Show f : Music v For the first time in tho history of the Jowish people and for the first time in the history of music, a composer com-poser has appeared whose avowed intention in-tention Is the musical expression of what is racial In the Jew. His name is Ernest Block, a native of Switzerland, and he has recently become a resident of New York. While the New York critics agree that he is not the first Jew who has attained distinction, they admit he is the first Jew who has ever attempted to write what might be called "Jewish music' Mendelsshon was converted to, Christianity and actually preached the message of the Reformation in his art, and was a. German romanticist. Meyerbeer continued the French grand opera tradition and he had no purpose in his achievement further than the brilliant stage effects. Rubinstein fused his identity with the atmosphere of polite salons of that day. Offenbach indulged the Gallic taste for piquant frivolity. Gold-mark Gold-mark cultivated an Orientalism which rested comfortably on a German foundation. Mahler attempted heights to which his genius was scarcely adequate. None wrote anything that could be recognized as essentially and purely Jewish. Mr. Peyser in "Musical America" characterizes Bloch's work as the finest modern chamber work heard in New York In the last five years and predicts a brilliant future for this man who Is still young, having been born in Geneva in 1880. Ho says of his own work: "Superficially my works are not Jewish at all. The learned Jews will no doubt reject them altogether. alto-gether. In fact, I expect the strongest opposition to my work to come irom the Jews, but I have tried to express the soul of the Jew as I feel it." MISS NETTIE WATSON HONORED.
