"SYMPHONY IN PEN"

Indicative of the attention which has been aroused by the present exhibition of sketches and paintings by Donald Greason, now on view in the exhibition foyer, are reviews by William Germain Dooley, in the "Boston Evening Tran- script," and Dorothy Adlow, in the "Christian Science Monitor."

Mr. Dooley has written in part: "Donald Greason has given the Bos- ton orchestra a sympathetic study and interpreted it with an artistic skill that is worthy of a Koussevitzky or a Muck. His is the style of color restraint, of nervous line that communicates signifi- cant impressions with the economy that only comes from careful and gifted survey of the visual problem.

"In this case we can acclaim the coming to full powers of a great Amer- ican artist. For Donald Greason is a draughtsman on a plane unrealized by previous workers of his craft in this ;«*. country.

"For some years, we have had an opportunity to follow the talents of Donald Greason. He is an artist of a peculiar sensitiveness which cannot be compared with any one trend in paint- ing today. Mr. Greason cuts his own path, through thought and observation. While his landscapes and views of Rockport interested us a season ago for a delicate atmospheric quality, we find that he has come into full stride in an exhibition which is being shown at Symphony Hall.

[ 1064 ] "PELLEAS AND MELISANDE," Orchestral Suite, Op. 80, taken from the Stage Music to Maeterlinck's Play By Gabriel Faure

Born at Pamiers (Ariege), France, May 12, 1845; died at Passy, November 4, 1924

first Composed in 1898, Faure 's incidental music to Maeterlinck's play was heard in the production given in London, June 21, 1898, with Mrs. Patrick Campbell. There was a performance at the Boston Theatre in Boston, also by Mrs. Campbell's company, April 12, 1902. The suite drawn from this music was

first performed at a Lamoureux concert in Paris, February 3, 1901. It was intro- duced in Boston at a concert of the New England Conservatory Orchestra, March 8, 1904. There was a performance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, December 17, 1904, and again December 2, 1905. Vincent d'Indy, as guest, conducted it March 18, 1911. The most recent performance was November 23, 1923. The orchestration calls for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, timpani, harps, and strings.

' jyELL£AS ET MELISANDE," with Faure's incidental music, was *L produced four years before the first performance of Debussy's opera on the same play (the play without music had been published

in 1892 and first staged in Paris at the Bouffes Parisiens, May 17, 1893).

The first of the three movements in Gabriel Faure's suite is the

prelude to the play. Quasi adagio, it develops two themes of lyric

The second movement, "Fileuse," is an entr'acte in preparation for the third act where, in a room in the castle, "Pelleas and Melisande are discovered, Melisande spinning with a distaff at the back of the room." It is based upon a spinning figure in triplets (andantino quasi allegretto), which is given to the violins and occasionally alternated with the violas. The third movement, molto adagio, is associated with the tragic closing scene where Melisande dies in the presence of the aged Arkel, Golaud her husband, the physician, and the servants of the castle.

Melisande. Is it you, grandfather? Arkel. Yes, my child. What do you wish me to do?

Melisande. Is it true that winter is here? Arkel. Why do you ask?

Melisande. Because it is cold, and there are no more leaves. Arkel. Are you cold? Do you wish the windows shut? Melisande. No, no, not until the sun has sunk into the sea. It sets slowly; so winter has begun? Arkel. Yes. You do not like winter? Melisande. Oh no. I am afraid of the cold. I dread the bitter cold. Arkel. Do you feel better? Melisande. Yes; yes; I no longer have all those anxieties. Arkel. Do you wish to see your child?

[ 1071 ] If a man lives to the threshold of eighty and labors sixty of his years in the musical vineyard; if he writes much — songs, chamber music, even an opera or two, and these works are duly performed and ap- proved; if he holds honorable post as organist in the churches of Paris, and heads the Conservatoire as its director for fifteen years; if he is made a member of the Institute, decorated by the Legion d'Honneur; if he is given a testimonial concert by government decree in the pres- ence of officialdom, and is praised, with becoming phraseology, by the Prime Minister himself — then that man will be called an illustrious citizen who has served his art well and received his just reward. Many, probably most people, seeing that those things had happened to the venerable Gabriel Faure, comforted themselves with the thought that a musician of integrity, industry and modesty had surely had what was coming to him. After all, this mild and deferential old gentle- man, with his pretty salon pieces, was no Saint-Saens, whose fame and music had penetrated to all corners of the earth; no Massenet or Gounod, whose works were enthroned, as if for immortality, at the Opera. A politician at the Sorbonne, during the magnificent ceremony in his honor, was heard to murmur to his neighbor: "Gabriel Faure — who is he?" So was Gabriel Faure recognized in his time, officially feted in his old age. The Republic could hardly have done more, and it is agree-

[ 1073 ] able to add that the concert brought the composer a round sum of

money when he much needed it. For the rest, he was undoubtedly touched at the national tribute to which the Sorbonne itself was given over, on June 21, 1922, impressed at beholding himself virtually canonized in his own presence. Perhaps the benign and unobtrusive

composer was also a bit startled at the brilliant glare of universal at- tention which fell suddenly upon his snow-white head. In truth, those who knew Faure well must have seen something profoundly incongruous in all this. The special, fragile charm which was the essential quality of Faure's music could not have been really known to more than a very few of these people. His nature was not

the sort for public recognition, for it was not the sort for general apprehension. As has happened before, the external circumstances of a "successful" career fell far short of telling the whole story. That story received its juster valuation by a few musicians shortly before his death, by many musicians afterwards.* Faure has had his posthumous deification by those who pass judg-

*In the year of the national act of homage, La Revue Musicale devoted an entire issue to Gabriel Faure' There were articles by Nadia Boulanger, Rene Chalupt, Alfred Cortot, J. J. Roger-Ducasse, Charles Koechlin, Maurice Ravel, Florent Schmitt, Emile Vuillermoz. A month before his death, an article appeared in the Musical Quarterly by Aaron Copland, in which that discerning musician drew the attention of those outside of France to a music of par- ticular beauty which had until then passed with very little notice. After Faure's death, there were numerous further tributes, including biographies in book form by Charles Koechlin and Georges Servieres, and a paper, subsequently published, which Alfred Bruneau read to his fellow members of the Institute at the Academie des Beaux Arts.

[ 1074 ] ment upon ultimate musical values. This more careful valuation was bound to come slowly, if only on account of the fact that the com- poser had never in his life done anything to attract more than the very casual attention which most music receives. He had never put forward any bold innovation such as engages public interest by in- ducing the clash of lance upon lance. Nor had he courted enormous popular favor by over-ripe tunes in the manner of his immediate masters. A composer who mildly accepts a heritage of sweet euphony in common chords and habitual melodic contours, and turns this familiar matter to his own delicate uses, will be ignored by the multi- tude hardly less than by the connoisseurs, who will note the bland and unprovocative exterior and turn away without bothering to inquire more closely. There were even those among his colleagues who had for years looked upon him as no more than an agreeable and talented com- panion who occasionally wrote pretty little things. When this pleasant musician showed no disposition at fifty to settle back into an easy routine, but continued to refine and improve upon his creative work, there came a more considered scrutiny of his music piece by piece, a dawning perception at last of the elusive values beneath its seeming suave and featureless surface. This appreciation grew by gradual

[ 1075 ] stages, from year to year; so likewise did Faure's own inner mastery. And as the fulsome tides of romanticism began to recede, that light aroma of his music, compounded of symmetry, reticence, and delicate feeling came to be more clearly perceived. "A classicist," Paul Lan- dormy has called him, "but a classicist of the French type, more closely related to Couperin and Rameau than to Mozart or Beethoven, of live and delicate sensibility, capable of all the subtleties, of all the fine shades of emotion. His language, always moderated, is like well- bred discourse. He never raises his voice too high. He works in quiet colors. He is most discreet. He leaves much to be inferred. And his reserve is sometimes quite as eloquent as louder outbursts." The growth of Faure's music in the general estimation progressed rapidly enough after his death — within the borders of France. Eulogies by French writers have been without number. But most have noted a special quality in his music which seems to bar it to the non-French understanding. "To speak of Faure," wrote M. Landormy, "is to speak, in a way, of what is most intimate and most secret in the genius of France." And Emile Vuillermoz has probed this phenomenon of national limitations more deeply: "It is difficult to speak not only of the 'Requiem' but of all Faure's works to listeners not born on French soil. This music has such a special accent and buries its roots so deeply

[ 1077 ] in French ground that it is almost incomprehensible when it leaves the frontiers." But Faure's champions are not quite exclusively French.

Aaron Copland wrote, even while the composer still lived: "It is time to give Faure his rightful place in contemporary music. France has already done so, and sooner or later other nations, we believe, will do likewise." M. D. Calvocoressi, that most perspicuous of musical ob- servers in England, noted and echoed Mr. Copland's hopes. He wrote (in the Musical Times, December, 1924) after Faure's death: "One vainly wonders why Faure's music, with its perfect Atticism and far- reaching originality should have remained neglected or underrated outside France. It is precisely the kind of music that would be ex- pected to attract and retain the attention of all cultured and sensitive music-lovers. Let us hope that very soon the truth of Mr. Copland's statement, that 'it is time to give Faure his rightful place in contempo- rary music,' will be universally acknowledged and acted upon." Optimism of this sort has been known to find its reward in fulfill- ment — provided the believer has a reserve fund of patience at least equal to his faith. Fifteen years have passed since the words of Copland were written, and as many since Nadia Boulanger wrote her illumi- nating appraisal of the "Requiem," quoted in this publication. The prediction of Faure's apostles for a more universal acceptance of his music may yet some day come true.

'LA TRAGED1E DE SALOMS" for orchestra, after a Poem ry Robert d'Humieres, Op. 50 By Florent Schmitt

Born at Blamont (Meurthe-et-Moselle), France, on September 28, 1870

"The Tragedy of Salome," in its original form for small orchestra, was com- posed in 1907, and first performed as a theatrical production in Paris, November 9 of that year, D. E. Inglebrecht conducting. The suite was performed at the concerts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, November 29, 1913, Dr. Karl Muck conducting, when the part for voices was taken by the Musical Art Club of Boston. When the suite was performed under Dr. Koussevitzky's direction, November 13, 1931, and again under the direction of Dimitri Mitropoulos, January 31, 1936, the singing voices were not used. The score calls for two flutes and piccolo, two oboes and English horn, two

The original "mute drama," based upon the poem of Robert d'Humieres, was designed for Miss Loie Fuller, who danced the part of Salome. At the performance in the Theatre des Arts, Paris, there were the usual characters of the familiar tale (Lou Tellegen was John the Baptist), but to Miss Fuller fell all of the action. "All the other persons in the drama," wrote Edmond Stoullig, 'dwelt im- movable, looking at Mme. Fuller. What could they have done better? There was nothing to do except to admire her, mouths open." Natasha Trouhanova took the Salome when, in the spring of 1912, the piece was put on at the Chatelet with the Lamoureux orchestra, Schmitt conducting. At the Paris Opera, where the "Tragedie de Salome" has long held the stage, Ida Rubinstein and Yvonne Daunt have been con- spicious in the title part. Florent Schmitt dedicated his score to Igor Stravinsky, then the newly found composer of the Ballet Russe who had just followed up his "UOiseau de feu" with "Petrouchka." The score divides into two sections and five episodes, like the prose poem from which it is taken; the first section consists of the "Prelude" and the "Dance of the Uance INCORPORATED FABRICS CARPETS FURNITURE Interior Designers WALLPAPERS BEDDING

[1081] Pearls," wherein Salome is enraptured by the jewels which her mother lifts from the coffer of Herod. The second section begins with the mood-evoking music of "Enchantments of the Sea." A wordless voice rises from the abyss, a woman's voice, offstage, to which others are added, in unison at first. (The composer allows this part to be taken by an oboe solo.) Salome dances to the lurid glare of lightning flashes. She disappears and returns with the head of John the Baptist. Her ecstasy turns to fear as she is haunted by the bloody vision of the murdered evangel. She hurls the severed head from the terrace into the sea, whereat the waters turn to blood. There is a cataclysm of nature, and a shattering bolt strikes the palace. The interpretation by Tamara Karsavina with the Ballet Russe caused something of a sensation at the Drury Lane Theatre, June 30, 1913, when the following description appeared in the Daily Tele- graph:

"With blanched face, startling in its pallor by contrast with her mop of raven hair, she presents a striking appearance as she descends a steep flight of stairs at the back of the stage, the long train of the cloak she wears completely covering the steps after she has set foot to the ground. Divested of this wonderful robe, Salome proceeds to

dance; the dance is at first frantic and insane; then more proud and

It is the expression and avowal of her sensual torment and of her atonement through the very misery of her unassuageable desire, and very remarkable are some of her movements and attitudes; now sinuous, now rigid, at one moment wild in their abandon, at the next suggestive of utter physical collapse."

The following description of the score is quoted from E. B. Hill's "Modern French Music":

"Florent Schmitt has depicted this lurid scenario in music of un- exampled vividness of exotic imagination. His gifts for construction, contrapuntal mastery, and appropriate harmonic luxuriance have fired his inventive powers to produce one of the most graphically dramatic works in the range of French music. 'La Tragedie de Salome' is the French prototype of a new species of ballet in which all the resources of scenic production, orchestral splendor, and detailed and plastic accompaniment of action combine. It stands only second to 'Daphnis et Chloe' as a vitalized product of individual invention. At once the prelude announces a mood of morbid tragedy, leading into the brilliant 'dance of pearls.' The second part continues and enlarges upon the atmosphere of the prelude. A particularly felicitous stroke of dramatic appositeness lies in the episode in which Schmitt uses a folksong of Aica, collected by Salvator Peitavi on the shores of the Dead Sea. Given at first to a single voice behind the scenes, this chant, admirably harmonized, increases gradually in intensity and emotional

In this composition Schmitt's harmonic invention and his dramatic use of the orchestra reach an extraordinary level of mastery. It may be noted that in 'La Tragedie de Salome* as in 'Le Palais haute,' the Psalm and the Quintet, Florent Schmitt relies entirely upon the intrinsic expressive capacity of music in itself without recourse to realistic methods."

[ IO84 ] SYMPHONY IN C MAJOR, NO. 7 By Franz Schubert

Born at Lichtenthal, Vienna, January 31, 1797; died at Vienna, November 19, 1828

Schubert wrote this posthumous symphony in 1828. What was probably its first performance was given at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, March 21, 1839, Felix Men- delssohn conducting. The first performance in America was by the Philharmonic Society in New York, January 11, 1851. The first performance in Boston was on October 6, 1852, with a small orchestra led by Mr. Suck. The most recent perform- ance at the Friday and Saturday concerts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra was on January 18, 1935, when Adrian Boult conducted. The Symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani and strings.

IT was in March, 1828, Schubert's thirty-first year and the last of his life, that he wrote his famous Symphony in C Major. Schubert turned out six in his earliest composing years, from the time that, as a pupil of sixteen at the Konvikt (the school of the Imperial Choir at Vienna) he filled sheets with ready music for the small school orchestra in which he was a violinist. In 1816 he wrote his Fourth ("Tragic") Symphony and his Fifth (without trumpets and drums); in 1818, reaching his twenty-first year he produced his Sixth in C major, still

[ 1085 ] for a small orchestra. These three works, containing many of the beautiful pages characteristic of the young Schubert, were yet modest in design, having been planned for the immediate uses of the "Ama- teur Society," the outgrowth of a friendly quartet which had long met as such in his father's house. Having come of age, the young man turned his musical thoughts away from symphonies, which he attempted only twice in the re- mainder of his life.* In 1822 he wrote another, or at least two move- ments of another. The " Unfinished' ' Symphony may be said to be the first which Schubert wrote entirely to the prompting of his free musi- cal inclinations, and not to the constricted proportions of a group of half-skilled friends who could not muster a trumpeter or a set of kettledrums. Anselm Huttenbrenner, to whom he dispatched the score in hopes of a performance by the Styrian Society at Gratz, casually laid the unplayed symphony in a drawer and forgot it. The indifference did not visibly disturb the composer, to whom the act of creation seems always to have been infinitely more important than the possibilities (which were usually meagre enough) of performance or recognition. Once more, six years later, Schubert spread his sym- phonic wings, this time with no other dictator than his soaring fancy. Difficulty, length, orchestration, these were not ordered by the compass of any orchestra he knew. Schubert in his more rarified lyrical flights composed far above the heads of the small circle of singers or players with whom his music-making life was identified. Consciously or un- consciously, he wrote at those times for the larger world he never en- countered in his round of humble dealings, and for coming genera- tions unnumbered. In this wise did the symphony in C major come into being — the symphony which showed a new and significant im- pulse in a genius long since of immortal stature; the symphony which it became the privilege and triumph of Schumann to resurrect years later, and make known to the world. The direct words of Schubert on his more important works are here, as elsewhere, scanty and unreliable. It is known that he presented the score to the Musikverein in Vienna. The parts were actually written out and distributed, and the symphony tried in rehearsal. "The Sym- phony was soon laid aside," so reports Schubert's early biographer, Kreissle von Hellborn, who in 1861 first published his findings of Schubert's life after consultation with those who knew and remem- bered him. The score was found to be "too long and difficult, and

Schubert advised them to accept and perform in its stead his Sixth

* He did make, in 1821, a complete outline of a symphony in E minor — E major with the notation and scoring only partly filled in. The symphony was performed in Vienna in the season 1934-1935 by Felix Weingartner. A "Gastein" Symphony, vaguely referred to in the correspondence, remains a legend, for no trace of it has been found. {Continued on page 1104)

[1103] Symphony (also in C)." The tale has been doubted, but it is easy to believe — not that the composer had any qualms about the essential practicability of his score, but that he hastily withdrew his Pegasus before its wings could be entirely clipped by the pedestrian Gesell- schaft. A symphony in C major was performed by the Society a month after Schubert's death (December 14, 1828) and repeated in March,

1829. Whether it was the great "C major" or the Sixth Symphony in the same key is a point of dispute among the authorities. In any case, Schubert's last Symphony was unperformed in his lifetime and lay in oblivion until ten years afterwards, when Schumann visited Vienna and went through a pile of manuscripts then in possession of Franz's brother, Ferdinand Schubert, fastened upon the C major symphony, and sent a copied score with all dispatch to his friend Mendelssohn, who was then the conductor at Leipzig. Mendelssohn was enthusiastic — as enthusiastic perhaps as his nature permitted, although beside the winged words of Schumann on the same subject his written opinion as expressed to Moscheles sounds cool and measured: "We recently played a remarkable and interesting symphony by Franz Schubert. It is, with- out doubt, one of the best works which we have lately heard. Bright, fascinating and original throughout, it stands quite at the head of his instrumental works." The performance at the Gewandhaus (March

The players found this straightforward music unreasonably difficult and laughed at the oft-repeated triplets in the finale; Mendelssohn forthwith withdrew the score, which was not heard in England until many years later

(April 5, 1856); even then, it was finally achieved by performances in two installments of two movements at each concert. It is said that a similar derision from the players in Paris also met Habeneck's ef- forts to introduce the symphony there. It may seem puzzling that these famous triplets, to a later posterity the very stuff of swift impulsion, a lifting rhythm of flight, could have been found ridiculous. But a dull and lumbering performance might well turn the constantly re- iterated figuration into something quite meaningless. The joke lay,

*Yet a reviewer of the first performance wrote that the work lasted "five minutes less than an hour," Eugene Goossens once wrote: "It's heavenly, but rather excessive length has often brought up the vexed question of 'cuts,' and even the purists admit that the work does not suffer to a noticeable degree by judicious pruning of the slow movement and finale. I use the word, 'judicious,' for there are only two 'cuts' possible which do not in any way disturb the shape or development— of the movement in question. Preferably, however, let us have it unmutilated " (Chesterian, November, 1928).

[1107] not in the measures themselves, but in the awkward scrapings of the players who were deriding them. The work, thus put aside in Eng- land for some fifteen years, meanwhile found its first American per- formance by the Philharmonic Society in New York (January 11, 1851), Mr. Eisfeld conducting. It had been published a year previous.

The very fact that Schubert wrote this masterwork in his last year, an eloquent sign, and not the only one, of a new subtilization and un- folding of the still youthful genius, has been the subject of much con- jecture, wise, futile, or foolish, on the part of his biographers. Some have foretold in the C major the heralding of what might have be- come a mighty symphonist, another Beethoven (which composer Schu- bert held in the deepest veneration). This despite the fact that the mild and unassuming little Viennese music-maker showed no inclina- tion, then or at any time, to become a philosopher and spiritual titan, an insurrectionary artist who might face the world at large with a glance of arrogant independence. More than one writer has discerned premonitions of death in the final symphony, and Sir George Grove, disclaiming superstition, could not help remarking darkly that Schu-

[ nog ] bert signed a friendly letter of that year: "Yours till death." Any words from Schubert about his music, written or spoken, are as always but scantily available. One remark Schubert is said to have made,* on handing the manuscript of this symphony to the Musikverein — "that he hoped now to hear nothing more about Lieder, and that hence- forth he should confine himself to Opera and Symphony." He did write more songs; in fact probably his last application of pen to paper was to correct the proofs of his "Winterreisse" series, wherein

a new current of melancholy, almost Tchaikovskian, is discernible. It is none the less reasonable to assume that the symphony — that resplend- ent sample of a newly widened instinct of orchestral beauty — would have had its successors. The examination of Schubert's every-day life in those months re- veals the usual round of daily music-making and friendly intercourse. The motive for the score must have been purely the delight in its writing, for no one was at hand to play it, no publisher would have given the merest glance of interest at such an unmarketable article. Notwithstanding, Schubert was as usual hounded by the penury which

Kreissle repeats this as a "well-authenticated confession.

Practically every LIBERTY kind of Insurance SQUARE except Life including Fidelity BOSTON and Surety Bonds

[mo] kept him in dingy lodgings and short rations most of the time.* He should, if material needs were to control his muse, have been writing easy piano duets, songs in the obvious mold and free from the "eccen- tricities" (i.e. — felicitous touches of divine fancy) which his publish- ers periodically objected to. Instead, he wrote what pleased him — songs which puzzled his intimate friends, chamber music such as the splendid but then unsalable Quintet, the Mass in E-flat, the three final piano sonatas and the Fantasia in F minor, the Winterreise and Schwanen- gesang. This wealth of music, showing many new vistas, left him poor and contented.

Robert Schumann more than once expended his eloquence in a good cause, and spoke with clarion tongue when his world was slug-

* Schubert did, for once in his life, give a public concert of his own music. It was on March 26, 1828, probably after the completion of the symphony. He submitted to the in- sistence of his friends, and was rewarded with a large attendance, and receipts of about 600 gulden ($160) — probably more money than he had ever held in his hand at a single time. We find him shortly afterwards inviting a friend to a Paganini concert, on the ground that "money is as thick as blackberries." But tempting invitations from Gratz and the mountains of his beloved upper Austria he had to refuse from May until summer from want of funds for the coach fare, and in September he gave up the idea altogether, and remained sorroAvfully in the city. "It is all over with my journey to Gratz this year for my pecuniary, like the weather prospects are downright gloomy and unfavorable."

[ mi 1 gish to perceive the true genius of Schubert, or Chopin, or Brahms. Quoting in part from what he wrote of Schubert's final symphony, after the Leipzig performance:

"Schubert's easy and brilliant mastery over the resources of an orchestra would be unintelligible, if one did not know that six other symphonies had preceded his last effort, and that he wrote it in the full maturity of his powers. Those gifts must be pronounced extraor- dinary in a man who, having during his lifetime heard so little of his own instrumental works, succeeded in so masterly a handling of the general body of instruments which converse with one another like human voices and chorus. Except in numbers of Beethoven's works, I have nowhere found such an extraordinary and striking resemblance to the organs of the human voice as in Schubert's; it is the very reverse of Meyerbeer's method of treating the human voice. The complete independence in which the symphony stands in respect of Beethoven's is another sign of its masculine originality. Let any one observe how wisely and correctly Schubert's genius develops itself. In the conscious- ness of more modest powers, he avoids all imitation of the grotesque forms, the bold contrast, we meet with in Beethoven's later works, and gives us a work in the loveliest form, full of the novel intricacies of modern treatment, but never deviating too far from the centre point and always returning to it. This must be patent to anyone who often considers this particular symphony.

"At the outset, the brilliancy, the novelty, of the instrumentation, the width and breadth of form, the exquisite interchange of vivid emo- tion, the entire new world in which we are landed, — all this is as bewil- dering as any unusual thing we look upon for the first time in our lives; but there ever remains that delicious feeling which we get from some lovely legend or fairy story; we feel, above all, that the composer was master of his subject, and that the mysteries of his music will be made clear to us in time. We derive this impression of certainty from the showy romantic character of the introduction, although all is still wrapped in the deepest mystery. The transition from this to the

Allegro is entirely new; the tempo does not seem to vary; we are landed, we know not how. The analysis of the movements piece by

piece is neither a grateful task to ourselves nor others; one would necessarily have to transcribe the entire symphony to give the faintest

notion of its intense originality throughout. I cannot, however, pass

. from the second movement which addresses us in such exquisitely mov- ing strains, without a single word. There is one passage in it, that

where the horn is calling as though from a distance, that seems to come to us from another sphere. Here everything else listens, as though some heavenly messenger were hovering around the orchestra."
