6 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1919 THERE WAS PLENTY OF MUSIC ABROAD (Continued from Page Two) accustomed. Grandeur was present but lacking in depth and the effect of the whole orchestra in fortissimo was something like the shattering of much glass. The Scots have the word "slithering" which might describe it.

In spite of these things which are after all matters of taste--aud ours no doubt has been formed on- German models--the Lamroreaux orchestra is a wonderful organization, equal, if you can ec- cept their idea of the brass section, to our best orchestras.

No doubt the contrast sharpened the effect and heightened my appreciation, but Bach has to be well played and when the inspiration is present to the musician it is a labor of love as it was to these artists that afternoon. By the way, they did lots of Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart and Schumann at these and other good orchestra con- certs in Paris that winter and the chamber music recitals were past their tone.

Modern French compositions rather predominated on the orchestral pro- grams. / WHAT TO GIVE YOUR WIFE; OR A TIP FOR HUSBANDS Selecting a present for his wife | puzzles the average man.
