Utah Symphony still slated at BYU Brigham Young University will open its annual Perform- " sky's songs and piano pieces. The story is taken from a Hans Christian Andersen tale, ing Arts Series Sept. 15 with the first of four concerts by the Utah Symphony. A spokesman for the symphony indicated that negotia- "The Ice Maiden," in which an infant receives a fairy's magic kiss on his birth day. Two decades later, on his wedding day-t- he day of his tions Friday and early this week would resolve working greatest happiness-t- he fairy returns with second kiss and bears the young man off to eternity to preserve his joy conditions and salary disputes. Rehearsal is scheduled for Wednesday and the BYU concert Thursday. The symphony is scheduled to appear at 7:30 p.m. in the de Jong Concert Hall of the Harris Fine Arts Center with Joseph Silverstein conducting the orchestra in a program of Strauss, and Stravinsky Tchaikovsky. The musicians will perform "Don Juan" by Richard Strauss, "The Fairy's Kiss" by Igor Stravinsky, and Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, op. 36 by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. With "Don Juan," Strauss wrote his first masterpiece in 1888. Its impassioned love themes have been attributed to the spell of romance between Strauss and Pauline de Joseph Silverstein Anna, the woman he married and with whom he shared an apparently happy life. The body of the work comprises themes associated with the lover and his conquests starting with a vigorous opening strain and a stentorian melody. "The Fairy's Kiss," written in 1928 to commemorate the 35th anniversary of Tchaikovsky's death, features adaptations of several of Tchaikov forever. Stravinsky identified the young man with Tchaikovsky and the fairy with the muse of music. Tchaikovsky's fourth symphony was written during a crucial and turbulent time in the composer's life. In 1877 two women forced him to evaluate himself as he never had before. One was a music-lovin- g widow, Nadezhda von Mech, who, enthralled by Tchaikovsky's music, gave him the financial support to quit his teaching job at the Moscow Conservatory and devote himself to his own music Although they never met their steady full-tim- e. face-to-fac- e, correspondence became an outlet for his thoughts and -- I feelings. The second was an un- noticed student from one of his large lecture classes who had worked herself into a passion over her young professor as reflected in her letters to him. He had been considering marriage for almost a year in the hope that it would give him the stable home life he had not enjoyed in the 20 years since his mother's death and would help dispel rumors of his homosexuality. With this woman, Antonina Miliukov, he hoped for the impossible-- a pure, platonic Young family shares art marriage without physical p.m. at the Utilities Building Gallery, 251 W. 800 N., Provo, will open an exhibit by members of the Jesse L.

The Provo marriage crumbled within days. The music was completed by the time he proposed, and it reflects his confirmation of the inexorable workings of Fate in human destiny.
