Indeed, Mr. Thomas knows per- foctly well that It Ia much easier and more natural for the public to enjoy really beautifnl music than the trivial trash that most orelestras play to them, and bis audiences Justify his good opinion of them by applanding heartily #uch exqnisite productions as Robert Schuinann’s *Traumcre!,"* a tone-poet, tull of subtle, delicate beauty and spirituality, Goanod's ptation of Bach's fest prelude is tikewisy a work of the highest merit, but it never falls to command the utmost atintration of the audience, There are some orchestral leaters who seem to think that the more trivial, foolish, and senseless piece of music, is the better it is likely to be enjoy As well might one say that if you painted a land- cape so that the trcck looked Hike meuntalis and the mounaina like clouds, and everything was out of drawing and out of perspective, therefore it would be genera!ly enjoyed, and the worve it was Printed the better it would be liked. A good pie- ture is always better liked than a bad one, and good music Is better liked by the public than trash; and if the miscrable staff that is presented to the public most of onr theatres is applauded, tt 18 only because no opportunity is given to hear and enjoy that of w higher class, Mr. Thomas always sustains the pubiic taste, hold- ing up before it for admiration the best models, and pecostoming it to the higher and nobler forins of musical composition, ‘This is the work of a true musician, who respcets his art, and like all true and earnest work, it tinds suppor from tho prople at large, Whose instincts in the di- rection of art are protty ceruin to be true to whut. ever 1s really best ant noblest, ‘These popular con- certs \lid much last summer to encourage a corrcet tuste, and we do not doubt that they will rece ve even a more liberal support during the comlug sea- ton.
