ton, John Bayley and JUarold Bayley. I and the flrat part of the aympbony wae
. 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.

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

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

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.

Gentlemen: Having lived for a number of years in musical Boston,
I have had ample opportunity to study the piano situation. It is
significant that while there was great rivalry among a number of
pianos, Steinway stood nobly at the head of the Jist as solidly and
stately .as Gibraltar stands upon its base. Steinway has tio rivals.
My own Steinway Grand Piano is a continual source of joy.
Respectfully, .
