President of the Trustees of the Festival. The very concept of bringing symphony concerts of the first order into the Berk- shire Hills and the first development of the project was principally her own.

The most obvious was the Congress of Vienna with its banquets, balls, and parades on the Prater. In quieter quarters, unknown to Talleyrand, Metternich or the Czar Alexander, timeless music was being composed. Beethoven, in his third-story lodging on the Seilerst'dtte, overlooking the Glacis, was occupied with his two last cello sonatas (Op. 102) in July and early August. Franz Schubert, then still unknown to Beethoven and too timid to approach the older master, was living in his father's house in the Himmel- pfortgrund (Saulengasse IX) and there finished in July his Third Symphony. Few were aware that he was busily covering music paper with notes through the year—why should Vienna at large notice the efforts of a boy of At the ONLY the Berkshire Festival this Season .STEINWAY is played by Van Cliburn Malcolm Frager Menahem Pressler Paul Ulanowsky M. STEINERT & SONS 162 boylston st. boston •Worcester, Springfield 6 — eighteen, not long out of school, trying to earn a living by teaching? There were those who knew him and enjoyed his music—a group of poets, painters, musicians, a sort of enlightened bourgeoisie, who would gather at the house of one or another of their circle and make music—music that Schubert was tireless in providing for them. He furnished in the year 1815 more than a hundred songs, including such gems as Der Erlkonig, Die Heidenroslein and Die Nonne. He wrote the little Mass in G in the spring of this year, com- pleted his Second Symphony in B-flat in March, and followed this by his Third Symphony in the summer months. Many of the songs, those fragments of his diary which have been pre- served, and the testimony of his friends, reveal a very romantic young man. He wrote in his diary in the next year: "Happy is the man who finds a true friend. Happier still is the man who finds a true friend in his wife." He was in love. The girl was Therese Grob, the daughter of a widow who ran a small silk factory near Liechtenthal. "She was no beauty," wrote Schubert's friend Anton Holzapfel, "but well-shaped, fairly buxom, with a fresh, childlike, round face, and a fine soprano voice extending to D in alt." This last point was significant. Therese sang the soprano part in his Mass in B-flat at the TIRED OF THE CITY GRIND?

He seems to have resigned himself to bachelorhood. Schubert wrote his first six symphonies between the ages of fifteen and twenty-one. Like his songs, piano, or chamber works, he intended them for immediate, friendly performance. The First Symphony he wrote for the Imperial Konvikt School where, as a choir boy, he was a scholar until his voice changed. The school orchestra, in which he played violin or viola, according to needs, undoubtedly performed the First Symphony and later ones as well. A private music-making group of Schubert's friends frequently met to try out symphonies, and Schubert's must have been found eminently suit- able, for they were tailored for modest forces and made no unreasonable demands on average skills. Symphonies by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven's first two were their staple, together with contemporary works which were read over at their sessions.
