Die Deutsche Zeitung berichtet nochmals vom Besuch der Erzherzoge im Atelier Zerritsch, wo das Bruckner-Denkmal große Anerkennung fand (°).

The Los Angeles Times bringt auf S. 49 den Abdruck eines Aufsatzes, der sich mit "Programmmusik" beschäftigt:

SIGNIFICANCE OF RECENT COMPOSITIONS BY MODERN MUSICIANS.
     August Spanuth is responsible for the following thougthful, important and interesting exposition of the trend of musical expression which appeared recently in Musical America, under the caption "The End of Programme Music:"

There are others, and we find them even among Wagner's most glowing admirers.
     "There is, for instance, Anton Bruckner. Loving and admiring Wagner with as much ardor and reverence as human nature is capable of he and others have continued to write symphonies and other specimens of absolute music. Yes, there are those who have had the impudence to actually compose chamber music, or even sonatas for the piano, and all this in spite of the suggestion that after the ninth symphony instrumental music, pure and sinple, was doomed!
