10 MOZART SYMPHON STIRS BIG AUDIENCE Damrosch Conducts Or- chestra in Delightful Pro- gram at Central High. The famous “Jupiter Symphony” of Mozart dominated the delightful program presented by Walter Dam- rosch and the New York Symphony Orchestra at Central High School last night, before an audlence that nearly filled the large auditorium This was the second time this sym- phony has been given this season. It was a cofeature with Brahms® double concerto for violin and ‘cello with orchestral accompaniment on the second afternoon concert pro- gram, December 9. Last night's performance was more interesting and colorful. Perhaps the skiliful, explanatory notes by Mr. Damrosch, given on the plano, as is his custom at these Monday night concerts, added to the effectiveness of this work. The entire audience ecemed in sympathetic mood. The informal atmosphere of these ‘ex- planatory evenings” also is conducive to establishing a receptive mood. = Although Mozart wrote more than 40 sydphonies and was so remark- able a musician as to merit the title “the Raphael among music com- posers,” as pointed out by Mr. Dam- rosch, the “Jupiter” is one of only three symphonies by this composer that are played frequently. Fine Sense of Proportion. “Mozart had an innate sense of proportion that was wonderful,” sald Mr. Damrosch. “He refined and en- nobled human emotions. Particularly noticeable in this work Is his deft manner of using the wood wind in- struments. It was not Mozart who named this work the ‘Juplter Sym- phony,’ but an admirer of the work who felt it deserved the name of the highest of the gods—it is so beau- tiful.” Especially beautiful were the passages of the thitd movement—the minuet and trio, which rose into dazzling _climax in the finale—which, as Mr. Damrosch stated, is a marvel- ous piecc of contrapuntal evolution with a Gregorlan chant as Its basic theme. - Another work of different t¥pe, but equal brilliance, was Liszt's “Les Preludes,” based upon the theme of Lamartine's poem telling of thislife's episodes being but a series of pre- ludes for death and the life after. Liszt Greatest Planist. “Liszt, the greatest planist of his time, revolutionized the art of writ- fng for the piano” sald Mr. Dam- rosch. “He was the standard bearer for many other composers, whom he felt the public did not appreciate. Among these were Beethoven, Schu- mann and Berlicz. His hostoric friendship for Wagner and his deep belief and encouragement of the Beyreuth composer were definite fac- tors in the development of Wagner's writings. Liszt was one genius who was not an egotist. His originality found striking outlet in creating the symphonic, or tone, poem,” a new form of programmatic music. He took Beethoven's idea of a symphony in four movements and made a con- densed symphony in one movement, still retaining the four distinct themes and combining them in a unified tone picture. Muystery, love, violence of a storm and the dellcacy of a pastorale are combined in “Les Preludes,” probably the most popular of the 12 works of this kind written by Liszt.” “Les Preludes” filled the promise given in this description. The only lapse In the sustained interest and intenseness of the picture came after bullding up to the pinnacle of wild beauty in the storm episode and then subsiding into almost stagnant phrases before sweeping into a less con- vincing finale. Lighter Pleces Charming. Debussy’s quaint “Children's Cor- ner” provided three charming bits of contrast to the powerful works that had gone before. There were the uty of “Snow is Falling”—a bit reminiscent of the music the a )t Moussorgsky's and the comical satire In = f A descriptive polka maszurka, Dragon Fly,” by Johann Strauss, completed a fine entertainment, Today Mr. Damrosch will make his final appearance here this season in resenting Beethoven's famous “Ninth ymphony,” with choral finale by lo- TEACHERS TO CONSIDER NEW SALARIES’ SCALE Special Meeting Called to Discuss Rates Established for Substitutes. The new salary scheduled for substi- tuto teachers in the District public schools recently adopted by the Board of Education will be discussed by the ‘Teachers’ Council at a special meet- ing in the Franklin School, Thursday evening at 7.30 o'clock. A protest against the new scale has been filed with the board and school officials by the joint legisla- tive committees of the Teachers’ Unlons. The protest suggested that the new schedule be not put into effect until the Teachers’ Council was glven an opportunity to pass upon it.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1925.” WOULD WIDEN SCOPE OF JUVENILE COURT Suggestion Made That It Have Right to Commit Wards to Private Agencies. A suggestion that the Juvenlle Court be clothed with power to de- cide, either on complaint or on its own initlative, whether a child has been properly placed by the new board of public welfare was advanced yesterday afternpon at a meeting of a speolal committee of the commis- slon on public welfare legislation. The welfare commission, in draft- ing a new Juvenile Court law, has not been able to agree entirely as to how much authority should be left with the court in committing children, and the committee which met yesterday wus oreated to endeavor to settle the question of the commitment power, Some members of the commission, 1t is sald, hold the view that thel|| children should be committed to the welfare board to be placed in sult- able homes. Others feel that the court should be able to commit its wards also to licensed private child- caring agencles. The proposal put forward by the committee yesterday would make possible an appeal from the action of the welfare board in committing a child to a certain home.. Former Judge Milton Strasburger, chairman of the subcommittee, said his group would hold another meeting before making a definite recommendation to the commission.
