Reinald Warrenrattn the distineu- ished baritone, who is coming to sing Wednesday night, February 22, in the Heilig theater, under the direction of Steers & Coman, unquestionably has read more American songs than most Americans, and he still ls r'eading more, vvnen he let it be known a few years ago that he wanted to help American composers by presenting their spngs to the public, he had no realization of how many American composers there seem to be and what busy composers they are. In the be ginning the songs used to drift in in moderate batches, but for the past three or four years he says he has been receiving between 3000 and 4000 songs a year, and the curious part of it is that he examines all of them. Ponce de Leon in search of the foun tain of youth never stuck more close ly to his Job than Werrenrath in search of a good song, and when he finds one, which may be at the rate of two and a half a year, a holiday is declared in the Werrenrath house hold and if It happens to be summer, the whole family goes on a picnic. Werrenrath is Intensely serious In this work, and he has no friends when it comes to a question of ac cepting songs Although the work is tiresome and a "grind," Werrenrath thinks it has been worth while, for he has discovered In the past few years many songs of real merit and by singing them has done much to set the composer on the road to suc cess.

Charles Marshall, one of the leading tenors of the Chicago Opera associa tion, has en abiding faith in the possi bility of grand opera in English. In his career of 15 years on the operatic stage jut. Marshall has eung in French, Italian and German, so that his point of view is by no means nar row. His conviction is based upon me musical experience of other coun tries, in which opera in the native tongue is taken as a matter of course, says iuusicai America, Italian audiences would rather listen ' to poor Italian than equally poor berman or French," declares Mr. Marshall; "but there is no reason why the diction or the phrasing should b poor. If epera is ready to be based -on dramatic literature, the story becomes of great importance, and is entitled to proper telling. The difficulty with popularizing opera in the United States is that so few in the" audienco can follow the lines. If we are ever to win the real Interest of the Dublin we must give them something they can unaerstana. "This does not mean that a new repertoire In English must be written. The great works in opera will last for all time, and these up to the Dresent nave oeen the product of European masters. To reach the soul of the American public they should be trans lated so that the story, as well as the music, can make its appeal. The trou ble with English translations has been either that the attempt has been made with a work that loses its quality even In the best translation, or that the rendition into English has been very badly done. The Wagnerian operas present extraordinary difficul ties In translation, because it is al most impossible to carry over some of the composer s Ideas into another lan. guage. "The case ls different with the great ixanan ana jrrench operas. These are frequently constructed on feeble and silly libretti that would gain In strength by being properly done into Englih, A capable librettist would have a simple task of making over the. majority of the works in the repertoire, and in the larger number of cases the translation would be better drama than the original. This would oo away with the occasional instances of fofeign singers imDro- vising speeches in a performance be fore an audience that is none the wiser because of its ignorance of the meaning of the words." HOW GRIEG PLAYED PIANO. "Sir Charles Villiers Stanford has called Grief 'a miniature Viking,' and there is much truth in this remark for a certain fresh or tragic primitive ness mixed with a somewhat eerie and ethereal spirituality marks off Grieg's music from his mid-European fellow-Romanticists such as Mendels sohn, Schumann or Chopin, and re veals more or less affinity with similar 'northern' psychology in the works of other Norwegian creators in other branches of art, such as Ibsen, Bjornson, Vinje, Arne, Garborg, Munch and Johan Sinding," writes Percy Grainger, the eminent composer and pianist, in the Etude, Phila delphia. "Those who had the good fortune to ; 7 : : ; hear Grieg perform his own composi tions), whether as a pianist or as a conductor, are. more likely to bo alive to the heroic and intense attributes of his art than those less lucky In this respect; for Grieg was nothing If not extremely virile and dynamic as an Interpreter of his works. Always a poet, but above all, always a man. As a rule his tempi were faster than those usually heard in performances of Grief works by other artists: and invariably the enthralling wistfulness and poetic appeal of his renderings knew no trace of sentimentality or mawkishness. Strong add sudden ac cents of all kinds and vivid contracts of light and shade were the outstand ing features of his self-interpretations; while the note of passion that he sounded was of a restless and fev erish rather than of a violet nature. Extreme delicacy and exquisiteness of detail were present in his piano play ing; and although the frailty of his nhvsiiaue. in tha later vears at least. withheld him from great displays of rugged force at the- keyboard, yet when occasion required, he prized and demanded those resources In others. "In short, the general human ten dencies of the heroic, active, poetic, excitedly emotional Norwegian race from which he sprang ail seemed to be faithfully portrayed in his render ings of his own compositions, as were no less, the characteristics of the hillscapes and fjordscapes of his na tive land. The brilliant coloring and striking clarity c-f the scenes, the al most indescribable exhilaration of the northern atmosphere, all were mir rored in his music. "Grieg eschewed all 'muddiness" or obscurity of tonal effect in writing for the piano or other instruments and the performer of Grieg's music should try to realize the composer's prediliction for the bright and clear and clean sonorities." MUSICAL BRIEFS. The Schumann society clubrooms are now in the Washington building where musical programmes will be given each Tuesday night. , Miss Almeda Keiser played several violin solos and vocal obligatos in honor of Mrs. H.

Godowsky was once intro duced to the late Saint-Saens, who. after hearing the boy play several of his own compositions, immediately manifested the most enthusiastic in terest in Godowsky. But the restless nature and incessant activities of Saint-Saens made continuous study with him impossible, so in the end Godowsky became practically his own teacher. That he was his very best instructor, time and his great reputa tion have proven. Godowsky stands today the accepted master-pianist of his time, and American musical art owes much to his composing, playing and teaching in each of which he has built firmer foundations for American music-appreciation and interpretation.
