Broadway at Ninth Street, New York MANY MUSIC EVENTS IN TWO BOROUGHS The Society of the Friends of Music at the first of this year's meetings, yesterday afternoon in the Ritz, enlisted the services of Ernest Bloch and Mme.

Povla Frijsh, the former to conduct the orchestra, and devoted the important part of the program to a hear- ing of Mr. Bloch's compositions. Mr. Bloch, it will be remembered, had a concert of many of his compositions in Carnegie Hall last spring. Yesterday, however, we received a much better impression of his music, probably because there was to be heard not so much that was new.

His orchestral compositions, "Hiver" and "Printemps," which were played in conjunction yesterday, were composed in 1904; they are well made, delightfully, orchestrated, and of sincere musical beauty. Mr. Bloch does not hesitate to reach out, even into the fature, for his ideas and methods of exhibiting them; but in doing 80 he does not lose touch with the glories of the past. Mme. Frijsh sang four songs settings by Bloch of the Poemes d'Autome, by Beatrix Rodes.

Mr. Bloch in his settings has been on the whole successful in depicting the emotional background of each and in writing a flexible declamatory tone-speech that is never unvocal. One wished at times that they were not so richly orchestral: one felt that the voice was but one of the many instruments at the conductor's command. Mme. Frijsh sang.

them with nice style and sincerity of expression, but was not in the best of voice. In addition. Mr. Bloch conducted the introduction to and a Persian Dance from Moussorgsky's opera "Khovantschina," and the Chansons Populatres, by the Liadow, former's while Mme. Frijsh sang Hopak, a song that is doing yoeman service this year.

Events at the" Metropolitan. A. Puccini- Verdi program was presented last. evening at the Metropoli- tan and the large and audience heard favorite from "La Boheme," "Mme. Butterfly," "Il Trovatore" and "The Masked Ball," with less familiar selections from "Don Carlos' and "Simone Boccanegra," interpreted by Mme.

Matzenauer, Rita Fornia, Ruth Miller, Flora Perini, Leonora Sparkes, Paul Althouse, Jose Mardones and Louis D'Angelo. There was even more than the usual clamor for encores, which were responded to with selections from other composers than on the regular program. Mme. Matzenauer received a special ovation and In addition to an aria from "Don Carlos" gave "Ah mon fils," from "Le Prophete," and "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice." from "Samson et Dalila." Paul Althouse was in splen1 did voice and sang "Recondite," from "Tosca." and also in the quartet from "Rigoletto." The contributions by the orchestra, which was directed by Papi, were from "Manon Lescaut," Vespri and "Forza del Destino." "L'Elisir d'Amore," with Caruso in a better comedy role than Canto in "Pagliacci," wad the Saturday matinee opera. The tenor invests his person with greater sartorial art than last season, but not even ho could exceed his art as a comedian, nor his voice as a singer.

There was the usual applause for his aria, "Una Furtiva Lagrima." Hempel, and Didur aided in making the performance notable. Papi conducted, as also the first performance this season of the old favorite, "Trovatore," which is to be given in the Academy of Music Saturday night with practically the same cast. Muzio, Matzenauer, De Luca and Rothier were stars. Kingston was popular as the Count. Jascha Heifetz gave his second Manhattan recital in Carnegie, Hall, Saturday afternoon.

The fame of this young violinist is already great, and Saturday afternoon not only every seat in the vast hall was occupied, but there were rows of standees and at least 200 on the stage. What a demonstration of enthusiasm was given Heifetz a demonstration that did not cease after his last number until the extinction of the lights sent the large audience home! His art was more appropriexhibited this time than at his ately first recital; for on his Saturday's program were more serious composttions. He began with the familiar major Sonata of Haendel, followed it with, the brilliant and. scintillating Third Concerto of Saint-Saens, reached violinistic heights with the Chaconne from Bach's partita for violin alone, then regaled his hearers with a group of shorter selections, including a Tschaikowsky Scherzo, a Wagner Romanze, a Wieniawski Poloniase and Suk's "Un Poco Triste." Bach Number Showed Supreme Command. In spite of the glory of the Haendel Sonata, played with a nobility and breadth of style admirable in itself and peculiarly fitting for the work's vital publication, and the violinistic joy of Saint-Saens' Concerto, Heifetz manifested the supreme command of his instrument in the Bach number.

The wonder of this composition has become a familiar sound to concert audiences, for always a violinist would publish his claim to greatness by playing it; but not in recent years has it received SO thrilling, SO glorious a reading as at Heifetz's hands. The majority of Bach's architectonie structure, the beauty of the cantilena, the classic nobility of its harmonies given to double-stops and ever implied when not actually proclaimed, were revealed in Heifetz's playing with sureness of technique, accuracy of intonation and. above all, with straightforward simplicity of utterance. Here, indeed, is the big reason why this young violinist outstrips all his contemporaries. He is ever content simply to publish the composer's ideas with the simplest means--namely, a faultless technique.

He relies upon a strict observance of the text, a sureness of bowing and finger work, a lovely and simple beauty of tone without the slightest attempt at tion. His ideas of style are summed up in the desire, and the fulfillment of that desire, to play a work in the way its composed dreamed. The violinist was ably assisted by the sympathy and sincerity of Andre Beenoist's accompanists. Two numbers constituted the program of the Symphony Society's concert in Aeolian Hall yesterday. Symphony No.

6, and Tschaikowski's the "Emperor" Concerto, by Beethoven, with Rudolph Ganz as soloist. The Symphony had a sincere reading. yet a conductor cannot give a performance of this work even restrained'y without getting dangerously near the line of sensationalism, so emotional is it. The Symphony was played with fervent play of color. The sugof light, in the "Allegro con grazio." gestion of a graceful appreach of spirits was unusually well brought out.

The last movement, the final glory of the Symphony, was superb. In biting, ng-1 gressive qualities of the instruments at times 88 great an impression was made also. Rudolph Ganz, through his grip of the "Emperor" Concerto, constituted a strong factor of the program. It is to Beethoven's everlasting credit that the built up a truly great effect for the piano in this number, when it might easily have slunk behind the orchestra. Mr.

Ganz contributed to its charm. His clarity, his beautiful singing-tone, poetry and his big handling of chords and outlines, made his work notable. Bianca del Vecchio's Recital. Bianca del Vecchio gave a piano recital last night in the Imperial, assisted by Adeke Manna, soprano, and Alfredo Salmaggi, tenor. The young pianist showed fluency and force, and her temperamental showing also was considerable.

She gave the sonata. Op. 53, by Beethoven; four lyric pieces by Grieg. and the Polonaise in major, by Liszt, for her first numbers, and gave brilliant and also pressive interpretations of each. In the Mascagni Intermezzo the pianist was reposeful, and showed a fine sense of rhythm.

the "Rigoletto" numIn ber she played with clear intonation charm. Solmaggi sang operatic airs well. and Miss Manna gave an from effectively. Mr. Gravure's Recital.

night in Aeolian Hall showed that master of song interpretation, whether pasisonate, sentimental, slyly humorous or dramatic, at his best. He was ably accompanied by Francis Moore. Perfectly rapport with his audience, Mr. Graveure sang a trying program with ease and seeming pleasure. In his program were German songs (in English), Trish songs, French songs and American-product songs.

Songs (by American women included Alice Barnett's lovely Rosalie Housman's "Taps," Fay Foster' delightful fantasie, and "Your Kiss," and Lucile Crews' "I Shall Not Care." Louis Gravure's recital Saturday MEANS PROSECUTION RESTS Concord, N. December 3-The prosecution in the trial of Gaston B. Means, charged with the murder of Mrs. Maude A.
