MRS. AHA M. KITTRIDGE.
Henry Wolfsohn announces a series of
Sunday night concerts at the Metropolitan
Opera House, commencing Sunday evening,
Nov. 24th. They will be looked forward to
with much interest.
Personally, Mrs. Kittridge is a charming lady,
and is sure to make many friends for both
herself and the school of music she is now
connected with. When Mr. Young incor-
porated the school of music, it was decided
Evan Williams and Miss Isabel Bouton by the directors to place Mrs. Kittridge as

"The limitations, however,
of the organ to the produc-

with the view merely of relig-

C I R WALTER PARRATT, England's
^
organ authority, according to John E.
Barkworth, an English organist, who has
just reached America, believes the rendering
of orchestral music on the organ may be
"justly compared to the reproduction of ari
oil painting by chromo-lithography, with its
comparatively crude tints and hard outlines."
Mr. Barkworth, who comes to take an im-
portant position in a leading
c o n s e r v a tory, believes in
avoiding the extreme, on the
one hand, of devoting the or-
gan solely to the reproduction
of orchestral music, and, on
the other, of devoting it ex-
clusively to the production of
religious selections. In course
of conversation, he said :
"Sir Walter Parratt is cel-
ebrated especially for his ex-
traordinary clearness of head
—a faculty he possesses to so
remarkable a degree that he
can carry on two games of
blindfold chess while playing
one of Bach's fugues. This
same clearness characterizes
his playing. But though he
can reproduce orchestral mu-
sic on the organ as well as
any living player, he always
discourages the attempt to
make the organ serve a pur-
pose for which it is not nat-
urally fitted.
