There are a number of beautiful pict
Uros taken from the 'op of the Pali?

between Carmen and the cigarette girl
is another thrilling bit of photographs.

"MANFRED" MUSIC
AND ITS COMPOSFJ
Phenomenal Performance of
Pianoforte Concerto by
Mr. Grainier.
By H. E. KKEHBIEL.
The second Sunday afternoon conee
of the Symphony Society at Avolia
Rail yesterday ?was concerned srhell
???h sesaposltions by Tachaihowah
They were the "Manfred" sytnph'.i.y. tl
Andante Cantabile from the strin
quartet, Op. It, aadthe Pianoforte '"or
cerfo in B-fla?. minor, the ?<ilo part t
which ares played by Percy Grainge
Not loner Sito Mr. Dnmro?ch devote,1 n
entire serie? of concerts to th" RttOaia
compn.ci'. Would such, an expenmer
be received with enthusiasm Bowl \\
doubt it. And yet Tschaikowky
still the most popular compos?t thi
Ru??ia hu? produced. If there il ?o;n<
thing paradoxical in this,
plained by the fact that our orchestn
conductors have surfei'o?! the publi
with th? 'Pathetic" symphony. Yc
years it was a veritable obce??ion. The
the question began to be tnoote
whether th" symphony in E minor Wl
not a more enduring work, and no
there are evidence? that the F nun?i
is crowding both of its loeceaaon 01
<?f the Bold. That it ?hould do so I
? natural, right and proper, for it is th
soundest, sanest and BtOSt chai
cally rational of the three symphonie
, which have held their plsce in th
repertory of symphonic organization^
"Manfred" has been known in Ndlv Tor
for twenty-nine year? nn?l been plays
by nenrlv all of our local and visitin
orchestrr.>; but it has never won th
popular heart. Yet it i? almost a
autobiographic*' in cpir;t a? the "Pi
thetic" s)mphony, whoae title raeeivi
its greatest, justification from the stor
of its coTiposition and first perform
mice. There was something in th
nature of the man Tschaikowsky whic
likened bun to Byron's hero. Thos
w'no knew him recognised In him
trong man, but on., profoundly melan
choly and a victim of self torture; on
who lived in a lOlitud? Heated by hiir
elf, which to him was a -i?1
tud? '?peopled with the funes." il
seemed always to be itrugglin
nt;;iiii?t a crushing weight of ipil
itual and mental gloom which n

could exorcise. In trying to depu
Manfred he put much of himself ?III
hi? earlier work, though h? could nc
,-nd into the dark p I ?f possimisn
as ha did m the "Pathetie," for th
?imple reason that the poet, who wa
the Virgil to hi? Dante, would not If
him. After all, there il a ray of com
fortin, hope in the last words o
Byron? hero. "Old man! 'tis not i
difficult t<. die." The hero of the I
minor lymphony sinks into the depth
of darhnen and deapeir with a -hud
der which the listeners to the niu.-f
feel bit h him.
Whin Mr. Damrosch gave his Tachai
.,,' Im cycle, we believe, he announcei
'he "Manfred" -yrnnhonv tentatively
I.ut did not perform it. Perhaps he wa
not in sympathy with it then: he ma?
not In- now, but ,1" --il. the fact was no
betrayed by his performance yesterr|a\
which was full of warm dramatic bloo
and as changed with the ipirlt of th?
poem as it could well be. consideri i |
its rerbesity, a defect that Tachai
kowsky himself recognised and de
plored, and the chasm which mus' al
