...more smell of the lamp in his work than there is in the lyrics of Shakespeare. It is infinitely artless and spontaneous. But in its artlessness there is no sign of that intellectual poverty which so often shows itself, for example, in Haydn. Few composers, not even Beethoven and Bach, have been so seldom banal. He can be repetitious and even tedious, but it seems a sheer impossibility for him to be obvious or hollow. Such defects get into works of art when the composer's lust to create is unaccompanied by a sufficiency of sound and charming ideas...

...covered with iv, of soft autumn red, has for one of its chief uses recitals on the organ, which at this time of year seems to vibrate with the symphonic andante of deepening autumn.

They will remember the Strauss of Mengelberg, the Debussy of Koussevitsky, the Bach of Stokowski, the Wagner of Toscanini; and in the fervor of appreciation of individual performances they will have forgotten the millions whose musical sense has been awakened by Damrosch. They will have forgotten that it was Damrosch who first introduced to the U. S. such composers as Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Rimsky...
Whatever else may come, Conductor Stokowski stepped up on the dais last for the time being. He gave them the same big music that he himself has taught them to demand-a Bach choral prelude orchestrated- by himself, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Sibelius' "Finlandia." He gave them a novelty-Roussel's Concerto, pleasant and unimportant. Philadelphians held their thumbs and waited. Stokowski is to be with them until late November, back again in late March. Able guest conductors are to be sandwiched in between- Ossip Gabrilowitsch, Bernardino Molinari, Sir Thomas Beecham, Clemens Krauss from Frankfurt...
