7M. Breitner Sails.
9LUDOVIC BREITNER sailed yesterday for Europe on the Kaiser Wilhelm. No pianist ever visited America with less heralding than did M. Breitner. Of course, his European reputation was well known to the critics, but the public's interest in his coming had not been aroused. In spite of this drawback, seldom has an artist received more intelligent and thoughtful appreciation than did M. Breitner. His strong, well-balanced, wholesome art was easily recognized as superior to the extravagant interpretation affected by so many pianists nowadays. M. Breitner's playing is a union of rare gifts and a superb mastery of technic; he never displays his technical qualities to the detriment of the emotional or poetic.
11M. Breitner will play during the Paris Exposition a number of new works. This announcement will not be a surprise to musical people, for he has been the first to introduce many new compositions, and as a result has won the hearts of the younger generation of musicians. During his rest this summer M. Breitner will prepare himself for his important engagements in America in the autumn.
13Most of the pupils that M. Breitner leaves behind will look forward to his return with impatience, but a number will follow him to Paris.
15On the same steamer with M. Breitner, Ernest von Schuch returned to Europe, and also the husband of Madame Sembrich.
17Leonora Jackson's Success at Buffalo.
19SPECIAL interest centred in the playing of Miss Leonora Jackson, the violinist, who made her first appearance in Buffalo. She is a young woman, scarcely more than a girl, with a very winning presence and a charmingly modest and unaffected manner. In a simple white gown, her only ornament a diamond star, presumably the one presented to her by Queen Victoria after she had played at Windsor, she made a most attractive picture, and won the audience before she had played a note. Her first group of soli included the Chopin D flat Nocturne, arranged by Sarasate, a Humoresque by Tschaikowsky, Berceuse by Arensky and a Hungarian Dance by Brahms-Joachim. Miss Jackson has a tone that is sufficiently large and very lovely. Her intonation is always true, except occasionally in the harmonics; her phrasing is thoroughly artistic and intelligent, and she possesses both fine musical feeling and technical ability of high order. There is no doubt that she has entered upon a remarkable artistic career. She was encored after her first number, and played a beautiful Madrigale by Simonetti. Later she played the Airs Hongrois of Ernst, and in response to a most enthusiastic double encore played the "Ziegenweiseren" of Sarasate and afterward the Bach Air in G minor.—Buffalo Express, March 31, 1900.

126Obituary.
128S. Austen Pearce.
130IT is with great regret that this paper announces the sudden death last Sunday at the organ in the first Presbyterian Church in Jersey City of Dr. S. Austen Pearce, the organist. It was at the beginning of the morning service, and he complained of illness, and was taken into a side room by the sexton. Nothing was known of his illness at the time during the service, but Dr. W. A. Pyle was sent for and reached the church just as Dr. Pearce died. It was apoplecty. His body was removed to his residence, 41 West Thirty-fourth street, New York, and a brother took charge of it.
132Dr. Pearce, who was an Englishman, was one of the best equipped and thorough theoretical musicians and organists in this country. He was a graduate of Oxford University, and had received the degree of doctor of music. He was in his sixty-third year. In personal intercourse he was known as one of the most courteous and refined men of the profession, amiable and modest. Over twenty years ago he began to write for THE MUSICAL COURIER, and was for a long period associated with this paper.
134Ernesto Baldanza.
136Ernesto Baldanza, the tenor, who a decade ago sang leading roles with Adelina Patti, died recently in San Francisco, of acute bronchitis.
138Dufault's Spring Engagements.
140PAUL DUFUALT, the young Canadian tenor, has gained much prominence this season. He is a painstaking artist and deserves his success. As THE MUSICAL COURIER announced last week, Mr. Dufault has been re-engaged as the tenor soloist in the choir of Dr. Storrs' church in Brooklyn. On the 6th of April he sang at a performance of Stainer's "Crucifixion" at Flushing. His other engagements for the spring will include Catholic Club, New York city, April 21; Meriden, Conn. April 23; Worcester, Mass., April 25; Bridgeport, Conn., May 20.
142Miss Prehm Secures a Fine Choir Appointment.
144MISS H. B. PREHM, a pupil of F. X. Arens, has secured the position of soprano soloist in the choir of Christ Protestant Episcopal Church, corner of Harrison and Clinton streets, Brooklyn. Miss Prehm, formerly sang in the choir of the Presbyterian Church at Mount Vernon, N. Y. There happen to be two Christ Episcopal churches in Brooklyn. Miss Prehm's appointment is with the one in South Brooklyn, of which Robert A. Gaylor is the organist and choirmaster.
