SOCIETY IN EARLY AUTUMN Oubileo Day Marked an Epoch with Many of the Bwells, THEY TURNED OUT AND MADE IT A HOLIDAY Duliness of the Summer Season Paxses Awny with the Return of the Gny Ones Who Are Re- turning to Their Homes. Boclety always enjoys a holiday, and Jubi- les day was no exception. The day was per- fect and sfier a drive through Blmwood park the arrival at the fair grounds was quite ex- citing, cars running, people rushing to and fro, und such a good natured crowd. All those who had a rig or vehicle of any Kiod took advantage of it and flled it to its utmost capacity. Almost all of Omaha so- clety people were there, and although there was not much to see they cnjoyed the nov- elty of the situation, and the faultfinders were few and far between Probably the most attractive rig was that of Miss Dickenson, drawn by her dapple grays, containing a quartet of pretty girls in dainty attire, who were the Misses Wil- helmina and Pauline and En Crandell In other carrlages were noticed the follow- ing: Mr. and Mrs. Jo Millard and Miss Je sle, Mr. and Mrs. A, 5. Carter and Miss Himebaugh, Mr. Tler and Misses Edith and May, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Smith, Mrs. Cady, Bdith h and Helen Cady, Mr. Hoagland, Miss Wadleigh, Dr. and M ammers, Dr. Bridges, Mr. and Mrs. Victor White, Dr. and Mrs. Moore, Mrs. John Crelghton and Mies Emma, Mr. L. J. Drake and Miss Alice, Mrs, Turner, Miss Mary and Miss Kennedy, Mr. and Mrs, arry Cartan and Miss Marie Nash, Mrs, Clinton Briggs and Mr. Briggs, Mr. and Mrs. Brady, Mr. Kirkendall Mi Florence Durget, General and Mrs, Burt an Mrs. Offutt, Mr. Joseph Barker and son, Mr Cauffman, Mr. and Mre. Evans, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Rector, Mr. O. Williams and family, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Reed, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Marsh, Dr. Doherty and family, Mrs. Towle and family, Mr. Markel and guests, Mr. Darling, Messrs. Guiou, Doane, Orary, McMahon, Cowin, Colpetz: Burus and Mr. Shiverick, and Mr. George Burker and family. There were any number of others. Lowe Season after season dancing figures and formulas vary; long popular ones are thrown out of use; old ones revived or en- tirely new expressions incorporated in ball room lists. The waltz, however, continues to enjoy vigorous old age, to be followed with mor> dignified grace than formerly. The movement this comivg winter will be without the frivolous hop, bul as near an imitation as one can reach of the West Point method, a flowing, casy and very long slide step. To the gallant officers of our stout warships, that have ranged about the great east coast resorts, is due the revival, for winter's ute, of & dance famously popular twenty-five years ago. This is the gallop, 0 suited for long white decks, when modi- fled with side steps, to right and left, after four long, straight gildes and a finale of three waltz turns, just before the music ceases. After nearly seven years of hard service tho famcus barn dance has been completely dropped, and a very charming readaptation of it brought back under the name of the Spanish minuet, In this the young man leads his lady forth by her left hand held gracefully aloft, just as the couples in court minuet stand up to the first figure—with well pointed toes and three curtsies they ad- vance three, six, nine paces, then, as the musle quickens, €all into a long, rapid waltz step In the conventional positions. This was glven ifs first official trial as a variation in tho simple waltz and staccato polka for the german at Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt's great ball this summer, and since has been vigor- ously followed at all the smaller entertain- ments. To a lively little citizen of Brooklyn due the introduction of the Brooklyn scho tische, and with her own nimble. feet she has invented a brand new gay little measure called the “Golfer's Polka,” because it was first danced in the golf club houses at her instigation, and has hazards and bunkers very difiicult for the uninitiated to overcome Its cleverness consists in polkaing through doorways, over all manner of obstacles,, and actually up and down stairs. But to an earnest golfer, hazards are set for the pure Joy of overcoming them, and a polka invari- ably winde up the games held this autumn at ‘every resort. Touching square dances, the simple, old Saratoga lancers stoutly holds its own, and soclety has reorganized the quadrille. No longer do the couples balance as side to the sides and end to the ends as formerly, but the side couples dance to the end couples, after a diagonal fashion, and every figure breaks into waltzing. The german, meanwhile, has taken on new and wonderful forms, chief among them the coaching figure, when three couples, at the blast of a horn, rise, and joined by ribbon reins dance twice about the drawing-room, gathering a complement of followers that must not number more men than women than the seats of a coach will hold. The favors are whips, spurs, stirrups and the like and when a half dozen such turnouts are on the floor the music changes rapidly to polka, two step, waltz, gallop and yorke, which the dancers must Instantly follow, keeplng their proper groupings of couples as they whirl past a judge’s stand. At the end of the figure a series of prize favors are awarded, even into the fifth and sixth grade of comparative merit. Nowadays, when weary satin shod feet are almost ready to turn homeward, the in- Qefatigable musicians no longer play up as a final measure the familiar strains of the Virginia reel. Even uuder the guise of Sir Roger de Coverly this hearty square dance 18 no longer: the last on the program, and all because a frolicsome young person who had heen playing at cow boy out in the west brought back to the east a civilized edition of an Indian war dance, that has captivated the polite drawing-rooms. This is a compro- mise between the highland schottische and a Hungarian gypsy dance, with features truly American, punctuated with conventionalized Comanche howls and a brilliant finale, with the squaws and braves racing round in a wide circle, and so out of the drawing-room door at a signal. It Was a Surprixe Party. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Trostler, 4246 Farnam street, was the scene of a delightful surprise Wednesday evening for their daugh- ter, Hanna, and the Misses Minnie and Hat- tie Berlin and Mr. Charles Fries, who have Just returned from a trip through the west The evening was spent in playing games on the lawn, also vocal and {nstrumental music.

BEETHOVEN NINTH SYMPHONY Ono of the Most Pussling of Musical Oom positions, DISCUSSED AT LENGTH BY DR, BAETENS | Interesting Details of How the Musi- cal Melody Happened to Ne Brought to the Attention of the Publie, In this issue of The Bee Dr. Bactens begins tho discussion of Beethoven's Ninth symphony, and In writing upon the subject he says: Bach new performance of Beethoven's Ninth seoms to call for a restatement of a musical reviewer's artistic croed. Consldered as a whole, 1t 18 one of the most puzaling of com- positions. Magnificent strength, vigor, lucid- ity and beauty characterize its Instrumental movements, and nearly all the contradictions that are conceivable in the field of asthetics are In its vocal movement, whether viewed alono or as a part of an organic whole. Bos- well says that Dr. Johnson lald down the maxim that after the lapse of some hundred years every good book of manners and cus- toms ought to be re-edited, Acting on the principle contained in this suggestion, musical critics and historlans have from time to time made new esti- mates of the chief works of the great com- posers, Whether or not good is accomplished by these later estimates depends undoubt- edly and a great deal upon the temper and knowledge of the reviewer, -for taste in music is a fickle quantity and is apt, under the stress of a desire for novelty, to undergo violent changes, and leaders of public opin- fon, seeking (o repair mistakes made in the heat of a first pronouncing, are always in danger of going a little too far in the op- posite direction. The gremendous chorus of dissent called out by Beethoven's last symphony is familiar to all musical students, and its echoes have come back again during the sixty-two years which have elapsed since the colossal work had its first performance. Even the leaders of the new German school are not agreed on the subject. Dr. Franz Brendel, cer- tainly a writer of great acumen and an enthusiastic disciple of this school, recorded his conviction as follows in his history of music: “As regards the technical part, par- ticularly the mode of representation, T am of the opinion that Beethoven erred com- pletely In the last movement, so that spirit and matter, substance and form do not har- monize, but, on the contrary, fall asunder. One must transcend the eternal representa- tion, discern that which Beethoven intended to say, but did not succeed in saying, before he can perceive the spirit.” DEALS HARSHLY WITH WAGNER. Wagner, in his interpretation of the work, finds the spiritual subject of the whole in_the sentiments of Schiller's “Ode to Joy,” whose musical seiting constitutes the last move- ment. His method of elaboration, with the aid of quotations from Goethe's “Faust,” is very beautiful and useful withal, in that it is marvelously efiicient in quickening the per- ception and appreciation of the listener, but there is no denying that recent researches into the manner in waich Beethoven pro- ceeded in composing the symphony has dis- closed facts which seem to del very harshly with Wagner's beautiful theories. The past century’s re-estimate will unquestionably take these disclosures into consideration, and this circumstance furnishes an excuse for a review in this piace of a portion of the technical history of the symphony. A most potent aid in these researches have been the publica- tions made by Nottebohm of Vienna of the scraps, loose leaves and sketchbooks used by Beethoven during many years in noting ideas as they occurred to him and in experiment- ing in modes of treatment for them. The major part of these sketches are in the Royal Hbrary in Berlin, others are In the possession of A, Artaria in Vienna, while some are held by private individuals, They show very plainly the growth of the plan of the sym- phony, and in connection with incidents re- corded by blographers and other writers af- ford an excellent insight into the mind of the master at intervals during the many years while the work was growing. THE ODE TO JOY, The first intimation that we have that Beethoven assoclated the “Ode to Joy" by Schiller with a musical work dates as far back as the year 1793, when a letter from Prof. Fischenich of Bonn, Beethoven's native place, to Charlotte Von Schiller, the poet's sister, informs her that Beethoven (who is described as “a young man of this place, whose musical talent is becoming notorious and whom the elector has just sent to Vienna to Haydn") intended to compose the “Ode to Joy" “verse by verse.” This, however, was long before Beethoven took to orchestral course can have no connec- tion with the Ninth symphony, save as an interesting fact showing how fong he har- bored the fdea of setting the poem to music before the work was accomplished. Bighteen years later, in 1811, among some sketches for the Seventh and’ Eighth sym- phonies, words of Schiller's ode were asso- ciated with a subject which a few years later was developed into the Overture in C (opus 115), but even here we fail to find any intima- tion of the existence of a plan which produced the symphony. It is only a recurrence of his old resolution to compose music for the ode which now has assumed the proportion of a large work of the concert overture kind. In a book used in 1815 the first subject used by Beethoven in the symphony is found, 1t is the germ melody of the fugue Scherzo. This fragment, which has all the character- istics of the subject of the Scherzo in its ul- timate form, precedes by a few pages a sketch of a few bars, which bears this memorandum: “Symphony, the beginning to be in only four voices, two violins, viola and bass, in the midst of which should come a forte with other voices, the other Instruments, if pos- sible, to be introduced gradually.” With this scheme the fugue melody quoted heretofore was probably associated, VISITED BY MUSICIANS. Two years later, in 1817, another fugue appears among the sketches, and this is associated with the fugue theme showr to date 1815, as part of some work on the new symphony, which is now for the first time identified as the Ninth symphony by a record of its key. Beethoven places above the sketches, which begin with studies in the use of the subject of the first movement, this memorandum: “Zur Sinfonie in D' “For the Symphony in D.” A number of these sketches are published by Nottebohm (Neue Beethoveniana, No. XXIII, Musikal- ishes Wochenblatt of March 31, 1876), who says that they show the work in its first stage; the sketches have referenco mostly to the first movement, whose principal sub- ject has begun to take shape. Of the other ihematic factors of the movement very little is apparent; he seems to hesitate in the choice of his themo for the Scherzo. Noth- ing 1s determined relative to the present third and fourth movements; the last move- ment scems designed to be instrumental, and apparently Beethoven has mot yet thought of the Introduction of Schiller's “Hymn to Joy. n Beethoven the summer of 1822 Rochlitz visited as the bearer of a commission from the music publishers, Brettkopf & Hartel in Lelpsic, for the composition ‘f music for Goethe's “Faust” in the manner he had done for the same poet's “Egonont.” Rochlitz relates the incidents of their meet- ing with beautiful enthusiasm and finishes the most interesting view of the composer that can be found in the range of musical literature, Californin Plonecers Celebrate.
