An excellent example of the way in which English can be sung to be a real delight was the singing of simple ballads by Marjorie Moody, young American lyric soprano who was here with Mr. Sousa's famous band. Her enunciation was clear and clean-cut, yet she did not sacrifice her tonal quality to achieve this fine enunciation. Mr. Sousa showed much interest in the plans for the Spring festival and announced himself willing to do anything he could to aid in making the event a success.

HE current musical season will af- ford Washington opportunity to witness the elevation to the musical purple of George Gershwin, the bril- liant young genius who left off the composition of such ultra-popular “hits” as “Swanee,” “A Stairway to Paradise” and “Do It Again” to evolve his revolutionary treatment of a jazz theme that the world now knows as “Rhapsody In Blue.” . This Ingenious work for piano and was the first composition of its kind ever heard in America, or elsewhere, for that matter, and it not only lifted Gershwin into prominence as one of a small L who were frankly “experimenting in American music’” but the work itselt was given unusual critical attention as a signboard that pointed the direc tion in which American popular music may proceed to more fertile pastures. It was not until the present season, however, that Gershwin rose to prom- inence as the leader in such a move- ment, for this season Gershwin has not only composed a rerarkable op- eratic work of the same order, but he symphonic | nd of composers | | which was~composed especially for | the New York Symphony Orchestra, | will be played for the first time in | Washington by t organization a Poli's December S, when Mr. Ger: | wing himself will appear playing the plano part composition. | composer nor Mr. {confided the details of Gershwin's new operatic composition to the public, | but Mr. Damrosch, on returning to {New ¥York from Bar Harbor last week, immediately went into consul- tation_with Mr. Gershwin and heard | the “Concerto in F™* for the firs Vhiteman {tation he was really enthusiastic: | "“I consider Mr. Gershwin's new composition to be a highly important step in genuine American music,” he | said. yming as it does from h | pen, it naturally has its roots firmly planted in our native soil.

JOSEF KASPAR WITH HIS YOUNGEST PROTEGE, IDA MINOVICH. \ ‘ASHINGTON has a violinist in her musical midst who is a mu- siclan of wide knowledge and ability, Josef Kaspar, a leader here for many vears In musical endeavors. Mr. Kaspar has not contented himself with sincere eff: the Capital. Lut also has established @& unique “natural symphony” at his country Lome in the beautiful moun- tains of Bluemont that look over the Shenandoah Valley on one side and the Loudon Valley on the other. Here, on his own speclal mountain, Mr. Kaspar has labored for the better part of twenty years. taking the stones from the flelds, making huge walls ten feet wide, and experimenting with one kind of tree life after another to find trees sturdy enough to with- stand the rigors of life on such land. Arter a long, winding climb in an auto, one enters the “allegro” move- ment of Mr. Kaspar's symphony through a generous, wide gate. Here are the cathedral spires of towering firs and pines. In every spot where there is a lovely view tor can rest on a little wooden joy the scemes. And there Euch. At the lower edge of the pine grove lies the change into the ‘*andante” t of the symphony—the *do- where the simple home lies huddled in the lap of the hill with zay splatches of flowers encircling it and_colorful fruit in the vegetable garden near the barns where the cows and horses are housed. The keynote of the andante movement s set by the song of the litde epring that ripples in coloratura cadenzas over the stones and under vine-em- broidered rocks. It is a very real ceremony that is observed before each meal when the family and guests meet at the spring for a drink. Just across the road from the home, al- most hidden by the sprawling branches of the apple orchard trees, is a tiny “temple of musi Just built this summer to give the young students of the violln who are especially gifted and whom Mr. Kaspar frequently en- tertains @t his home there during the are many of this sort in| and en-| summer a chance to practice in a studio atmosphere. On a bright autumn Sunday morn- ing it is with the real spirit of ad- venture in the air that one ventures on down Mr. Kaspar's mountain be- yong the looking-glass boundaries of his ten-foot stone wall through the gate that sounds the trumpet call of the “finale” of this symphony—that leads the imaginative to “Walhalla.” Here there are many trees of many kinds and huge piles of stones such as the Valkyries used as lookouts over the battleflelds of the world. There is one huge stone and a tree nearby consecrated to the memory of Emerson, a_ favorite author of Mr. Kapar's. The stone is said to bear a _remarkable resemblance to that which actually marks the great writ- er's grave in Massachusetts. Great pains have been ‘:ken in this natural woodland to train the little creeks where they should go to make two little fish ponds and generally ‘ndd the necessary trills to the finale mo- tive. Many winding side paths lead enticingly into woody hollows or up to the helghts of Walhalla, where a great panorama bursts before the gaze with all the powerful beauty of a climax of drums and clashing cym- bals. It s a stupendous achievement for one man who has done it all alone, only pausing between whiles to not | neglect his beloved violin. Born near Tabor. in the romantic country of Bohemia, Josef Kaspar came to America when six years old. His family settled in Baltimore, where he studied the violin with the best teachers there then, Gustave Rose and Franz Bornschein. At the age of 16 he ient back to_his native country and entered the Prague Con. servatory, where he studied for four vears under Anton Benewitz, who was also the teacher of the now cele- brated pedagogue, Ottokar Sevcik, whose technical works have revolu: tionized violin technique. From Prague the young Josef Kaspar went to Paris to study with Emil Sauret, great french violinist, in order to get acquainted with the French art of violin playing. After returning to America he was for one American Union Thursday evening | While we are accustomed to find in| these programs, “Played for the first | time in the United States,” very sel dom have the programs contained as | | many new numbers. | Carolyn Manning, the contralto In | Thursday’s concert, is a member of | the St. Patrick’s Church Choir.

It was here that he made his debut as a soloist. As a member of that o chestra he cherishes above every- | thing else the acquaintance of the first_flutist, who was no other than the beloved Southern gentleman, poet and musician, Sidney Lanfer. It was My, Lanier who was the inspiration of a new symphony played in Wash- ington for the first time last year, written by Gustav Strube, conductor of the present Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. In 1881 Mr. Kaspar married the gifted singer Annie Roemer, and came to Washington as leader of the Ford Opera House orchestra. Shortly after that he was appointed violin teacher at Mrs. Somers’ school, now Mount Vernon Seminary, where his wife was the vocal teacher. He held this po- sition for 40 years, resigning only re- cently after a severe illness two years ago. In a short while his general violin classes got so large that he had to resign from the theater and de- vote his whole time to teaching, which he loves. In 1886 Mr. Kaspar organized a stringed orchestra, the Wilhelmj Club, consisting of eight first and the same number of second violins, four violas. three cellos and two bass viols. The best works were studied and three concerts were glven annually. The outstanding feature of these concerts was the rendering of the theme and variations of “The Maiden,” Schu- bert’s quartet. After Mr. Kaspar was appointed conductor of the Georgetown. Or- chestra he merged the best players of the Wilhelmj Club into this or- ganization, which afforded a larger scope musically. He was for 14 years conductor of that organization, which was brought to a high state of effi- clency. All of the Beethoven. sym- phonies excepting the fourth and ninth, were performed, as were the best of the Haydn and Mozart and many of the modern symphonies. The organization had many popular solo- ists from abroad and most of our prominent local vocalists and instru- mentalists, who co-operated freely, as this was the only means that ‘they had to appear with orchestrgl ac- companiement. Such solois as Emma Juch, Ernestine Schumann- Heink, Max_Heinrichs, Franceska Kaspar and Mrs. H, Clay Browning. vocalists; Anton Gloetzner, Johr Porter Lawrence, Henry Xander, p! anists; Anton Kaspar, Johann Miersch and Leonora “von Stosch (Lady Speir, who won the first prize at "the Brussels Conservatory after two years spent there and was award- ed this prize before an audience that included Mr. Josef Kaspar, her earlier instructor), violinists, and many others. In 1893 Mr. Kaspar became conduc- tor of the Washington Choral Soclety, succeeding Dr. Damrosch, which po- sition he held for about 14 years. The activities of that society and the part he took in them were described in an article which appeared recently in The Star. Mr. Kaspar stated that it was a great pleasure to work with an organization that had for its motive the highest aims and was. brought to .him as an extremel other composition called “Concerto in work should prove a sensation GEORGE GERSHWIN AND WALTER DAMROSCH. F,” which, in Mr. Damrosch’s words. “transplants the atmosphere of comic opera and dance music to the classic ground of the symphonic concerto.” Both of Gershwin’s new composi- tions are scheduled for presentation in Washington this Winter. His “Blue Monday Opera” will be the featured number of tho program which Paul Whiteman's Contert Orchestra will present at the Washington Audito- rium, December 12, as an outstanding attraction in Mrs. Wilson-Greene’s series of evening concerts there this season, while the “Concerto in F.” a high state of perfection by such -onductors as Harry Sherman and Jr. Damrosch. Mr. Kaspar is now devoting all his iime to teaching. The accompanying picture shows him with his latest protege, little Ida Minovich eight years old. Mr. Kaspar is very fond of little folks and usually has two or three with him in the Summer home on his mountain. Miiton Schwarz, 14-year-old pupil of Mr. Kaspar, made a successful New York debut as a violinist last Winter and, following a second recital there, came to his home city, Washington. for a recital that was equally successful in_establishing talented and well trained young artist, Isaac Min- ovich, older brother of the petite Ida, is another especially gifted and ear- nest young student of Mr. Kaspar's who is well known in local concert progev.ma. : Describing his own reaction to the work, Mr. Gershwin said: “It is absolutely pure music—a transcri tion of mood rather than of 2 definite subject. This is the first composition in which I have adhered to a strictly symphonic form. 1 do not believe that the forms which the old masters discovered can be im- proved upon, for there are inevitable sequences that music naturally fol- lows. At the same time I have en- deavored to retain the elasticity which modern evolution demands. 4The first movement is quick and pulsating, representing the restless, young, enthusiastic spirit of the age. The second movement is in a quiet mood, utilizing the atmosphere of the American ‘blues,” but in a much purer form than that in which they are usu- ally treated. The third movement re- verts to the quick style of the first— an orgy of rhythm, starting violently and keeping in the same pace through- out. It sums up all that has gone be- fore in the manner of the classical concerto.” George Gershwin himself, the man who “made an honest woman out of Jazz,” was born in New York City and received all his musical education there. He Is only 26 year old and the first of the twenty-odd .usical come- dies which have come from His pen was produced when Gershwin was only 19. In addition to the “Concerto In F,” “Blue, Monday Opera” and “Rhapsody in Blue.” he has composed a sheaf of preludes for planoforte and a piece for strong quartets.
