Ld MU HIS being that mellow time of year when embryonic musicians may be seen struggling along the ave- nues weighed down by music cases and ambitions, it seems only right to wish them the most pros- perous of seasons, as well as the schools and colleges in which they are being taught. Also, since George Engles predicted that the wilting trend of business had | nothing to do with the festive music plans of the year, one hopes that well wishing, but pecu- niarily downhearted parents will not bring out the switch to keep their children away from the lyric haunts to which they had been accustomed. All this is brought to mind in view of the fact that many people forget the all.importance of the education of youth as far as the arts and manners of music are concerned. Washington, however, more perhaps than any other city, considering its irregular bounda- ries, seems to be keenly alive to this fact. Already scales and me- trical dissonances may be heard floating in the autumnal breezes, and publicity trumpets have blast- ed forth from every musical salon to announce that their meritori- ous activities have been resumed. A veritable bulwark of instructors and pupils has become part o(‘ the city, coming, it would seem, from every land. The famed mu- | sicians that are announced as vis- | iting in one school or another: during the Winter have assumed | the proportions of a visiting Pa- risian Conservatoire. * %k Xk ¥ In the matter of musical educa- tion for the young and hopeful, there is one outstanding person- age—not of this city—of whom one cannot help but think at this time. Ernest Schelling, called “the musical godfather of America's younger generation,” is about to ume his children’s concerts with the New York Philharmonic Society for the eighth season. The success of these concerts has | widened Mr. Schelling’s scope of activities so that now he has to travel to Boston and to Philadel- phia to repeat his educational programs for the oncoming gen- eration. In addition, he has promised this year to give four symphonic concerts for young peo- ple in Montclair and Orange, N. J. Mr. Schelling’s innovations in methods concerning the teaching | of children have attracted wide attention and much favorable comment. Although it is no myth that children of a tender age are first taken to these concerts with battle in their eyes and a numb- ness in the iron grip of the par- ent, it is also true that after a few doses of Mr. Schelling’s mu- sical wisdom they are not only mollified but somewhat eager to| return—and do, as the box-office records would seem to indicate. Recently this important artist and educator explained some of his ideas. He said: “In this age of mechanization, | it rests with the intelligent lis- | teners as ta.whether or not the| {re:t institutions for furthering| he highest in music, such as the symphony orchestras, shall con- tinue to exist. To my mind, our orchestras should not be support- ed by wealthy music patrons. My dream for the future is that each listener shall desire to take his share of the responsibility of | maintaining the symphony or-| i | tener one must start with the! children. Children’s natural de- | sire for music shows itself con- | stantly, but few have any oppor- | tunity to hear the best, especially | orchestral music. The child’s thirst for good music should be encouraged. He should be taught | in as simple a manner as possible | the make-up of an orchestra, the | different instruments and their place in the orchestral picture, the interpretation of the master- pieces, stories about the compos- ers, their lives, ambitions, achieve- ments and compositions. All this will broaden the child’s outlook on music, stimulate his interest. To| inculcate in a child a love of| beauty will have permanent re- sults for the individual and for | music in general. “The children of today are the | audiences of tomorrow. Upon | them the future of music in the United States largely depends.” | * % ¥ *x Operatic circles were disturbed recently by the cold water thrown on them by John Erskine, presi- dent of the Juilliard School of | Music. Said Mr. Erskine about the opera: “I see no future for it, and I don’t think it has even a | matic tenor, from La Scala, Milan, will { department at the United Artists’ stu- present”’; and with that he dis- missed the now ruffled art rather peremptorily. The Musical Courier, rising to arms, answered this editorially ras. develop this type of lis- | tobes SIC sored by the Manhattan Opera Co. in 1923. Incidentally, Frederich Schorr, who sang the role of the Dutchman then, will do it over again this season for the Metro- politan. Another revival will be Verdi's “La Forza del Destino,” absent for two years, and in which Rosa Ponselle and Martinelli will have chief singing honors. ‘The novelties for this year seem especially interesting. Besides Deems Taylor's “Peter Ibbetson,” which will have its world premier in February, embellished by a no- table cast including Bori, Johnson and Tibbett, there will be Mous- sorgski's “The Fair at Sorot- chinsk,” never before heard op- eratically in this country, al- though various concert sopranos have used excerpts from it. And Felice Lattuada’s “Le Preziose Ri- dicole,” adapted, as may be imag- ined, from Moliere’s comedy, “Les THE SUNDAY STAR,~WASHINGTON, D. €. OCTOBER 5, Precieuses Ridicules,” with set- tings to be executed by Robert Edmund Jones and a leading role to be sung by Miss Bori. Other items and operas of note will in- clue Von Suppe’s “Boccaccio,” Mascagni’s “Iris” and Rossini’s “William Tell.” X K x Word has just come, too, from the vicinity of Stamford, ConnA,l that Composer Deems Taylor, who finished the libretto and score for his “Peter Ibbetson” in July, has completed the orchestration with the exception of the last four scenes of the third and last act. Furthermore, it seems that Lu- crezia Bori, Edward Johnson and Lawrence Tibbett, the fortunate principals-to-be, have been re- hearsing their parts for some weeks and that the chorus will commence its work in another few days. One can't but help think of the lovely picture of Prof. Taylor at his typewriter, throwing the newly printed copy out of the door to the waliting pressmen, with anx- ious singers lingering nearby for the gradual fulfillment of their parts; the chorus somewhere in the offing champing at the bit, and Mr. Gatti-Cassaza beaming in hfs managerial lair at all the excitement that attends the com- position of this opera. Caruso Fellowship to Be Sponsored by League TH‘I: Caruso American Memorial Foun- dation, Inc., has announced that it will co-operate with the National Music League in its annual series of competi- | Chestra as a harpist, is among the m tive auditions to be held in New York | interesting of the newcomers.

Announcement of this was made yes- terday by Mrs. Wilson-Greene, follow- ing the receipt of advices from W. H. Brennan, manager of the orchestra, who made a flying trip from Boston to New York during the past week to wel- come Serge Koussevitzky, conductor of the orchestra, back from Europe. Hofmann, it was stated, will play Beethoven's piano concerto as soloist fou SERGE KousseviTzky-Conductor with the orchestra, while Zimbalist will play the Beethoven violin concerto on another pfi:mnm of the Beethoven fes- tival. al arrangements are still in- complete, and the dates on which each artist will play have not been deter- mined, but it is understood the Beetho- ven Festival will be given on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday evenings, Decem- ber 2, 3 and 5, and on Saturday after- noon, December 6. The arrangement whereby Hofmann and Zimbalist will be presented as solo- ists still leaves the Saturday afternoon performance of Beethoven's “Ninth Sym- phony,” with chorus of 250 voices, as the probable high light of the series of four performances, but it is expected that the appearance of these two famous virtuosi as soloists will greatly increase an already widespread interest in the Boston Symphony's celebration of its fiftieth anniversary. Incidentally, the Boston Symphony's fiftieth season was formally opened last night with a Nation-wide broadcast of the orchestra, with Koussevitzky con- ducting, as one of the features of Mas- sachusetts’ tercentenary celebration. The first regular concert of the anniver- Hall, Boston, next Friday evening, and will be repeated the following day. ‘The concerts of October 10 and 11 at Symphony Hall in Boston will be con- ducted by Sir George Henschel, the first conductor the Boston Symphony ever had and the man who conducted the first concert of that famous or- ganization, on October 22, 1881.

It will in- clude Beethoven's overture, “Dedica- “Orpheus,” Haydn's “Symphony in B Flat,” the ballet music from Schubert's osamunde,” & scene from Buch's dysseus” and the prelude to Wag- ner's “Mastersingers of Nuremberg.” This program differs from the first rogram only in the closing overture, t was hoped that Miss Annie Louise Cary, the soloist at the opening concert years ago, might be present, but since that is not possible, Margaret Mat- zenauer will be the soloist. Philadelphia Orchestra Personnel Assembled 'OURTEEN new musicians were an- nounced in the various divisions of the Philadelphia Orchestra when the personnel assembled to begin rehearsals | for the thirty-first season last Monday, | under the baton of Leopold Stokowski. | Edna Phillips, the second woman ever | to be engaged by the Philadelphia Or-, ore | Miss | | Phillips, a pupll of Carlos Salzedo ai the Curtis Institute of Music, replaces Vincent Fanelli, )r., former first harpist wi.h the orchestra.

Friends of Music Annaunce Soloists HE soloists who will take part in the held as soon thereafter as practicable. T Bhaws toAppeariWith Denishawn Dancers AN interesting announcement of today is that Ted Shawn, prominent American dancer, will make a special appearance here with the Denishawn Dancers at the Shubert-Belasco for one performance, Wednesday afternoon, Oc- tober 22. under the management of William A. Albaugh. Owing to his numerous individual en- | complete the forces for this event.

The pregram will consist of solo and ensemble numbers, embracing many of the novelties which he brought back from Germany and Spain. Cblef in the support will be Ernestine Day, who has been his partner in many of his latest creations. Philadelphia Opera Co. ) Opens Season With "Aida THZ Philadelphia Grand Opera Co. will open its season Thursday eve- ning, October 16, at the Academy of Music with a gala performance of first American performance of Janacek’s “Festival Mass” at the open- ing concert of the Society of the Friends of Music at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, Sunday afternoon, October 26, have been announced by Artur Bodanzky, musical director of the soclety. They are Editha Fleischer, soprano; Karin~ Branzell, contralto; FPriedrich Schorr, baritone—all three of the Metro- politan’ Opera Co—and Dan Gridley, tenor. The chorus of the Friends of | Music, trained by Walter Wohllebe, and the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra will Bodanzky will conduct. An all-Czech program has been pre- pared by Mr. Bodanzky for the opening | concert, the Janacek novelty being pr Flelscher. They are “Hore Goit mein Flehen, O hor auf mein Gebet.” “An den Wassern Babylons sassen wir und weinten,” “Gott erhore mein Gebet” and “Herr nun sing ich Dir ein neues Lied.” Pupil o‘{étojov:ki Music Head in Films Verdi's “Aida.” Anna Roselle will sing the title role, and Aroldo Lindi, dra- be Phadames. The Philadelphia Grand ra Co. ballet of 100 cers, with Catherine Littlefield as premier danseuse, will be ;mulnz the features of this initial pro- uction. with the choice words: “Mozart, Gluck, Weber, Gretry, Rameau, Auber, Verdi, Puccini, Strauss and Wagner thought differently and 80 do Messrs. Gatti-Casazza and Otto Kahn.” And so, inciden-| tally, do Washingtonians, if one remembers the siege at the Fox | Theater last Spring when the Metropolitan came to town. There is very little question that in this vicinity the opera causes some- thing of a pandemonium. Whether because of its infrequency or be- cause it is a novelty in the form of entertainment, or whether, in-| deed, because even the roaring of | the radio has not been able to de- | stroy its charms. At any rate, if | the local cohorts of enthusiasts that greeted the opera last sea-| son may be counted upon as an index, the opera will never lose a | future or an admirer in shis city. Therefore, it is with interest | that one looks over the new pros- pects to be offered by the Metro- politan in the 1930-31 season, with the idea that although this gen- eration may not be teeming with Verdis and Puccinis, it is still alive to the best in music and anxious to _resurrect as well as produce. Foremost among the revivals at this Thirty-ninth street opera house, which seems to be under- going destruction about as rapidly as the still stalwart Albert Hall in London, is Wagner's “Der Flie- gende Hollaender,” which will be krought to light November 1, with the flery Jeritza as Senta.
