CHAPTER X

THE POINT OF THE STORY

“_Time Was unlocks the riddle of Time Is_. _That offers choice of glory or of gloom_: _The solver makes Time Shall Be surely his._”

The point of the story is the music that the Philadelphia Orchestra makes. It would be a tragedy if after twenty-five years anyone could ask “Why?” A tragedy for the officers and directors, for the Women’s Committees, and for the reader and writer of this book. For the musicians and for Leopold Stokowski it would be more than a tragedy, the object of life would cease to exist.

Beginning in 1912 the musical record becomes more and more interesting. The leader has poured out his talents for Philadelphia and the feast has been lavish. Programme after programme of the works of the great, interpreted by the brain of Leopold Stokowski have enthralled his audiences. Only a few special selections and occasions can be mentioned, but a perusal of the programmes for thirteen years shows that the average of Philadelphia Orchestra concerts is far above the usual average, for he is a master maker of programmes.

It must not be supposed from the above that the usual standard works are not performed. The list is given to show the wide musical range to which Philadelphians are treated. No mention has been made of the many Wagner and Tschaikowsky programmes that have been presented. They have occurred every year and are always a delight.

It is a pleasure to mention the principal players in the orchestra, who are not generally known personally by the audience. It is a case of “by their voices you shall know them,” and their voices enthrall the listeners week by week. First comes Dr. Thaddeus Rich, most popular of concertmasters and an assistant conductor of no mean attainments, who is sometimes called to take the conductor’s place at the last minute, where he acquits himself with honors. As we look farther there are: David Dubinsky, first second violin; Samuel Lifschey, first viola; Hanns Pick, violoncello; W. M. Kincaid, flute; Marcel Tabuteau, oboe; Daniel Bonade, clarinet; Anton Horner, horn; Walter Guetter, bassoon; Sol. Cohen, trumpet; Gardell Simons, Paul P. Lotz, C. E. Gerhard, trombones; Philip A. Donatelli, tuba; Anton Torello, bass; Vincent Fanelli, Jr., harp; and last but not least, Oscar Schwar, tympani. These players all possess the requisites, which seem to be ability to play and ability to obey, for the response of their wills to the will of the leader is what makes success in an orchestra. One noticeable feature about the musicians is their youth; this is patent to the eye, and to the ear, from the virility of their performance.

To those who do not see farther than the Academy stage, it would be useless to explain that the conductor’s activities are not confined to stepping briskly onto the platform and leading concerts. People who have given the matter thought must know that he is working all the year round for the Philadelphia Orchestra. The rehearsals are very exacting and the players are wonderfully prepared. Conducting a concert means a physical, mental and emotional strain which is only understood by those who have seen the conductor as he comes off the stage. Leading without a score requires perfect concentration. Painstaking effort and patience on the part of Mr. Stokowski bring their reward in the finish of the performance, but it looks so easy! And therein is shown his skill. Next there is the constant search for new works and the mastering of them before rehearsals can begin. Much time is occupied in hearing and selecting players, for no stone is left unturned to find the best artists for each position. The mail is also a subject of importance, as correspondence is kept up with individuals and publishers and then there are letters of complaint or approval, all to be answered. The conductor is a busy man, whose brain never stops working, planning, devising for the orchestra.

Leopold Stokowski’s musical gifts are of a nature difficult to describe. What thrills come to one at the remembrance of certain moments, the first hearing of the Bach “Passacaglia,” the “Prelude and Liebestod” from Tristan, the symphonies of Brahms, Schubert and Tschaikowsky, Mahler’s Eighth, where the chorus “Alles Vergängliches ist nur ein Gleichniss” soars aloft, Beethoven’s Seventh, and the Ninth with the Mendelssohn Choir of Toronto. But why mention special moments? The audiences have come to expect every concert to be a “special moment.”

Philadelphia is to be congratulated that the orchestra bearing its name is in the hands of Leopold Stokowski, master musician. It is constantly advancing. When one peak on the climb is reached, the clouds roll away and another comes into view. Let no man speak its doom by proclaiming that the summit of Parnassus has been reached by the Philadelphia Orchestra.

* * * * *

The name of Alexander Van Rensselaer, Esq., appears on the first page of this book. It is fitting that it should also appear on the last, for the president’s activities encircle the orchestra. Many records of his deeds appear in the annals of the Association, and many more are engraved in the hearts of his fellow-workers and fellow-townsmen. He is the only person, however, who knows what sacrifices his devotion has entailed. For although a president may appear to enjoy more sunshine than other individuals, he also bears the shock of all the storms. The responsibility of such a post for twenty-five unbroken years is a heavy burden for a man to bear. To say that he has borne it and continued to hold the respect and affection of Philadelphians is the finest tribute that could be paid him.

The story told in this book has been made possible by the president of the Philadelphia Orchestra Association.

IN MEMORIAM THEODORE THOMAS BORN OCTOBER 11, 1835; DIED JANUARY 4, 1905

“The death of the pioneer of American music, and a veritable Titan of Conductors, Theodore Thomas, brings consternation to the world of music, as this great man stood for all that is pure and noble in his art. An event so calamitous, and peculiarly significant here in Philadelphia, where he was well known and beloved, devolves upon me the sad duty of giving an orchestral expression of our deep grief. While it is true that an all-wise Providence saw fit to remove from the field of action one who had probably reached the apogee of his power and influence, yet keen regret must of necessity be experienced, an emotion best expressed through the medium that the great Thomas made his own—the orchestra. Therefore, I deem it wise to change the programme for the Seventh Concert, selecting such numbers as, in a sense, may be regarded as a mortuary mass. In agreement with this idea, which I am sure my supporters will endorse, I have made the following changes, substituting such numbers that, were the lips now stilled in death able to articulate, they would, I trust, unreservedly approve. FRITZ SCHEEL Conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra.”

“RESOLUTION PASSED AT MEETING OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS, NOVEMBER 26th, 1919

“WHEREAS, the Directors of the Philadelphia Orchestra Association note with deep sorrow the death of Major Henry Lee Higginson,

“And WHEREAS, they recognize that by his death the cause of good music throughout the country has sustained an irreparable loss,

“And WHEREAS, they recognize their own deep debt of gratitude to him for his pioneer work in the said cause of music,

“BE IT RESOLVED that they place on record their very real sense of this great loss and their feeling of sympathy in it not only with the members of his family, but with every officer and member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra Association.

“It is further ordered that the Secretary of the Philadelphia Orchestra Association transmit a copy of this resolution to Mrs. Higginson and to the officers and members of the Boston Symphony Association.”

Resolution passed by the Women’s Committee, January 20th, 1920.

MRS. ALEXANDER J. CASSATT

“Mrs. Cassatt was associated with the Women’s Committee for the Philadelphia Orchestra, as an Honorary Vice-president, at the time of its organization in 1904; in 1909 she was elected to the Board of Managers, and in 1914 became a Vice-president, which position she held until her death on January 9th, 1920. She was Chairman of the Nominating Committee for many years and conducted its affairs with discretion and ability. She was also Chairman of a Committee, which during the winter of 1912 devoted much time and thought to the revision of the By-laws.

“Mrs. Cassatt gave her support to the cause of an orchestra for Philadelphia, however, before the Philadelphia Orchestra was organized as such, and before the Women’s Committee had a reason for existing. In the spring of 1900, she organized a committee of women which carried through the two so-called Philippine Concerts and gave Fritz Scheel his first opportunity to appear in Philadelphia as a conductor of an orchestra composed of professional musicians; as a direct result the Philadelphia Orchestra was organized in the fall of that year.

“In spite of failing health and physical suffering, Mrs. Cassatt’s interest in the welfare of this Committee and the orchestra never flagged; her wise counsel was freely given, and her gracious presence was always an inspiration. She gave to this Committee the benefit of her wide knowledge of people and affairs, and for this we have a deep sense of gratitude.

“Her last public appearance was at the Philadelphia Orchestra Endowment Fund Campaign Luncheon on November 6th, 1919, on which occasion she presented the gift of one thousand dollars to the Endowment Fund from the Women’s Committee as a tribute to its President, Miss Frances A. Wister.

“The influence of her loyalty will remain a rich heritage for the Women’s Committee for the Philadelphia Orchestra.

“THEREFORE, BE IT “RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Women’s Committee for the Philadelphia Orchestra, hereby express our affection and respect for Mrs. Cassatt, and our grief and sense of irreparable loss at her death.

“BE IT ALSO RESOLVED, That we record our appreciation of Mrs. Cassatt’s interest in the affairs of this Committee, of her work for the Philadelphia Orchestra, and of her distinguished qualities of leadership. We are profoundly touched by the fact that Mrs. Cassatt’s last public appearance was in our behalf, and are mindful of the privilege that has been ours in working with her for the cause of music in Philadelphia.

“BE IT ALSO RESOLVED, That this resolution together with the preamble be spread upon the minutes and that copies be sent to Mrs. Cassatt’s family as an expression of our deep sympathy in their loss.

“RESOLUTION PASSED BY THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA ASSOCIATION

“The officers and members of the Administration Committee of The Philadelphia Orchestra Association have learned with deep sorrow of the death of Mrs. Alexander J. Dallas Dixon, who had been a member of the Board of Directors of the Orchestra Association since its very beginning, as well as first President of the Women’s Committee for The Philadelphia Orchestra. Her charming personality, sweet disposition and wise judgment combined to make her endeared and respected by all her associates.

“In her death we have lost a true and devoted friend of music and a lady with whom it was a pleasure to be associated.

“THE WOMEN’S COMMITTEE FOR THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA

“MRS. ALEXANDER J. DALLAS DIXON

“Mrs. Alexander J. Dallas Dixon, the first President of this committee, who died on September 20, 1925, was for several reasons especially dear to our members.

“Captains of ships who take the helm for voyages over uncharted seas, or leaders of expeditions across unknown continents who bring such undertakings to successful ends, receive the honor of their comrades. How much more should we treasure the memory of a pioneer leader, whose enterprise was so skillfully planned that the work for a noble purpose has been able to continue during twenty-one years.

“Long before Mrs. Dixon entered upon the difficult position of President of this committee, however, she was a force in the musical life of the city. As an amateur pianist and singer, and as a member of the Eurydice Chorus and of the Melody Club, she was a well-known and important figure among the devotees of this enchanting art.

“Mrs. Dixon taught the committee many lessons, although some of us were unaware of this fact at the time, and probably she was herself. Behind a delightful simplicity of manner there lay courage, patience, ability, firmness of purpose in an unpopular cause and a shining soul. Therefore, personally and officially, Mrs. Dixon was the greatest ornament that the committee has possessed and the most beloved officer. It is especially distressing to us to lose her from our midst at a time when all friends of the Philadelphia Orchestra are rejoicing in the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the first concert, which is to be celebrated in November. So devoted a member of the Board of Directors of The Philadelphia Orchestra Association will be much missed on that occasion.

“It may be well said, ‘Her ways were ways of pleasantness and her paths were paths of peace,’ for, led by her, the Women’s Committee for The Philadelphia Orchestra has wended its steps along the same road. Our gratitude will endure while the committee continues to exist.

“A committee composed of the officers has been appointed to present a resolution for action at this special meeting of the Women’s Committee for The Philadelphia Orchestra.

RESOLUTION “MRS. ALEXANDER J. DALLAS DIXON “First President of the Women’s Committee for The Philadelphia Orchestra—1904-1912

“Mrs. Alexander J. Dallas Dixon was the first President of the Women’s Committee for The Philadelphia Orchestra, which was organized at her house on March 11, 1904. Until 1912 she continued as its presiding officer and during these years she held the esteem and affection of the members of the committee and administered its affairs with wisdom, justice and a broad vision.

“Therefore, be it Resolved: “That we, the officers and members of the Women’s Committee, desire to record our deep sense of loss in the death of a beloved former President and late Honorary Vice-President, and to express our appreciation of her fearless initiative, her unfailing good judgment, her gentle but firm character, her wise leadership.

“Be it also Resolved: “That this resolution be spread upon the minutes and that a copy be sent to her husband.

PHILADELPHIA PERMANENT ORCHESTRA PROSPECTUS March 3, 1899

The musical life of this city has reached a stage in its development that must make it apparent to all who are interested in the advancement of matters of art and education that if we are to continue the progress of the past few years and take our place as a city of any musical importance, the next and most necessary step is the founding of a Permanent Philadelphia Orchestra. Such an undertaking is one that requires serious consideration, and the co-operation not only of our music-loving public but of all citizens who are interested in our civic progress.

In order to establish an orchestra such as would be a distinct credit to the city, it is necessary to have a paid-up fund of not less than $250,000.

The following Committee, before issuing this circular, have given the matter great consideration, carefully looked into various organizations in other cities, and feel confident that if they meet with liberal response Philadelphia will have in a few years an orchestra second to none in America. When Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and other cities, not nearly so large or so wealthy, have established permanent orchestras, it is surely time that we should interest ourselves and unite in aiding to form an organization in keeping with our size and importance. This will not be possible with less than the sum before mentioned, which they trust you will aid them in securing upon the following terms and conditions:

1. Subscribers shall not be bound by their subscriptions unless the sum of $200,000 shall have been subscribed.

2. The fund shall be used only for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a permanent Philadelphia Orchestra, and it shall be applied for that purpose by the following Trustees:

C. WILLIAM BERGNER C. HARTMAN KUHN JOHN H. CONVERSE SIMON A. STERN SAMUEL A. CROZER JAMES F. SULLIVAN GEORGE W. CHILDS DREXEL THOMAS B. WANAMAKER CHARLES C. HARRISON

or their successors. The discretion of such Trustees shall be absolute as regards the administration of the fund, and they shall have power to fill any vacancy occurring in their number, they having agreed to abide by the conditions herein stated.

The Trustees shall invest $200,000 of the fund, using only the interest thereof and the additional $50,000 shall be used for current expenses of the first few years, when the expenses will be heavier and the deficit greater.

3. The orchestra shall be composed, first, of the best musicians resident in Philadelphia; then, of the best musicians obtainable either in this country or abroad. In order to insure the success of the enterprise, it is absolutely necessary that the highest standard be maintained, that the reputation of the orchestra can be established in other cities beside our own, for it is not possible for an orchestra to become self-supporting that cannot command engagements outside the city to which it belongs.

4. The Board of Trustees, when it considers that the completion of the fund is assured, shall select the leader upon the careful and unbiased consideration of the merits and records of all candidates submitted to it. Such candidates, however, to be only men of the highest reputation either in Europe or America, and the leader one whose name will add to the prestige of the orchestra both here and in other cities.

5. The selection and placing of the musicians shall be made by the leader, subject to conditions in paragraph three.

6. As the subscribers contribute to the fund solely for the benevolent purpose of advancing the cause of music in Philadelphia and release all control over said fund, they shall not be considered as partners with each other, or with the Trustees in the conduct or management of said orchestra.

7. The Board of Trustees shall never exceed nine in number.

8. Subscribers to the permanent fund shall have choice of seats in advance of the general public for all Symphony Concerts.

The Committee earnestly requests all who are interested and who will aid them by subscribing to the Fund, to kindly give the matter their prompt attention, and send in any subscription or communication as soon as possible, for if the Orchestra is to be established by next season, it is necessary to push matters without delay.

A Philadelphia newspaper 1899:

“HOW TO GET AN ORCHESTRA”

“It need not be difficult in Philadelphia to form as fine an orchestra as anybody is willing and able to pay for. A permanent orchestra is a very costly institution. It involves the permanent employment of anywhere from fifty to a hundred good musicians, at salaries sufficient to secure their constant and exclusive services as orchestra players throughout the

## active portion of the year. A simple calculation will

show that the expense of this mounts quickly by tens of thousands.

“Even in a great city, with a very large public interested in orchestral music, it is scarcely possible to meet this expense by the receipts from local concerts. There is a limit to the number of concerts that can be prepared or that can find hearers in one place, so that a large fixed orchestra can hardly earn its living—unless in some great place of popular resort, like the Crystal Palace at London or the Trocadero at Paris. Boston, an exceptionally self-reliant metropolis, provides two full audiences a week for the symphony concerts in Music Hall for twenty-four weeks in the year, but it is known that this does not meet the expense of the orchestra. Experience furnishes no evidence of any such hunger for orchestral music among the general public of Philadelphia as would justify a reliance on its financial support for an orchestra of the class of that which private generosity has maintained at Boston and that has established a standard with which, as a business enterprise, it would be necessary to compete.

“Clearly, therefore, such an enterprise, if undertaken here, must be undertaken either in a missionary spirit by those who regard music as an elevating influence in the community, or for their own gratification, by those who wish for greater musical opportunities for themselves. In either case, or both, the promoters must expect to pay the piper. And this being the case, we should say that those who pay have an entire right to choose their piper—to organize their orchestra in their own way and put it in charge of whom they please.

“The discussion that has been going on recently upon this subject has run wide of the mark. It is not a question of the best way to organize an orchestra, but simply whether there is anybody ready to put up the money to have an orchestra at all. If there is not, the whole discussion is futile; if there is, we cannot see that the details concern anybody else. The rest of us can pay for our tickets and find fault, or we can let it alone, as we have done with so many excellent orchestra concerts, past and present. Something beside the purely musical appeal is required to attract an audience, very few of whom can know the actual difference between one band and another, except in size and in some of the more meretricious technical effects, and if this can be supplied by personal, social or fashionable interest and influence, there is that much gained.

“It is an old rule in Philadelphia, that when anybody undertakes to do anything, everybody else proposes a different way. This has always prevented the natural development of a local orchestra, and always will do so as long as the matter is open to public contention. The first essential to the establishment of a high-class orchestra is capital. If that is provided, the rest can be obtained, and those who provide it have the right to determine how to spend it, and the right also to command appreciation an support. Without this we can dispute till the cows come home with no more result than at any other time in the past forty years, during which time everybody has been agreed that Philadelphia should have such an orchestra, but no two agreed as to who should conduct it, or how it should be maintained.”

_Public Leger_, March 4, 1899:

“A PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA”

“The movement which has long been on foot to establish a permanent symphony orchestra in this city, one which should from its inception challenge favorable comparison with any other orchestra in the United States, and one in which all who take an interest in music might feel a justifiable pride, has now taken such definite shape that its accomplishment is practically assured.

“A perusal of the prospectus of the Philadelphia Permanent Orchestra which was issued yesterday by the committee who have piloted the undertaking into its present haven, an which will be found published in full on another page, shows that a paid-up fund of $250,000 is necessary for the work in hand. All who are interested in the civic progress of the city, an those in particular who are interested in music, are invited to contribute to the fund.

“The details of the scheme speak for themselves, but the pith of the understanding is that $200,000 of the fund shall be permanently invested and the interest used for the advancement of the orchestra, while the $50,000 cash balance is to be devoted to the current expenses of the first few years. Preference is to be given to musicians resident in Philadelphia, and the Board of Trustees is to select the leader from conductors of acknowledged reputation at home or abroad.

“That such an institution will be of great and permanent value to the city, there can be no possible doubt. A symphony orchestra of the calibre proposed is as essential to the musical taste of the rising generation as a well endowed public library is to their literary education. Without an acknowledged standard to judge by, musical taste and musical judgment become chaotic, and degenerate by feeding without discrimination on what is inferior.

“That such an organization will draw full houses, those who have seen the Academy packed to the ceiling at every concert given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra will not doubt, an the fact that Philadelphia has enabled a grand opera company of the first magnitude to give an extended season here with a large margin of profit for the past two years, is another demonstration of the existence of a large musical public. It must be admitted that the musical public of Philadelphia is peculiar in some respects; it has a rooted antipathy to mediocrity and an invincible dislike of being managed from New York. But the public know what they want. They have long wanted an orchestra—a real orchestra—of their own. Various obstacles have cropped up from time to time in the way, but the last one—the war with Spain—no longer exists; the way has been cleared and the time is ripe for the accomplishment of its desire.

“The names of the committee who will direct the affairs of the orchestra are substantial guarantees of an able, impartial and business-like administration of its affairs, and the names of those who have endorsed it financially, a list that will be double and trebled in a few days, are certain indications that the orchestra will shortly be an accomplished fact.”

APPENDIX N

LITERATURE OF EARLY DAYS FIRST CIRCULAR ANNOUNCING THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA MAILED IN SEPTEMBER, 1900, TO ABOUT 4000 PEOPLE

THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA 85 Performers MR. FRITZ SCHEEL, Conductor

A series of six Symphony Concerts will be given at the Academy of Music during the season of 1900-1901, on the following dates: Friday evening, November 16; Friday evening, December 14; Friday evening, January 18; Friday evening, February 8; Wednesday evening, March 6; Friday evening, April 19.

Soloists of the first rank will assist at the concerts, and names will be announced as soon as pending engagements have been made.

The prices of season tickets, with reserve seats to the six concerts, are: Boxes with six seats $75; boxes with four seats $50; other seats $8, $6 and $4; proscenium boxes on application.

Sale of seats to holders of Patronesses’ Cards will begin at Miss Harris’s office, No. 1115 Chestnut Street, on Wednesday morning, October 10, at 9 o’clock.

The series announced above is the outgrowth of two Symphony Concerts given last winter for the benefit of sufferers by the Philippine War. The committee in charge was the auxiliary to the committee of ladies who supervised the Philippine concerts, and it is intended that the management of the series of the coming season shall be generally the same. To cover expenses of the concerts a guarantee fund has been subscribed, the amount of which is sufficient to meet the requirements of the present undertaking; but it is hoped that our people will give the concerts such liberal support as to prevent a deficit at the end of the season.

* * * * *

The Philippine concerts proved the availability of many of our resident musicians for work of the highest grade, and the committee has undertaken the task of organizing this series of concerts because it believes that with a sufficient number of rehearsals, under capable direction, our home players will be able to render great orchestral compositions efficiently and acceptably.

Mr. Scheel will insist upon frequent and thorough rehearsals of the music; and no labor nor expense will be spared to make the work of preparation complete and the musical results wholly satisfactory.

The committee feels, however, that without a widely spread interest among the people of Philadelphia, its chief object would not be realized. That object is largely to promote the musical culture of the city, and to improve its status as a center of musical effort.

Therefore, an appeal is made to every Philadelphian who understands what this undertaking may mean to the city’s future musical life for active interest and co-operation.

Most useful help can be given to the movement by making its object known to friends and acquaintances; all personal effort will be an effective aid to the committee’s work.

Whether or not the receipts equal the expenses of the concerts, it is the hope of the committee that this movement for music in Philadelphia will receive hearty encouragement and support from every one who has a pride in the city’s artistic life.

Committee: HENRY WHELEN, JR. JOHN C. SIMS EDWARD G. MCCOLLIN OSCAR A. KNIPE DR. EDWARD I. KEFFER OLIVER BOYCE JUDSON JOHN H. INGHAM, Secretary, 508 Chestnut Street.

CIRCULAR LETTER MAILED TO PATRONESSES WHO HAD NOT PURCHASED TICKETS ABOUT TEN DAYS BEFORE SALE TO PUBLIC, OCTOBER, 1900:

THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA 85 Performers MR. FRITZ SCHEEL, Conductor

The Management of the Philadelphia Orchestra wishes to inform those interested in the concerts that the sale of season tickets has progressed most favorably. Of the forty-nine boxes forty-one have been sold, and about thirteen hundred seats have been taken. There now remain unsold but 140 seats in the Parquet, 103 in the Parquet Circle and 76 in the Balcony. Prompt application at Heppe’s Piano Rooms, 1115 Chestnut Street, will be necessary to secure choice places. Should these seats be disposed of, there will, of course, be no sale of reserved seats for single concerts.

Such widespread support is the best proof that the public of Philadelphia has undoubted faith, not only in the musical ability of Mr. Scheel and his men, but also in the value of this effort to advance the cause of orchestral music in our community. The attitude of the musical profession toward the project is clearly set forth in the enclose circular.

Committee: HENRY WHELEN, JR. JOHN C. SIMS EDWARD G. MCCOLLIN OSCAR A. KNIPE DR. EDWARD I. KEFFER OLIVER BOYCE JUDSON JOHN H. INGHAM.

CIRCULAR ISSUE ABOUT OCTOBER 15, 1900, FOR PRESS AND FOR SOLICITING PATRONESSES, TO BE ENCLOSED WITH OTHER LITERATURE:

THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA MR. FRITZ SCHEEL, Conductor

Believing that the public would be glad to hear what the Musical Profession in Philadelphia thinks of this undertaking, the committee in charge has written to a few of the leading musicians, asking for their views. Extracts from their replies are given below.

The intelligent and keen critical standpoint from which their life’s training enables them to judge, gives weight to their words, and the complete unanimity of opinion which they express is noteworthy.

* * * * *

From Mr. Thomas a’Becket, President, Pennsylvania State Music Teachers’ Association:

“Without a doubt the best man who has taken up residence in Philadelphia during the past forty years. This opinion is shared by the older of our orchestral musicians; also by men who have recently played under his conducting. It has been fully demonstrated, first, that Mr. Scheel has wonderful ability in handling musicians—amateur as well as professional—and drawing from them their best work; second, that there is in Philadelphia—which I have maintained for twenty-five years—the nucleus for a good orchestra. The great need has been the proper man to bring together conflicting elements. (The movement) has, indeed, my heartiest support.”

* * * * *

From Dr. Hugh A. Clarke, Professor of Music, University of Pennsylvania:

“I believe Mr. Scheel to be a leader of first-rate ability in every respect. His work during the past winter gives ample evidence of his high standing as a musician and a conductor. The movement for the establishment of an orchestra in Philadelphia has my most cordial support, as I am convinced that it has now taken the right shape and is in the hands of the right people.”

* * * * *

From Mr. W. W. Gilchrist, Principal of the Central Conservatory of Music, Leader of the Mendelssohn Club, Leader of the Harrisburg Oratorio Society, etc.:

“Those in whose judgment I have confidence speak very highly of him. The movement has my cordial support.”

* * * * *

From Dr. Alfred C. Lambdin, Musical Editor, of “The Philadelphia Times.”

“To the broad musical knowledge, the imaginative perception, the technical accomplishment that makes up the interpretive artist of high rank, he seems to add those peculiar personal qualities, the power of expressing his musical ideas through the medium of others, that differentiate the real ‘conductor.’ The value of such a man in any musical community is measured only by his opportunity. The great value of Mr. Scheel’s work this winter has been in the fresh and full artistic authority, which he has brought to bear upon our disorganized musical forces here. The two concerts at the Academy abundantly demonstrated what can be done under such leadership and how it can be done. The movement, therefore, to continue that work, and develop it on the lines already laid down, commands my most cordial support.”

* * * * *

From Mr. D. D. Wood, Organist of St. Stephen’s Church, Instructor at Philadelphia Musical Academy, Teacher of Harmony, Counterpoint, etc.:

“Mr. Scheel is possessed of all those rare qualifications which go to make up a great leader.

“He is most excellent musician of large and varied experience, an earnest and conscientious worker, a man of great personal magnetism, and thoroughly capable of making the very best of the means at his disposal. As a conductor he deserves a place in the very first rank.

“The work accomplished by Mr. Scheel during the past winter has been eminently successful, and deserves the cordial recognition of all true lovers of musical art, and of all who are interested in the progress of that art in our city.

“I am in hearty sympathy with the movement set forth in your circular.”
