» By Helen Fetter. N unusual concert was given on Monday, April 13, in New York City, by five leading pianists as a memorial to Ferruccio Benvenuto Busoni, the Italian composer-pianist, who died in Berlin July 28, 1924. Mme. Maria Carreras was the moving spirit of the occasion. Others participating included Ossip Gabrilowitsch, Ernest Hutcheson, Ernest Schelling and William Bachaus. A unique feature that shows the progress of the world in perfecting mechanical devices for recording the work of great artists so that it will outlive them was the participation of Busoni himself, as it were, through a record of his transcription of the Bach “Chaconne,” made in London and played on a reproducing piano. Busoni deserves a place in the history of music in America not only because of his brilliant recitals as a pianist, but also because of his con- | nection with the New England Conservatory of Music, in Boston, where e taught during the years 1891-3. As a composer, he still awaits the recognition that is dué him, There is hardly any doubt that it was he who led Arnold Schoenberg into more advanced paths. However, Schoen- berg progressed in them beyond the point where Busoni felt that he could follow the disciple. Now Schoenberg, in turn, is gathering pupils around him in Vienna, and has founded a school, the influence of which is being felt even in America among some of the youngest iconoclasts. * ok kK 3 N interesting anecdote is being told that reveals the genuine apprecia- tion by one great artist of another. It concerns Michael Bohnen, German basso of the Metropolitan Opera Company, and Feodor Chaliapin, Russian basso. The former, it seems, was given a ring by the ex-Kaiser of Germany with the inscription engraved on it, “To the greatest basso srom his emperor.” This was, naturally, a treasured possession of Mr. 3ohnen’s. When, however, Mr. Bohnen heard Chaliapin sing an operatic performance he took off the ring and vowed he would never wear it again. He gave.the ring to Chaliapin, asking him to wear it. Chaliapin was creatly touched by this tribute from a brother artist and proudly wears the ring. 5 o %% el A N . ENRY COWELL, the American composer, is best known for his piano music and the effective use he makes in it, not only of the fingers, but the fists and arms, as tone-producing media. In a recent number °“. the Sackbut (London) Mr. Cowell writes on “The Value of Eclecticism, hich hardly needed demonstration. He points out very aptly that there is only one: feature difficult to understand in the various viewpoints of people with eclectic tastes, “and that is their entire lack of sympathy with cach other. Why should one be accused of insincerity because of writing modern music and at the same time liking classical music?” Mr. Cowell might as well ask why one should write “vers libre” or “polyphonic prose” and like detective stories—if they are good ones. 3 * x FCHARD STRAUSS has completed a piano concerto with orchestra, the solo part being written for left hand only. The work was com- posed for the Viennese pianist, Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm in the war. The concerto is conceived as a “Parergon to the Symphonia domestica.” The first performance, under the direction of Fritz Busch, is to take place next season in Dresden. * K k% N her recent visit to America Miss Ursula Greville stopped in Chicago and met Mr. Frederick A. Stock, the successor of Theodore Thomas. Here are her reflections on the occurrence: “Meeting Frederick Stock is like seeing the Dolomites for the first time. The rugged grandeur and simplicity, the gentle kindness, his grip on modern affairs, leave me with lasting impression. His is the personality which makes you fight to ex- pres; best that is in you. The failures you tell him about are so many stepping stones to the triumphs that are to come. His verbal advice to. any youngster would be to become hard, so that the nasty knocks of life would pass one by, but his eyes, as he speaks, belie his tongue. Though fate might be unkind enough to prevent my meeting Mr. Stock again, I shall ever have the vision of that genial. generous and strong personality.”” Mr. Stock will probably conduct the first concert that is to be given next Autumn in the Library Hall of Chamber Music, now under construc- tion. i * ¥ ILHELM FURTWANGLER is to conduct one of the three concerts to be given by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in Washing-| ton next Winter. In connection with this news, it is interesting to read what a German critic had to say about the conductor’s recent appearance in Berlin: “Having returned from England and the United States, Furt- wangler seems to have lost something of his good taste in forming his programs; he adopts the method of heaping together all possible and incoherent things in a philharmonic scheme. As in all other respects he seems to have become more simple, more free from pose than ever, he will surely very soon resume his former habitual happy choice of programs. Let every one join in prayer that this resumption may have been effected by the time Mr. Furtwangler visits Washington. CONCERTS Milton Schwartz, violinist, the National Theater, 3:30 p.m. today.

Milton Schwartz, young local violin- ist will appear in recital at the Na- tional Theater this afternoon at 3:30. A student of the violin need no long- er go to Europe to achieve genuine artistry.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807- 1882) enriched our literature by a number of poems founded on folk story, legend, and history. Among the best known are “Tales of a Way- side Inn.” “Hiawatha,” “The Cour ship of Miles Standish” and “Paul Re- vere's Ride.” The last mentioned has | been set to music by Carl Busch| who has, to a remarkable degree, caught the spirit of this inspiring poem. Mr. Busch was born in Den: mark in 1862 and came to America in 1887. Since 1912 he has conducted the Kansas City Symphony Orches- tra. “Paul Revere's Ride” is consld- ered one of his best efforts. ‘The texture of the music is extraor- dinary in the richness of its dra- matic, poetical, and pictorial sugges- | tion. The rhythms and keys change frequently, but so naturally as to be! practically imperceptible. The open- ing chords of the orchestra attract at once, since they suggest the initial wrs of “The Star Spangled Banner.” ver and anon there is u recurrence | of this theme. Following this a solo recitative claims our attention with “Listen, my children, and you shall | hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.” After some work by the | chorus, we hear Paul Revere say to his friend, “I the British march by | year chool and more recently as the “pre- | land or sea from the town tonight, hang a lantern aloft in | signal light.” the soloist tells how { mounted to the old belfry tower above velopments. appears a “line of black that d floats on the rising tide bridge of hoats.” Meanwhile, | opposite shore Paul | fmpatiently, waiting for the signal.
