 THE STORY OF THE BOHEMIANS 
 
 'Tis written: "In the Beginning was the Word." 
 
 Here am I balked: who now can help afford? 
 
 The WORD? — impossible so high to rate it; 
 
 And otherwise must I translate it. 
 
 If by the Spirit I am truly taught. 
 
 Then thus : "In the Beginning was the THOUGHT," 
 
 This first line let me weigh completely. 
 
 Lest iriy im,patient pen proceed too fieetly. 
 
 Is it the THOUGHT which works, creates, vndeed? 
 
 "In the Begimrdng was the POWER," I read. 
 
 Yet, as I write, a warning is suggested 
 
 That I the sense may not have fairly tested. 
 
 The Spirit aads me: now I see the light I 
 
 "In the beginning was the ACT," I write. 
 
 - — Goethe, "Faust," Scene III, 
 
 HE problem which vexed the mind of Fav^t, 
 pondering the philosophy formulated at the 
 outset of The Gospel according to St. John, is 
 solved so far as the genesis of The Bohemians 
 is concerned by an acceptance of all the theories 
 which Goethe's philosopher propounded. "In 
 the Beginning was Rafael Joseffy." — Thus we 
 write. He was at once Word, Thought, Power and Deed. It was 
 Joseffy who conceived the Club, Joseffy who suggested it to his 
 friends, Joseffy who had the puissant force to mould them into 
 agents of his will and thus called The Bohemians into being — • 
 called the Club into being and at once planted it in fruitful 
 ground. It was the adoption of his spirit of goodfellowship, 
 helpfulness, unselfish aims, mutual respect among artists, hatred 
 of petty jealousy and devotion to manly social and artistic ideals 
 which gave the Club its firm foundation. It has been by keep- 
 ing the salient and admirable traits of his character in mind as 
 a guide that the Club has achieved a growth, stability and use- 
 fulness which make it unique among organizations of its kind. It 
 will be by keeping in the path illuminated by his character as 
 man and musician that The Bohemians shall remain the active and 
 forceful factor which it now is iii the artistic life of New York and 
 the world of music at large. 
 
Let us therefore for a moment bring back the man to our 
 mental vision. The most striking and amiable trait in the char- 
 acter of Rafael Joseffy was his lack of envy or jealousy and his 
 unfailing courtesy and kindness towards , his colleagues. And 
 this no less in the heyday of his popularity as a virtuoso than 
 after his retirement from the concert-stage in the plentitude of 
 his powers and the zenith of his fame. During the decade from 
 1880 to 1890 he had no real rival among the pianists who gave 
 concerts in New York, either resident or visiting. His popularity 
 burned ever with a steady and lambent flame, no matter how 
 much enthusiasm was kindled by newcomers. All of these he met 
 in a spirit of unselfish, unenvious, ungrudging sympathy. For 
 every one he had a prompt and cordial greeting. When a new 
 candidate for public favor appeared he was always first in the 
 artists' room to offer his felicitations and wishes for success. To 
 every one he brought a message of cheer and encouragement. It 
 sometimes happened that he met with a rebuff from a boor or an 
 eccentric; but the treatment never awakened resentment in his 
 soul. Down to the day of his death he continued to admire every- 
 thing admirable in visiting virtuosos and maintained unsullied his 
 amiable attitude towards all his confreres. 
 
 It was at a social gathering which illustrated this trait in« 
 Joseffy's character that The Bohemians was conceived. He sat 
 with some friends at Liichow's to speed a parting guest as he had 
 welcomed his coming. Moriz Rosenthal had completed a concert- 
 tour of the United States and was about to return to his Euro- 
 pean home,. Amongst those who had gathered with Joseffy to bid 
 farewell to the distinguished artist were Rubin Goldmark, August 
 Fraemcke, Hugo Grunwald and Sigmund Herzog. Familiar 
 names these, for they appear on every page of Bohemian history 
 written in word and deed from that day to this. There had been 
 clubs of musicians in New York before, there were such clubs then, 
 but they all lacked the spark of vitality. Joseffy proposed a new 
 organization and outlined what should be the scope, the aims and 
 the means of its activities ; goodfellowship, camaraderie were to be 
 promoted, the too common feelings of envy and jealousy frowned 
 on, the art and its practitioners, lofty and lowly, encouraged. 
 The occasion of the meeting fixes its date as a day in April, 1907. 
 
 JosefFy's suggestion was accepted by the coterie and acted on 
 at the earliest practicable moment and a formal organization 
 effected at a meeting in the restaurant at the Terrace Garden, 
 then a familiar rendezvous for musicians. About 24 men had 
 answered the call of Mr. Joseffy and his associates and these 
 became the original members of the Club. There was naturally 
 a meeting of minds as to who should be the first president of the 
 Club — a meeting of all minds but one ; but that was Joseffy's and 
 it outweighed all the others. Instead of Rafael Joseffy, Rubin 
 
Goldmark was chosen for the post of executive. Not only then 
 but ever after Joseffy put aside the repeatedly offered crown. It 
 was his wish that he be permitted to work for the welfare of the 
 organization in an humble and inconspicuous capacity, and in this 
 he was so determined that when, in later years, the Club, con- 
 scious of its great obligation to him, sought to express it by 
 giving him a purely honorary title, he steadfastly refused. 
 "While deeply appreciating your thoughtfulness in recommend- 
 ing me as honorary president of our club, I must gratefully and 
 earnestly decline this distinction," he wrote to the Board of Gov- 
 ernors on May 3, 1913. 
 
 Meanwhile, the founders of the Club, feeling that they were 
 building on a firm foundation organized themselves into an incor- 
 poration under the laws of the State of New York. The certifi- 
 cate of incorporation is dated May 26, 1908, and bears the 
 signatures of Rubin Goldmark, Rafael Joseffy, Bruno Oscar 
 Klein, August Fraemcke, Hugo Grunwald, Paolo Gallico and Sig- 
 mund Herzog ; it fixes the official name of the organization as 
 "The Bohemians (New York Musicians' Club)" and announces 
 its purpose to be "To promote social intercourse among its mem- 
 bers, to further the cause of music and the interests of musi- 
 cians" — a sententious definition which leaves a wide latitude of 
 means open to the club's officials. How social intercourse among 
 its members has been cultivated and the interest of the art and 
 its practitioners promoted will appear presently in this recital. 
 The annual meeting day was fixed on the first Monday in May 
 and the directors named to serve until the first annual meeting 
 were Rubin Goldmark, Rafael Joseffy, Franz Kneisel, Bruno 
 Oscar Klein, August Fraemcke, Hugo Grunwald, William H. 
 Barber, Arthur Claassen, Paolo Gallico, Sigmund Herzog, Henry 
 Holden Huss, Alexander Lambert, Frederic Mariner and Harry 
 Schreyer. 
 
 The fact was recognized from the beginning that the Club 
 might be advanced in all its aims by admitting non-professionals 
 into membership and when a constitution was adopted and by- 
 laws for the Club's regulation, three classes of membership wer6 
 provided for, viz. : Active, composed exclusively of professional 
 musicians residing in New York City or within a radius of 50 
 miles; Associates, defined as "persons outside the musical pro- 
 fession who are interested in music" and Non-Resident Active, 
 professional musicians living without the fifty miles limit. 
 Eligibility for office was restricted to active members, a feature 
 of administration which has continued ever since. A total mem- 
 bership of 50 was decided upon, but this number has been gradu- 
 ally extended until it is now 400 exclusive of the Non-resident 
 active members whose number is optional with the Board of 
 Governors ; there is a restriction on the number of associates 
 
 9 
 
which is never to extend beyond one-third of the total member- 
 ship. The Club has thus from the beginning been essentially a 
 club of musicians, its acts and deeds the^ acts and deeds of musi- 
 cians, the embodiment of the wishes of its founder, JosefFy. 
 
 Rubin Goldmark was the first president of the Club and 
 remained in that office for three years, after which he yielded it 
 into the hands of Franz Kneisel, whose tenure of service, like that 
 of Messrs. Fraemcke, Goldmark, Grunwald and Herzog has 
 endured from the beginning till today, and whose acts seem to 
 have been continuously acclaimed by their fellow Bohemians in 
 the spirit if not the words of Goethe's archangels : 
 Und alle ihre Jiohen Werke 
 Sind herrlich wie am ersten Tag." 
 
 Mr. JosefFy consented to serve as vice-president for two years 
 (from 1907 to 1909) and as a member of the Board of Governors 
 for two more — 1910-1912. When Mr. Kneisel became actively 
 interested in the Club and was made its president, Mr. Gold- 
 mark became one of its vice-presidents. Ever since then on every 
 public or semi-public occasion he has been the Club's voice and 
 oracle, the laudator of its guest, the spokesman for its president 
 who, like Moltke, is famous among other things for his ability to 
 keep silent in seven languages, if not more. Since it is Mr. Gold- 
 mark who is to be honored on the occasion for which these words 
 are written it may fitly be said of him that for fourteen years the 
 hearts of the Bohemians have kept time with the tune of his voice 
 and that his speech has been the image of their actions — to use 
 the phrase of an ancient author to name whom might seem pedan- 
 tic. It was this "old man eloquent" who, on the occasion of the 
 Club's celebration of its tenth anniversary, paid tribute to its 
 president whose "cool head and warm heart, unfailing tact and 
 gently guiding hand" had been of prime influence in the affairs 
 of The Bohemians ; to Mr. Fraemcke who- as Secretary had been 
 a "tower of strength in his quiet, unobtrusive way ;" to Mr. Grun- 
 wald, whose incumbency of the office of Treasurer for a decade 
 spoke well for the financial stability of the Club "as well as for 
 the high character of the incumbent ;" to Mr. Herzog as a man 
 with "a veritable genius for management," a "veritable Atlas who 
 has borne our Bohemian world upon his shoulders," but who, un- 
 like his prototype never staggered under his burden but became 
 "more buoyant and energetic with each added task." In more 
 ways than one he has been the physical embodiment of Joseffy's 
 spirit. 
 
 At first the monthly meetings of the Club were held at the 
 call of the officers, but their success led to the establishment of a 
 regular monthly meeting day — the first Monday in the calendar. 
 The rule has been followed ever since. At all the meetings there 
 
 10 
 
has been music and the character of the programmes is an indi- 
 cation of how one of the purposes of the founders, to promote 
 the interests of musicians, has been exemplified. Something about 
 individual aifairs shall be said presently and a glimpse of the 
 Club's activities for fourteen years may be made possible by a 
 presentation of the programmes in condensed form. So far as 
 the outward history of the Club is concerned it need only be 
 added that changes made from time to time in the fundamental 
 law of The Bohemians have extended the number of members from 
 an original thirty-two, reached at the end of the first season, to 
 four hundred. That is the present limit. 
 
 In the first membership list of The Bohemians there were only 
 four Associate, that is non-professional members, who' were chosen 
 from among Mr. Joseffy's most intimate personal friends, and 
 were also well-known lovers and patrons of music. They were: 
 Dr. George W. Jacoby, Alfred Seligman, Charles T. Steinway and 
 Maurice M. Stemberger. The number long ago reached the limit 
 allowed by the fundamental law of the Club as has also the active 
 list. The benefits derived from the association of professionals 
 and non-professionals have been ma.ny, and there can scarcely be 
 any doubt but that the success of The Bohemians is due largely 
 to the associate element in its membersbiTJ, notwithstanding (per- 
 haps because of) the fact that the administration of the Club's 
 aifairs has been left exclusively in the hands of the professional 
 class. It knows best its needs and the laymen know best how to 
 help to their attainment. This fact had admirable illustration when 
 two years ago it was found desirable to change the regular meet- 
 ing place of the organization. For more than a decade that meet- 
 ing place was Liichow's Eestaurant where the Club had its incep- 
 tion. When a new home became a wish on the part of the Club's 
 ofl5cers and members two associate members came to the rescue. 
 These were Dr. F. Morris Class and Mr. Frances Rogers, through 
 whose intercession The Bohemians were given the courtesy of 
 rooms in the Harvard Club, of which Dr. Class and Mr. Rogers 
 are members, for its regular meetings and receptions. In the 
 rooms of the house of the college men it has been gratefully con- 
 tented and happy ever since.

II 
 SOCIAL AND ARTISTIC ACTIVITIES 
 
 HOUGH the social affairs of The Bohemians 
 have compassed the gamut from an informal 
 "Smoker" for its members to some of the most 
 elaborate and imposing banquets ever given in 
 the city, and from a cabaret entert.ainment in 
 which all care was cast to the winds and cap 
 and bells ruled the hour to operatic representa- 
 tions and chamber concerts of the highest order, there have been 
 few entertainments in which a serious artistic purpose was not 
 pursued. Much ado is made now-a-days by public concert-givers 
 when a composition by an American is performed, or when a classi- 
 cal work outside the conventional lists is given a first performance. 
 Yet incidents of this nature have been so common as almost 
 to become the rule of the meetings of The Bohemians. At 
 the very first "Evening with Music" (typical of what follows 
 every monthly business meeting) on January 18, 1908, Bruno 
 Oscar Klein, with the help of his son, Karl Klein, played an orig- 
 inal sonata for pianoforte and violin, and Rafael Joseffy, Ferdi- 
 nand von Inten and August Fraemcke played Bach's Concerto for 
 three Claviers with an accompaniment by a string band. Here 
 was already manifested the spirit of the Club which seeks to wel- 
 come and encourage the new and conserve the admirable old — 
 the helpful co-operation of romantic and classic tendencies. With 
 a firm anchorage ground in the classics the Club is ever ready to 
 spread sail and make for any port which offers hospitable waters 
 and reassuring skies to honest artistic endeavor. On the second 
 evening Henry Holden Huss was permitted to share the com- 
 panionship of Mozart and Beethoven and on the third Arthur 
 Whiting illustrated the idioms of the painoforte and its fore- 
 runners by playing his own "Suite Modeme" on a concert grand 
 pianoforte, and pieces bj' Scarlatti, Bach and Mozart on the in- 
 strument which was their medium of communion with the Muses. 
 When Mr. Kneisel and his excellent confreres began their min- 
 istrations it was with that fine flowering of Schumann's genius, 
 the Quartet Op. 4<1, No. 3, and a sober mien rested upon most 
 of the doings of the year from which there was relaxation of a 
 delightful kind when in the third season the members of the Club 
 and their guests discovered that two periwigged classics were also 
 wont occasionally to put on an antic disposition — Mozart's ex- 
 quisitely ingenious bit of humor "Die Dorfmusikanten" aiid Jo- 
 hann Sebastian Bach's "Coffee Cantata" were performed, the 
 first at a Smoker, the second at a formal function. Whether or 
 not the great Leipsic cantor, who wrote church cantatas as indus- 
 
 12 
 
triously as the preacher at St. Thomas Church composed ser- 
 mons, had ever before been presented to New Yorkers as a fun- 
 maker we do not know; but the presentation of a novelty 175 
 years old by the master who sums up in his music pretty much all 
 that was and all that is which is meritorious in music deserves 
 record even in so hurried a chronicle as this. So do the per- 
 formances of tFe short operas, "The Lovers' Quarrel," Mozart's 
 "Impressario," Offenbach's "Le Mariage aux Lanternes'' and 
 Pergolesi's "La Serva Padrone" (The Maid Mistress). 
 
 These and other inusical entertainments of moment were not 
 independent affairs, but always incidental to the reception of dis- 
 tinguished guests. There were also concerts at which members of 
 the Club were the composers of all the music performed, at which 
 music illustrative of national traits was given a hearing under 
 circumstances calculated to inv-ite special attention to its char- 
 acteristics, and concerts designed to exploit the fields in which 
 the performers were specializing. The larger affairs, those desig- 
 nated as "dinners," were graced by the presence of ladies and on 
 these the attendance ran high into the hundreds. A list of the 
 meetings to which a special character attached may well precede 
 some account of a few of their salient and unique features :

 Dinner to Rubin Goldmark, Ladies' Evening, Hotel 
 Biltraore, December 26, 1921. 
 One dinner, an affair which promised to eclipse all previous 
 achievements of the kind, has been omitted from the list for the 
 reason that it was a case in which hospitality sat without glad- 
 ness — the hosts were multitudinous but the chair of the guest 
 of honor was empty. He who should have sat in it was Enrico 
 Caruso. The date was December 26, 1920. It was a Sunday. 
 On the Friday evening previous the great tenor had enacted his 
 part in Halevy's "La Juive" at the Metropolitan Opera House. 
 It was his last public performance. Oh the afternoon of the day 
 which he and his hosts had looked forward to with gladness, word 
 was received by the Committee of Arrangements that he had been 
 taken ill and could not attend the banquet. There was no time 
 to postpone the affair and The Bohemians sat down with such 
 appetite as they had but without their guest. Once before sad- 
 ness had supplanted the usual lightheartedness of a Bohemian 
 meeting; but then it was a keener grief because it became a more 
 personal loss. Rafael Joseffy died on June 25, 1915. It was 
 in midsummer when the activities of the Bohemians were sus- 
 pended, its membership largely absent from the city. Excerpts 
 from the minutes of the Club tell of what happened as soon as the 
 Club resumed its activities: 
 
 October 11, 1915, first regular meeting of the season: "Vice- 
 president Goldmark spoke a few words in memory of the late 
 Rafael Joseffy, and requested all those present to rise, thus to 
 honor the departed master." 
 
 November 1, 1915, second regular meeting: "It was regu- 
 larly moved and seconded' to have a brief musical programme on 
 the first Monday in December in honor of the memory of the 
 late Rafael Joseffy." 
 
 December 5, 1915 : "A musical programme was rendered in 
 honor of the memory of the late Rafael Joseffy, and in consid- 
 eration of the solemn character of the occa,sion. Vice-president 
 
 15 
 
Goldmark's proposal to defer the reading of the minutes of the 
 previous meeting and argument of pending business until the next 
 month's meeting was unanimously accepted." 
 
 The programme of the Memorial Concert may be found in its 
 proper place in this chronicle. 
 
 It is impracticable to review the notable features of all the 
 entertainments which have been listed; but there are some which 
 are likely to stand out prominently in the annals of music in New 
 York as they do in the memories of those who were fortunate 
 enough to participate in them. Such, for instance, was the din- 
 ner in honor of Mr. Paderewski, at which the distinguished guest 
 gave utterance to words which not only published the feelings and 
 sentiments of a great and sincere artist, but sounded like a procla- 
 mation of the ideals which the founder of The Bohemians had pro- 
 claimed and followed Vhen he called the Club into existence. Re- 
 sponding to the toast proposed by Mr. Goldmark, Mr. Paderewski 
 disclaimed a feeling to which it was customary on such occasions 
 to give expression. Instead of being falsely modest he was sin- 
 cerely humble in the consciousness of being the recipient of privi- 
 leges beyond his deserts and the duty to guard jealously the high 
 character, the noble purpose and the dignity of his profession. 
 He then said: 
 
 "I wiU confess to you that I am a hard, persistent worker, one 
 who has a deep respect for the masters and who stands with 
 humility before God and art. The public favor given me sustains 
 me through all the trials and struggles of an artist's career. The 
 appreciation shown me often has been a great solace to me, and 
 if I have been enabled to maintain myself and my position as a 
 musician, I owe it largely to the generous support given me by 
 my fellow musicians. You can be assured that nothing in all my 
 career is cherished by me more than the regard which I have re- 
 ceived from my fellow artists, and from the musicians and teachers 
 wherever I have been. Success, my friends, does not last. Public 
 fa,vor is easily lost, soon forgotten. The only thing that does last 
 with a man, especially one in public life, is the respect which he 
 has gained of his peers." 
 
 There was oratory of a high order by Oswald G. Villard, Robert 
 Underwood Johnson, followed by diversions in lighter vein. 
 Among these was a musical greeting to the guest sung by the 
 assemblage^ to orchestral accompaniment and a melody from one 
 of Mr. Paderewski's compositions (Chant du Voyageur"). In 
 the lines, written by Mr. H. E. Krehbiel, Mr. Paderewski was 
 celebrated as poet, musician, seer, prophet, patriot and comrade. 
 The Bohemians, with a versatility suggestive of an operatic 
 chorus dropping into English, Italian, Polish and German in the 
 refrain which followed each stanza, thus: 
 
 16 
 
Salve illustre 
 
 Genio canoro, 
 
 Cui tutti in coro 
 Lieti innegiam. 
 
 Witaj nam, witaj nam 
 
 Zsarca calego, 
 
 Na zdrowie wypijem 
 Do dua samego. 
 
 Hoch, Paderewski ! 
 
 Laut lass es erklingen, 
 
 Lasst Glaser zerspringen 
 Dem Kiinstler zu Ehr. 
 
 There was a similar demand upon linguistic versatility at the 
 dinner to Madame Sembrich, when, after six j'oung ladies, pupils 
 of the guest of the evening, had sung two infinite canons, or 
 rounds, one in English and one in Italian which on simultaneous 
 repetition were found to dovetail into each other though one was 
 in triple time the other is quadruple, the entire company joined 
 in the melee as a third chorus in English, Italian, German, French, 
 Polish and Russian acclaims. Other features of the evening which 
 spoke loudly of the resources and enterprise of the Committee of 
 Arrangements were a series of stereopticon portraits of Madame 
 Sembrich depicting her from her 14th year up to the zenith of 
 her career asi an artist, the singing of national Polish songs and 
 the dancing of national Polish dances by the company. There 
 were speeches at this dinner also, tributes to the artist-guest by 
 Mr. Goldmark, William J. Henderson and Henry T. Finck, and 
 music by Sascha Jacobsen, but in all things was reflected the 
 spirit of merriment and gayety as was befitting the happy dis- 
 position of the guest and her art. Other occasions were marked 
 by good-natured fun, especially on the "Cabaret" evenings and 
 the more or less informal smokers. For the entertainment of Mr. 
 Arthur Nikisch, on his brief visit to America, Mr. Edwin F. 
 Goldman conducted a parody of the overture to "Tannhauser" 
 with such successful imitation of Mr. Nikisch's manner that the 
 great conductor was convulsed with lausrhter, and enthusiasti- 
 cally embraced his mimic. Chastisement and reproof were never 
 the purpose of the skits in which Hy Mayer, Albert Reiss, and 
 Charles T. Safford and others indulged ; only good-natured rail- 
 lery.

Ill 
 THE MUSICIANS' FOUNDATION 
 
 HE good done by The Bohemians along two 
 Knes of endeavor contemplated in the organiza- 
 tion of the Club — in the promotion of good- 
 fellowship among members of the musical pro- 
 fession and the encouragement of them in the 
 
 pursuit of artistic ideals — has been set forth in 
 
 the preceding chapters of this little book. There remains to be 
 told the story of a purely philanthropic enterprise in which is em- 
 bodied a spirit which imbued the founders from the beginning, but 
 which did not come into full fruition until the Club had completed 
 five, years of existence. By that time The Bohemians were so 
 firmly footed that a desire found expression among its members 
 for a permanent home. There were many men of wealth among 
 the Associate Members, and it would have been a comparatively 
 easy matter to raise money for the purpose of building or leasing 
 a clubhouse. The conviction was general that The Bohemians 
 had come to stay. But the idea had taken root amongst its lead- 
 ers that a better use could be made of the Club's ability to draw 
 on its potential capital, represented by the devotion of its friends 
 and members, than to apply it to the temporal comfort of the 
 members at their periodical meetings. This better use was the 
 amelioration of the condition of professional musicia,ns who had 
 been overtaken by misfortune. Practical expression was given to 
 the idea when contributions for the purpose came to be placed in 
 the hands of the officers of the Club for distribution. So it was 
 decided to organize a kind of 8,uxiliary of the Club for this ex- 
 press purpose, and on May 8, 1914, the certificate of incorpora- 
 tion of "The Musicians' Foundation, Established by The Bohe- 
 mians (New York Musicians' Club)" was filed in the records of 
 New York County. The certificate was signed by Frank Dam- 
 rosch, August Fraemcke, Rubin Goldmark, Hugo Grunwald, Sig- 
 mund Herzog, Ferdinand von Inten and Franz Kneisel, and these 
 gentlemen, together with Rudolph Schirmer and Maurice M. 
 Stemberger, were designated as Directors to serve till the first 
 annual meeting in April, 1915. With the exception of Mr. 
 Schirmer and Mr. von Inten, deceased (replaced by Mr. George 
 Hamlin and Mr. Edwin T. Rice), they have been identified with 
 the administration of the affairs of the organization ever since. 
 
 The particular object of The Musicians' Fund as set forth in 
 the certificate of incorporation is : 
 
 18 
 
"To foster the interests and advance the condition and social 
 welfare of professional musicians and to provide voluntary aid 
 and assistance to professional musicians and their families in case 
 of need, all in such manner as may be provided by the by-laws and 
 not inconsistent with the laws of the State of New York or the 
 United States of America." 
 
 At the outset it was the intention of the creators of the Foun- 
 dation to rely largely upon public concerts to provide the funds 
 which were to be applied to the purposes of the organization, and 
 on March 3, 1912, nearly two years before the incorporation was 
 effected, a concert was given for the purposes by the Kneisel 
 Quartet at the Hotel Astor, the programme of which was as fol- 
 lows: 
 
 1. Sonata for Violoncello Corelli 
 
 Willem Willeke, Sigmund Herzog at the Piano 
 
 2. PlANOFOKTE SoLOS : 
 
 (a) "Auf Fliigeln des Gesanges" Mendelssohn-Liszt 
 
 (b) Etude Liadow 
 
 (c) Reminiscences de "Robert le Diable. . .Meyerbeer-Liszt 
 
 Josef Lhevinne 
 
 3. Songs : 
 
 (a) "Die Lotosblume" Schumann 
 
 (fo) "Gretchen am Spinnrade" Schubert 
 
 (c) "Von Ewiger Liebe" Brahms 
 
 Mme. Margaret Matzenauer, Sigmund Herzog at the Piano 
 
 4. String Quartets : 
 
 (a) Andante con moto e Variazione Schubert 
 
 (From the Quartet in D minor) 
 
 (b) Italian Serenade Hugo Wolf 
 
 The Kneisel Quartet 
 
 5. Songs: 
 
 (a) "Gesang Weylas" Hugo Wolf 
 
 (6) "Liezesfeier" Weimgartner 
 
 (c) "Heimliche Aufforderung" Strauss 
 
 Mme. Matzenauer 
 
 6. Septet, Op. 20 Beethoven 
 
 The Kneisel Quartet and Leon Lerov, Benjamin Kohon, 
 Xaver Reiter, Ludwig Manoly 
 
 The financial success of the concert was gratifying in the ex- 
 treme and a year later, on April 28, 1913, a second concert was 
 given, this time in Aeolian Hall, at which the programme was 
 this: 
 
 1. Four Songs a capella 
 
 The Choir of the Musical Art Society, Frank Damrosch, Conductor 
 
 19 
 
2. Pianoforte Trio in A minor Tschaikowshy 
 
 Ernesto Console, Mischa Elman and Willem Willeke 
 
 3. Three Songs 
 
 Mme. Frieda Hempel, Max Liebling at the Piano 
 
 4. Violin Solos 
 
 Mischa Elman, Percy Kahn at the Piano 
 
 5. Part Songs, unaccompanied 
 
 The Musical Art Society 
 This concert marked a great stride forward in respect of pub- 
 lic attractiveness and scope, but there waS' a still greater stride in 
 the popular appeal when on March 27, 1916, a Gala Concert was 
 given in Carnegie Hall by Ignace Jan Paderewski, Pablo Casals 
 and the Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Josef 
 Stransky with this programme : 
 
 1. (a) Prelude, Chorale and Fugue Bach-Abert 
 
 (b) Overture, "Leonore, No. 3" Beethoven 
 
 The Philharmonic Orchestra 
 
 2. Concerto in D for Violoncello Haydn 
 
 Pablo Casals 
 
 3. Prelude, "Die Meistersinger" ' Wagjier 
 
 The Philharmonic Orchestra 
 
 4. Concerto in A minor Schumann 
 
 Ignace Jan Paderewski 
 
 This concert was the most sensational incident in the musical 
 season, and the public participation was evidenced by receipts 
 amounting to over $10,000. The war having intervened to direct 
 the charitable impulses of the people into other channels these 
 concerts were temporarily abandoned; but not the benevolent 
 impulses of The Bohemians and their friends. Voluntary con- 
 tributions of large dimensions had been made to the fund, and 
 they continued to flow in. At the end of five years the dona- 
 tions amounted to over $52,000, which from interests on invest- 
 ments was increased by over $9,000, and the disbursements ap- 
 plied to the assistance of needy musicians had reached the sum 
 of $7-161.75. The funds are in the hands of the Farmers' Loan 
 and Trust Company, as the oflicial custodian of The Foundation 
 and only the interest — ^but all of that, since there are no expenses 
 in connection with the administration of the fund — has been em- 
 ployed for the purposes of relief. In a report made in April, 
 1919, the statement appeared: 
 
 "Besides voluntary contributions from various sources the 
 Musicians' Foundation has received valuable accessions from the 
 proceeds of concerts given for its benefit. This source of income 
 of necessity ceased during the war, as it was deemed inadvisable 
 to deflect the public from important financial sacrifices which the 
 
 20 
 
demands of the war placed upon all patriotic citizens. It is in- 
 tended, however, now that peace is in sight, to use every means 
 to secure further financial support for the objects of the Musi- 
 cians' Foundation, which is greatly needed at this time, and will 
 be increasingly needed in the near future." 
 
 Thus ends the not strange, but certainly eventful history of 
 The Bohemians for the present.
