THE MAUD
J7RIB
T
HERB ar many foolish questions
handed In to the musical depart
ment of any paper doubtless.
Some have coma to me which
have, I confess it, puriled me for
answers. Among the most foolish,
however, maybe counted questions as
to tfee greatest pianist, or the greatest
violinist, or the greatest- singer in the
world. It may be easy to say that a
certain person is not the greatest plan
1st but to give someone else tha place
irrevocably would b like putting one's
head in the noose. - ' '
- Nobody has ever asked who was
the greatest pianist. That may be be
cause they knew I did not know. - Or
it may be because my opinion of the
tnuch-worshlped Faderewski shattered
their faith not in the pianist but in
the supposed critic. But I have re
ceived the question: "Is Kubollk the
greatest violinist In the world? If not,
who tar That is a double-barreled
gun from which there Is but difficult
retreat. The only answer to give Is
the time-worn sentiment, "A woman In
the most beautiful woman in the world
to you if you think so." And heaven be
praised that I don't have to be governed
by his choice. '
And, "Is Nordics greater than Schu-mann-HeinkT"
is another spark that has
detached itself from this brilliant ball
of interrogation. Why not as well de
bate again, "Resolved, That the sword
is mightier than the pen,' or "That
fire is more destructive than water?"
It is from personal contact with such
flimmerings of musical intelligence that
feel a sense of sympathy, a stirrlns;
of kindred pain when I read in "Vsria.
tlons," by Leonard L,iebllng of the Mif
eslral Courier, a feeble attempt to fore
stall these questions. In New York,
where oelebritles rrow like fir trees in
Oregon,-and where they are known just
about as ramiiiarjy. mere must ne muon
more occasion for such questions from
the innoewnt distressed.
Mr. Llebllna- undertakes to answer In
advance the questions that he knows
will pour in upon him with their usual
res-ularlty at this season of the year
and hopes thqs, "with one thwell

the following answers:
1. We do not know whether or not
Caruso Is the . greatest tenor in the
world, as we have never been in Krot
oschin, Kankakee, or King William
Town. (To localize, I would add Scap
poose, Kknmokawa and Cathlamet.)
. 2. Replying to yours of this date, we
would say that we think the best place
to study piano is at the instrument.
(That eliminates tactfully the danger of
free advertising.).
I. You are wrons:. American sinters
have a chance, but we refuse to say at
what.
. The violin which you mention as
having been In your family for 76
years undoubtedly is a Stradlvarlus of
rare quality. It is worth S50.OOO.
Please send it on at once, and we will
remit a money order for the amount.
We will not pay the expressage, how
ever. 6. Madame E. Is an excellent voral
teacher, for she told me so herself.
. It is hard to sav whether Tetraz-
slnl is better than Melba. We can an
swer only musical questions.
I. ii your lert nana is as weak as
you say. you had better use only the
right and turnjages with the left.
s. Jio you irunic uiat times is

he does, for he is nearly a foot taller.

Last season he was pronounced very
bad. (Ha! A chamsion forsooth-: )
11. You comolain that vou have
trouble with your fourth finger when
playing scales. Keep your third and
fourth fingers crossed: then the third
win pe' the fourth snd vice versa
' ii. "Sings with fire" is a permiss
ible expression. See closing of
'Walkure and "Gotterdammerung."
Yes, anybody can write marches
like Rousa's. The only reason no one
lse did it Is because he wrote them
14. The cello sounds " exactly like
the human voice; so much so, in facX
that some players can make it sound
as though, it had a cold.
18. We cannot agree with vou that
Brahms is broader than Beethoven. If
you had said thicker, we would have
been glad - to second your opinion

humor, whether "Parsifal" was given

No, it Is Just as grea.t now; but ths

and each scored a decided success. The

terestecr in the career of Miss Cajripbell
whose work In Portland Is widely
known. t
"An appreciative audience of about
600 assembled at Villard hall Friday
night. The occasion was one presenting
two neV members of trfe music school
faculty in a piano and song recital.
"Miss Morgan, who comes to the uni
versity from the state college for
women at Columbus, Miss., where Bhe
has been engaged for the past 10 years,
more than sustained the reputation that
preceeded her as a pianist. She played
splendidly. Her tone and touch met all
the requirements made -upqn them,
whether It was the sonorous somber
nocturne of Schumann or some lighter,
rippling, capricious conception such as
the GoUard numbers.
Miss Morgan's warm recelon was al
together deserved. K She is a decided
musical acquisition.
"The singing of Miss Grace Campbell,
the new instructor in voice culture, cre
ated no less favorable- impress'ion than
the work of her colleague. She has a
rich, warm, virile soprano voice capable
of great things. She Is a real dramatic
soprano. Flexibility, in a voice as large
as Miss Campbell's, is an unusual occur

runs and trills, demonstrated the flexi

that delighted he hearers. The memo

particularly beautiful. Miss Campbell's

THE ROMANTIC STOR
Of a Romantic Onera
The following atory is told of a fa
mous composer and his most famous
work: ,
" 'What! Be a miserable musician who
earns scarce enough to buy himself
food? Never!' said Slgnor Mascagni's
father, a baker of Leghorn, when his
son announced his intention of giving
himself up to the ai-t he loved. - "You
will be a lawyer and grow rich; not a
wretched fiddler.' But PietrorMascagni
was firm and his father had to let him
go his way. The path was thorny at
first and Mascagni and his wife had a
terrible struggle during the early days
of their married life to make both ends
meet T shall never do anything,' he
said one day, .as he was working away at
the score of 'Cavaleria Rustlcana' 'nev
er. That Is where my work must go,"
and he threw .the sheets on the fire.
Luckily the fire was low, for there was
no money to buy coal, and his wife
rescued the precious work herself and
sent it on her own account to compete
for the prize. In a day or two Mas
cagni woke to find himself the most
famous musician .in Europe. He nr-
peared before the curtain and the au-n
dlence cheered and shouted for nearly
20 minutes. Yet so poor was he when
the opera was produced that he had to
Borrow the money to telegraph the news
to his wife."
AUD POWELL TRIO
WU1 Play at Heilig
M
The next musical attraction of Im
portance will be the Maud Powell trio
engagement at the Heilig Wednesday
evening, November ,26. the eve " of
Thanksgiving. Those who heard Maud
Powell, that splendid, womanly musician
last year in her concert here, will heed
nothing further than the announcement
of her comlnu to make them- go to
hear her, Madame Powell Is one of the
most delightful musicians Portland has
ever heard. She is a violinist of taste
and refinement Her work is every
where marked with a warmth that
stamps the woman as well as the mu
sician. This year she comes here with a trio,
which, if press reports may be believed,
should furnish one of the most de
lightful programs of the year. Madame
Powell with her fine artistlo tempera
ment, could not give - anything but . a
good program. With her are Anne Ford,
pianist 'and May Mukle. cellist Miss
Ford ia said to combine well the . rare
gift of discretion and sympathy in en
semble work and accompanying. - Miss
Mukle was a debutante in America last
season and created ' a sensation. She
has alC the Qualities' that go to make
a popular favorite ,- ,. '.
She la very young, scarcelv out of her
teens,' it is said, and she ,18 -a woman
. . ; . .; ..'-. .-.7
of - exceptional beauty. Added to this
she is ruli . of temperament, has a re
markable memory and technic and' strik
ing individuality in her playing. She
is oonsiaerea one tr tne Deal promises
for the futare. Last January she was
brought out under the management of
II. Godfrey Turner, Madame Powell's
n vis Dana, ana ner-success was imme
diate. Mr. Turner's own- pamphlets
show that he is confident that he has
louna a splendid star in Miss Mukle.
The name, by the way, is pronounced
Mook-leh. and since" there will prob-
auiy iw occasion 10 use u more man
once if she fulfills the expectations of
those who iave heard her. it mljtht'be
as well to learn that now. SafonofM
after hearing her play, merely shoogl

"Wonderful!" three times. .
Madame Powell is known everywhere
as probably the best woman violinist in
the world .and many place her so high
that they resent the narrowing her to
me woman class. fcine certainly can
compete with many of the , best men
violinists and lose nothing by compari

T OCAL ARTISTS
J- Acquit Themselves Well
There was a good attendance! at the
concert given Friday evening at the
Helllg by Frank G. Elchenlaub, violinist
He was assisted by Mrs. Rose Coursen
Reed, contralto, and. George H. Street
baritone. Mr. Elchenlaub returned last
spring from six years study in Europe
I"!10?,. Immediately gave a recital
the Helllg which was crowded to hear
him. Since that time he has grown in
popularity and has acquired a position
as one of the leading violinists of Port
land. Ho is still very young, but his
ease in bowing, his musical feeling, and
his ability to master technical diffi
culties bespeaks a farther development
that will make his art grow to a fuller
and richer attainment.
- His tone is toot always perfectly sus
tained in legato passages but the qual
ity, especially in the lower passages,
is good. The Corelll-Leonard "Folia'1
with which he opened the program was
different from the usual opening con
certo and. was an interesting study.
Saint-Saens' "Le Cygne" was a beUer
known number-and was given with a
food deal of grace. The Dilna "Fono
al" has never been played here before
and 'was well received. Florlllo's "In
Memorlom" and Bohm's Canrleelo. the
latter a gay little bit Played with a
rood deal of abandon, and a fantasie on
he Lucia sextette, which by this time
should have beeif ahout done to death,
were his other nunrfbers. The. last was
played " without . any - trlano- accompaoi-
Mra Reed sang three numbers and
was received with the usual cordiality
that greets her performances which are
always artistic In detail. The Sans
Souci number, 'Thoughts," was a dainty
little thin and was especially admired.
"The Blind Girl's Son" from "Gloconda,"
ii.sung with splendid expression. A
rne serenade was her other song. In
core she sans: "Love is a Rose.'1 also
Sans Souci song.
Mr. Street's baritone was heard for
the first time. I believe. In nubile con
cert, and surprised a good many by its
promise. It is of pleasing quality and
he sings, with a good deal of dramatic
power though bis voice lacks depth
depth in quality, not range. There is
not enough variety ' about his tones.
However, his voice is open and free
with no embarrassment of strain, he
has a good register and a pleasing qual
ity and doubtless his voice will mature
and grow more solid. He sang a num
ber from Thomas' "Mlgnon" and Tours'
"Mother o' Mine."
SPRING FESTIVAL
Brings Local Chorus
The announcement that the Chicago
Symphony orchestra will return here
this season for a spring festival has
been the occasion for rejoicing among
local choral circles that enjoy the priv
ilege of singing in large numbers and
with orchestral accompaniment. W. H.
Boyer is making preparations to call
together the chorus of last year's fes
tival for organisation. In about a fort
night the work will be set on foot. Last
year's chorus numbered about 200 mem
bers and this year it will probably be
larger with an addition from Vancou
ver. The musical people over there have
sent a request, that they be included in
the chorus and arrangempnts will prob
ably be made for Mr. Boyer to go over
now and then to conduct their rehear-,
