Out of the 180 supposedly musical people circularised by the Musical Society, I recognised only seven at the first recital. With one or two. exceptions, the music-toachers, or ganists, choriatora, singers and piano studenta (who should come to such a concert not only for plea sure but as part of their education)} were conspicuous by their absence. A special appeal was made to those Chinese, who are interested In Western music, of whom some 40 names are known to me. On Tuesday only one was there, though there was a few more on Friday.

The "Stabilisation Symphony."

The last week or so has seen a revival of that terribly long and drawn-out work: The Stabilisation Symphony. It made its appearance earlier in the year and came in for a good deal of criticism owing to the poverty of its material and the enormous amount of repetition in it. Readers will doubtless recall that it was preceded by an

"t-Over- tyre to the Currency Commission," “and the remainder of the work con

sisted of endless variations on a Stabilisation thome, one of which was performed almost daily for three months. Apart from the monotony of this repetition, it had other failings, for instance, it was played fortissimo throughout, and people. tired not only of the trum petting but of the excessive pro- portion of wind. Also it lacked a sense of balance and proportion, and played up to the gallery: (or down to the pit) in an effort to court pegularity at the expense o

of musicianship and merit.

After the first performance fell so. fal, it was not thought that it' would be revived again. It re cently received some rather severe. critiques, from London, and the pre- sent renewed attempt to popularisa it is hardly likely to meet with succos.The only new feature of Sthis revivals is the inclusion of a Lament and a Funeral March, which were not previously perform
