1impeccable technic, a wonderfully powerful tone and an equally wonderfully caressing pianissimo, to sum up his qualifications, one may say he has the "divine spark." Some exception was taken to Mr. Moiseiwitsch's interpretation of the "Appassionata." That he may have tried to read into this composition something more than may be found by the average interpreter is quite believable, but much more forgivable than that he should have failed to find some nuggets of meaning, or having found, trample them into obscurity in a scramble for notes, or through fear of displaying some healthy sentiment over the find, a point of view indulged in by the type of the blasé. Having so few extraneously fit examples of interpretive criteria by which one may judge of the proper measure of "Appassionata" content in the op. 57, it seems more plausible to infer that Beethoven, the giant, poured in some-

5Ida Kopetschny will give a song recital in Manchester March 9. Madame Kopetschny has often sung in the more northern cities of England and always with much success. At her last appearance in Manchester the Manchester Guardian said: "She proved herself a fine singer of German lieder. Brahms was sung with perfect understanding and great power."
7Edith Clegg, a Hermann Klein pupil, has been engaged for the grand opera season at Covent Garden. Miss Clegg will appear in "Die Walküre," and as Magdalene in "Die Meistersinger."
9Following is the program of Elena Gerhardt's second London recital, given at Bechstein Hall February 10:
11Das Meer hat seine Perlen…………………………………………..Franz

14Der Nussbaum…………………………………………………Schumann
15Ins Freie………………………………………………………..Schumann
16Waldgespräch…………………………………………………Jensen
17Am Ufer des Flusses………………………………………Jensen
18Ein Schwan…………………………………………………….Grieg
19Mit einer Wasserlilie………………………………………Grieg
20Hoffnung………………………………………………………..Grieg

22Im wogenden Tanz………………………………………….Tchaikowsky
23Du denkst mit einem Fäden mich zu fangen………….Hugo Wolf
24Der Freund…………………………………………………….Hugo Wolf
26This interesting program was interpreted with all the marked individuality of the Gerhardt style. Finesse and poetical impulse are always present in all this artist's interpretations. In fine vocal form, Miss Gerhardt charmed her audience, and was repeatedly recalled at the completion of her concert. She was assisted by Paula Hegner, pianist, and accompanist. In the latter capacity Miss Hegner was especially efficient.

37Joseph Holbrooke's second orchestral concert at Queen's Hall February 11 disclosed the fact that in Mr. Holbrooke England has a unique and wholly individual musical genius. If one may select, on the preference of melodic charm, from a program that contained a wealth of orchestral innovations, then the prelude and scena from the composer's drama, "Dylan," must be accorded first place in attractiveness. The libretto is founded on a Welsh legend of the "Sea Ring," and is wonderfully illustrative and even pictorial in its delineation of "wide, open spaces, of elemental forces, and of wild and untamed nature." A fine declamatory solo for the bass voice was sung by Robert Radford. The prelude to this music drama is scored for some unusual instruments, such as four saxhorns, eight concertinas, three saxophones, alto and bass clarinets, a bass flute, a bass trumpet, a celesta, tubaphone, gongs, harps, and other genus of instruments not the common possession of even the regular symphonic orchestra. Among other numbers down on the program was the altogether quaint and charming composition for orchestra, twenty variations on "Three Blind Mice," first produced in London by Henry J. Wood in 1901. The orchestral prelude, "The Bells," produced at the Birmingham Festival of 1906; the tone poem "Ulalume," after Poe's form, and the composer's symphony, "Les Hommages," which was its second London hearing. Analysis of these compositions would cover many pages, but suffice to say there is today no more ultra-modern, no more advanced orchestral technician than Joseph Holbrooke. The list of his compositions published is enormous for a man just entering his thirties.
39The Philharmonic Society has conferred upon Emil Sauer, in recognition of his artistic merits, the much coveted Philharmonic gold medal, bearing the impression of Beethoven's likeness, which has only been presented to a few most distinguished artists who have repeatedly assisted the Philharmonic Society at its concerts.
41Richard Buhlig gave the first in his series of three recitals, at Aeolian Hall, February 8. The program, composed entirely of Beethoven compositions, the sonata, D major, op. 10, No. 3; the "Thirty-two Variations," C minor; sonata, A flat, op. 110, and sonata, C minor, op 111, were all interpreted in the mood and manner spiritual, almost of the too coldly asceticism mode.

It is far from necessary that all sensuous beauty shall be annihilated, in the abstract or concrete, musical or otherwise, that the intellectual may flourish, rather, to particularize, is it the happy adjustment of the combination on an equable basis of reciprocity that brings to a more perfect fluorescence the Beethoven musical genre. Also, a little infusion of virility and a less attenuated listlessness might add somewhat to the improvement of the Buhlig personality. Further interest is centered in this young pianist through the two remaining programs. One to be composed of Brahms and Schubert and one to again contain Beethoven in the sonatas op. 109, E major, and op. 57, F minor, besides a Chopin group. one of two readings
