80this fact, but I took the pains to verify it by a search of the records of the trustees of the college, and I found there no record of any musical degree being granted to any teacher here or, in fact, to anyone else.
81And it seems to me that the records of the college would be the final resort in such a matter.
82But the main point is that this absurd statement that musical degrees were granted by the college to its own teachers be corrected, as you doubtless will be glad to do on being apprised of the facts of the case.
83Respectfully yours, W. FRANCIS GATES.
84There are some musicians traveling about with the degree of Doctor of Music, said to have been granted by the Toledo University. This may be Toledo, Spain, where a great seat of learning exists according to Spanish ideas, but as far as we remember the degree was represented as originating at Toledo, Ia.
86Bloomfield Zeisler.
87THAT admirable and truly wonderful woman pianist, Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler, has been adding enormously to her series of American triumphs in San Francisco. Not only has Zeisler won her full meed of artistic honor and glory in the City of the Golden Gate, but she has also been feted socially to a large extent, and is described by one writer as being found in her own apartment a frail morsel of tense, sensitive genius planted in the midst of a huge flower garden, the piled up tributes of her artistic admirers. The San Francisco press has come forward with intelligence and loud enthusiasm in Zeisler's praise. The critiques are all lengthy and exhaustive, impossible to reprint in full here, but we give below a few excerpts from the leading papers:
88In all the great essentials in piano playing Mme. Zeisler will satisfy the most exacting connoisseur. Her technic is perfect, her tone is deliciously sweet and sympathetic, and she has with an amount of strength and virile power simply amazing for a performer of such apparently delicate physique. The program was evidently arranged with the object of showing Mme. Zeisler's complete mastery of many different schools of piano playing.—San Francisco Examiner, November 11.
89"Did you ever hear such playing!" "Isn't it wonderful!" These and similar ejaculations could be heard as the audience went home on Tuesday night after listening to Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler at the Metropolitan Temple. Mme. Zeisler was known here as a resident of Chicago, who had studied in Vienna with Leschetizky, Paderewski's master. As she stepped upon a San Francisco platform for the first time the audience greeted her warmly.
90It was not till she had played that the audience realized what a genius was among them.—San Francisco Call, November 12.
91The first of Mme. Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler's piano recitals in this city was given last evening at Metropolitan Hall to a delighted audience. Highly as the gifted performer has been spoken of before her return from her European tour, everything said of her would seem to have been fully justified. Those who were fortunate enough to be included among the number of her auditors last evening had the best reason to congratulate themselves. If now that the lady has given an example of her unusual ability, her audiences shall not hereafter be more in proportion to the merit of the performances the fact will be ground for both wonder and regret.
92Mme. Zeisler has been compared to Paderewski as a performer, and she made it evident last evening that this had not been done without reason.—San Francisco Post, November 11.
93Mme. Bloomfield Zeisler's second piano recital took place yesterday afternoon at Metropolitan Temple in the presence of an audience small in numbers, but enthusiastic in appreciation of the fair pianist. A second hearing confirms the judgment of all competent critics as to Mme. Zeisler's truly remarkable powers; in fact, the opinion is freely expressed in musical circles that she is unexcelled, even by the great Paderewski.—San Francisco Examiner, November 11.
94The enthusiasm of the musical people has gone as high as it did over Paderewski, even if the general public have been slow to understand that such a great artist is among us.—San Francisco Chronicle, November 13.
95The artist possesses in a marked degree the faculty of painting a musical picture so that not an idea is lost or the light and shadow blurred by a single false stroke.—San Francisco Call, November 15.
96Mme. Zeisler's second piano recital, given yesterday afternoon, deepened the conviction with which her first audience of musicians left Metropolitan Hall on Tuesday evening—that no other woman and very few men who have played here have shown her degree of mastery of a comparatively unresponsive instrument. She is a great artist, and one feels like lecturing to the numbers of music loving people who are missing the opportunity to hear her.—San Francisco Chronicle, November 13.
97Here are some criticisms of Mme. Zeisler's playing, gathered from prominent musicians on the evening of her first recital:
98Louis Lisser—She is the best lady pianist I have ever heard, not even excepting Mme. Essipoff.
99Sigmund Beel—The most musical piano playing we have had in this city for many years.
100Alois F. Lejeal—My high expectations of Mme. Zeisler have been more than realized. Her technic is faultless, her touch and tone sympathetic, and her conception of the music would satisfy the most exacting connoisseur.
101S. G. Fleishman—Mme. Zeisler stands for all that is good and true in music. She is the greatest pianist of the age.
102R. A. Lucchesi—She is the feminine Paderewski.—San Francisco Examiner, November 15.
103The above record the well deserved triumphs of one of the greatest pianists of her age.
