Eroica" to Be
Symphony at
Next Concert
BEETHOVEN wrote to his publisher!
In 1804 that he was sending thern
' the manuscript of a new symphony that
he thought would please the publio taste.
This proved to be the "Eroica." which
w ill be presented by the Portland Sym
phony orchestra at the Heilig: .theatre,
Wednesday evening, December 8.
Originally, the 'Eroica" was called
the, Napoleonic symphony and dedicated
to Its great namesake. Beethoven was
displeased, . however, . with Napoleon's
' imperial assumptions, and thereupon
generalized its dedication, calling It the
"'Krolca." in celebration of thet attatn
- menu of the typiesl great man, rather
, than of a specific figure. V
In the "Eroica.' Beethoven, always an
innovator, ' finally abandons Mozartlan
precedent and makes his distinct per
sonal contribution to symphonic struc
ture. He connects bis- themes by the
una of related iihraRes. rather than bv
the introduction of irrelevant passages'
in Mozartlan fashion. His working up,
of the melody. to its climax in, the first
. movement and. his employment of vari
ations in the finale are again character
istic Innovations. Again, the 'EroieaMi
illustrates the quality of bis contribution
to program music ' . -"
- Wagner, whose overture' to ! "Riensr
will appear on the same , program with
"the "Eroica," planned to reform opera
from the standpoint of Beethoven's
music; - relating music to emotion as it
had' not been related by the earlier
Italians. By his more elaborate treat
ment of the Instruments, with a view
!. to getting full chords from each., he
enriches above Beethoven the quality of
tone produced by his symphonic orches
" tras. V
Liszt's concerto in E flat, in which
Josef Lhevinne's genius will be heard
to advantage with the orchestra. Is the
more often played of the composer's two
fine concertos. It follows , in structure
the lines of the symphonic poem, a
musical form developed by Liszt him
self. -The program is as follows: -

- The rfiuslcale last Friday, " under the
supervision of Marie A. S. Soule, was
thoroughly enjoyed by a crowds house
of music students, a large number of
whom participated in the Bach program
in the capacity of soloists or as mem
bers ' of the department of musical re
search. A portion of the fete consisted
of contests in harmony, musical funda
me.ntals and technical -proficiency. Gor

rnusia. and the origin of musical instru
ments. Philip Silver read an address,
entitled 'Bachr His Life, Work and
Importance in Musical History." Eliza
beth Martin, in a brief .resume of Bach,
set forth some important phases of his
life,- and Hazel Weinsteln presented a
. lucid- analysis of the forms of music
' characteristic of that period. After
thes discourses a program of the more
attractive compositions by Bach were
- offered by Grace Parke, William Rob
lin, Dorothy Hawkins, Leah Spellman,
' Donna Roblin, Mollie Dubinsky, Hazel
Weinsteln, Alice Follettand Elza Utiles,

For the purpose of showing students
of music how the subject should be
taught in the grade schools, Mrs. Anna
Landsbury Beck of the. School' of Music
faculty of the University of Oregon,
spent last week 'instructing in the first
five grades in one of the Eugene grade
schools. '
In addition to showing the methods of
teaching voice to school children,. Mrs.
Beck demonstrates to the student teach-
ers methods of instruction in music ap
preciation. Educational talking machine
records are used for this purpose, and the
instruction touches on the Subjects of
rhythm and melody. The music la chosen
to suit the understanding of the children,
says Mrs. Beck, and is within the grasp
even of the little ones in the first grade,
so that the children are taught to be in
telligent listeners.,
There are at present 16 students In the
School of Music, who are workinir for
certificates as supervisors of public

University of
Minnesota to
Send Glee Club
THE .University of Minnesota Glee club
is recognized as one of the finest
glee clubs in the country and will be
presented in a program by Laurance A.
Lambert in The Auditorium during the
last week in December, r
This will be of particular interest to
the many college students and university
students who will be at Portland during
that time on their Christmas holidays.
This will be the first trip to the Pa
cific coast of this organisation, and since
Its program will be' particularly versa
tile, including instrumental and vocal
ensembles, solos, duets and quartet
work, undoubtedly the music lovers of
the clt? will respond by greeting this
club with a very large audience. De
tails as to the personnel of the organi
zation and their program will be an
nounced shortly.
Word comes to Moscow, Idaho, from
Paris that Miss Ella Kennell. born and.
reared in Colfax, Wash, and educated. in
the schools of Colfax, Washington State
college at Pullman and the Boston .Con
servatory of Music, who won laurels as
a grand opera singer in Europe before
and during the war, is the first woman
to receive a diploma in the law college
of Paris and is now a fully authorized
practitioner of law in France.
Miss Kennell went to Paris several
years before the war, just after she had
graduated in music in Boston, under a
contract for one year to a grand opera
company. Her work was so satisfactory
that she remained for several years and
sang In all of the European capitals and
had won much fame. When the war
broke out she returned to America, but
later went to France and took up war
work, .singlng in the Y, M. C. A. camps
throughout the war sone.
The Paria edition of the New York
Herald says of Miss Kennell's admidslon
to the bar: "Miss Ella Kennell, who is
well known as a brilliant vocalist, hav
ing sung frequently before Parisian
audiences, is the first woman to receive
a diploma in the law group of courses
for foreign students at the University
of Paris." ' .
Receipt of this paper was a surprise
to Miss Kennell's relatives and friends
who had not been appraised of the fact
that she had taken up the study of law
in addition to her work and triumphs as
a grand opera singer. .It is not known
whether she plans to take up the prac
tice of law to the exclusion of singing
or to carry on both professions, as the
brief letter in which she announced
thi.t she "had passed" and containing
clippings from Paria papers telling of
her admission to the bar, did not men
tion her plans for the future.

traveling in the West Only when Mme.
Alda sought the boy's parents and ad

THE . fifth annual convention of the

ple prefer instrumental music to vocal,
they will welcome Mr. Brown's selec

by the Columbia orchestra.
Jan Kubelik. is with us again, having
appeared la concert at the New York
Hippodrome after an absence of six
years. Regarding the famous Bohemian's
art of today the New York critics seemed
to agree that it did not come up to ex
pectations. One of them discerned his
technique "by no means flawless and
his intonation frequently at fault," while
another said his playing was deficient
in tone and the wizardry of his tech
nique seemed to have departed, except
ing fn Paganinis' concerto in D. in which
he was the same "Magical Kubllk."
Still another recorded the opinion that
Kubelllt was rather a disappointing
exhibition of violin playing."
In view of these opinions, one is tempt
ed to ask if Kubelik ever was the vio
linist he was- cracked up to be through
sensational advertising methods in the
early days of his career. It is recalled
that at his premier appearance in Ber
lin the cables carried to America news
of a most wonderful reception by a
packed ' auditorium, with huge crowds
turned away, that this memorable pre
miere was given in a small auditorium
that could easily be packed, and that
therefore the affair was not the sensa
tion that the cables indicated. However,
Kubelik is a violinist of rare ability,1
that no one will deny. ;
The famous Paris'-opera, which re
mained closed during many years of the
war, may have to close for good or it

may be turned Into a more paying ven
ture. The deficit this year looms so
large that It is doubtful whether the!
state subvention will cover It.
Since 1913 the cost of running the
opera has trebled. It cost about $600,000
to do so in 1913. as against almost
12,000,000 last year. i i
- Salary . advances amount . to almost
a million dollars since the war, while
accessories have gone up fabulously. i
Ballet slippers, for instance, absorbed
only 82000 in : 1913. Thia year 820,000
were spent on them. i i
In 1913 is cost S6000 a year to heat
and light the opera building. Last year
it cost $60,000: t
Today a single performance at tbe
opera means an outlay of about $8000,
and this amount Is further increased 3
per cent by taxation. . !
It is said that tha strike of the opera
personnel, which took place last week;
came as a godsend to the management,
who hope in this way to save a few
xranca lor the winter.
