MUSIC <"» - AND MUSICIANS IftV in IDSUMMER dullness is affect- Invfll ing tne musical clubs and the llWll musical folk- Tne latter have ™ no objection to discussing a band concert at one of the lakes, but any weightier musical topic, •winter plans, for instance, is avoided. f'But this is not to insinuate that the > ftandL-concerts are mere trifles. On the i-ontrary, the programmes presented this summer at Como have represented distinctly ambitious effort, and Mr. Oberhoffer and his Park band at Lake Harriet have proven that pro gramjnes of substantial music will be patronized at a lake resort if the di rector and players show themselves capable of interpreting such music sat isfactorily. Perhaps one of the least successful programmes given by the latter band was that of Thursday night when excerpts from Wagner's "Parsifal" were given. The music was Intelligently read, but the audience was noticeably inattentive and mani fested little enthusiasm. The cold re ception accorded this music may be accepted as another indication that the music of "Parsifal" is not popular con cert music—and the adjective is used In the best sense. Stripped of it* stage trappings, with only musical in struments to voice the story, the sa cred music drama apparently contains no message for the majority of the people. Opinions differ about the value of this work of Wagner's, but it is well to remember that no opera whose music has not been quickly and ■with success incorporated in the con cert programme has ever attained a permanent popularity. No other opera has been so well advertised as "Par sifal," but apparently the people will have none of it in concert form though decidedly the music possesses an ap ' peal for the few. Whether, after the season Mr. Conried and Mr. Savage will make it a part of their regular repertoires, remains to be seen. If they should decide not to do so, .' there will be no appeal from the ver dict that "Parsifal" does not per manently interest those who patronize grand opera—and no one can deny that those patrons possess culture beyond the average. The T. M. C. A. will not present a concert course this season. For the first time in many seasons the associa tion decided last fall that it would not have a concert course, and this season nothing has transpired to cause it to alter that determination. The Y.

A. entertainments have always been popular priced ones, and the financial success of the course depended upon large audiences and an inexpensive auditorium. The latter they have not been able to secure—in fact, there is nothing of the sort in the city. It is possible, however, that the association will bring Mme. Johanna Gadsky to St. Paul this season, as" it brought Madame Schumann-Heink last season. Madame Gadski is to make a tour of America in concert and song recital during the coming winter. It is said that the prima donna has looked for ward for some years to this tour, and that last spring she cancelled her as-- sociation with the Metropolitan Opera company and refused an offer from Mr. Savage to sing the role of- Kundry in the English production of "Pa/sifal" in order that nothing might interfere with the plan for an entire season of concerts. Beginning in November with* an engagement with the Boston Sym phony orchestra, Mme. Gadski will go direct to the Pacific coast by way of the Northwestern cities. MUSICAL NOTES Mrs. McEarran gave an informal musicale Friday morning in the Eleanor Miller recital hall for a number of out of town pjople.

The production will be an out-of-door one and will be under the direction of L. C. Armstrong, of Montreal, who has trained the Indians. G. H. Fairclough will go to Hudson, Wis., tomorrow to open a new organ. He will be accompanied by H. E. Phil lips, the baritone, who will assist in the programme. R. C. Geddes will take Mr. Phillips' place in the St. John's quartette this morning. Mrs. Newson, Miss Petsch and Mr. Connor complete this quartette which has taken the place of the men and boys' choir.

Mrs. Ella Lamberson will leave this week for Chicago, where she will re main until Sept. 1. Mrs. S. V. Harris has resigned her position as soprano soloist at the Cathedral. Mr. and Mrs. Harris are to reside in St. James, Minn., where Mrs. Harris will have a studio. OUT OF TOWN MUSICIANS Washington rimsic lovers have de termined to place their symphony or chestra on a firm basis and next year air their men will be under contract for the season instead of receiving so much per rehearsal and concert. This is the real and only way the best re sults can be obtained. If a condactor must take into.consideration the extra cost every time he wants to call an ad ditional, rehearsal he is very much handicapped. And the fact that his men must play at dances and balls and theaters to earn a respectable liveli hood seriously militates against the smoothness of their playing and the unity of their purpose. But this subject of the permanent employment of sym phony men has been so bruited these many years that any comment at this late day is .tautological. This much may be said: With the action of the Washington people, the only prominent symphony orchestra in the country to continue with only some of its men employed outright and the others re cruited from the dance halls and the marching band, will be Cincinnati, the music center of the West. Richard Strauss, the musician who recently visited this country, told a little anecdote which will be appreci ated by musicians, and perhaps by lay men as well. He was teaching his young son the piano keyboard by the inductive sys tem, and the boy having learned all the notes, both white and black, Strauss began to review the lesson by asking, "And now, Henry, show me A flat." Henry soon figured it out. The next question was, "Where is G sharp?" That also proved easy. After asking the boy several more questions about sharps and flats, Strauss said, "Where do you think we shall find C flat?" Henry looked at the keyboard Jong and curiously; he put his finger on C, and next on B, then he got down close to tlie piano, and after examining it carefully replied: "I don't know, papa, but I guess it's gone down that crack between B and C." An amusing story is told in connec tion with the recent visit of the prom inent French composer, Saint-Saens, to England to witness the production of his opera, "Helene," at Covent garden. After one of the rehearsals he and several friends went to a small music hall in a London suburb. The pianist, who was "hitting out" the latest tunes, was a very poor player. During an interval the renowned com poser took his place and improvised. This pleased the audience, which did not know him, so much that it forced him to accompany the remainder of the songs. At the close of the pro gramme the proprietor came to him and offered to pay him six shillings, about $1.25 per night, if he would agree to remain. "I am sorry," the composer replied, "but it would not pay me. I get more in Paris." From Germany comes the news of the invention of a new instrument called the barytone Violin. It is the work of an obscure instrument maker namedv Otto Heinrichs. According to the description it is somewhat larger than a viola and is held between the knees like a cello, with a long pin sup- porting it on the floor. It is tuned like the violin, E, A, D, G, but an octave lower. To the back is attached an in geniously conceived sounding board which gives great power and brilliance of tone. This sounding board is also a great aid to the cello. From the de scription the new instrument appears very much like the gambino, which Mr. Richar Schliewen, first violin player of the local Symphony orchestra, used several seasons ago. "When I was a boy in Washington," said John Philip Sousa, "there was an old Scottish musician with whom I played now and then. One afternoon I ran through for this old gentleman a new waltz of my own composition. " 'Well, sir,' I said when I had fin ished, 'what do 3'ou think of that?' " 'It carries me back to the home land, laddie,' said the old man. 'It car ries me back to a day when I played at an entertainment in a Scottish lunatic asylum. My instrument was the fiddle, and after I had ended my fiddle solo the head of the institution said to aq aged lunatic on the front row: " ' "Weel, Saunders, how did ye like that, man?" " 'Saunders answered, frowning at me: "' "It's a quid thing we're a' daft here."'" The Forty-seventh Annual Worces ter (Mass.) Festival will take place on Sept. 28, 29 and 30. Elgar's "Dream of Gerontius" and Saint-Saens' "Samson and Delilah" are the choral works to be performed. The orchestra will be the Boston band. In the "Dream" Mrs. Ruth Tkaye Burnham, Ellison van Hoose and Francis Archambault will be the soloists. In the Saint-Saens work Mrs. Louise Homer, Edward P. Johnson, Frederic Martin and Emilio de Gogorza will be the soloists. Miss Muriel Foster, the beautiful English contralto, whose impression at the recent May festival was so pro nounced, will be back in this country next season. Miss Agnes Nicholis, the English soprano, will also come, in all probability, for a concert and recital tour. SOCIETY -Continued From Seventeenth Page The club will meet this week with Mrs. Strauss.
