St. Louis

The symphony orchestra here prints a list of the compositions it has played in the 15 concerts that made up the recently closed season. This list presents certain peculiar features which should be added to the many singularities of St. Louis and might add to or detract from one's estimation of Mr. Rudolph Gans as an orchestra conductor.

Tschaikowsky's endlessly played Symphonic Pathetique appears not at all. Debussy is represented only by an aria from L'Enfant Prodigue, and by none of his orchestra pieces. Nor do we find the Fifth Symphony of Beethoven. The seventh was the only one of his symphonies played. These omissions are sinful. But many will find them a trifle refreshing.
