JUDD, Assistant Manager 1 <UHE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS QOMETIMES people who want a Steinway think it economic cal to buy a cheaper piano in the beginning and wait for a Steinway. Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt at his Steinway and convenience a Steinway can be bought. This is evidenced by the great number of people who come to exchange some other piano in partial payment for a Steinway, and say: "If I had only known about your terms I would have had a Steinway long ago!" You may purchase a new Steinway piano with a cash deposit of 10%, and the bal- ance will be extended over a period of two years. 'Prices: $875 and up. Convenient terms. Used pianos taken in exchange.

H F. Irvin Davis, 82 Pearl St. Ward WJacobs & Co., 750 Main St. Elliott & Pearl, 54 Church St. 17 Temple Place, Boston Symphony in F minor, No. 4, Or. 36 Peter Tchaikovsky (Born at Votkinsk, in the government of Viatka, Russia, May 7, 1840; died at Petrograd, November 0>, 1893.) Tchaikovsky composed this symphony during the Avinter of 1877-78. He had lost interest in an opera, "Othello," for which a libretto at his own wish had been drafted by Stassoff. The first draft was finished in May, 1877. He began the instrumentation on August 23 of that year, and finished the first movement Septem- ber 24. He began work again towards the end of November. The Andantino was finished on December 27, the Scherzo on January 1, 1878, and the Finale on January 7, 1878. The first performance was at a symphony concert of the Kussian Musical Society, Moscow, February 22, 1878. Nicholas Rubinstein conducted. The first performance in the United States was at a concert of the Symphony Society at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, February 1, 1890, Walter Damrosch conductor. The dedication of this symphony is as follows : "A mon meilleur ami" ("To my best friend"), and thereby hangs a tale. This best friend was the widow Nadejda Filaretovna von Meek. Her maiden name was Frolowsky. She was born in the village Snamensk, government of Smolensk, February 10, 1831. She mar- ried in 1848 an engineer, and for some years she knew poverty. Her courage did not give way; she was a helpmeet for her husband, who finally became famous and successful. In 1876 her husband died. She was left with eleven children and a fortune of "many Steinway has been the chosen piano of the masters from Liszt and Rubinstein to Paderewski, Rachman- inoff and Hofmann. It is the instrument by which all other pianos are measured. 241 ASYLUM STREET Sole Steinway Agents ; millions of rubles." Dwelling at Moscow, fond of music, she ad- mired beyond measure certain works by Tchaikovsky. Inquiring curiously concerning his character as a man and about his worldly circumstances, she became acquainted with Kotek, a pupil of Tchai- kovsky in composition. Through him she gave Tchaikovsky com- missions for transcriptions for violin and pianoforte of some of his works. There was an interchange of letters. In the early sum- mer of 1877 she learned that he was in debt. She sent him three thousand rubles ; in the fall of the same year she determined to give him yearly the sum of six thousand rubles, that he might com- pose free from pecuniary care and vexation; but she insisted that they should never meet. They never spoke together; their letters were frequent and intimate. Tchaikovsky poured out his soul to this woman, described by his brother Modest as proud and ener- getic, with deep-rooted principles, with the independence of a man a woman that held in disdain all that was petty and conventional; was pure in thought and action; a woman that was compassionate, not sentimental.* The composer wrote to her May 13, 1877, that he purposed to dedicate this symphony to her. "I believe that you will find in it echoes of your deepest thoughts and feelings. At this moment any other work would be odious to me ; I speak only of work that pre- supposes the existence of a determined mood. Added to this I am in a very nervous, worried, and irritable state, highly unfavorable to composition and even my symphony suffers in consequence." In August, 1877, writing to her, he referred to the symphony as "yours." "I hope it will please you, for that is the main thing." He wrote August from Kamenka: "The first movement has cost me much trouble in scoring it. It is very complicated and long ; but it seems to me it is also the most important. The other movements are simple, and it will be fun to score them.

Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL, for $175 plus $5 shipping and handling. The Centennial Collection-Chicago Symphony Orchestra RCA-Victor Gold Seal, GD 600206 (3 CDs; monaural, stereo, ADD and DDD). (total time 3:36:3l2). A "musical trivia" question: "Which American symphony orchestra was the first to record under its own name and conductor?" You will find the answer at the beginning of the 12-CD collection, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra: The First 100 Years, issued by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO). The date was May 1, 1916, and the conductor was Frederick Stock. 3 This is part of the orchestra's celebration of the hundredth anniversary of its founding by Theodore Thomas in 1891. Thomas is represented here, not as a conductor (he died in 1904) but as the arranger of Wagner's Triiume. But all of the other conductors and music directors are represented, as well as many guests. With one exception, the 3-CD set, The Centennial Collection: Chicago Symphony Orchestra, from RCA-Victor is drawn from the recordings that the Chicago Symphony made for that company. All were released previously, in various formats-mono and stereo, 78 rpm, 45 rpm, LPs, tapes, and CDs-as the technologies evolved. Although the present digital processing varies according to source, the sound is generally clear; the Reiner material is comparable to RCA-Victor's on-going reissues on CD of the legendary recordings produced by Richard Mohr.
