This is a season of softer styles, especially in hats. Brims have a
softening influence which is further felt in the straws of which newhats are made—baku, chanvre soie and ballibuntl. With these
softer, feminine fashions, restrained trimmings are noted, a touchof straw lace, a twist of velvet or ribbon, or a single cluster of
beautiful flowers introducing just the right touch.

Overture to "Leonore" No. 3, Or. 72 Ludwig van Beethoven
(Born at Bonn, December 16 (?), 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827)
Beethoven's opera, "Fidelio, oder die eheliche Liebe," with text
adapted freely by Joseph Sonnleithner from the French of Bouilly
("Leonore; ou L'Amour Conjugal/' a "historical fact" in two acts
and in prose, music by Gaveaux, Opera-Comique, Paris, February
19, 1798), was first performed at the Theatre an der Wien, Vienna,
November 20, 1805, with Anna Pauline Milder, afterwards Mme.Hauptmann, as the heroine. The other parts were taken as follows
:
Don Fernando, Weinkopf ; Don Pizarro, Meier; Florestan, Demmer;Rocco, Rothe; Marzelline {sic), Miss Mtiller; Jacquino, Cache;
Wachthauptmann, Meister. "The opera was hastily put upon the
stage, and the inadequacy of the singers thus increased by the lack
of sufficient rehearsals." Beethoven had received the text in 1804.
He worked on the music the following summer at Hetzendorf . Onhis return to Vienna, rehearsals were begun. In later years Fidelio
was one of Anna Milder's great parts : "Judging from the contempo-
rary criticism, it was now (1805), somewhat defective, simply from
lack of stage experience."
In the year that saw the production of "Fidelio," Napoleon's army
was hastening toward Vienna. There was an exodus from the town
of the nobility, merchants, and other residents. The vanguard of
the French army entered on November 13. Those of the Viennese
who would have appreciated the opera had fled the town. The
theatre was not well filled. Many in the audience were or had been
officers in Napoleon's army. The success of the opera was small.
Only two performances followed the first. At the first and at the
second the overture, "Leonora," No. 2, was performed. Dr. Henry
Eeeve, not a musician, heard the opera at the third performance. Hegave an account of what took place: "Beethoven presided at the
pianoforte and directed the performance himself. He is a small,
dark, young-looking man, wears spectacles, and is like Mr. Koenig.*
This is the first opera he ever composed, and it was much applauded
;
a copy of complimentary verses was showered down from the upper
gallery at the end of the piece.f . . . The story and plan of the piece
are a miserable mixture of low manners and romantic situations;
the airs, duets, and choruses equal to any praise. The several over-
tures, for there is an overture to each act,J appear to be too artifici-
ally composed to be generally pleasing, especially on first being
Koenig was the inventor of a printing press.
fThe verses were written by Beethoven's friend Stephan von Breuning. He hadthe printed copies distributed among the audience.
t'lt is not easy to know what is here meant. There were not any entr'actes forthe opera, which was in three acts when it was first produced.

heard. Intricacy is the character of Beethoven's music, and it re-
quires a well-practiced ear or a frequent repetition of the same piece
to understand and distinguish its beauties.''
The key of the "Leonore" Overture No. 3 is C major. A short
fortissimo is struck. It is diminished by wood-wind and horns, then
taken up, piano, by the strings. From this G there is a descent
down the scale of C major to a mysterious F-sharp. The key of Bminor is reached, finally A-flat major, when the opening measures
of Florestan's air,aIn des Lebens Friihlingstagen" (act ii. of the
opera), is played. The theme of the Allegro, C major, begins pian-
issimo, first violins and violoncellos, and waxes impetuously. The
second theme has been described as "woven out of sobs and pitying
sighs." The working-out consists in alternating a pathetic figure,
taken from the second theme and played by the wood-wind over a
nervous string accompaniment, with furious outbursts from the
whole orchestra. Then comes the trumpet-call off stage. The twice-
repeated call is answered in each instance by the short song of
thanksgiving from the same scene. Leonore's words are : "Ach ! dubist gerettet ! Grosser Gott !" A gradual transition leads from this
to the return of the first theme at the beginning of the third part

Isn't life much like the"year ?
The Spring should offer hope for a lovelyTSummer— the Summer should
augur well for a delightful Autumn— and'Autumn'should prove the frui-
tion time for all our hopes, aspirations and maturity of our ideals. Andthe chill blasts of Winter! Well, these needn't be feared if we provide
well for them, need they?
The great life insurance companies builded well when they conceived the
ENDOWMENT form of insurance to mature in the Autumn period of life
to provide against wintry blasts in old age.
A series of Endowments maturing in units of from $2,000. to $5,000. a

(flute solo). The third part is developed in general as the first part
and leads to a wildly jubilant coda.
The overture "Leonore" No. 3 was first played in Boston at a
concert of the Musical Fund Society on December 7, 1850. Gr. J.
Webb was the conductor. The score and the parts were borrowed
;
for the programme of a concert by the Society on January 24, 1852,
states that the Overture was then "presented by C. C. Perkins, Esq."
The score calls for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two
bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, kettledrums,
and the usual strings.
Symphony No. 6, in F major, "Pastoral," Op. 68Ludwig van Beethoven
(Born at Bonn, December 16 (?), 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1827)
This symphony—"Sinfonia pastorale" was composed in the coun-
try round about Heiligenstadt in the summer of 1808. It was first
performed at the Theatre an der Wien, Vienna, December 22, 1808.
The symphony was described on the programme as "A symphony en-
titled 'Recollections of Life in the Country/ in F major, No. 5" (sic).

All the pieces performed were by Beethoven : an Aria, uAh, perfido,"
sung by Josephine Kilitzky ; Hymn with Latin text written in church
style, with chorus and solos ; Pianoforte Concerto in G major, played
by Beethoven; Grand Symphony in C minor, No. 6 (sic) ; Sanctus,
with Latin text written in church style from the Mass in C major,
with chorus and solos; Fantasie for pianoforte solo; Fantasie for
pianoforte, "into which the full orchestra enters little by little, and
at the end the chorus joins in the Finale." The concert began at
half-past six. We know nothing about the pecuniary result.
J. F. Reichardt wrote a review of the new works. He named, but
incorrectly, the subtitles of the Pastoral Symphony, and added,
"Each number was a very long, complete, developed movement full
of lively painting and brilliant thoughts and figures; and this, a
pastoral symphony, lasted much longer than a whole court concert
lasts in Berlin." Of the one in C minor he simply said: "A great,
highly-developed, too long symphony. A gentleman next us assured
us he had noticed at the rehearsal that the violoncello part alone
—
and the violoncellists were kept very busy—covered thirty-four
pages. It is true that the copyists here understand how to spread
out their copy, as the law scriveners do at home." No record of the
reception by the audience of the new works has come down to us.
Reichardt censured the performance of the Hymn—a Gloria—and

the Sanctns, and said that the piano concerto was enormously diffi-
cult, but Beethoven played it in an astounding manner and with
incredible speed. "He literally sang the Adagio, a masterpiece of
beautiful, developed song, with a deep and melancholy feeling that
streamed through me also." Count Wilhourski told FerdinandHiller that he sat alone in an orchestra stall at the performance, andthat Beethoven, called out, bowed to him personally, in a half-
friendly, half-ironical manner.
In a letter to Breitkopf and Hartel, Leipsic, written on March 4,
1809, Beethoven says: "You will receive to-morrow a list of small
improvements which I made during the performance of the sym-
phonies—when I gave them to you I had not heard a note of either.
One must not pretend to be so divine as not to make improvementshere and there in one's creations. Herr Stein offers to you to tran-
scribe the Symphonies for two pianofortes ; write to me whether youwish that, or whether you wish and are willing to pay."

The headings finally chosen are on the title-page of this Pro-
gramme Book. The descriptive headings were probably an after-
thought. In the sketch-book, which contains sketches for the first
movement, is a note: "Characteristic Symphony. The recollections
of life in the country." There is also a note : "The hearer is left to
find out the situations for himself."
M. Vincent d'Indy in his "Beethoven" (Paris, 1911) devotes sev-
eral pages to Beethoven's love of nature. "Nature was to Beethovennot only a consoler for his sorrows and disenchantments ; she wasalso a friend with whom he took pleasure in familiar talk, the onlyintercourse to which his deafness presented no obstacle." Nor did
Beethoven understand Nature in the dryly theoretical manner of
Jean Jacques Rousseau, whose writings then were in fashion, for
there could be no point of contact between the doctrines of this
Calvinist of Geneva and the effusions of Beethoven, a Catholic bybirth and by education. Nor did Beethoven share the views of manyromantics about Nature. He would never have called her "immense,impenetrable, and haughty," as Berlioz addressed her through the
mouth of his Faust. A little nook, a meadow, a tree,—these sufficed
for Beethoven. He had so penetrated the beauty of nature that for
more than a dozen years all his music was impregnated by it.
His bedside book for many, many years soon after his passion for
Giulietta Gruicciardi was the "Lehr und Erbauungs Buch" of Sturm.

Passages underscored show the truth of the assertions just made,and he copied these lines that they might always be in his sight:
"Nature can be justly called the school of the heart ; it shows us be-
yond all doubt our duty towards God and our Neighbor. I wishtherefore to become a disciple of this school, and offer my heart to it.
Desirous of self-instruction, I wish to search after the wisdom that
no disillusion can reject ; I wish to arrive at the knowledge of God,and in this knowledge I shall find a foretaste of celestial joys."
M. d'Indy draws a picture of the little Wirthschaften in the sub-
urbs of the large towns, humble inns "not yet ticketed with thepompous barbarism of 'restaurant.' " They were frequented by the
bourgeoisie, who breathed the fresh air and on tables of wood ate the
habitual sausage and drank the traditional beer. There was a dancehall with a small orchestra ; there was a discreet garden with odor-
ous alleys in which lovers could walk between the dances. Beyondwas the forest where the peasant danced and sang and drank, but the
songs and dances were here of a ruder nature.
Beethoven, renting a cottage at Dobling, Grinzing, or Heiligen-
stadt, which then were not official faubourgs, could in a few minutesbe in the forest or open country. Thus influenced, he wrote thepianoforte sonatas, Op. 28 and Op. 31; the "Waldstein" sonata; theviolin sonata, Op. 30, No. 3 ; three movements of the seventh quartet
(1806) ; the sixth, seventh, and eighth symphonies; and the tenth
sonata for violin, Op. 96 ; also Village Dances, the finales of Trios,
Op. 70, No. 2, and Op. 97, and the pastoral entr'acte of "Egmont."

Beethoven did not attempt to reproduce the material, realistic im-pression of country sounds and noises, but only the spirit of thelandscape.According to M. d'Indy the Andante is the most admirable expres-
sion of true nature in musical literature. Only some passages of"Siegfried" and "Parsifal" are comparable. Conductors usuallytake this Andante at too slow a pace, and thus destroy the alertpoetry of the section. The brook furnishes the basic movement, ex-pressive melodies arise, and the feminine theme of the first Allegroreappears, alone, disquieted by the absence of its mate. Each sectionis completed by a pure and prayer-like melody. It is the artist whoprays, who loves, who crowns the diverse divisions of his work by aspecies of Alleluia.*

It has been said that several of the themes in this symphony weretaken from Styrian and Carinthian folk-songs.*
The symphony, dedicated to Prince von Lobkowitz and CountRasoumoffsky, is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, twobassoons, two horns, two trumpets, kettledrums, and strings. Twotrombones are added in the fourth and fifth movements and a piccolo
in the fourth. The work was published in 1809.
f
It may here be said that some programme-makers give five move-ments to this symphony. They make the thunder-storm an inde-
pendent movement. Others divide the work into three movements,beginning the third with the "jolly gathering of country-folk."
* See the volume of folk-songs collected by Professor Kuhac, of Agram.fBeethoven in June, 1808, offered this symphony and the one in E minor, with
the Mass in C and the violoncello sonata, A major, Op. 69, to Breitkopf and Hartelfor 900 florins. This sum, however, "must be paid, according to Vienna Currency,in convention coin, and this must be expressly stated on the draft."

Symphony in E minor, Op. 98 . . . . . Johannes Brahms
(Born at Hamburg, May 7, 1833; died at Vienna, April 3, 1897)
This symphony was first performed at Meiningen, October 25,
1885, under the direction of the composer.
Simrock, the publisher, is said to have paid Brahms forty thou-
sand marks for the work. It was played at a public rehearsal of
the Symphony Orchestra in Boston, November 26, 1886. Although
Mr. Gericke "did not stop the orchestra"—to quote from a review
of the concert the next day—he was not satisfied with the per-
formance. Schumann's Symphony in B-flat was substituted for the
concert of November 27; there were further rehearsals. The work
was played for the first time in Boston at a concert of this or-
chestra on December 23, 1886. The first performance in the United
States was by the Symphony Society, New York, December 11, 1886.
The symphony was composed in the summers of 1884 and 1885 at
Mtirzzuschlag in Styria: the Allegro and Andante during the first
summer, the Scherzo and Finale during the last. Miss Florence
May in her Life of Brahms says that the manuscript was nearly
destroyed in 1885: "Keturning one afternoon from a walk, he
(Brahms) found that the house in which he lodged had caught fire,

and that his friends were busily engaged in bringing his papers,
and amongst them the nearly finished manuscript of the new sym-
phony, into the garden. He immediately set to work to help in
getting the fire under, whilst Frau Fellinger sat out of doors with
either arm outspread on the precious papers piled on each side
of her."
In a letter, Brahms described this symphony as "a couple of
entr'actes," also as "a choral work without text." He was doubtful
about its worth. He consulted his friends, and he and Ignaz BruQplayed a pianoforte arrangement in the presence of several of them.
He judged from their attitude that they did not like it and he wasmuch depressed. There was a preliminary orchestral rehearsal at
Meiningen in October, 1885, conducted by Hans von Billow.
Brahms arrived in time for the first performance. The symphony

was most warmly applauded, and the audience endeavored, but in
vain, to obtain a repetition of the third movement. The work wasrepeated November 1 under Bulow's direction, and was conductedby the composer in the course of a three weeks' tour with the or-
chestra and Bulow in Germany and in Netherlands. The first per-
formance in Vienna was at a Philharmonic concert, led by Richter,
January 17, 1886. "Though the symphony was applauded by the
public and praised by all but the inveterately hostile section of the
press, it did not reach the hearts of the Vienna audience in the
same unmistakable manner as its two immediate predecessors,
both of which had made a more striking impression on a first
hearing in Austria than the first symphony in C minor. Strangelyenough, the fourth symphony at once obtained some measure of
real appreciation in Leipsic, where the first had been far moresuccessful than the second and third." This statement is toofriendly towards Brahms. As a matter of fact, the symphonydisappointed Brahms's friends. Hugo Wolf wrote a bitter reviewin which he made all manner of fun at the fact, trumpeted byBrahms's admirers, that at last there was a symphony in E minor.(See "Hugo Wolf's Musikalische Kritiken," Leipsic, 1911, pp.241-244.) It was performed under the composer's direction at theGewandhaus concert in Leipsic of February 18, 1886.
This symphony was performed at a Philharmonic concert in
Vienna on March 7, 1897, the last Philharmonic concert heard byBrahms. We quote from Miss May's biography: "The fourth sym-phony had never become a favorite work in Vienna. Received withreserve on its first performance, it had not since gained much morefrom the general public of the city than the respect sure to be ac-

corded there to an important work by Brahms. To-day [sic], how-ever, a storm of applause broke out at the end of the first movement,!not to be quieted until the composer, coming to the front of the
artist's box in which he was seated, showed himself to the audience.
The demonstration was renewed after the second and the third
movements, and an extraordinary scene followed the conclusion of
the work. The applauding, shouting house, its gaze riveted on thefigure standing in the balcony, so familiar and yet in presentaspect so strange, seemed unable to let him go. Tears ran downhis cheeks as he stood there, shrunken in form, with lined coun-
tenance, strained expression, white hair hanging lank ; and throughthe audience there was a feeling as of a stifled sob, for each knewthat they were saying farewell. Another outburst of applause andyet another; one more acknowledgment from the master; andBrahms and his Vienna had parted forever."*
In the summers of 1884 and 1885 the tragedies of Sophocles, trans-
lated into German by Gustav Wendt, were read diligently byBrahms. It is thought that they influenced him in the compositionof this symphony. Kalbeck thinks that the whole symphony pictures
the tragedy of human life. He sees in the Andante a waste andruined field, as the Campagna near Home; he notes the appearanceof a passage from Brahms's song, aAuf dem Kirchhofe," with the
words "Ich war an manch vergess'nem Grab gewesen" ; to him the
Scherzo is the Carnival at Milan. While Speidel saw in the Finalethe burial of a soldier, Kalbeck is reminded by the music of the
passage in Sophocles's "(Edipus Coloneus" : "Not to have been bornat all is superior to every view of the question ; and this, when onemay have seen the light, to return thence whence he came as quickly
as possible, is far the next best."
The symphony was published in 1886. It is scored for two flutes
(one interchangeable with piccolo), two oboes, two clarinets, twobassoons, one double-bassoon, four horns, two trumpets, three trom-bones, a set of three kettledrums, triangle, and strings.
Brahms attended the production of Johann Strauss's operetta, "Die Gottin derVernunft," March 13, but was obliged to leave after the second act, and he attendeda rehearsal of the Raeger-S'oldat Quartet less than a fortnight before his death.
