He BEETHOVEN EIGHTH SYMPHONY HEARD Dr. Muck Presents Work as Backbone of Program at Exposition. (By ALEXANDER STEWART.) The Symphony No. Beethoven himself called nis "Little" Symphony, no doubt because of, its brevity. was the symphonic backbone of the Boston orchestra's program at the exposition last evening.

Delightfully as "the work was played by the Poston players under' Dr. Muck, it Ailed to interest, as a whole, as much Als the other symphonies which these concerts have brought U'S. 'Che most characteristic movement is the SPCond, the allegretto, which shows Beathoven in one of his lighter moods. Ag an introduction to the symphony had the Weber Freischutz' overture. It was indeed a delight 10 hear this familiar work -play -such an orchestra as the Boston players.

'The quartet for French horns which has been made familiar to much 'of the public -in America by church hymn arrangement, vas played as it is seldom heard. as none' but orchestras of the standard of the Boston symphony rossess a quartet of horns of equal excellence. 'One 'of the few compositions by an American' composer which appear these programs was heard last night in the symphonic sketches by George Av. Chadwick, Dr. Murk's Boston colleague and head of the New England Convarvatory.

of Music. Eecentric and bizzarre as ares these pieces, Chadwick at times rises to the heights of noble music especially in the "Noel," a lovely theme most ef-fectively The last two nove.ments "Hofgoblin' and the "Tramp Ballad" are excellent examples of the ultra- modern treatment of the orchestra which calls upon it to express all kinds of moods. After such musical eccentricities as. characterize the larger part of these sketches. the overture and the two tone poems by the Finish composer, Sibelius, were welcome.

A master musical mind is revealed in the of this composer. He speaks with power both melodies and their orchestral treatnient Some of the orchestral sonority as well as color which Wagner possessed in such great measure are noticeable in Sibelius' orchestral works. The second of the pieces played last night, Swan 'of is one of the inost fascinating pictures for orchestra which I have ever heard. It was exquisitely played by Dr. Muck and his players.

The symphonic poem, "Finlandia," revealed Sibelius in another mood and one may readily' imagine the patriotic fervor which this might arouse in an audience of the countrymen of its composer. The program tonight presents one of the most composite of the Series, with the Brahm's Symphony No. 2 the Liszt poem "Les" Preludes, and Richard Strauss' "Death and Transfiguration" and Wagner's prelude, to "Ler Tomorrowhevening will be devoted to Italian composers represented by Sgambati, Cherubini, Bossi and Sinigaglia.
