The or chestration is more difficult the farther I go. I have sat the whole dav over two pages, that wnicn i wished to come . consianuy io , . .

The symphony failed; for at rehearsals the composer had been disappoint ed that it had made no impression on the orchestra, and only when he knew his players could give him finesse of interpretation did he conduct well. Critics of the piece were decidedly cool. Five days later Tschaikowsky died. No one knows the programme in Tschaikowsky's mind when he wrote hia symphony. Perhaps if he had revealed it to the public, the work would not be regarded as a legacy from one filled with a pre sentiment of his own approaching death. It would seem more rea sonable to Interpret the over whelming energy of the third movement and. the abysmal sor roy of the Finale in the light of a national or historical significance rather than to narrow them to the expression of an individual experi ( Continued on Page 4.)
