TRIUMPH FOR HASCACHL Metropolitan Opera House Rang with Plaudits for Young Italian Composer. 18 A QUICK CONDUCTOR. | Audience Found Him Unlike the Usual Type of Musical Genius, but Enjoyed the Rendition of His Operas. He is nelther long-haired nor whim- sical, acrobatic nor strenuous. Just a @ane, capable, workmanlike conductor- composer is Pietro Mascagni, who modestly accepted the ovation tendered him last evening at’ the Metropolitan Opera-House, Quite the antithesis of the accepted type of musical genius is this son of a voor Lombard baker whose melodies have thrilled the world, His art life is a latter day romance. Haloed in the glamor of supreme suc cess, we had prepared ourselves to wel- come in him a musical personage utter- ly beyond the conventional. And we were pleasantly disappointed. Good health, good humor, good sense are embodied In every move and gesture of the I.-lian composer's athletic frame. ‘Therm fg over six feet of him and he tr My set up. His shapely head Mes o fei between shoulders that and ® ybell practice, as well as day's hy, His features are good, tare genial. His ractal char- ‘ea aa not accentuated.

AN this was fis unlooked for, but it detracted rom the enthusiasm of Mascag- Mtrymen, who flocked to wel- adn," nor from the enjoyment of anthrac. ~ and when the maestro bustles out to again take up the baton he feels fresh as a boy on his way to Sunday- school. It must not be judged from this that Mascagni is an unusual type of the phystoally strenuous director. He might be described as hardworking, rather than as violent. Great earnestness characterizes his wielding of the baton. His energy of purpose last night was as sincere ag the mimic grief of Sig- nora Capell! was humanly pathetic. He Is not a poseur. His mind 1s on his In the fiptim Weleome. mecessary 'o¢ many hours of ac- before attvance, vexatton, strife Bor 3''u& wrung a ninth-hour duermination from the composer to throw up his American tour and return to placid Italy was swept away by the vociferous welcome that greeted Mas- cagni’s appearance in ths conductor's chair, The house was packed with his countrymen.

Only two characters ap- eared. Sylvia, a mondaine, and Za- ‘to, a troubadour, ‘The woman tired t worldly lovers would begitile the mple youth, but he seeks affection, not passion, and she sends him away rather than destroy his dream of innocence, It is u fragile theme, lacking fervor and ineldent, ‘The composer follows the poet's mood, His inspiration {js subdued. ‘The Hauid recitation moves to a delicate accompaniment of strings and reeds and the soft notes of horns. But the quiet- ness palls, despite the saccharinities of the Mascagni! harmonies. A haunting bit of melody intoned by the opening chorus runs through the work, and Syl- via's acknowledgment of love Is a beau- tiful passage that ends weakly. “Zanetto” will enhance the composer's reputation for verpatility among the musically elect, but It 1s too long drawn out for the average American audience, Triumphed Over Orchestra, Every one sat up to take particular notice when the opening strains of the “Cavalleria Rusticana” overture were heard. New sensations were anticipated under the composer’s baton, new read- ings, the delights of unexpected nuances, were anticipated. Nothing radically dit- ferent from famillar readings was vouchsafed, This may have been due to the orchestra, over whose shortcomings the composer triumphed. Some of his tempos were strikingly accelerated, notably in the prayer scene, and his climaxes were brought out vividly. His encounters with a refractory chorus, composed mainly of the “old guard’ who have thelr own ideas about theory, were amusing. He succeeded in ener- @iaing them without acute display of dynamic leaderohip, but thelr vagaries of pitch were beyond him. Mascagni was» study for the entiro|! audience during the intermezzo, That he bad well rehearsed, and its rendition was clean out as an intaglio.

I got the sheet off and wereamed, and he ran out of the house.
