Sir Thomas' Beecham to Conduct N. Y. Symphony In Toscanini’s Place Iuness prevents Italian HCI’C in March—Music fOl’ Maestro From Coming “Wakefield" Masque—"The Moderns" in Discussion. By E. de S. Melcher. NNOUNCEMENT has been made by the T. Arthur Smith Concert Bureau that Arturo Toscanini will not be able to conduct the New York Philharmonic in its final symphony session of the season, when that orchestra comes here in March. This news comes through the advice of the maestro’s physicians, who have | warned him that he is in no con- dition to undertake symphonic activities. Further announce- ment from the directors of the| Philharmonic Society states that they have invited Sir Thomas Beecham to be guest conductor | for part of this period and that he will probably conduct the con- cert which is scheduled here for March 8. Another interesting item is that Otterino Respighi will come to this country to conduct dur- ing Toscanini's absence. and will present his new work, “Maria wiziaca,” in a world premiere during his visit to New York. Sir Thomas Beecham, the weil known London conductor and opera impresario, is not un- known to Washingtonians. He came here with the Philharmonic Orchestra back in the Fall of 1928. He is the leader of the Lon- | don Symphony Orchestra and is‘ particularly noted for having been artistic director of the Royal | Philharmonic Society from 1916- | 1919; for having introduced De- | lius’ orchestral works and operas | into England and organizing the | Delius festival in the Fall of 1929. | and for conducting Russian and English operas at Drury Lane and Covent Garden ]OHN TASKER HOWARD, au- ¢ thor of “Our American Mu- sic.” and music editor for United States George Washi ton Bicentennial Commission, has | prepared an unusually interest- in musical setting for Percy Mackay masque. “Wakefield,” which will be fi presented the night of February 21. at Con- stitution Hall. Folk songs, music from the classics and the works of American composers of t past and present are all repre- sented in_this setting The principal theme has been derived from the fourth move- ment of Dvorak's “New World Symphony” and is of especial inter not only on account of jts American associations, but also because it was original'y composed for performance in the music-drama, “The World Find- er.,” which was written by Percy Mackaye's father, Steele Mackaye. for his “Spectatorium,” which he erected at the World Fair in Chi- | cagn. This was unfortunately not performed at that time (due to the financial troubles of 1893). but later in the year was first of- fered by Anton Seidl and the Philharmonic Society in New York. Mr. Howard, who has arranged the folk and classical music, has also composed original music for some of its sequences. He has in- cluded in the various episodes such works as Stephen Foster's “0ld Folks at Home," the mtro-i duction to Edgar Stillman Kel:‘ ley's “New England Symphony,” | the “largo” from Edward Mac- | Dowell's “Sonata Tragica™; a “Federal March” by Reinagle, the | introduction to a cantata, “Land | of Our Hearts,” by George w. Chadwick, and an “Elegie.” by Frederick S. Converse. Other works of an incidental nature which help to sustain the alle-| gorical story-plot include the Schubert setting _for “Who Is Sylvia,” Thomas Tallis' “Canon and dance music such _as Bocch- erini's “Minuet,” a “Farandole” by Bizet and our own native the ng- Mozart or Wagner—remains great music, and all great music of the future must be based on this past. But if music is a living art today it must have something to say that has not been said before and that belongs to this century. We may have to put up with a good deal that seems impudent and ertravagant, but we can hardly aflord to close our ears. And an honest judgment will help, even if we have to change 1t later on. Mr. Stokowsky put it ad- mirably once, when he had 1ust con- ducted Schoenberg's five orchestral pieces: “If you like it, applaud: 1f you don't like it, hiss; if you are in- different, keep silent.” Very sincerely yours, MAUD G. SEWALL. And herewith the other side of the fenc-: Dear S This is to congratulate you ‘n your article in which you scored tite pro- gram given recently by the Phila- delphia Orchestra ( Stowkowsky's, not Retner's). A few more perfor—ancas like that and there will be a heary falling off in the sale of tickets next year. When I want noise, if ever, I can go to a boiler factory or sit close to a rivetting machine at work on a sky-scraper. and not feel that money has been taken out of my pocket. There is enough noise and discord in the world today without adding to it under the guise the P. S. O., led by the ome and only Leopold, who ought to know better. Strength to your arm, Faithfully yours, WILLOUGHBY READE. And now after last Tuesday's concert what is the verdict? More or less of the moderns? As far as this department is concerned a_decrease, but not an abolition, of “futurists” and more Horo- witzs and concertos, such as the Tschaikowsky. ok ok % MONG the most interesting musical works which have been produced recently, is the “Song of Faith,” which Joha Alden Carpenter has composed for the Bicentennial Commission. This work, for four-part chorus and orchestra, will soon have its initial performances round and about the country and should be welcomed with great enthusiasm. In pre-view—a stirring work. - AND now, at last Escudero— that gypsy wizard, who danced his way out of Spain into this country’s spotlight—will be seen “in the flesh” Tuesday. No more exciting artist has won his spurs since Wigman crashed to fame a year or so back. His press oracle says of him: “He moves like a streak of fire. His feet stab the floor with machinelike rapid- ity: he is a demon of rhythm™ And so Tuesday we will know— just what kind of a demon he is. * ok ox ok A SUDDEN and plaintive S O § comes to this desk.

Miss Ware. who studied with Hubay in Budapest and Sevcik in Vienna. has appeared as soloist with the Philadel- phia Orchestra and other well known musical organizations, both here and abroad In addition to Miss Ware, who plays first violin. the members of the quartet include Agnes Chase, second violinist: Inez Becker, violinist, and Mabel Dun- can, cellist. Mrs. Chase, who won a Yale Music School scholarship, studied in New York with Max Bendix. She was well known as a soloist and equally active in en- semble music in New York Miss Becker is a daughter pf Judge Lawrence Becker of Washington.

D’Aranyi, grand-niece of that prince of fiddlers, Joseph Joachim. will play the entire Mendelssohn “Céncerto in E Minor” for violin and orchestra. This young Hungarian violinist is sald to stand prominently in the fore- front of the greatest woman violinists of history by reason of her amazing knowledge of her instrument. her astonishing control of its resources and her individualism of style. When she plays the classics, her interpreta- tions are clothed in the correct style demanded by such compositions. One marvels, none the less, how she can transform herself, in a twinkling, from the mood of a Mozart concerto or an unaccompanied Bach selection _into the fiery zest of a Tzigane. Yelly d’Aranyi’s violin manner is that of her native Hungary: “con amore.” Mr. Kindler has selected the Webes Weingartner “Invitation to the Dance” as the first selection on this after- noon’s program. Today's concert, inci- Jentally. will mark its first performance in Washington. This will be followed by “Handel's Largo” with the d’Aranyi concerto coming third on the program. The fourth number will be the third movement (poco allegretto) from Brahm's “Third Symphony.” while Ravel's “Bolero” will close the program.

THE program of the National Sym- phony Orchestra’s sixth concert for children and young people, to be given at Central High School auditorium, at Thirteenth and Clifton streets north- west, next Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock. has not been announced, but Dorothy Gordon. famous singer of songs for children. will be soloist and will sing two groups of songs from the children’s songs of various nationali- ties, some of which will be sung by the audience with Miss Gordon leading and the orchestra accompanying. Mr. Kindler also proposes to discuss and demonstrate the dence movement in symphonic music and he will also |give a brief resume and demonstration of the part played in the orchestra by the percussion instruments. This last demonstration was so poguhrly Te- ceived at Central High School at the last Saturday morning concert Mr. Kindler has been requested to repeat it for the benefit of those who were unable to attend the February 6 concert. ESCUDERO DANCE RECITAL. VINCENTE ESCUDERO. Spain’s great gypsy dancer, will come to the National Theater Tuesday after- noon at 4:40 pm.

The partic- ular program which has caused | the most comment was the last one offered by Philadelphia’s Stokowsky. Various pleasant and unpleasant charges were made— and the net result was that when Mr. Reiner announced his last Tuesday’s program loud and bit- ter was the cry—both for and acainst. The following are the written opinions of two people who. as the saying goes. know what is what in the realm of music: Dear Sir: . Please do not find fault with Mr. Reiner because he offers a_modern . Russian program mext Tuesday! Even so, the general trend of pro- gram building jor Washington re- mains very conservative. This is true even of the Philadelphia Or- * chestra programs. taken as a whole. * For many years Mr. Stokowsky was almost the only visiting conductor who treated Washington audiences as if they were intelligently in- terested in mew music. But about two years ago he seems to have yeached the conclusion that Wash- ington wasn’t worth the trouble: that we only cared to hear what we had already, heard four or five times. And he gave us pretty nearly just that. If you look over the Phila- delphia programs given here in 1929~ 30-31 you will probably be surprised to see how little they venture. Th: only important novelty in the two years was Strawinsky's “Le Sacre du Printemps,” and that was 17 years old. This year has shown a more en- terprising spirit.
