The symphony i rich to excess in ideas and varied treatment, aud has been played before by the society a few years ago. Mr. Bergmann in it seemed not to have suMiclent consideration for his devoted followers for the tempo in the scherzo and iinale was something terribie. An army of Paganims could not do justice to the fmmensely dimeult string passages tn both those movemouts at tie rate in which they were driven, and some parts of the seherzo were merely @ scramble among the vio- Iins, Miss Mehlig played the concerto with ber usual delicacy, finish and spirituele expression, and gave the Interpojated cadenze by Hans von Bulow with spirit and compleieness, This cadenza is a truly great work, and a long one, too, for the oeceasion, exiending over — eight pages of manuscript, but it has as much relorence to the concerto as the Wedding Mareh from “Midsummer Night's Dream’? would have in the Heroic Symphony. We are willing to absolve Wagner from many of bis cipital sins against music, on account of the magnificent finale he gave last night, It was sung by the Arion Scciety (mixed chorus), with tenor and baritone solos by Messrs. Candidus and Reminertz, e BLyle, instrumentation, coloring and effects are entire! those of “Lohengrin.” ‘Ihe solos were beyond tb powers of the two gentemen to whom they were entrusted, lying wholly in the upper regiaters of both voices and calling forth str.dent eforts whlch few voices aro capabie of sustaming. ‘there were many palpame breaks in the render- ing last night. The instrumentation, especially in the episodial passage characierized by the true Wagnel ‘mi Re- miniscences of Weber came in oce.stonally. des: work is rather fragmentary, bat goud taroughout, The Danish composer has jew equals in Barope at the present day, and he is & masterly in- lerpreter of any subject. If anything could surpass in pure muscat insanity ihe Dante symphony of Liszt ih woul be the salection from his oratorio played and sung last might. Ip is the Veriest nonsense that ever entered the human mind on the score of music. Commenctug with a sore of introductory breakdown for the tromboues it wanders, bellows, strides aud indulges tn the most extraordinary pranks, 31, Elizabeth of Hungary must have been @ martyr of the iirst Water, iT she suffered one-half of what the audtiors of her musical biogra- hy endure wheuev.r tuey are coulpelled to listen to i. The lastnotes of the dying swan are said to be the sweetest, So ii was with the fuale of the last concert of the Philharmon Soetety. Beethoven’s overture is the of the four he wrote under — the name — of “Fidetio” or “Leonora,” being more spontaneously melodious and addres-ing itself io every capa- ble of apprectating music, Now that the soc! has cl sed its labors for the seasun, a few words of ad- vice would not be lvappropriate. Let them pay more attention to their programmes and have nothing but first class music on them, Liszt should be entirely thrown overboard, with the sole exception of his ‘Preludes.’ careful in their seleotton of solow doors against mere amateurs, Su ists as Mills, Mehliz and Ole Bull, and such yor as Parepa aud Keilogy, are always welcome to the pudlic, but amateurs shout be compelied to seek other occasions to display their crateness. Again, Wheuever there is occasion for choral singing, let as have some of Meyerbeer's or Weber's operatic Jinales, or even nose of tie Italian masters, and let the choruses be properly placed, so that they may not be overpowered by the orchestra, Las! we decidedly object to the prograinmes furmened to the audience, They explain nothing, aud treat of great works as if everybody understood all about them. Even the minstrela and burlesque thea- trea do more to satisfy their patrous. Let h progromine — hat a condensed jon of each work, s0 that the e can Know What they are Lstening to.
