lingua si,ma non gia il core. Dove, e la fede che tanto mi giuravi? Cosl nell' alta sede tumi ripon degli avi. Sono queste le corone, onde mi adorni il crine? Questi gliscettri sono, queste le gemme e gli ori? Lasciarmi in abbandono, o* fera, che mistrazi e mi divori! Ahi Teseo mio, lascierai tu morire invan piangendo, invan gri-dando aita, la misera Arianna che a te fidossi e ti da gloria e vita!

Lasciatemi morire! E che volete che mi conforte in cosi dura sorte, in cosi granmartire? Lasciatemi morire!

O Theseus, O my Theseus, you must say that you are mine, even though j'ou flyfrom me, alas, cruel in my eyes ! O Theseus, if you knew, O God, if you knew howtroubled is your poor Ariadne, perhaps, repenting, you would turn your prow backtoward the shore, and with tranquil breezes you would not leave me, you, happy,while I weep here. Alas, that you do not reply! Alas, that you are deaf to mycries

!

*The manuscript in Florence has "a" not "o," and thus "fera" would be usedcollectively, and not applied solely to Theseus.—P. H.

O clouds, O whirlwinds, O winds, overwhelm him in the waves! Hasten, seamonsters and lightning, fill your abysses with his dismembered body! What am Isaying? Am I raving? O me miserable, what do I ask? O Theseus, O myTheseus, it is not I who has said these fierce words—-my trouble speaks, my griefspeaks, even my tongue speaks, but not yet my heart. Where is the faith youhave sworn to me? Not thus did you reply in the old home of our ancestors. Arethese the crowns wherewith my locks are adorned? These the sceptres, these thejewels, and the golden ornaments? Leave me prostrate, O wild beast which tearsand devours me! Ah, my Theseus, you would leave me to die, weeping in vain,calling in vain for help, the unhappy Ariadne who would give you her faith, herglory, her life

Let me die! Wlio would wish to comfort me in such a cruel fate in so great amartyrdom? Let me die!

"Arianna," text by Ottavio Rinuccini, was the second opera ofMonteverdi. "Orfeo," text by Alessandro Striggio, was producedat the Accademia degl' Invaghiti, Mantua, during the carnival of 1607,and repeated in the ducal theatre on February 24, March 1, and atother times that year. This was probably the first opera producedin Mantua. It was composed at the request of the Duke VincenzoGonzaga and published in 1609. The libretto, "La Favola d' Orfeo,"was published at Mantua in 1607.

In October, 1607, Rinuccini, who had sketched the libretto of"Arianna," went to Mantua for the purpose of consulting Monteverdi.The latter's young wife, Claudia, had died the month before, and he sethimself to work as though he wished to kill himself. The score wascompleted by February, 1608. The singer whom the composer hadin mind for his Arianna was Caterina Martinelli, and she had studied

the part with him. She, a Roman, had had much to do with the suc-cess of Marco da Gaghano's "Dafne," produced at Mantua during thecarnival of 1608. She died on March 9 of that 3^ear, when she wasonly eighteen years old. The singer that was finally chosen to replaceher was Virginia Andreini, called La Florinda.* She learned the partin less than a week. Monteverdi wished rehearsals for five months,but the opera was produced at Mantua on May 28, 1608, in a theatrethat according to Follino's statement held over six thousand people.The performance was for the wedding festivities of the Crown Prince

Francesco Gonzaga and Margarethe of Savoy, who had been marriedat Turin in March. Count Follino, who at the request of the Dukewrote an account of the festivities, tells us that the theatre was toosmall for the invited guests and the court; that only with difficultywas the entrance kept clear. "The lament of Ariadne forsaken byTheseus was sung with so much feeling and in such a moving mannerthat all the hearers were deeply affected by it, and there were tearsin every woman's eyes." The orchestra was behind the scenes. Thelibretto was published in 1608, and the hearers were provided with it.The performance lasted for two hours and a half.The music of "Arianna" with the exception of the heroine's lament

was supposed to be lost; but see Mr. Bos's statement below. Thislament was published for the first time in 1623 at Orvieto with

Virginia Ramponi married in 1601, Giambattista Andreini, of Florence, a strangegenius whose melodramas with music were greatly prized in Italy and France. Shesang later in Monteverdi's "Ballo delle Ingrate" (June 4, 1608). Her husband, at thehead of the Fedili troup, was invited to Paris by Marie d' Medicis in 1613. He madeother visits to Paris, even as late as 1647. He was the son of the famous IsabellaAndreini, poetess, wit, actress, and musician.

works of other authors, but the composer was not named. Monteverdilater set Latin words to it, turned it into a Pianto della Madonnaand pubHshed it in this form at the end of his "Selva morale e spirit-uale" (Venice, 1640-41). A portion of the lament arranged for fivevoices is in his "Sesto libro de' Madrigali" (Venice, 1614). Thesepublished editions contained only fragments of the lament. EmilVogel found the whole in a manuscript of the first third of the seven-teenth century in the National Library at Florence. The manuscript isnot in Monteverdi's hand. Vogel thinks, from the sumptuous form ofthe volume containing this and other manuscripts, that the collectionwas made for some noble dame, perhaps a princess of the great house ofMedici. ''Arianna," especially the lament, spread Monteverdi's famethroughout Italy. Gagliano and Coppini testified to the manner inwhich the audience was affected. Doni in 1640 declared that thelament was the most beautiful composition that had yet been writtenfor the theatre. "Arianna" was performed in Florence in 1614, andwas given in Venice as late as 1640.The version sung here by Mme. Julia Gulp at concerts of the Boston

Symphony Orchestra on February 12-13, 1915, was arranged by Ot-torino Respighi, of Bologna, with her aid. Mr. Bos informed us thatother portions of the opera were then found in the library at Bologna.The accompaniment was for full orchestra.We do not know the character of the original orchestration. We

know that the orchestra of "Orfeo" was thus composed: two gravi-cembali, two contrabassi de viola, ten viole da brazzo, one arpa doppia,

For an account of the life and works of the great genius Monteverdi,one of the most illustrious figures in the history of music, see: "ClaudioMonteverdi," an Inaugural Dissertation by Emil Vogel (Leipsic, 1887),(extended into an essay and published in the Vierteljahrsschrift fiirMusikwissenschaft, 1889); "Studien zur Geschichte der italienischenOper," H. Goldschmidt (Vol. II., 1904); "Die Instrumentalsttickedes 'Orfeo,' " by A. Heuss (1903); Sommi Piccavardi's "Claudio Monte-verdi" (Milan, 1906); "Les Origines due Theatre Lyrique Moderne,"by Romain Holland, pp. 83-106 (Paris, 1895); "L'Opera Italien enFrance avant Lulli," by Henry Prunieres (Paris, 1913).

When a libretto in which Zephyr and Boreas were to sing was offeredto Monteverdi, he answered: "How can I imitate the speech of windsif they do not speak? How could I through them incite emotion?Ariadne moved the hearer because she was a woman, and so did evenOrpheus, because he was a man and not a wind."

Three Songs with Orchestra: "Urlicht" ("Primal Light"), "DasiRDiscHE Leben" ("Earthly Lip^e"), "Wer hat das Liedleinerdacht?" ("Who Thought Out this Little Song?")

Gustav Mahler

(Born at Kalischt in Bohemia, July 1 (or 7), 1860; died at Vienna, May 18, 1911)

"Primal Light" for contralto solo is the fourth movement of Mahler'sSymphony No. 2, C minor, which he began at Leipsic in 1886, was com-pleted at Steinbach on the Attersee in 1894, and first performed as awhole at Berlin on December 13, 1895. (The three instrumental move-ments had been performed at Berlin in March, 1895.) Mahler directedthe symphony in New York on December 8, 1908, when it was broughtout by the Symphony Orchestra of that city, with Laura Combs, soprano,Gertrude Stein-Bailey, contralto, and the chorus of the Oratorio Society.Merle Alcock sang "Urlicht" when the symphony was produced in

Boston at an extra concert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra onJanuary 22, 1918 (May Peterson, soprano; chorus of three hundred andfifty trained by Stephen Townsend; Dr. Muck conductor).

"Urlicht" is an old song preserved in Achine von Arnim's and ClemensBrentano's collection "The Boy's Magic Horn," which was publishedin 1806. The English translation here given is by Margarete Miinster-berg.

The following songs are also from "Des Knaben Wunderhorn," ofwhich Goethe, to whom it was dedicated, said: "This book will find itsmost suitable place upon the piano of the amateur or master of music,so that the poems contained therein may enter their true sphere, eitherset to familiar old melodies or fitted with other suitable tunes, or, Godwilling, with new and significant melodies inspired by them."Mahler used verses from "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" not only for

songs, but also for the alto solo in the Second Symphony, the women'schorus in the Third, the soprano solo in the Fourth.Between 1888 and 1901 Mahler made songs out of various poems in

the old anthology. A dozen of these are for solo voice and orchestra.We are unable to identify the translator of the following:

des Champs-Elysees on May 29, 1913, by the Diaghilev Ballet Russe.Mr. Monteux conducted. The chief dancers were M. Nijinsky andMile. Piltz. The performance, while it delighted some, incited howlsof protest. The hissing was violent, mingled with counter cheers, sothat M. Astruc ordered the lights turned up. The late Alfred Capuswrote a bitter article published in Le Figaro, in which he said:

—

BlufRng the idle rich of Paris through appeals to their snobbery is a delightfullysimple matter. . . . The process works out as follows: Take the best societj^ pos-sible, composed of rich, simple-minded, idle people. Then submit them to an intenseregime of publicity. By pamphlets, newspaper articles, lectures, personal visitsand all other appeals to their snobbery, persuade them that hitherto they have seenonly vulgar spectacles, and are at last to know what is art and beauty. Impressthem with cabalistic formulae. They have not the slightest notion of music, litera-ture, painting, and dancing; still, they have heretofore seen under these names onlya rude imitation of the real thing. Finally assure them that they are about to .seereal dancing and hear real music. It will then be necessary to double the pricesat the theatre, so great will be the rush of shallow worshippers at this false shrine.

There were five performances that season.

When this ballet was brought out at Drury Lane, London, on July11, 1913, with Mr. Monteux conductor, it was thought advisable to

send a lecturer, Mr. Edwin Evans, in front of the curtain, to explain

the ideas underlying the ballet. At the end of the performance there

was greater applause than hissing.

The music of this ballet was performed for the first time in concert

form by an orchestra conducted by Mr. Monteux at one of his concerts

at the Casino de Paris in Paris on April 5, 1914, when it was enthusias-

tically applauded.

And now "The Rite of Spring" is acclaimed as Stravinsky's greatestwork.

• The first performance of the music in this country was by the Phila-delphia Orchestra in Philadelphia on March 3, 1922.

Much has been written about this remarkable ballet. Some havegone to Sir J. G. Frazer's "Golden Bough" and talked about the mj^sticaladoration of Spring "as the sign of fertility culminating in a propitia-

tory sacrifice"; how the decay of vegetation in winter is the weakeningof the impulse of fertility and must be brought to life in a younger

form. Mr. Edwin Evans finds behind the pretext of a rite the mar-vellous power inherent in all nature to grow, develop, and assume newforms. "This power is so great that it affects Nature herself with a

tremor, expressing itself in uneasiness at the critical period of adoles-

cence in all living things. It is that tremor, that inner disturbance,

which is the underlying thought of 'The Rite of Spring.'" And EdithSitwell has this to say: "Life is energy, and the very fact of that life

will eventually push us over the abyss into the waiting and intolerable

darkness. In 'The Rite of Spring' he [Stravinsky] gives us the beginning

of energy, the enormous and terrible shaping of the visible and invisible

world through movement."

Thus might Captain Lemuel Gulliver have heard learned professorsdiscussing at the Academy of Legado.But some have quoted Stravinsky as saying that this work is to be

regarded as abstract niusic in all but name, a modern symphony. Theanswer to this is that descriptive titles for the various sections are inthe score.

*

First of all, the ballet is a succession of scenes. Let us hear whatStravinsky himself told Michel Georges-Michel about it.*

The embryo is a theme that came to me when I had completed "The Fire-Bird."As this theme with that which followed was conceived in a strong, brutal manner,

I took as a pretext for developments, for the evocation of this music, the Russianprehistoric epoch, since I am a Russian. But note well that this idea came fromthe music; the music did not come from the idea. My work is architectonic, notanecdotical: objective, not descriptive construction.

And so Boris de Schloezer in an elaborate study of Stravinsky pub-lished in La Revue Musicale for December, 1923, is inclined to smileat those who speak of the "rehgious, mystical element" in the ballet,and philosophize over "the mentality of primitive man evoked by aRussian, rather, Scythian barbarian." He insists that in Russia thenegro-American elements, as syncopation, would be at once recognized.The work is not an impressionistic evocation; it is "the direct trans-position of a certain act on a sonorous plane," a symmetrical construc-tion.

*

Stravinsky worked on "The Rite of Spring" in 1912-13, completingit at Clarens. Boris de Schloezer, discussing the question of Russianfolk-song influence, states that the two meloclies in "Mysterious Circlesof Youths" and the second motive in "Ritual Action" are Russianfolk-tunes, the other themes, while they have. Russian character

—

rhythmic accentuation, preciseness of melodic lines, harmonic harshness,a diatonic nature—are of Stravinsky's invention.

*

The first part of the work is "The Fertility of the Earth."second part is "The Sacrifice."

Part I

There is a slow Introduction, which, according to commentators,portrays "the mystery of the physical world in Spring." It is said thatStravinsky here uses wood-wind instruments, whose "dryness conveysa more austere expression of truth"; he "mistrusts the facile expressive-ness" of the strings.

The curtain rises. Omens of Spring. Dances of the Youths andMaidens: a rite of incantation with vigorous stamping on the ground.Dance tune for flutes, while trumpets chant a harmonized theme usedlater. A mock abduction is part of this ritual.Then come the Spring Rounds, introduced by a tune for clarinet.

The main portion of the dance is based on the theme already announcedby the trumpets. Another ceremony: Games of Rival Towns. Anold man, wise, white-haired, bearded, enters. He is the Celebrant.He prostrates himself. All kiss the ground. A sacred dance follows.

When this ballet was performed early in 1914 at Moscow, this first •

section was entitled "The Kiss to the Earth."

Part II

At the Introduction, "The Pagan Night," Mr. Evans has said: "Adeep sadness pervades it, but this sadness is physical, not sentimental.

It is gloomy with the oppression of the vast forces of Nature, pitifulwith the helplessness of living creatures in their presence. This Pre-

lude leads to the Mystic Circle of the Adolescents. Girls dance andplay. One must be sacrificed to Spring. The victim is chosen. HerGlorification. Evocation of Ancestors. Ritual Performance of the

Ancestors. The chosen victim begins her sacrificial act. She mustdance herself to death."The score calls for two piccolos, two fiutes, flute in G, four oboes

(one interchangeable with a second Enghsh horn), English horn, threeclarinets (one interchangeable with a second bass clarinet), clarinet in

E-flat, bass clarinet, three' bassoons (one interchangeable with second

double-bassoon) , double-bassoon, eight horns (two interchangeable with

Bayreuth tubas), four trumpets, trumpet in D, bass trumpet, threetrombones, two tubas, four kettledrums, small kettledrum, bass drum,tambourine, cymbals, antique cymbals, triangle, tam-tam, rape guero

"Tommy's awful. He kicks and screams until I have togive him what he wants."

This, and similar remarks are familiar ones to the doctor

at the Habit Clinics which have been estabhshed by the Com-munity Health Association during the past year under the

direction of Dr. Douglas A. Thom. There are only three of

these Mental Hygiene clinics at present but they are being

asked for in every district as a necessary and important part

of the preventive work being done.

Dr. Thom says, in his pamphlet on Habit Clinics forChildren of Pre-school Age, "The habit clinic has for its objec-

tive the healthy development of the mental aspect of the child's

life, beginning at a time when methods of prevention rather

than cure can be utilized." And again, "There is a group ofcases, how large or how small we cannot say at this time, whobecome the victims of their environment rather than their

heredity, their economic or social failure having its origin in

the mental conflicts of childhood and in the development of

unhealthy methods of dealing with mental problems."
