There will be an intermission of ten minutes before the concerto. 6 The vast majority of so-called Player-Pianos are merely COMBINATIONS of a Player and a Piano. The Player, originally devised as a SEPARATE instrument, to play the piano from the keyboard, is in these instances ADAPTED to the INTERIOR of the piano. This is obviously the vjrong principle, since the mechanism originated and patented for one purpose cannot be PERFECTLYadapted to another. The AUTOTONE The Piano ALL Can Play {either by hand or by perforated music-rolls) Was conceived, not as two separate instruments, but as a complete whole, the entire player mechanism being newly devised expressly for the Autotone. This results in the greatest possible harmony and responsiveness between the piano and the included ability to play it. Only by these means can such perfect effects be secured. You should satisfy yourself on these points by calling at our warerooms or at the warerooms of our representative. THE ACCENTOR which accomplishes the "human touch"— which gives the instant ability to properly accent-is found only in the AUTOTONE All makes of pianos taken in exchange Convenient terms of payment for the balance can be arranged ART CATALOG SENT ON REQUEST ESTAB.

FREDERICK MUSIC CO., 1328 F Street s "WaUvEnstein/' Trilogy (after the Dramatic Poem of Schiller). Vincent d'Indy (Born at Paris, March 27, 1852*; now living in Paris.) The first work of Vincent d'Indy that was performed in Paris was his "Ouverture des Piccolomini," which was produced at a Pasdeloup concert, January 25, 1874. This overture, the second part of the "Wallenstein" trilogy, showed, it is said, the marked influence of Schumann. It was afterwards changed materially, thoroughly rewritten. The "Wallenstein" trilogy was begun in 1873-74. It was com- pleted about 1 88 1. The third movement, "La Mort de Wallenstein," was first per- formed at a Pasdeloup concert (' 'Concert Populaire") in Paris, March 14, 1880. The first movement, "Le Camp de Wallenstein/' was first performed at a concert of the National Society, Paris, April 12, 1880. It was per- formed March 30, 1884, at a Concert Populaire, Pasdeloup conductor, in Paris. There were performances of this or that movement at the concerts of the National Society in Paris, at Angers, and at Antwerp, but the first performance of the trilogy, complete, was at a Lamoureux concert in Paris, March 4, 1888. The first performance of the trilogy in the United States was at one of Anton Seidl's concerts in Steinway Hall, New York, December 1, 1888. Among the other performances in the United States are the follow- ing: Chicago: Chicago Orchestra, Theodore Thomas conductor, "Wallenstein's Camp," October 27, 1900; the complete trilogy, April 6, 1901 ; Theodore Thomas's Orchestra, as it is now called, Frederick A. Stock conductor, " Wallenstein' s Camp," April 6, 1907. Cincinnati: Cincinnati Orchestra, Mr. Van Der Stucken conductor, " Wallenstein' Camp," December 19, 1903, January 27, 1906. * * * This year is given by the composer. The catalogue of the Paris Conservatory gives 1851, and 1851 is given by Adolphe Jullien, who says he verified the date by the register of d'Indy's birth. NEW SONGS for CONCERT and RECITAL DSE If We have this season a very large number of interesting compositions by such leading Composers as A. WOODFORDE-FINDEN, LIZA LEHMANN, LAURA LEMON, GRAHAM PEEL, ROGER QUILTER, HAMILTON HARTY, E. ELGAR, E. GERMAN, NOEL JOHNSON, R. BARTHELEMY, F. P. TOSTI, LANDON RONALD, G. H. CLUTSAM, STEPHEN ADAMS, etc. If Ask your dealer for a selection of these, or write direct to the Publishers, BOOSEY & COMPANY, 9 East Seventeenth St, New York City 7 — — " — — It seems that, when "The Death of Wallenstein" was first performed in Paris, there was an argument, an explanatory programme, for a contemporary reviewer then discussed the possibility of translating into music "Reves h£roiques de gloire et de liberie," "Trahison," "Mort," " while he admitted d'lndy's success in the sections, "Souvenir de Thecla and "Triomphe." The score of the trilogy is without a programme of any sort whatever. * * * Hugues Imbert's sketch of the trilogy was Englished by Stanley V. Makower as follows: "The distinguishing feature of the symphonic music of Vincent d'Indy is that it paints with forcible truth, marvellous vividness, and astonishing vigor the various episodes in the drama of Schiller. For instance, in the first part, 'Le Camp,'* after the slow valse, comes 'the savage dance with its determined rhythm, the sermon of the Capuchin James Churchill's translation into English of " Wallenstein's Camp" is thus prefaced: "The Camp of Wallenstein is an introduction to the celebrated tragedy of that name, and, by its vivid portraiture of the state of the General's army, gives the best clue to the spell of his gigantic power. The blind belief entertained in the unfailing success of his arms, and in the supernatural agencies by which that success is secured to him; the unrestrained indulgence of every passion, and utter disregard of all law, save that of the camp; a hard oppression of the peasantry and plunder of the country; have all swollen the soldiery with an idea of interminable sway. "Of Schiller's opinion concerning the Camp, as a necessary introduction to the tragedy, the following passage, taken from the Prologue to the first representation, will give a just idea and may also serve as a motto to the work: "'Not He it is, who on the tragic scene Will now appear—but in the fearless bands Whom his command alone could sway, and whom His spirit fired, you may his shadow see, Until the bashful Muse shall dare to bring Himself before you in a living form; For power it was that bore his heart astray His Camp, alone, elucidates his crime.'
