For those who, ere anxious to under
stand how to listen to orchestral music,
there lis a helpful new book, at the pub
lic library called The Orchestra and
How to Listen to If - by M. Montagu
Nathan. Though small,' the volume points
the way to a knowledge of theL constitu
ent parts and their method of sound-production
and grouping, so that one may
understand how easy it is to increase his
enjoyment a hundred fold -if he will de
vote a. few hours' attention to a fairly
simple matter. Very clearly the primary
orchestral groups are explained, as well
as the principles of sound production.
Each; instrument and its tone quality is
then I discussed and illustrations will 'be
found grouped at the end of the book.
where musical quotations are given for
tnose who need them and to supplement
the text. The collective orchestra, -the
score; and the conductor are taken up in
separate chapters.' i . i
American composers are said to owe
a debt of gratitude to the late Arthur P.
Schmidt, for 54 years engaged in music
publishing who died recently at his home
in Jamaica Plain Boston, in his seventy
fifth; year. Mr. Schmidt to the end of his
career devoted himself to. the upbuilding
of native art and he largely made pos
sible the so-called "New England group"
for which he published chamber music,
orchestral and other works that he knew
could not defray their own cost.- Besides
the late Edward MacDowelL John
Knowles Paine; and Horatio , Parker,
some of those whom he early aided were
Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, Arthur Foote,
George W. Chad wick and Frederick
converse.

matic rendition of Niels Gades cantata.

varied experiences hold -. the' 'attention
closely,'!.- She composed many of her own
songs and there are illuminating notes
about these, the most famous being the
cycle called "In a Persian Garden." After
losing one of her sons in the late war
she became . interested " in. seeking ; for
proofs of the "after-life.'' Scarcely two
weeks after completing these 'memoirs,

"Traviata Addio . del passato," . a
Victor record the public has long been
asking for, is one of Mme. Galli-Curcl's
new productiona Violetta in act III
gazing into a mirror and realizing that
she is dying sings of her changed ap
pearance. She remembers her. past
gayety and freedom from care, sings In
the most touching melody of the change
that has come over her through love
and misunderstanding. . '
Practically - everyone knows "In Old
Madrid." Though the words are in
English, the theme and the rhythm sound
as thoroughly Spanish as anything that
ever came - out ' of - Spain. ' Kmilio - de
Gogorza's singing lends to it the final
touch of perfection. Introduced by the
orchestra and a clacking , of castanets
his voice rises splendid, masculine, con
veying with subtly, intermingled art
and human sympathy the message -of
.the song that however sweet love may
be, love and life are ftoeting, and abide
securely but in the memory alone.
Once .more Kreisler turns the superb
tone of his violin and his fineness of
interpretation to a popular number the
familiar waltz "On Miami Shore."
There are . bits of double-stopping here
and ; there touches - of exquisite har
mony, but in the main it is a. simple
melody" splendidly interpreted.
In "Mazie Fox Trot," played by the
All Star trio with their . orchestra, a
surprise comes when the energetic dance
is drowned under a chorus of lovesick
human walls for Mazie. - These are
echoed by the trombone and saxophone
in one of the funniest passages ever put
into a dance record.

Martha Reynolds appeared In a success
