68The Zoellner Quartet's Activity.
69It is of interest to note in what degree the Zoellner Quartet has contributed to the steadily growing and broad demand in America for chamber music. Aside from filling a long tour, which embraced many of the Eastern States, the entire Middle West, the Pacific Coast (exclusive of the Northwest), and the Southern States, the Zoellners enjoyed the distinction of introducing to American audiences the following important and interesting new works: The Dohnanyi quartet, op. 15, the Glazounow suite, op. 35, the Brandts-Buys "Romantische Serenade" and the Sinding trio for two violins and piano, op. 92; besides this they revived, with distinct success, the Cesar Franck quartet. The novelties which the Zoellners will offer this coming season will be the quartets of Darius Milhaud, Gustave Samazeuillh and Arthur Nevin, who is also composer of the opera "Poia," which was produced at Berlin. The Milhaud work is described as original in conception and ultra-modern, if not daring, in treatment. The production of this work promises to be one of the interesting features of the coming chamber music season.
71When playing in communities where chamber music, in its best form, has not been previously heard, the Zoellners have adopted the plan of including on their programs, in addition to the standard classics, a group containing at least one movement from works of the different modern schools—the Russian, the French, the Dutch, and often times a work by an American composer. Thus, they have been able to carry to all parts of the country a definite interest in the different modern schools. The Zoellners have been very highly complimented by the presidents of clubs and universities for their industry in arranging such programs.
73Harry Culbertson, the American manager of the Zoellner Quartet, reports that a very large portion of the 1914-1915 tour of the Zoellners is already completely booked.
75Schoenefeld Out.
76To the Musical Courier
77As the time set for the entry of scores in the $10,000 prize opera contest of the National Federation of Musical Clubs now is past I respectfully request the editor of the MUSICAL COURIER to publish this announcement of the withdrawal from the contest of Henry Schoenefeld, of Los Angeles, owing to the shortness of time allotted for composition.
79I wish it clearly understood that his withdrawal is made with no criticism of the committee in charge of the contest. It is simply to do justice to Mr. Schoenefeld, who signified his intention of entering the contest but who has since discovered his inability to complete his opera within the short space of one year without materially slighting the composition by extreme haste which, of course, in any art is fatal to artistic achievement.
81Writing you as his librettist I deem it permissible to speak of Mr. Schoenefeld's participation in previous notable musical contests, else this letter might appear a presumption. In 1892 he had the honor of winning the first prize offered by the National Conservatory of Music of New York for the best American symphony, bestowed by Antonin Dvorak, chairman of the judges. Again in 1899 he received the Henry Marteau prize in Paris for the best American sonata for violin and piano.
83In the light of Mr. Schoenefeld's noteworthy orchestral work I think it is to be regretted that he was unable to compete in the opera contest. But the possibility of similar future contests offering him the opportunity to contribute an original operatic addition to American music will be looked forward to with interest and pleasure by his friends.
85Yours respectfully,
86BERNARD McCONVILLE.
88Steinway Fame Has Encircled the World
89Wherever love of music prevails—in the palace of Old World royalty, in the mansion of aristocracy, in the home of the true music lover everywhere—the Steinway is known and preferred above all other pianos. Supremacy of tone and workmanship has achieved this international renown, and four succeeding generations have faithfully upheld the art ideal which produced the first Steinway.
91When you buy a Steinway you buy the Standard Piano of the World.
