MPORTANT among the musical notes of the week is the fact that only the other day Mr. Kindler went bag and baggage over to the Arts Club, and that the Arts Club is considorably honored thereby; that Mns. Lawrence Townsend has returned to this city and is more than busy planning what shall be what at the Mayflower when her morn- ing musicales have their day; that a certain prominent teacher is harassed by the prospect of teaching her pupils in the open air, since her studio isn’t hers any more; that there will be well over 50 concorts this Winter without in- cluding the Friday Morning Club’s weekly ses- sions; that the great Yvonne Gall will sing here this season; that the sale of tickeis for the National Symphony Orchestra is said to be well over enormous; that McCall Lanham will do his annual songfest at the Chevy Chase school tonight; that Miss Marjorie Lowe wasn't lost at all, but merely moving into her studio by degrees and prenaring for the Winter's mon- soons; that the Arts Club will burst into music on October 15 with a recital by Anton and Priska Kaspar, and that any one who can play any kind of a musical instrument will have a chance to play it this Winter with other members; thai Arthur Judson said re- cently: “Bad times in general mean good times for music,” and that there will be a 25 per cent fncrease in concerts throughout the country this year; that many composers are under the fmpression that their works are being spon- sored by the niusic division of the Bicentennial Committee when as a matter of fact they have only been “accepted”.and filed for refer- ence; that Yehudi Menuhin is recovering from having had his apperdix removed and that his manager says his playing will suffer in no- wise by it; that Hanya Holm has inaugurated a Mary Wigman dance school in New York in Steinway Hall, where true devotees of the Wig- man muse may learn their all, and that an interesting local radio concert series will stait soon boasting the services of some of the best of the local musical intelligentsia. OROTHY DE MUTH WATSON, whose resi- denoce is at 1605 Kennedy place, is receiv- ing the manuscripts subritted in the current national music contest of the National League of American Pen Women. Mrs. Watson is chairman of the department of music of the League. This contest calls for a choral work scored for at least 10 instruments, exclusive of the piano, which has neither been previously published or publicly performed. The prize is $100, and all manuscripts submitted must bear . fictitious names, with the real name and ad- dress of the contestant in a sealed envelope. The contest closes December 31. It is said to be the hope of Mrs. Watson and of Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton, national president of the league, that the winning choral work will be of such outstanding merit as to warrant its production next Spring in this city in a na- - tional concert to be staged by the league dur- THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

FPurther information Continued on Thirteenth Page Wk EOPOLD STOKOWSKI has selected for the first of four concerts to be given by the Philadelphia Orchestra this season in Washington a program of compo- sitions by six of the great masters who dominated music during the seventeenth and early eighteent: centuries in Germany, England, Italy and France. The ooncert will be given promptly at 8:45 p.m., in Constitution Hall on Tuesday, October 13, and in accordance with the rule established during previous sea- sons, the doors will be closed at the beginning of the program and not re-opened to late com- ers until the intermission. Two of the numbers scheduled are being played for the first time this year—the over- ture to Rameau’s tragic opera, “Castor et Pol- lux,” and a Choralvorspiel by Bach, “Aus tiefer Noth.” Jean Baptiste Lulli, who, born a Florentine, has been called the actual founder of French grand opera, is represented on the program with five selections from his operas and opera- ballets. Antenio Vivaldi, ene of the outstanding mas- ters of instrumental music in the early eighte eenth century, has listed in the great number of his published compositions one entitled “Estro armon Oco,” 12 concertos for four vio- lins, two violas, cello and organ bass (Opus 3.) The work played at this performance is No. 11 of the 12 concerti grossi for string orchestra in Vivaldi's “Estro armonico, Opus 3.” There are three movements with a spirited introduce tion, the liveliness of the first and last move= ments serving as setting for the melodic intere mezzo. The name “Purcell” signifies in England the family of musicians in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries which included among its members the greatest and most original of English composers. Henry Purcell has been described as “the last of the tribe of genuinely creative English musicians.” His “Trumpet March” is played this season for the first time in six years, Just as Rameau derived to some extent from Lulli, so Hande!, the German contemporary of Purcell, came to appropriate effects and often themes frcm the scores of the English come poser. Some authorities state that the de- lightful “Water Music,” written on the occasion of a royal barge party upon the Thames in July, 1717, was the means of restoring the composer to the King's favor. The water music is a serenade in the form of a suite of dances, tunes, airs and other movements intro- duced by the overture. Five Bach numbers close the program. They are the “Fugue in G Minor,” the “Prelude in E Flat Minor,” two Choralvorspiel transcriptions— “Wir glauben all an einen Gott™ and “Aus tiefer Noth,” and the “Toccata and Pugue in D Minor.” .
