A. ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER — jj "After the Symphony Concert a prolonging of musical pleasure by home-firelight awaits the owner of a "Baldwin." The strongest impressions of the concert season are linked with Baldwintone, exquisitely exploited by pianists eminent in their art. Schnitzer, Pugno, Scharwenka, Bachaus De Pachmann! More than chance attracts the finely-gifted amateur to this keyboard. Among people who love good music, who have a culti- vated knowledge of it, and who seek the best medium for producing it, the Baldwin is chief. In such an atmosphere it is as happily "at home" as are the Preludes of Chopin, the Liszt Rhapsodies upon a virtuoso's programme. THE BOOK OF THE BALDWIN free upon request. Sole Representative MRS.

Very truly yours, (Signed) MAGGIE TEYTE. GOFF & DARLING 276 WESTMINSTER STREET Sole Agents Symphony in C major, "Jupiter" (K. 551). Wolfgang Amadkus Mozart (Born at Salzburg, January 27, 1756; died at Vienna, December 5, 1791.) Mozart wrote his three greatest symphonies in 1788. The one in K-flat is dated June 26, the one in G minor July 25, the one in C major with the fugue-finale, August 10. The "Jupiter" symphony is scored for one flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, kettledrums, and strings. I. Allegro vivace, C major, 4-4. The movement opens immediately with the announcement of the first theme. The theme is in two sec- tions. Imposing triplets of the full orchestra alternating with a gentler melodious passage for strings; the section of a martial nature with strongly marked rhythm for trumpets and drums. There is extensive development of the figures with some new counter ones. The strings have the second theme: "a yearning phrase," wrote Mr. Apthorp, " ascending by two successive semitones, followed by a brighter, almost a rollicking one—is it Jove laughing at lovers' perjuries?—the bassoon and flute soon adding richness to the coloring by doubling the melody of the first violins in the lower and upper octaves." This theme is in G major. There is a cheerful conclusion-theme, and the first part of the movement ends with a return of the martial rhythm of the second section of the first theme. The free fantasia is long and elaborate. The third part of is almost like unto the first with changes of key. II. Andante cantabile, F major, 3-4. The first part presents the development in turn of three themes which are so joined that there is apparent melodic continuity. The second part consists of some more elaborate development of the same material. III. Menuetto: Allegro, C major, 3-4. The movement is in the PROVIDENCE MUSICAL ASSOCIATION Memorial Hall, Friday, February 14, 8.15 P.M.

ADMISSION, $1.00 Sale opens February 17, at Seddon's 7 ' traditional minuet form. The chief theme begins with the inversion of the first figure, the "chromatic sigh," of the second theme in the first movement, and this "sigh" is hinted at in the Trio which is in C major. Finale: Allegro molto, C major, 4-4. The movement is often de- scribed as a "fugue on four subjects." Mr. Apthorp wrote concerning it as follows: "Like the first movement, it is really in 2-2 (alia breve) time; but Mozart, as was not unusual with him, has omitted the hair ' stroke through the C ' of common time—a detail in the use of which he was habitually extremely lax. As far as the ' fugue on four subjects goes, the movement can hardly strictly be called a fugue ; it is a brilliant rondo on four themes, and the treatment of this thematic material is for the most part of a fugal character—the responses are generally ' real instead of 'tonal.' Ever and anon come brilliant passages for the full orchestra which savor more of the characteristically Mozartish 'tutti cadences' to the separate divisions of a rondo, or other symphonic movement, than they do of the ordinary 'diversions' in a fugue. Still fuga writing of a sufficiently strict character certainly predominates in the movement. For eviscerating elaborateness of working-out—all the devices of tnotus rectus and motus contrarius being resorted to; at one time even the old canon cancrizans—this movement may be said almost to seek its fellow. It is at once one of the most learned and one of the most spontaneously brilliant things Mozart ever wrote." M EH LIN PIANOS always respond to the most exacting demands made upon them. For this reason they are preferred by musicians, in fact Mehlin Pianos are often called "The Musicians' Ideal" The Mehlin " Inverted Grand" is the only " Upright" built on the prin- ciple of the Grand. It has the Grand Scale, Sounding Board and Tone. For Art Catalog and full particulars apply to " V< THE SHEPARD COMPANY 3rd FLOOR Providence, R. I. The Music School 26 CABOT ST. CORNER MEETING ST.
