MODERN PIANOFORTE SONATAS

THE football season begins, or appears to begin,' earlier every year. By the end of August nowadays the turnstiles on the League grounds have begun to click again, and the crowds coming home from cricket matches mingle with the crowds setting off for the football grounds. Mr. Allison's talk this evening on the prospects for the Soccer season comes, therefore, none too soon.

ONE of the members of the Russian school of composers who could look back with pride to the inspiring teaching of Rimsky-Korsakov, at the St. Petersburg Conservatoire, Arensky was for a time a Professor at Moscow. In 1892. his first opera made a successful appearance there; like so many of the popular Russian operas, it is on a national subject—A Dream of the Volga. Other operas, ballets, and cantatas followed it, and he is known also as a distinguished composer for the Church. He composed also symphonic and other orchestral music, of which the Variations on a Tchaikovsky Theme are best known in this country, and a good deal of chamber music, notably the two pianoforte trios, of which the first especially is frequently played. More than his contemporaries, he may be said to have carried on Tchaikovsky's tradition, though without so rich a share of poetic ideas, and without Tchaikovsky's gift of dramatic force. His mastery of orchestral resources, too, was less facile, and less versatile than Tchaikovsky's, but he had at command a fund of pleasing melody, and many of his pieces arc no doubt destined to enjoy a lasting popularity.
CYRIL SCOTT is one of these versatile people who win distinction in more than one field. He is a composer, a poet. and an author of note on philosophic subjects. Born in Cheshire in 1879, he was a student at Frankfurt, where more than one other young Englishman who has since stepped into the front rank of composers, was with him. At the end of his student career he lived for a time in Liverpool, teaching and playing, and his first important orchestral piece, the Heroic Suite, was played there as well as at Manchester with Richter conducting. Soon afterwards his Pelleas and Melisande was given in Frankfurt. Other works of his have figured at Sir Henry Wood 's concerts and elsewhere ; Sir Thomas Beecham has interested himself in more than one of them, and as far afield as Vienna his music has been played. Best known by his songs and smaller pieces. lie deserves a more important position than his native country accords him for his bigger and more serious works. We are given too few opportunities of hearing them. In some ways less definitely temporaries, his music is in even way original, and modern without any of the more startling dissonant effects in which the present-day composer inclines to express himself.
