Intr developments In the tru
ncal cltuatldn In Omaha In
the last few d-. One of the
nleeit entertainments ever ar
ranged for outof-town vloltora
tvaa Riven laat week by Hayden Hr.M .
who cniraKtd Mla Mary Uunehhoff and
Max Landow to Rive a recital last
Wednesday noon for the Iloyat Ne-.Rh-bora
convention. The fact that crowds j
thronged the fourth floor, where the re j
tital vas Riven, la ample proof that this
kind of an entertainment Is appreclato-J,
A lecture recital and opera musical, ol
the entire score of "Thais," the operi
to be given In Omaha by the Chlio
Opera company with Mary Oarden,
Muberdeau and others In the cast, has
been arranged by the nurgcss-N&h com
pany for two days of March M and ."(.
on the third floor of their store. The
opera will bo alven In English by Arii
Shaw Faulkner and Marx K. Obendotfer
as accompanist. The affair la free to the
public A special room on the third f.nor
of the sloro will be arranged to accjm
tnodato from 300 to 00 people at. each re
cital, which will be jjlvcn at 3:30 In the
afternoon.
The Musical Courier commtnta thu
editorially upon Omaha's new pnmleal or
ganization, tho Clef club:
Omaha has oncahixed a Clef club, con
sisting of musicians, the purpose of the
organlxatton being "to promote social fel
lowship among the musical fraternity and
tho advancement of musfc'it culture and
the arts." The idea originated with
Thomas J. Kelly. Jean P. Duffleld and
August M. Borgium, Among the other
Omaha musicians Interested are: 8lg
mund Landsberg, J. II. Slmms, Henry
Cox, Mm. Kelly, Mrs. Borgium, Mary
Munchhoff, Henrietta Kees, Martin Bush,
etc,
A club of that kind should be ,of In
estimable benefit to the Omaha musical
profession and should help also to stimu
late the general tonal culture of the city.
Tho Clef members represent unusual
talent. They .should give several fin
concerts, raise a fund In that way and
make It the nucleus of a guarantee for a
symphony orchestra. A Woman's club
started the Kansas City Symphony or
chestra. Surely the mixed membersulp
of Omaha's Clef club should be able to
do as much for their olty, which alreidy
has .as excellent a. choral organisation
(under Thomas J. Kelly's dlroctlon) as
is to bo found anywhere In this country
Mils Bella Robinson entertained the
club at her Home Wednesday evening.
In spite of the weather a goodly, num
ber 6t the members were present, A
business meeting was held, which was
followed by a social hour, during which
many, musical Jokes were passed. tAttol
refreshments were served.

Eric Petamarter, In speaking ot the
popularity of the folk song recitals
which have been o popular, this season,

a scientific Interest to them, as soma
would have, us believe, but because these
songs are odd, because they are Wot
complex, and because they have rythm
and melody, two most unfashionable

Last week we reprlrtd an article by
John ( Preund, In which, while milntn)n
Ine Jhe advantages to be had on this tide
of the water, he spoke of the different
countries In Europe and gave a brief dis
cussion ot the general conditions .In each.
This has brought the following reply from
Grace Louisa Ware ot Nebraska City In
defense of the capitals of Europe, Berlin
especially; ,
I cannot let the article copied from
Musical America which appeared In the
musical column!) ot The Sunday Bee, pass
by without notice..
Tho Impression that Mr. Freund gives
of Musio in the foreign capitals Is ab
surdly erroneous!
Hiving- Just returned from a year and a
half- spent In trawl and study In Berlin
and Venice, I feel that I can speak with
apmo authority about muslo conditions
there,
I confess that I do not care for opera
In Perls, but that Is largely the fault of
the restless French audlsnce, which Is
offensive to one accustomed to the rev
rrcnt attention in the opera house of
Uarlln. Munich and Vienna. I am sorry
to hear that the charming Champs
Klyeees opera house is closed, The Rus
sian ballet was dajiclnc Debussy's muslo
there to sold-out houses In June. French
orchestras have lonr been famous for
their technical perfection and finish, it
was at a concert by the orchestra of
the Conservatoire do Muslque that Wag
f,r."l heard the great Beethoven
"Choral Svmphonle" played In such a
masterly way that It wait a revelation n
J""!, TJ1 Lamoreux orchestra, eonduetod
by M. Camilla Chevlllard, la also not to be
spoken of lightly.
W think of I'arls and Rome as being
especially art centers, but Berlin Is un
doubtediy the musical capital of the
world, and why not Rive honor where
honor Js due.? And this Is true, not alono
because of the dateline array of concerts
and operas given there, or because It la
Urn home of so many composers and
musicians or because It has the orches
tra, choruses and sololsta In such rich
abundance, but because Its standard is
so hiah. There charlatanism. Is not tol
erated for one moment. Such a standard
we cannot aaplr to. until our public Is
educated In music. In the crowded con
cert halls In nerlln, the enthusiasm of
the audience is baaed upon knowledge.
Thay know the Beethoven "Symphonies."
the concertos, the overtures, program
nu'sic. the Moiart and Wagner opera
scores by heart We have, gome m
orchestras, and they are dolnc splendid
work but ure they educattnr the oeonte?
Po they rlay the Beethoven "Symphonies"
repeatedly or are they paying too much
attention to new things, before they
Ijiiow the old?

I hsppened to be In New York the
lust ot January on my rrturn from
abroad. Carl Hroh was playlnc there,
and I wm mortitied to nee a rrlti'Mam
In one ot tho prominent papers wnicn
regretted that "ho played the worn-out
iseetnovnn concerto, wiwi us rump mm
movement, which Is built with mono
tonous repetition upon four notes."
It seemo Incredible that any one could
say sueh a thing nhout that beautiful D
mnj. concerto. Tne only violin con
certo that Ueethovcn wroto, and wnlch
is Included in tho repertoire of every
concert violinist. 1 heard It in con
cert lx times while I was away,
and hope to hear It many more. A
friend of mine In Berlin, a brilliant vio
linist herself, said that she hnd heard all
of the vIoilnlntK play It several times
nnd the ureal Ysaye play It live times.
A contrast to tho spirit of the New
York paper! . . .
But tne trouble with us lies In the
lack of two very essential things, rever
ence and knowledge: , .

Tht. New York Evening Post comments
upon the fact that people are told that
they should love the operas and not tho
singers. The argument brought forth In
answer Is that we do not hear the operas,
or any recital music, nor would the com
posers recognize them unless they are
sung by the great artists. When tho
great artist Is performing wo do not think
ot him as a great artist, but rather of tho
beauties of the muslo In which wo havo
our souls. His personality disappears as
completely as that ot the great actor
disappears when 'ho Impersonates a Shake
spearean character. Tho sensitiveness ot
the great musiclana Is also commented
upbri ana' the- following amusing etory
