Mr. Patterson is outspoken and hits his ¥ y on their heads. “Men like Cadman, Carpenter, Whithorne, Tawor and many others who have proved their possession of the tune ! giftz(which is at the basis of all musical success) could write democratic / : % Eoa A | \@erican music in large forms if they would accustom themselves to a Vi ; : e & cch@iine respect and love for the American public.

For America demands, above all things, definiteness and fofce of emotional content, straightforward simplicity. America loves humor and burlesque, but hates cleverness. And MacDowell and Chad- witk, like Cadman, after writing some exquisite melodies of genuine American color, turned out serious music of small melodic worth and of small emotional content. An enormous literature of American music al- ready exists, in combination with which the Smerican’ taste, which has guided selection from the foreign literature, has created a perfectly visible d tangible American idiom. This idiom is not strongly characteristic, | vet it has certain unmistakable features—or should I'say a certain un- mistakable ‘feel, which one may quickly perceive but find impossible to fescribe?

Few people will realize, at the mention of the title, that the hook of the opera is taken from the novel, “Gosta Berling,” by Selma Lagerlof. The librettist, Arturo Rossato, is said to have done the adapta ion of the story to the stage with intelligence and good cffect. The o estration of Zandonai is spoken of highly, but the music, on the whole, s not seem to have made as strong an impression as did the libretto. * LYRIL SCOTT, the extraordinary and eccentric composer and pianist, has been writing a series of articles for the Sackbut (London) in ch he deals with “The Influence of Music on Character and Morals.” . in his survey, has now reached Wagner. It was certain to be g to see how Mr. Scott would look upon the character and orals of Wagner as distinguished from his wonderful music. Mr. Scott’s genious explanation is worth quoting: “Hitherto no mention has been made relative to the connection between the personal character of Wag- ner and his message, and, as the omission may give rise to misconcep- tions, a few words should be added to this chapter. The popular idea of Wagner is that of an immoral man who was separated from his first wife, arried on an intrigue with a married woman, then cventually united himg, self to a divorcee who abandoned her husband in order to marry him. Thus the question will be asked, how could a man of such casy principles exercise that spiritualizing influence we have ascribed to him in this ar- ticle> And the answer will, no doubt. appear to many a strange one. Wag- 29 Vs so intent on the moral salvation of others that he had neither #*Me nor energy left to effect his own. Nevertheless, it is not to Wagner’s | actions we must look for the connection between his character and his work, but to his inner life, his soul, his aspirations; it is in these that we shall find the replica of his message.” Mr. Scott is a remarkable apologist. el o RINCE SERGE WOLKONSKY has published his memoirs. He was director of the Russian Imperial. Theaters from 18%9 until 1901. He as a man of great culture, broad vision and highly developed tastes for 1e. best in every art. Of the musical conditions in Russia during his vounger years he write “Italianism was at the height of art—the could not feel Russian music at all. Rimsky-Korsakoff called forth laugh- tervand derision. T was at the first performance of ‘Boris Godunof'; the opera failed completely aniid hisses and laughter. * * * As long as the Itallans were at Petersburg. the Russian opera could not develop.
