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

In nla class, and as well by those who
are so far beneath his attainments in
popularity that' they can receive no ac

An Important announcement In New

which Walter Dam roach's symphony or

In an interview printed In the Berlin
Lokal Anielger, Geraldtne Farrar, a
young American soprano at the Berlin
opera, says many unkind things about

A COLLEGE TRIBUTE
to Edward MacDowell
A great tribute, to American music
was paid by the University of Illinois
November 4 and. ,6, when the new aud
itorium was opened with a series of con
certs and other exercises In honor of
Edward MacDowell. Prior lo the com
pletion of the building, letters were sent
out to prominent musicians' all over the
country asking therrl to name the com
poser whom they deemed the greatest
of American composers. MacDowell
was easily the choice, as he must neces
sarily have been for there Is no other In
his class. A memorial tablet to him haa
been placed in the building, and the
exercises Included MacDowell compo
sitions throughout.
The first afternoon the exercises con
sisted of speeches by the architect. O.

EW VIOLIN WORK
Found and Published
An absolutely unknown violin con
certo by Mozart has Just been discov
ered and was published by Breitkopf &
Hartel at the same time that the first
performance of the work took place
simultaneously at Berlin, Leipslc and
Dresden, November 4. This is the sev
enth violin concerto of Mozart. Its ex-.
Istence was known, but the work was
long since considered lost. The auto
graph manuscript was in the posses
sion of Habeneck, the Parisiaft violinist,
till 1837, when It disappeared. How
ever, ft copy of the original had been
made by Eugene Sauzay, the son-in-
law of tba famous French violinist,

AMLIN SONG SINGER
Of Educatfve Influence
George Hamlin, tenor, will be the
next of the Lois Steers-Wynn Coman
attractions and he will sing at the Hel
llg December 19. Mr. Hamlin is not
an operatic singer and that must not
be expected. He Is purely a concert
singer and as such Is best fitted to
Interpret tne many, beautiful songs 1ns
which operatic singers so often show
discreditably.
At a concert he recently gave in Chi
cago his work was praised most highly
as being thoroughly artistic. W. L.
Hubbard said; 1
"Mr. Hamlin -a- he Grand was found
to be In uncommonly good condition.
Not in several seasons has he sung In

demands'were by no means few. - Hla

Mademoiselle Renee Chemet Is the
solo violinist who accompanies Madame
Calve on this tour. Her work is said
to be most artistic and in Europe she
has received flattering recognition.
Mademoiselle Chemet was born at
Boulogne on the Seine. At nine
years of age she entered the Con
servatoire of I'aris and studied sol
fege and that year took tho first
medal in her class. At 12 she was
received in the violin class and three
years later received the first prize
for the violin while studying under the
famous master Bertheller. She next ap
peared In concert under various pat
ronages and in 1902 was received by
critics with enthusiasm as lone of the
best violinists France has boasted. She
has played with many of the great sing
ers tuid one of the leading critics of
Berlin asserts that Mademoiselle
Chemet possesses artistic atoility spe
cially adapted for accompaniment not
to be found in any violinist of the time.
Camille Decreus Is the piunlst with
Madame Calve. He also is a Frenchman
who has studied under French. German
and Italian masters and stands high in
his profession. This is his first visit
to America und as a pianist of wide cul
ture retaining something from three
great schools of music he will be one of
the interesting features of Calve's pro
