Th following account -. from the Westminster- Gasette' of a concert given in London last spring by Benno Molseiwltch. soloist with the Portland Symphony orchestra on January 10. shows the tremendous enthusiasm the art of this pianist has awakened in th ' muslo center of the world: "If the Queen's hall has ever held a big ger audience than last night. It would be Interesting to know when It was. Molseiwltch was playing, however, and that wag sufficient. And, of course, he played as he always doeeamas Ingly well, not only "with the utmost technical brilliance, but with the most winning charm and refinement of style." The program referred to was devoted almost entirely- to Russian music and included the . Rachmaninoff concerto No. 1 In C minor, which Molseiwltch "lias recently played with the Minne apolis Symphony orchestra, and which h will also play to Portlands The orchestral numbers which Carl Den- T ion is renearsing witn tne orcnestra xor in January 10 concert arc given In the Fourth Symphony Society Bul letin of Educational Notes, which- is now ready for distribution.

He ex plains that each group of talents per forms a specific and definite function In the making of the artist. In other words, when - the : musician works : his miracles in -his audience through th medium of his voice or Instrument, he Is exerclftlng not one single power or capacity possessed by. him, but a helr archy or cluster of powers functioning together to produce the single effect. Musical talent, as - a whole, therefore, he finds, consists of scores of Individu al, elemental, specific capacities, each contributing- Its share to the making of th artist. . These specific talents that constitute musical talent as a whole he summarise under four heads... musical feeling, musical understanding, musical sensitivity and musical virtuosity, the four forming the emotional, the intel lectual, the sensory and the motor basis of; musical artistry, This means that an artistic rendition. of a musical com position la conditioned upon the- intens ity 5 with, whloh the artlsV experiences its emotional content; his intellectual grasp of the composition in content and structure, the sensitivity of hta ear In such matters as intonation, timbre, dy namics, etc, and finally, upon his tech nical equipment by meanse - of which the other factors of musical interpreta tion arefenabled to functloruv He says talent for muaio Is a gift bestowed by nature upon, different persons very tin equally. He points out the extremes of the musical genius, with marked talent and on the other hand the on with no talent - whatever. Between these two extreraa are many degroea Then again there is - the person who possesses all th prereauisits of musical j talent, mu sical sensitivity; musical feeling and musical understanding, but lacks musi cal vtrtnosity. That is the technical basis of musical production; lAgain. the reverse of. this condition is found. ; It is rarely one is .found gifted with all the prerequisites.: : Marty other articles of much interest ara found in this issue of this publication, which fills an Im portant part:tn. the -musical life In America.

At her reentry into -the American musical world last season. Calve created a sensation.

No one who is interested - in really great singing should miss the oppor tunity of bearing this superlative mis tress of that difficult art", wrote Henry T. Fink of th Evening Post 1 was not only thrilled by the mem ories of the Calve of old. but by the matchless voice and art of the Calve of today.
