New Works by Austrian Composers.
Vienna, January 2.—Erich W. Korngold, after completing a new string quartet (dedicated to the Rose Quartet) and a piano quintet, is at work on two new operas of which one is of a humorous character. Wilhelm Kienzl is orchestrating his new one-act ballet.	P. B.
Sensational Success for New Gilbert Operetta.
Vienna, January 8.—For the first time in years all Vienna critics are unanimous in their praise of a new operetta, Katja die Tänzerin, by Jean Gilbert (Winterfeld), which had its first première at the Johann Strauss Theater here. The production, which entailed an outlay of 700 millions, is probably the most lavish ever seen at Vienna. The papers announce that the new piece has already been scheduled for production in America, England and France.	P. B.
LaForge-Berumen Musicale
It was altogether an excellent program which was presented at the February noonday musicale, under the direction of Frank La Forge and Ernesto Berumen, at Aeolian Hall, February 2. The guest artist was Gutia Casini, cellist, who gave two groups, assisted admirably by Kathryn Kerin at the piano. The Schumann Slumber Song, Popper’s Taran-telle, a Chopin nocturne and the Airs Baskyrs of Piatti made sufficient variety to display the wide range of his excellent art. Ernesto Berumen and the Duo-Art Piano played the scherzo finale of the Liszt concerto in E flat, the Schuett canzonetta and the Leschetizky intermezzo Scherzando. Mr. Berumen also gave a group which gave him a fuller opportunity to demonstrate his well rounded and consummate artistry. This group included the Amani Orientale, Little Star of Ponce, which he gave by special request, and Mala-guena of Albeniz, Esther Malmrose surprised and■ delighted the audience with a soprano voice of unusual beauty, wide range and power, which she used with distinction. In a group made up of three songs by Liszt, her diction and her interpretation were remarkable for their depth and sympathetic insight. It was quite easy to understand why the gentleman sitting near the writer gave vent to a distinctly audible and involuntary “bravo.” Miss Malmrose was assisted by Ruth Carlmark who played excellent piano accompaniments.
Verna Rabey, soprano, gave the familiar Voci di Prima-vera of Strauss, assisted by Minabel Hunt at the piano. Miss Hunt’s accompaniments were technically fine, but she evidently forgot that the top of the piano having been removed it would sound better not to play so loudly. Lawrence Tibbett scored a distinct hit with his singing of the Eri tu from Verdi’s Un Ballo in Maschera. Not only was he in fine voice, but he sang the aria with dramatic verve which was contagious. His audience recalled him again and again. The Duo-Art completed the program with the Ignaz Friedman interpretation of The Erlking (Schubert-Liszt) and Mr. La Forge’s playing of his own Romance.
Mozart-Clinic Masquerade
The annual Mozart-Clinic fancy dress ball and carnival took place in the grand ballroom, Hotel Astor, January 23-24, and was as usual a fine success. Mrs. Noble McConnell, founder and president, with her special aides—Mrs. S. Gardner Estabrook, chairman of ball ; .Mrs. E. Bassford Schmalholz, chairman of boxes, and Mrs. William Maynard Haradon, chairman of program, and the various sub-committees—all worked with splendid unity and consequent results. All who attended reported a fine time, and indeed it was a real social event, the brilliant costumes and the splendid orchestra (Orlando’s) combining to make it all most memorable. Judges awarded prizes for the most picturesque, the most humorous and the most original costumes, and a Buick Sedan was won by a fortunate resident of Washington Heights.
Musicians Club Holds Musicale and Reception
On Sunday afternoon, January 28, in Studio 810, Carnegie Hall, a reception and musicale was held by the Musicians’ Club of New York, at which the guests of honor were Senator-elect Royal S. Copeland and Mrs. Copeland, Emma C. Thursby, Mrs. Harry H. Thomas, president of the Century Theater Club, and fellow officers, directors and chairmen of the club. The musical program was furnished by Evelyn Mellen, violinist; Margaret Nikoloric, pianist; Harvey Hindermyer, tenor; Earle Tuckerman, baritone, with Ruth Emerson at the piano. There will be a similar affair given in the same place on February 25.
Levitzki in Special Recital
Mischa Levitzki, at the invitation of Dr. Frank Damrosch, gave a special recital for the students of the Institute of Musical Art on January 31.
Winnipeg Male Voice Choir in New York
The Winnipeg Male Voice Choir will give a concert in Carnegie Hall, New York, on Monday evening, February 26, assisted by Salvi, the harpist.
FOREIGN NEWS IN BRIEF
Concert Hall in Factory for Employees.
Cologne, December 21, 1922.—The directors of a dye and medicine factory in Leverkusen, near Cologne, have erected a concert hall in which their workmen may hear concerts and plays. First class artists and musical organizations have already been heard, including Max Pauer, Edwin Fischer, the Wendling Quartet, recently back from America, etc. Following the example of the Krupp Orchestra in Essen, the factory is also forming an orchestra from among its employees, many of whom play orchestral instruments, an accomplishment often found among German clerks and other office help. There is also a reading room connected with the hall where all German and foreign papers and magazines may be found. The factory also has its own newspaper and even prints its own money. Dr. H. U.
A “Profane” Mass and Biblical Opera.
Cologne, December 21, 1922.—Directed by a young lawyer-musician, Dr. .Geller, the Catholic Church choir of Neuss has been visiting neighboring cities and singing in the churches the new Missa Poetica, by the young Salzburg composer, Mester. High church officials in Cologne tried to prevent the performance of the work in the churches, but the archbishop, a young and enterprising ecclesiast, showed his sympathies by attending the performance of the Mass, which has had a big success. The same composer has just completed a new opera founded on the book Esther, from the Bible. It will have its premiere in Munich. Dr. H. U.
Alois Gobbi Celebrates Eightieth Birthday.
Budapest, December 29, 1922.—Alois Gobbi, formerly concertmaster of the Royal Opera, director of the National Conservatory and professor of violin, celebrated his eightieth birthday recently. A celebration was held in his honor at which an address was delivered by the representative of the minister of education, as well as congratulatory addresses by officials of the city, former pupils, etc. The orchestra, conducted by the eighty years old director, played one of Bach’s Prelude and Fugues arranged by Johan Abert.

Opera Attendance Light in London.
London, December 29, 1922.—The British Nation..l Opera Company is giving a brief season of opera in Covent Gqrden Opera House. The attendance for the first four nights has not been very encouraging. Hansel and Gretel, Faust, Tannhäuser, were fairly well sung but poorly mounted.	L. C.
Somebody Blew the Instruments
London, December 29, 1922.—D. McCullough, a musical instrument dealer of Dublin, Ireland, had his shop and all the instruments blown to pieces by a bomb yesterday. L. C.
Cologne Hoots New Music.
Cologne, January 10.—Cologne, long noted for its reactionary attitude towards modern music, hooted and ridiculed a performance of Schonberg’s Five Orchestra Pieces when conducted recently by General Music Director Hermann Aibendroth. This has resulted ■in the founding of a private society for the production of modern music by_ a number of musicians having modern tendencies. To minimize the expenses, they arrange with artists who pass through Cologne to stop off and give a concert. Thus far compositions by Schonberg, Pfitzner, Reger, Ravel, Debussy, Milhaud, Scott, Moussorgsky, Stravinsky, etc., have ■been heard. The society

“THE ART AND SCIENCE OF VIOLIN-PLAYING” By HAROLD EISENBERG
Dear Mr. Eisenberg:
Please forgive delay in answering your letter, which was caused by my desire to go fully into the study of your work before venturing to write you about it.
I can now tell you that, in my opinion, the first volume of your work, which you were good enough to send me, is A MASTERPIECE OF PEDAGOGICAL ART. It ought to be of immense value to students and teachers alike.	I remain, with kind regards,
Very sincerely yours, (Signed) Fritz Kreisler.
