In Interpretation of
Music i
A great deal of Interest baa been
. displayed in tb talk made last Tutf
by Mis Rath Burr btfpra tb
Girls' Musical club' on the subject of
- ensemble mug ic. Miss Burr's talk is
V quoted In U entirety in the following
In tbe day's program we are to
bays quartet and a trio or the
. voice a duet for piano and trio for
' piano violin and VUo. Rightfully all
of these com tinder the bead of en-
gamble music our subject for the day.
r . "What is ensemble music? The
I '" woMecomes from tbe French meaning
iV together.! Suppose we take for ez-
"MJt topi several players who wer
T hi - "jt np in different schools each
H.UfcrSB"t ba bis own Una and aeb
them to join forces in a string quar-
rtet or trio. Each might find it quite
je S Jaalr to modify bis own individuality
-and idea of interpretation to that ex-
teal which i necessary for present
' bi perfectly harmonious interpre-
' tatlon of the work which they are
' playing their 'ensemble' would cer
tainly be unsatisfactory.
" "On tbe other hand we might ask
r -another group of players but of in-v..-
ferier attainment to give thle same
compositions-players who have bad
chances of playing together and learn-
ing each other's manner of phrasing.
' M doubt w would get a far better
idea of the work as a whole and
t'i their 'ensemble' would b said to be
t good.
. Applied te Chamlwr Mailc
f . "It is in regard to chamber music
that the special use of the word is
most common. The foundation of
chamber music was laid in the ix-
' teenth century when Instrumental mu.
sic first made its departure frpuj tbe
vocal
"Hitherto the orchestra had only
been used as an accompaniment to
r ' tbe opera. It was not until 1750 that
complete emancipation of the orches.
. tra a a body of solo instruments took
place which has resulted in our sym
phony orchestra of today
i- . "In speaking of the term 'ensemble
aa applied to orchestras we realize
that it is very hard for all detail of
phrasing to be brought out with com-
pitta sympathy between players so
" that there might be & perfect ensem-
- hie. An enderstandlng anq complete
realisation of fine ensemble involves
. . . absolute unselfishness on the part of
each . performer. In erhetr
! there are so many players to one part
that real deWcy of treatment is quit
difficult as U a sympathetic inter-
pretation 04 the part of all tb play-
r erf
' - "On the other hand in a small or
1(. chamber group where there is only
one pjajer to a part it Is required
that each player p4 o Instrument
be above the average. Naturally there
t would be more individuality of detail
and the ensemble weuld be more per-

for several instruments at a time

It was our privilege recently to
hear Ossip GsbrilowiUch aa pinnlat
with th Flonialey Quartet playing
Schumann's "Quintette in B-Flat
Major" This week the eminent
coutuctor ami pianist play two
piano solo record which reveal bun
as indeed a master of tone oolor.

melancholy littl "Novltte" in its
companion a quaint fragment of the
true Autumnal' mood.
Julia Culn contribute to the pro
gram two noble and simple melodies
sung in ber deep contralto. Men
delssohn's melody to Heine' "Auf
lugeln des ieanger wn wings
of Song) is always a joy and is
happily paired with Lieut's "Es muss
Wonderful.)
Two aria from "oteno" are oi-
fered by Uosa I'onaelle this week
the famous "Willow Bong" (Sake!
Salce!) and "Ave Maria." The dra-
matic and religjtfu qualities of
Verdi' conception of Shakespeare's
great tragedy find simple expression
through i'onaelle lovely and intel
ligent interpretation.
PIPE ORGAN RECORDS
Mark Andrew reveals th pipe
organ aa an instrument of delicate
almost dream-like beauty in two new
selections recorded by him this
week. Schumann's tremulous "Treu-
merei" is a fair teat of the orgnn'a
versatility while the dainty rhythms
of Lemare's "Andantino" ark charm
ingly recorded. !
Hie brilliance of the French
nineteenth century school finds dis-
play on two records by Victor Sym-
bony orchestra. I be overtures to
MasanieDo" and "If I Were King"
are played with due regard for their
conception and feeling. It takes
such records as these to preserve
such music for general enjoyment.
A family group from tbe Tenn
essee mountains discourses music
redolent of their highland fastnesses.
We are glad to meet Fiddlin'
Powers and hi family of children
who together manage the fiddle ban-
jo ukulele mandolin and guitar most
excellently it Is a treat to bear
some old-time dances played aa they
ought to be played by these who
know. "Ida Bed" and "Old Joe
Clark" are supremely such. It is
possible to dance on indefinitely to
their droning harmonies.

Frank Crumit in song conducts
us to the Domestic Relatione Court
this week in "No One Knows What
It's All About." We defy tbe audi-
ence to decide. "Oh! Didn't It

Wendell Hall's Pluvian classic.
Lewis James takes a more aerious
attitude on the subject of marriage.

Our customer! and friends know that we display no mean amount of skill in
having for Houston and the Houston trade territory the representative line of
the world's finest musical instruments.
Many now marvel that we can and do sell such a wonderful assortment
of famous old standard makes of pianos as Steinway Weber Sohmer Vose
& Sons Mathushek Kurtzmann Shoninger. Laffargue Schaeffer Lester
Ricca & Sons Leonard and others on such close price margins and give terms
that make it possible for anyone who really desires a piano to own one.
It may be skill on our part skjH in buying -or it may be purchasing
power. What difference does it make? The fact remains that here at Carter's
you ara given every purchasing advantage along with a selection that is not
excelled in its scope anywhere in the South.

CRITICS GENEROUS IN PRAISE
OF GLUCK ON CONCERT RETURN
-i Every critic who has heard Alma
Gluck this season in her return to the
concert stage bes showered her with
prgise. The famous singer has been
seen only in private life for three or
four years and her return has been
watched for with great 'interest.
Houston will have the opportunity of
hearing her again after five years.
She will appear in coaeert here on
December at Cathedral hall under
the direction of Mrs. Edna W.
Saunders.
Following is a bit from a New York
paper immediately after ber first con
cert en October 15 at the Manhattan
Opera House before a record-breaking
audience:
"Mme. Gluck hae not visited us for
four years and a packed house aeem-
ed to be saving up its enthusiasm for
that long to gret ber. Quite nervous
at the outset of the program it
seems even tbe best of them grow
nervous if tbe audience is big enough
tb enthusiasm of her listeners
wbp lined all the corners of the old
Manhattan Opera House putNber in
more settled mood sooti enough and
she satisfied tbe moat critical.
Gal That I Loved" suggests a situa-
tion hardly hilarious while "The
Ten Commandments of Love" en-
joins goodness of life. Both songs
strike popular chords and have in-
teresting orchestral settings.

it is not from her own point of view. '.
