In the language of the hour, the Ota aon - ayatem waa applied la the choice oi a director. There are three elemanta ea . aentlal to perfection In orchaatra en- eamblt. The flrat la that the leader abaJl be an efficient drlllmaeter. The .- eeoond that the men tbemaelvaa ahall , be technically well equipped. The third . that they ahall work together conatant ly and in harmony. Only the undevlat- ing application of theae eaaenuaie will produce that rhythmic awing, precision of attack, and aympathetle vibration that one feel with every perfect or oheetrt.1 performance. Those who have ""followed the entire' aeaaon of concerta have done ao with a aani of curiosity aa to the reault of a different conductor for each performance. Each one wae surprisingly good, but equally true each one had. hie weak points. Each demanded a cartels loyalty and received It That ' psychology of masterful domination and continuity was lacking at. times, how ever, without which there can be neither perfection in ensemble nor virtuosity of performance. And all this la aalde from the fact that each successive con ductor was tied down to the score. Ex cept In the more popular numbers waa there the sufficient acquaintance with which begets real confidence and assur ance. The taste for symphony concerts either in the case of an Individual or a community cannot be acquired all at once, often the musically trained do not sufficiently appreciate them to pet ion Ire them frequently. Those who like good music according to the more popu lar at&ndards could not be expected to do so. There are, too, those who go to symphony concert because they do not like to be outside the pale of the elect even in matters musical, and these must be reckoned, with. 1 The appreciation and understanding of a. program of pure music la more than a matter of taste. It is indeed evolution. It is well to - keep this thought In mind when making .out the program. A series of symphony concerts -should certainly- live up to their name in spirit, but they need not be J ved up to in letter. The perform ance of the more readily appreciated parts of symphony the more popular movements, if you like were better, if a large per cent or the audience an predating them than the execution of an entire symphony with but a small num ber of 'tne audience either enjoying or appreciating, it is well not to attempt too mucn either .in quantity or quality. In -a measure the audience Is educated only up. to a certain standard of ap preciation. Two movements rather than an entire symphony might be better Tat the present time for all concerned. Program making is an art, ao most -musician a o-ree. There can be little complaint of the plan which puts the .heavier part of the program first. The novitiate m symphony programs gets those things set before Mm which ri quire the closest attention and the need . of the keenest perception and attention to enjoy. After a. while the mind be--comes lee receptive. There is a desire for something that can be taken in wlth- : out effort; something that appeals to the musical tasto and melodic desire rather . than the Intellectual aide. So the plan ef having the symphony In the first half of the program is a wise one, even if uoh a plan was not the example act by even such a master of program making as Theodore Thomas In fact. It was not until Arthur Stock; succeeded Mr. Thomas that the symphony was morea up into tne.rirst half of the con cert program. Except In rar Instance. worn, tor instance, a tieecnoven program la given do the concerts of the Theodora Thomas orchestra open with a sym phony. , Bather soma spirited overture is given first place. The audience be fore settled during the performance, the appvtite la eUmuLated for omttyn stronger, th attention Is keyed eg tc tht rtara g resistance of the evening., ...I. .4 .-'., ,.,,. ,-,-.-..' .- -f subject to tha reelstano of a wave of restlessness. It would be well, per haps, to try a composition that will readily bring the audience Into tha at mosphere of the occasion and at the same time prepare the listeners for tha real Item of the symphony program. The selections chosen for the second half of the program have almost with out exception been well balanced and worthy of th occasion. Taken all In all. this th first season of the Portland Symphony orchestra, haa been a very successful one, snd It is confidently bsllavad that tha accom plishment will stand as a solid basis for a permanent organization. That the right method is pursued in proceed ing with caution, Is the belief of those who have given the matter aerlous con sideration. So many communities have attempted to start off its symphony orchestra under circumstances that could not be sustained and permanency of the organization had to be sacri ficed. Next season the orchestra plans six concertB, and to assure, them a fund of $3000 has been promised and Is being subscribed by persons appreciating the work done so far. This amount will In sure these concerts. It will cover th expenses of the series not Including pay of performers, which will have to come from the sale of tickets. And Individually the members have ex pressed their willingness to take their chances at least once rfnore, although the remuneration the past season was not very encouraging. The Portland Symphony orchestra Is right in Its contention that the public should cooperate with the Institution, saya; the Musical Courier of New York "In New York there was presented the spectacle of an orchestra run on the communistic basis for over 60 years, the Philharmonic society, which finally be came moribund and had to consent to reorganization and readjuatment on the basis of outside control and capitalistic support. The reasons why the New York Philharmonio could no longer exist n its original scheme were pointed out frequently in the Musical Courier, which called for the present reformed condi tlons many years before the memebrs of the orchestra acknowledged the Jus tlco of this paper's criticisms. OrchfaS' tras run by the player therein lack the proper discipline and authority, both ef which must be exerted br a conduc tor Independent of the musicians under his baton. Re h tarsal I th backbone of an orchaatra that aeplrae to symphon ic statu rehearsals regular and of ten, fixed by the conductor and not de pendent on th outside angagementa cf ae4l-y Mlllaa ' hnt.U ' l -t v.v W skating rinks, political rallies,' hotel. reatauranta. cabarets, ball game, ban quets parades, beer gardens, rathskel lers roor gardens, dance halls, dive, vaudeville, moving picture houses, rag time carnivals, burlesque theatres, etc "In order to make the Portland Sym phony orchestra player Independent of such degrading musical employment. which Is Inimical to proper symphonic perrormanc because it deadena tha ar tlstlo sensibilities, wear lea the mind and body, and stiffens the fingers and wrists, thereby impairing technical eaei and accuracy in order to put Ita or- cnestra on a rooting commensurate with the culture and dignity of a city 00 large ana progressive as Portland, the citi zens of that place should start a fun toward bringing about that result, and tajce practical ateps toward maintaining tno symphony organization In such manner aa to take the worrr of finan cial responsibility off the shoulders of tne individual players. Clvlo pride de mands of the Portlandera that ther aeo ine project through succesfully. If they do not know how to make the start, let 1 11 em asK nan Francisco, Seattle. Los An. geies, and Minneapolis. It would be interesting to know how many' of the members of the symphony urcnesiraa in Ban Francisco. Seattle, Los Angejes ana Minneapolis devote their entire time to symphony work. Seattle experimented with an expensive sym pnony orchestra a year ago with the result that this season It had to get aiong wun a concert orchestra. In oth er words it flew higher than the wlnga would carry. The situation is pretty wen understood in Portland, and It la believed that the promoter of the pres ent urcmnsirs are on tne right track. Anyway they are feeling thlr way with a view of establishing something permanent. H. Hannon, who M. H. Kannon. who introduced to America. Dr. Ludwig Wullner, the con- irauo imy Koenen, and who persuaded pianist Ferrucclo Bus6nl to return to thiB oountry after a long absence, has Just made his announcement for the next season. Two of the world's great est pianists, Gottfried Galston and Max Pauer, are to make their American debuts under Mr. Hanson's manage ment. Gottfried Galston'a debut will be ine nrsi recital to be irlven In th. n.m Aeuiian nan in early November, while ma, -i iiuer win make his debut in January with the .
