It KES, MR usual holiday lull In musi cal affairs this year reminds one very much of the calm which precedes the storm, for It will soon be followed by a T period of as great musical ac- tlvlty as our city has ever known. Re cltals, concerts of all sorts and opera seem to be clliowlng each other for places upon the calendar. It speaks well for Omaha that this is so. It Is good to be able to hear the greatest artists of th world and to appreciate the supreme heights to which they have attained. It Is good to hear our local musical people and to know the ability of those who live among us and the opportunities they offer nesr at hand. HJs a good thing to be a good listener, and to attend concerts as often as possible. One becomes ac quainted with a greater variety of musi cal expression, gains a broader outlook of the art, and gradually appreciates more and more the fine points of it all. All of these things are of great value in the community and do their part In the cultural life of our city. But In our enjoyment of the great things that come our way let us not lose sight of that greatest musical Influence of all, which Is found in earnest Individual effort. Let us not be content to be mere listeners, but let us also be Interested devotees of some form of the art. There Is a great enjoyment to be had from Just paddling In the water, which becomes more and more exhilarating as one learns to swim. There are many who are fond of swim ming who do not expect to become cham pion. If all those who are fond of music would try to do something Individually In a musical way, would try to play or sing better and a little more frequently, not necessarily for others but for them selves. To study If possible, not to be come professional musicians necessarily kut to keep themselves going and to gain the more enjoyment from It. To enter some form of ensemble music. Just to broaden ones repertory, and for the pleasure of It. If every one who Is fond of music ac tively Indulged this fondness for his own pleasure after the day's grind Is over, it would do much toward making Omaha a musical center. A musical cen ter Is a place within which, not through which, there Is great musical activity. Hearing great artists Is lino glimpsing th end of the rainbow. It should be an Incentive to greater efforts perhaps not to reach the end of the rainbow Itself but to stay upon Its path. To be a good listener is a good thing. To be a good listener and an enthusiastic disciple as well Is a better one. M. Saint Paens, recently wrote an ar ticle upon the San Francisco exposition, part of which Is reprinted In the New Muslo Review. While there he heard tha Boston Bymphony orchestra, and con ducted the Exposition Orchestra, and spoke highly of them both. The follow ing Is Interesting. "I had to contend with only one fault, which la nearly gen eral today, but was carried to an extreme by the flno orchestra from Boston. Fifty year ago orchestras always played too loud, today It Is the reverse. As soon as the Indications 'piano' and 'diminuendo appear everything fades away. , Melodic phrase era no longer sung; a mass of Important details passes unperceived. Like fortissimo the pianissimo should be exceptional, and then It produces a great effect, but Its abuse In a large hall Is a mistake. I have demanded this ex treme 'pianissimo' at the beginning of the Adagio In my symphony, and also the suppression of the "vibrato,' the con stant use of which la one of tha evils of modern Interpretation. It also should be exceptional and reserved for emo tional passages." These remarks could apply in a gen eral way to all musical Interpretation. In my own observation, two of the most neglected parts of Interpretative work are the diminuendos and crescenjos, and It I these es much es the extremes of th dynamic scale, which give vitality to tha muslo. The Tuesday Morning Musical club will present Mm. Louise Homer, prima donna contralto of the Metropolitan Opera com pany1, at the Boyd theater Thursday evening, January IS, in song recital. The San Carlo Opera company will be heard again thla aeaaon at the Auditorium under the auspices of Tangier temple.
