World," which was to be printed for its first performance in Berlin. This would seem to settle the controversy which the appearance of the work aroused, a con- troversy which long ago died. The Sym- phony remains, however, to be enjoyed as music—beautiful music—in which the deli- cately sensitive and emotional Bohemian sings his longing for his home country, and voices his heart's desire and his homesickness in heart-searching melodies. These melodies are his own, influenced doubtless by the negro spirituals and Indian tunes in which he was interested, and of which only a suggestion is offered, and that only rarely.

The opening melody of the First Movement voices immediately those longings which are so frequently and poignantly expressed throughout the work. About the middle of this part of the Symphony there is one of those rare instances of his having employed negro tunes, for one finds a fragment of the spiritual "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," which is developed brilliantly, forming the theme of the whole last part of this movement.

" /^\MIT that nonsense about my having V-/ made use of Indian and American theme—that is a lie—I tried to write only in the spirit of those national American melodies." So Dvorak wrote correcting an analysis of the Symphony "From the New

It is the Second Movement that most fullyexpresses the homesickness, and in which ardent longing for the familiar scenes of his native Bohemia is most easily recognized. This famous Largo is one of Dvorak's noblest and most poetic conceptions. In it he wrote what his heart dictated, and there is in this haunting music something akin to the "brooding spirit of forest depths and virgin solitudes."

In the Third Movement, though a lively Scherzo, Dvorak cannot wholly obliterate the longing which gives color to the whole work. In the midst of its gaiety there is a song-like melody, and toward the end the theme of the opening of the First Movement is heard again.

In the Fourth Movement it is once more introduced like a wraith haunting a festival. Although it comes with spectral delicacy its definite presence again reveals that for all its brief attempt at gaiety, the old heartache underlies it all.

Played by ERNST VON DOHNANYI 63141G Waltz, Op. 18 "The Veil of

Pierrette" ....................Dohnanyi 1 .75 ALL THE romance and tragedy of the . stage seem epitomized in Pierrot and Pierrette, those appealing little figures who express so much of comedy but in whose hearts love is aflame and where grief also abides.

The story in Dohnanyi's "Pantomime" music, of which this lovely waltz is a part, tells of the heartache of Pierrette, who will not marry the hated Harlequin, and so she goes to her beloved Pierrot. They will drink poison and be united forever in death. But Pierrot alone takes the deadly potion and Pierrette is forced to return for the marriage with her unwelcome lover. He notices the absence of her veil which she has left wrapped about the form of Pierrot. Together they return to the room in which his body lies. With hideous cruelty Harlequin attacks the dead Pierrot and locks his bride in the room with the corpse. The ordeal is too great; the pinions of her spirit droop and fall and in her delirium she dances and expires.

Plaved by LEO ORNSTEIN 63153H Ballade, Op. 52, No. 4, F

Minor .............................. Chopin 2 .00 THIS masterpiece presents one of the mysteries of piano literature; for Chopin has never revealed, nor even hinted, at the story he would tell in its glowing pages. There is no reference in any of his letters or his remembered conversations that gives a clue to its meaning. It remains alone amongst his writings in the ballad form unexplained and unsolved.

Except for its significant opening phrases it is less in the narrative style than any of the other three. It is introspective and tinged throughout with a melancholy of such sweetness and pathos that it seems indelibly associated with some heartfelt episode in Chopin's own life. It seems as if, while engaged in its composition, he was reminded of something in his own career closely match- ing what he would set forth and, unable thereafter to remove it from his mind, gave instead the music of his own mood and the emotions created by the reminiscence.

It is suffused with longing and sadness. Its first theme is repeated many times, and with each recurrence it is delivered with greater emphasis, like a reiterated determ- ination never to reveal its mysterious message. All its melody, and the unforgettable loveli- ness of its whispered phrases, speak only vaguely of secrets which Chopin could never share with the world. Transcribed and Played by L. LESLIE LOTH 63173G The Ice Skaters (Les Patin-

eurs) Waltzes.... Waldteufel 1 .75 PIANO factory employee and Imperial Pianist, both were episodes in the life of Emil Waldteufel, the composer of this delightful waltz. He graduated from the Paris Conservatory and subsequently found employment with the makers of the instru- ment for which he was to write so brilliantly, and on which he was himself to perform as Court Pianist to the Empress Eugenie. His waltzes, of which there are hundreds, are hardly less famous than those of Johann Strauss. Each has its showy introduction and captivating variations of dulcet themes, concluding with a superb tonal climax, calling upon all the resources of the piano, and all the pianistic skill of the pianist.

indicate. In these Ampico recordings, to which Mr. Bodanzky, Mr. Altschuler and Richard Strauss lend their genius as conductors, there are provided interpretations of the great master- pieces of orchestral writing in the pianoforte arrangements of master musicians.

IN THE Ampico recordings oforchestral works, overtures, sym- phonies and symphonic poems, amazing results have been obtained in imparting to them much of the effective color obtained by the or- chestra. This does not mean that there is an unceasing stream of excessive volume—far from it — for in all orchestral works there are many pages of exquisite delicacy, often sung by one or two instruments and simple melodies and harmonic passages easily within the province of a single pair of hands. It is only where a tonal background is arranged in one register of the piano for the effective setting of a melody played in quite another register or when the orchestral torrent is at flood, that the music requires the united effort of the two pianists. It is then employed with telling and brilliant effect. In making these recordings the conductor waves his baton and imparts his individual reading to the performance, precisely as he influences and directs the men of his orchestra. The pianists are, like the musicians in the orchestral band, pliant to the will of the conductor,, varying the nuances of the reading as his gestures and beat

THE piano was invented in 1706by Bartolomeo Cristofori, two hundred and eighteen years ago.

Up to that time the favored and generally used keyboard instruments were the Clavichord and Harpsichord. The Clavichord, an instrument of very delicate, beautiful and emotional tone, was suitable only for hearing in a comparatively small and absolutely silent room. The Harpsichord was the instrument which was used for public performances. It had two banks of keys, and the keys were plucked by means of "jacks" set in operation by pressing the keys. The plucking device was made of different substances such as goose quills, wood, leather, etc., each of which provided a different quality of tone which enabled the performer to obtain a considerable variety of effects.

Except that the strings would give forth a more vigorous tone when plucked by a hard substance like wood, than when plucked by a more yielding substance such as leather, it was nearly impossible to graduate the tone, and it was to achieve the possibility of playing loud and soft at will that Cristofori devised his "Piano e forte," which are Italian words for "Soft and Loud."

It was too great an innovation for the musicians of that day. Bach would have none of it. Mozart re- garded it with disfavor, although he subsequently adopted it and became a great pianist. Handel, who was a celebrated Harpsichord player, refused to abandon the instrument which he played with such skill, and never regarded the piano as worthy of his attention.

Earliest Piano Recital a Sensation of the Musical Season

in Paris in 1781

and the instruments bearing his name were amongst the finest made at the time.

Amongst Clementi's famous pupils was John Field, who took rank with the finest pianists of Europe. It will be remembered that it was John Field that first applied the term " Nocturne " to a musical composition and from whom Chopin obtained the idea which he subsequently developed in his famous works bearing that title.

Clementi lived to be eighty, his old age crowned with distinctions and honors. He maintained his charac- teristic energy and freshness of mind to the last. He died at Evesham, Worcestershire, England, and is buried in the cloisters of Westminster Abbey.

Cristofori did not live to see hisinvention accepted as the great contri- bution to the Art of Music that it eventually proved to be, for it was very late in the eighteenth century before it could be said to have made much progress.

The first musician to abandon the earlier instruments and to devote his talents exclusively to the piano was Muzio Clementi. He was the first real pianist. As Viotti has been called "The Father of the Violin" so Clementi must be regarded as the originator of the true method of the pianoforte as distinguished from the Harpsichord. His example as a per- former and teacher, together with his compositions have left an indelible mark on everything that pertains to the piano, both mechanical and spiritual. His works fill a large place in the records of piano playing that are indispensable to pianists to this day, and must remain so. He was the most potent instrumentality in estab- lishing the piano in popular ^ favor and in bringing about its final triumph in vanquishing the Clavichord and Harpsichord.

Not only was Clementi a dis- tinguished pianist with an incredible technique, but he was a conductor of authority and, as has been shown, a composer of great distinction. He may be said in his sonatas to have foreshadowed Beethoven, and it is significant that in Beethoven's scant musical library a large number of Clementi's sonatas were found.

This remarkable man also possessed great commercial talents, rare in great artists. He had an interest in the piano firm of Longman and Broderip. The failure of that house, through which he sustained heavy losses, led him to undertake the making of pianos himself. He carried the venture to a magnificent success

IN THE little town of Mulhausen,Bohemia, old Franz was a butcher. His son, Antonin, now grown to an age when he could be useful, would, if his father was to have his way, be a butcher too, but there was some- thing: the matter with the lad. Cus-tomers complained of the delay of the arrival of the cut- lets for dinner. He would steal away from work and be gone an uncon- scionable time. By and by the secret was out—the boy loved music— and the arrival in the village of an itinerant band or chorus of wander- ing gypsies was too much for him and he would follow them through the streets enraptured with their music, forgetting the wait- ing customers and the busy butcher shop, even his own hunger and weariness.

He besought the village schoolmaster to teach him to sing, and he acquired from the same kindly master a super- ficial knowledge of the violin. Soon he was sufficiently accomplished to sing an occasional solo in church, and his father, though proud of his son's musical accomplishments, reluctantly abandoned the idea of making him a butcher—he must be a great musician instead.

And a great musician he became, for his name is emblazoned amongst the immortals, Antonin Dvorak.

When one remembers his humble origin, his early training, and his lack of general education, his achieve- ments in music are the more remark-

able and bear the s t a m p of real genius for they came from a spirit to whom the gods had g i v e n an understanding o f the l a n g u a g e of music and his employment of it has given to the world utterances of haunting and in- dividual beauty.

Dvorak spent the years from 1892 to 1895 in America as Director of the National Conserv- atory in New York, and it was during this period that he composed the much discussed New World Symphony.

A controversy regarding it arose because Dvorak had publicly expressed his belief that there was in the songs of the negroes of America "a sure foundation for a national school of music," and that the intelligent culti- vation of them by American com= posers might result in an American school of composition. Much dis- cussion arose through a mistaken notion that by "American music" Dvorak meant the songs of Stephen C. Foster and other contributors to

old-time negro minstrelsy and thatthe "school" to which he referred was to devote itself to the writing of variations on the "Old Folks at Home" and tunes of its class. Such a blunder seems incredible, especially on the part of musicians who had an opportunity to study the methods of Dvorak in his published compositions.

Henry Krehbiel, the distinguished critic, who was deeply interested in the conception and birth of the New World Symphony, in taking his part in the controversy deplores the fact that American musicians have re- mained indifferent to the treasures of folk music which America contains, believing that the most vital part of our folk song has come from the negro slaves of the South, partly because those slaves lived in the period of emotional, intellectual and social development which produces folk song, partly because they lived a life that promoted utterance in song, and partly because, as a race, the negroes are musical by nature. Dr. Dvorak has not, as will already be seen, made extensive use of such music in his New World Symphony, but there can be no question but what its melodies, while entirely the creation of his own brain, have been influenced by the tunes and the idiom of negro music. He has written what his heart dictated, influenced by the melodic peculiarities of the negro music in which he was interested, and by his environment and the emotions aroused by change of land and the influence of an abode foreign to his native instincts.

Dvorak's music always bears striking characteristics, an inexhaustible wealth of melodic invention, a rich variety of coloring, and a certain unexpectedness from which none of his works are wholly free. The imaginative faculty is very strongly developed, and is at his best when treating subjects in

which the romantic element is prom- inent. He invests his ideas with a fresh charm which clearly points to the genuineness of his genius. His "Humoresque" is one of the most beautiful and popular compositions known to us, "The Indian Lament" another favorite, and there exists no more beautiful lyric utterance than "The Songs My Mother Taught Me," all of which are available in Ampico recordings.

Her Mother—John, I think Helen's voice should be cultivated, if it doesn't cost too much.

Her Father—It can't cost too much if it will improve it any.
