Some Interesting Miustrations. From the Home Journal. To show that tho physical qualifications for masic is greater than may be generally believed it is necessary to present a few facts. ‘The celebrated pianist, Gottschalk, was highly amused on finding performances studied very closely by a scientist who had published a treatise on the number of muscular efforts that may be made In agiven time, for this learned savant found that in one brilliant piece Gotts- chalk exceeded greatly the estimate he had made after careful consideration. The number of consecutive percussions given out were found to be quite astonishing. Although Gotts- alic pretended to be greatly entertained by his critics and their widely differing points of a yet he must have already known that his physical strength was great. Although to all appear- ance delicately constituted, he wrestled with the museniar giants who were engaged in moy- ing his heavy concert pianos, and with a success that astonished them so greatly as to make it a subject of conversation to the present day. When Bulow was on his concert tour through Germany and Austria he met Rubinstein at Vienna. They were both playing on the Bozen- dorfer plano-fortes, but Bulow would not play on Rubinstein’s instrument. He would have another one provided for his use. Prof. Schmidt, of that city, being curious to learn the real rea- son of this determination, examined the ‘touch’ of each instrument respecting the depth the’ keys sank and the weight required to depress them to the lowest point. The piano-forte that Rubinstein played required an average weight of eigiity-eight crams (one gram being equal to fifteen and: one-half grains), while Bulow’s re- quired an average weight of one hundred and five grams. Therefore the keys of the Rubin- stein piano-forte were easier to put in action than those of Bulow’s piano-forte; but on the other hand the keys sank fully twenty-five per cent. deeper than Bulow’s, so that the action ot both pianos made pretty equal demands on the physical powers of the respective performers. | But if Bulow had played on Rubinstein’s instru- too deep, for they are small. To play on an in- strumeat with a deep touch one must have long tingers. Professor Schmidt COUNTED THE NUMBER OF NOTES played by Rubinstein, at one of the concerts, and found them to be sixty-two thousand nine hundred and ninety in number, and therefore equal tu a pressure of nine hundred and eighty- eightand one-half pounds in weight. On the Bulow instrument they would be equal toa | pressure of one thousand one hundred and ninety and five-eighths pounds. When it is conside: that something more than pressure is needed In a brilliant fortissimo, and on a large instrument ip a large hall, and. that a high degree of yelocity must be given to the hammer and not the mere motion due to weight, some estimate of the expenditure of force necessary to deliver such pereu from the fingers may be made. 8 a when playing tn he Steinway pia some instruments to be e chanves were of ary pla the executant the: ly prepared for such anature that vs would regard, and yet to y were most important: Su citen achieved in consequence of special attention being given to m from their mechan’ art or beneath the The sind: consideration of an artist. | details ieads to S, or love of making ridiculous di on the part of the artist, analozous ay affect the margi ak & merchant connected with the 1 elements of art may lead to fame or failure.

PERFORMANCE ON WIND INSTRUMENTS. With reference to the physical qualifications for performance on wind instruments, it should be remembered that although a single inspee- tion of the lips and teeth and trial of the lungs and heart would probahiy show sufficient eapac- ity for ordinary performances, it would be utterly impossible to say if, after years of hard study and practice, any one person would be able to compete sui fully with the best play- ers. The physical powers might prove unequal to the strain of regular practice, and instead of being Increased micht gradually be overtaxed, and lead to trouble with the nerves of the lips aul other distressing consequences. When it is considered how very trifling is the knoweldge of art required to play a few popniar songs upon a cornet, aud the enormous fees that are continn- aid for such performances, and how many nsare striving to obtain these fees, the mat- ns to resolve Itseli at once to a question sical power, zimental band of the Buffs was broken ationed at Caleutta, in 1875, In con- sequence of fifteen out of the twenty-five mem- bers being found uniit to play wind iastruments. ‘The report of the medical authorities after care- ful inspeetion says:— That owing to the state of their hearts” the required exertion was too great. On the other hand, an eminent French a ysician has put forth a theory that the play- on wind instrnments Is beneficial. ‘The real conditions of the eaxe are not easily found or understood. but it appears to be a rational conjecture that the larger the instra- ment the easier, nore natural and healthful is its employment, and expecially as far as the Jungs are concerned, Therefore it would prove advantageous to begin with a deep bass tee or trombone and gradually to proceed through the various kinds of trombone to the vpet and cornet, aes UPON BIG ORGANS.

Irrespective of all artistlo mat- ters think of the mere act of swaying the fore- arm, or even in extending the arm for hours to- gether. An orchestral conductor to live by his skill must have many engacements and his band must be constantly under his direction. We may see in New York one eminent condactor re- hearsing some auxiliary performers at Steinway Hall from ten to one, Then leave for Brooklyn, where a matinee May be held from hait-past two to five ovclock. At eight he may conduct a phitharmonic concert at the Acad- emy from eight until balf-past tea. Here are eight hours of labor of an exhausting kin standing still, giving out museniar *and nervous enerzy. experiencing anxiety for success, the sthnulating effect of the art-works rendered, the excitement of publiowppearances, perhaps also of an oceasional speech extemporized to re- concile an audience to somg, unavoidabie disap- wintment, to sey nothin® of concert specula- tions and anxieties that all tend to lower the phy- sical vigor. Hence it is that health and strength, a certain repose of manner, dignity combined with personal force, and au omnipresent eye are among the first requisites of a conductor. It isnot difficuit to understand why some highly gifted, yet highly susceptible artists, have been compelled to resign the magie wand, find- ing that their efforts in other departments of art required all the energy they could expend con- sistent wit! health and happiness. Yet even as composers they may suffer from cramp in the hand, which will affect their suecess as pianist For they cannot dictate the details of an orch— estral score to an amannaiisis, or employ any of the many resources of the literary producer whose type writer or stenosraphist relieves him of much manual labor. ‘The sculptor may have his marble roughly prepared for his use; painter may leave many details to an engraver; an architect may indicate ina general way his forms when they are prepared symmetrically, yet the composer must write all his details in ertenso, for they are rarely repeated without some slight modiication. They are as the leaves on @ tree or other natural products wherein may be found exemplified the artistic | principle of combining unity and variety. sted crnn Penk ace “PINAFORE’S” PARENTS. An Interesting Chat About Gilbert and Sullivan. MR. ALFRED CELLIER TELLS HOW SIR JOSEPIT PORTER AND BUNTHORNE WERE CREATED—UIS: OPINION OF OSCAR WILDE. From the Baltimore Times. Mr. Alfred Cellier, musical director of the Comly-Barton Opera company, was in geod spirits yesterday when a reporter of The Times cornered him in the Mount Vernon Hotel and asked him to teil what he knew about things in general, and the prospects of the operatic world in particular, especially of that esthetic part o7 the globe which acknowledges loyalty to the lanky-limbed apostle of the aromatic die-away art, Oscar Wilde. “Many people, no doubt, think that Wilde is a fool,” said Mr. Cellier, “butit’s a creat mistake. Wilde is in every respect a sensible fellow, and the character of Bunthorne in Patience is ouly a type of character, not a representative of an in- dividual.” “Do you consider Patience an advance in any respect upon Pinafore or The Pirates of Pen- zance?” asked the reporter. es,” said Mr. Cellier, “in the musical ele- ment it is, although the story is no more inter- esting or ingenius than that of Pinafore or even of The Sorcerer. You know that tione of Gil- bert and Sullivan’s comic operas have any plot; they are merely satires upon manners—rhymes and verse by Mr. Gilbert set to catehing 1elo- dies and airs by Mr. Sullivan.” ‘Was not The Sorcerer an Verne's Dr. Ox's Experi “No,” answered Mr. Cellier, “the story of The Sorcerer was written by Mr. Gilbert long before Jules Verne’s skeich was published.

That the keen satire was appreciated was manifested by unusi ppla great andiences in al- most every city in the United States.” “Who was the character of the Admiral inten- ded to satirize or represent? It has been gen- erally supposed here that the great London newsdealer, W. H. Smith, lord of the Admiralty in the cabinet of Disreali, was the minister that Gilbert was trying to depict upon the nitation of Jules No,” responded Mr. elles “Smith was not | in office when Pinafore wis wrftten. Hugh Childers was the lord of the Admi The character of S Lord of the Admiralty, was intended as 4 sentative of the class of Cabinet minist ‘rom civil life and put in stations that th nfitted for. Why, Childers went down to Portsmouth, the great naval station on the south coast of Engiand, accompanied by a host of women relatives and friends, and le the most extraordinary demonsirations, and gave orders and instructions of such an eccentric sort that the most diverting confusion followed. The port was in an i hea The marines never had such a picnic before. Childers finished his visi by getting himself and his sisters and cousins aid aunts thoroughly drenched before they | reached dryland again. Gilbert lappened to be at Portsmouth at the time, and of course those events were not lost upon him. He treasured them up, and the incidents of Pa result. I have seen Childers’ suc W. H. Smith, at the theater in London many times enjoying Pinafore and lauzhing as hear- tily as any one at the satire and fun of the x But he didn’t stand tor the picture; the character was only the staze repr: official absurdities under a Jingo administra- tion.” “In presenting Gilbert and Sullivan’s com- ic operas in this country, in which city do you find the readiest comprehension and apprecia- tion of the points?” “Well, as to Patience, the piece now on at the Academy of Music. Chicago audiences were about the quickest and most appreciative. Pa- tence was exceedinzly successful there. Of late years,” he continued ‘the comic operas of Arthar Sullivan have received a yast amount of attention and have permeated the musical feel- ings of thousands of people, and this ina man- ner attained by different causes than heretofore. The Italian opera rests on its musical merits, French opera on its unwholesome suggestive- ness, while the success of Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan has been achieyed by the alliance of words and music, and (heir perfect purity of wit and artistic simplicity. The collaboration of author and composer have brought about the happiest results. The music of Patience is in ev respect equal, and, In a general way of a higher description than that of Pinafore or The Pirates of Penzance.
