GAETA 1V0RPA WOLD I AM glad to quote from Marc Blu menthal of the Musical Courier what It would take a great deal of cyiraga to' say for "oneself. Blu " menthal is recognised aa a critic of worthy attainments, a man . who la authorized In speaking his opinion on matters musical and whom others are authorised In quoting. Recently Mark Humbourg and Ignace Paderewskl gave concerts on succeed ing daya in New York, both to large audience and much applause, ajid both were compelled to add extra numbers to the regular program. Hut ther.e It seems, the similarity ceaaed. Mr.. Blu menthn! compares the two programs and their rendition. He speaks hlghty of Mr. Hambourg'a work and artistic Instincts, and his choice of numbers. That people have the courage to name Paderewskl publicly aa a poser shows an advancement In musical criticism. Most musician recognise that he no longer stands at the head of piano au-i-omplU-hments and where It Is no gen erally acknowledged by those who are In nla class, and as well by those who are so far beneath his attainments in popularity that' they can receive no ac cusations of Jealousy, there can a .no lustloe In the remalnlna Idol worship ers who accuse auch pchple of decrying genius. Paderewskl must have had genius to mane me piace ne naa maae. tiui thore are caes and cases of artists who In their youth by hard and unceasing work .and Willi the ardor or genius ana love for the work, have forced them selves Into recognition, who have finally fallen before the altar of cheap and easy popularity with which wealth goes hand In hand.

It introduces the toreador, who there crossea their lives and reawakens the gypsy's Interest to the disparage ment of her 'fancy for Joss. An Important announcement In New Tork music, concerns the new basis on which Walter Dam roach's symphony or chestra opens this seaaon. The players will be engaged for the entire season with the. provision that they meet for dally rehearsals. This entitles the. New York' symphony to stand among the fiermanent organisations. Moreover It naures the aame orchestra being taken on a tour aa la heard at home and thus acts more fairly by the towne that It visits. In so many cases theae orches tras are made up of men who play else where and a sadly depleted organisa tion la taken on the road. In an interview printed In the Berlin Lokal Anielger, Geraldtne Farrar, a young American soprano at the Berlin opera, says many unkind things about her native country. Bhe probably finds this the eaaieat way to get even with her countrymen for the chilly reception she received here at the Metropolitan last aeason.

MacDowell was easily the choice, as he must neces sarily have been for there Is no other In his class.

He has studied the peculiar conditions on this skle of the hemisphere. If Paderewskl did not know his public intimately he would not present to It a program which is more or less a grief to the Judicious musician who reflects on what a man, In Paderewski's position might and should do for the cause of art. "Compare tho programs of Hambourg and Paderewskl, and remember one of them is a stripling, almost a boy, the other is a man verging on 50, who has been on the stage' for more than a quarter of a century, and is pecuniarily In a position where the ill will or favor of the audience need not concern him an Infinitesimal jot. What a glorious .pioneer he could be, 4f. he desired, for new works; what a valuable medium to introduce to a vast public, which, seldom or never hears them, the monumental mnsternieces of oiano literature! In- etead of that he gives us what? A set of worthless variations of his, own, fu tile and empty as his long forgotten opera, 'Manru'; one of those earlier, so natas of Beethoven which, by common consent, have been consigned to the province of the musical schoolroom and the seminary parlor; two Schubert ong transcriptions, when so many lovely .-nrielnnl works of Schubert beckon In vain for performance nowadays; a 'SoK ree do Vienna,' which other pianists use-only as an encoro number; four of the most hackneyed Chopin worksonly the ubiquitous E flat Nocturne is miss ing", a pleasing and well made modern trifle by Stojowskl, and the old thir teenth rhapsodie, Paderewskl'a battle horse of the long ago." - Then follow the programs played by Josef Hofmamv Richard Buhllg and Rudolph Gam, intellectual types of pl artista who have recently played In New York wjth rather disparaging effect on . " Paderewskl'a different collection of an tiquated numbers. " ' most natural Is it that their perceptions should become dulled and that as they give their public poorer quality they become themselves satisfied with it and lose the contempt they at first feel for the uneducated taste. Nothing can keep up an ideal better than constantly working for it. And the m.in who constantlv tries to edu cato his people, not oniy becomes im bued with ft great soul spirit of love and pity Instead or contempt ror tnose he ) t'rvinK to educate, but finds his own ideals steadily rising. A man who has already attained Ms Ideal la singu larly unfortunate. He may have at tained the ideals -of his earlier life and still progress, but one who does not still have his ideals before him has lost his Imagination, ins greater nope, ana nntncthlner for which to strive. It im plies a lowering of his standard, and that ho has come to a ston. And such it seems to me, must be the pianist who gives up his greater work of bringing his hearer" up to him arid instead goes down to mem. w The following account of a concer by a Portland singer comes from a For est Grove correspondent: Thursday evening the music lovers of Forest Grove and Washington county were given a rare musical treat when Mrs. Pauline Miller-Chapman gave her first song recital since her return from abroadV last summer. The auditorium of Pacific university was teeming with neopla. enthusiastic to the end over Mrs. Chapman's capital rendition of the entire program.
