Orchestra to Present First
Entire Symphony Sunday
On Sunday, lor ine nrst wmc
In the memory of conductor Ema
nnrl Wishnow. the University or
J I 4 1! I
chestra will play an entire sym
phony at a public concert.
The program, which will be
presented at 4 p. m. in the Union
ballroom, will consist of Brahm's
Symphony No. 1 and von Weber's
overture to "Der Freischutz".
IN PLAYING Brahms' sym
phony, Wishnow frankly admits
that he has undertaken a major
responsibility. The 40-minutc
masterwork is a demanding one
for the orchestra. He feels, how
ever, that the audience will enjoy
this change from usual concert
programs.
A strong and .lovely theme
heard above a steady tympani
beat opens the first movement of
the symphony. The music grows
more intense and agitated as it
continues.
IN CONTRAST the two middle
movements seem lighter and
shorter. The Becond is delicately
arranged with major portions of
the melody given to the oboe and
violins. The third is a graceful
allegretto. Together the two pro
m urnnna-ennmpaign, in. xnei
National Sweetheart will have her(
expenses to and from the conven
tion paid, as well as expenses at
the convention. '

vide indispensable moments of re
lief in the dramatic action of the
whole.
As in the first, there are stormy
passages at the beginning of the
finale. A horn solo at last seems
almost like a message of salvation.
This is followed shortly by a
broad-flowing, hymnlike allegro,
an answering announcement of
triumph. It is one of the most sat
isfying, most heartening and most
fundamentally joyfull of all melo
dies. The music builds steadily to
a glorious conclusion.
BRAHMS' long delay until he
was 44 years old in finishing his
first symphony, was partly due to
a fear of Beethoven. The composer
himself said that it was "no
laughing matter" to write a sym
phony after Beethoven had writ
ten nine.
Brahms' First Symphony, which
a contemporary -lluded to as
Beethoven's Tenth, does have a
close affinity to the older master's
work. This is not limited to a
slight resemblance, often overem
phasized of the theme of Brahms'
finale to the "Ode to Joy" in
Beethoven's Ninth.
