This article presents information related to music. When the performer Boston Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1881, its founder decided to spare no expense in making it as good as possible. Most of the violinists were secured in Vienna, while for his players of wood-wind instruments the founder went to France, which had long been famed for its flutists, clarinetists, oboeists, and bassoonists. Successive conductors came from Germany and Austria-Hungary. In view of the fact that these two countries have produced more first-class orchestral compositions than all other lands put together, it cannot, perhaps, be said that German music was unduly favored on programmes of this organization.
