The neit musical offering is scheduled for Tuesday night at the Capitol theatre when Miss Winifred Byrd will appear as so loist with the Portland Symphony orchestra. One of the most brilliant num bers on the evening's program will be theLiszt Concerto in E flat played by Miss Byrd with the orchestra. The concerto was performed for the first time at Weimar in 1855, with Liszt himself as the pianist and Berlioz the cond actor of the orchestra. The form of the composition is along the lines ot the symphonic poem, a form or iginated by Liszt. The internal de velopment is much freer than that of the symphony. The first theme is given out by A the 8 t r i n g s with interrupting chords of wood-wind and brass leading to an elaborate cadenza for the piano. The second theme. Quasi Adagio, is announced by the deeper strings, muted, and is taken up by the piano over flow ing left-hand arpeggios. A long trill for the piano, em bellished by melodies from var ious instruments of the orches tra, leads to the third section, a bright scherzo by the strings de veloped capriciously by the piano. This sectior closes with a pianis simo cadenza for the piano fol lowed by an allegro passage lead ing to the finale. The closing section employs the second theme transformed into a spirited march with "which the concerto ends.
