XTUSICAL SEASON TO ivX . Open With Quartet FACTS THAT ALL Wni S f 9 LK.t3JUL2Sfr)?&&a CUCH a hV beautiful time, as wi 'do these " days reproaching ancestor for their lack of ippreclatlon and gloving tvlta righteous Indignation whan w recall tha treatment ; the, men whose memories we now -revere, received when they ware living. We study th history of literature and 'our "blood bolls ' with . the Indignities suffered , by , great writer -whose effort ware o far In ad : vance of their age that tha writer were corned and left to die In poverty. The Bam a thing la true In other lines of Ufa, and not tha least It music- '.And wa pat ouraelvaa on th, back and feel that wa would never, have' dona auoh It la much the aatna feeling aa w ex- ' perlsncsd heni as children, tw read- tha ' , itory of Christ and wept over the blind ness of the Jew and felt a hopeless sense of desolation over tha .lack of moral courage displayed by Pontius Pilate. I aay "as children," for as grow older mayhap wa realise that un der the same oondltlons we, too, might have been blind and stubborn; that un der their .lights we, .too, might have been persecutors. But more likely are wa to forget that olrcumstanoes repeat themselves; that everyday wa may Jeer at someone who Is only in advance of the, time; that a few generations ago many of the facts now accepted by us as tha most rational common-sense seemfcd to the people of that time aa ab surd as do some of the things w laugh at now. And so it is always well to defer the self-patting on the back. But I started to speak of honor-deferred. No doubt to tha genius who was starved Into heaven by his unap prectatlve and, may I say, pig-headed brethren, the monuments created to him now end the laurel wreaths and the songs and praises accorded him are a Joy and delight forever from his birds eye View. Eternal Joy is the only thing j that' can"1 aengnt mm now, prooaoiy. But I wonder if the heart pangs, and the hunger'of his soul and the more ma terial hunger oi those days gone by are also eternal. Ths wouia he saa maeea. Weill perhap, tardy adulation Is the only thing blind, stumbling humanity can give to make tip for Its errors. But could not the remedy well be applied earlier? I read an article the other day In which the writer flayed Germany In a wholesale manner for its mlsapprecla ttonof Its great. He said that Germany felt It had much for which to reproach Itself In Ha treatment of Mosart and , Schubert, and, even later, Robert Frans, names familiar and loved throughout the whole musical world; that It had been making up in later years Its Inhu man treatment by means of monuments VMceerwttee . .composers had been - starved to -death by lack of support. But then he grew Indignant in earnest i,M!r vrht nira. within the last cen tury, when people are supposed to haye reached the stage of enlightenment In such "matters, they have actually starved to death another musician. Hugo Wolf had a . desperate time In Germany. A volume of his songs was given to the publisher Just to get them out of -his sight and touch, because v.o(. hron.npA fimve mm ihcw.

However, the purpose for which It was primarily built won out. A grand opera season over In Brooklyn by the Metropolitan forces Is already assured. More than $70,000 for the 1 performances has already been sub scribed. The initial performance will I take place Saturday evening, November 14, two days before the opening of the season at tne Metropolitan opera. An Enarlish iournal informs the world that "In a recent book of irtemolrs a new mot of Richard Wagner's on the subject of Schubert's music Is quoted. He said that 'Schubert must have tos- sessed, a sponge from which music poured out wherever he chose to press it' " The comparison is excellent, for It enables us to understand why ao much water results when certain com posers squeeze the sponge of their in spiration.

In spite of ths composer's melancholy, a deep pathos and beautiful emotion in his musio will read with gratefulness the Musical Courier's championship of him.

The Courier says: "In snlte of the critical croakinars sgalnst him and the pathetic prophecies that Tschaikowskv's music would not long survive its composer, his works are looking forward to a busier season man ever tnis winter.
