Through the medium of Baldwin tone, this most lyric of contemporary pianists discovers complete revealment of his musical dreams. For a generation de Pachmann has played the Baldwin; on the concert stage and in his home. That love- liness and purity of tone which appeals to de Pach- mann and to every exacting musician is found in all Baldwins, alike in the Concert Grand, in the smaller Grands, in the Uprights. The history of the Baldwin is the history of an ideal. A. M. Hume Music Co. 194-196 Boylston Street Boston INFANTRY HALL PROVIDENCE FORTY-FIFTH SEASON, 1925-1926 INC.

Carl Maria von Weber (Born at Eutin, Oldenburg, December 18, 1786; died at London, June 5, 1826) "Der Freischtitz," a romantic opera in three acts, book by Friedrich Kind, music by Weber, was first performed at Berlin, June 18, 1821. The cast was as follows : Agathe, Caroline Seidler Aennchen, Johanna Eunike; Brautjungfer, Henriette Reinwald; Max, Heinrich Stumer; Ottaker, Gottlieb Rebenstein; Kuno, Carl Wauer; Caspar, Heinrich Blume; Eremit, Georg Gern; Kilian, August Wiedemann; Samiel, Hillebrand. It was the first opera performed in the new theatre, Schauspielhaus, erected by Schinkel in 1819-21, to replace the original building, which was burned down in 1817. Weber wrote in his diary that the opera was received with "incredible enthusiasm ; Overture and Folk-song were encored ; four- teen out of seventeen music-pieces were stormily applauded. Every- thing went exceedingly well, and was sung con amove. I was called before the curtain and took Mad. [sic] Seidler and Mile, [sic] Eunike with me, as I could not get hold of the others. Verses and wreaths came flying. 'Soli Deo Gloria/ " Some of these verses were mali- cious, and reflected on Spontini, much to Weber's distress. Two hundred and nineteen of the three hundred and forty-two measures of this overture are in the opera itself, and yet there is no thought of patchwork. As Arthur Mees has well said: "Weber's overture, far from being a kaleidoscopic series of tunes, is absolutely It is nothing uncommon for us to 1 IT 1 receive pupils who have taken from two to three years' lessons and cannot even read the notes. c Uwenty- It is something very common to hear parents of such pupils say afterward, "I "Uhird wish we had come here before.

Steinert Building i 1 Providence: PLACE THE PLACE — it's PLACE'S PLACE: Pawtucket symmetrical in form, in that it comprises an exposition of the melodies utilized, a section in which they are worked out, and a climacteric coda." The arrangements of the overture are numberless, and some are curious. Moscheles made a version for three pianos (twelve hands), which was played in Paris, April 13, 1825, by Mendelssohn, Herz, Pixis, C. Pleyel, Schunke, and the arranger. There are arrange- ments for one, two, three, and four flutes; for flute, violin, guitar; for flute and guitar; for violin and guitar; for two clarinets; for cornet-a-pistons. Much has been written about the overture, from the rhapsody of Douglas Jerrold to Wagner's critical remarks concerning the true reading. The admiration of Berlioz is well known. "The overture is crowned Queen to-day : no one dreams of disputing it. It is cited as the model of the kind. The theme of the slow movement and that of the Allegro are sung everywhere. There is one theme that I must mention, because it is less noticed, and also because it moves 155 ANGELL STREET IS AVAILABLE FOR PARTIES DANCES LECTURES MUSICALES CLUB MEETINGS Convenient Location Unlimited Parking Phone Angell 3781 Office Hours 11-12.30 Bachrach Frames are designed especially to harmonize with the tone and finish of our photographs.
