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 my impatient pen proceed too fleetly.

Is it the THOUGHT which works, creates, mdeedf

"In the Beginning was the POWER," I read.

Yet, as I write, a warning is suggested

That I the sense may not have fairly tested.

The Spirit aids me: now I see the light!

"In the beginning was the ACT" I write.

— Goethe, "Faust," Scene III,

HE problem which vexed the mind of Faust,
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 in 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 Lii chow'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 £4 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

8

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 thought fulness 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, Sigmuhd 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 were
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 Hire hohen Werke
Sind herrlich wie am ersten Tag."

Mr. Joseffy consented to serve as vice-president for twro 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 affairs 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
ah 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. Sternberger. 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 many, and there can, scarcely be
any doubt but that the success of The Bohemians is due largely
to the associate element in its membership, notwithstanding (per-
haps because of) the fact that the administration of the Club's
affairs 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 Restaurant where the Club had its incep-
tion. When a new home became a wish on the part of the Club's
officers 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 entertainment 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 Moderne" on a concert grand
pianoforte, and pieces by 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" and 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-
mohs, 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 the 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 musical 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 invite 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

Dinner to Rubin Goldmark, Ladies' Evening, Hotel

Biltmore, 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 h^d 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 pro gramme was rendered in
honor of the memory of the late Rafael Joseffy, and in consid-
eration of the solemn character of the occasion, 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 when 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 will 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 bv 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
favor 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 young 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 as 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 laughter, 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
lines 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 musicians 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 auxiliary 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.
Sternberger, 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:

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

2. Concerto in D for Violoncello Haydn

3. Prelude, "Die Meistersinger" Wagner

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-

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 official 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
