41DIPPEL SONG RECITAL.
43ANDREAS DIPPEL, the principal German tenor of the Grau Opera Company, gave a song recital last Tuesday (February 18) afternoon in the hall of the New York College of Music, of which Alexander Lambert is director. The singer was in excellent voice and sang throughout the afternoon with sincerity and marked musical feeling. The hall was crowded to the doors, and Mr. Dippel received great applause and was compelled to add no less than five encores. The program is appended:

67As extras, Mr. Dippel repeated "Heimliche Grüsse," by von Fielitz; "Jägerlied," by Wolf; "Du bist wie eine Blume," by Edna Park, and "Ouvre Tes Yeux Bleus," by Massenet, and the encore was another song by Hugo Wolf. A number of the songs upon the program were unfamiliar to the audience, and the fact that Mr. Dippel was obliged to repeat them is proof that he made them interesting.
69Mr. Segal played a sympathetic violin obligato to the Edna Park song. Miss Mercedes O'Leary, a professional pupil of Mr. Lambert, played the piano accompaniments in a way that called forth warm praise for her art and her schooling.
71A New Basso.
73BURT ABBY is a young man with a phenomenal basso voice, from whom the world is bound to hear something within the next few years. Mr. Abby is a resident of Brooklyn and a member of the New York Apollo Club. The teacher who discovered the voice and trained it is Mme. Helene Maigille, of Carnegie Hall. Although young Abby has studied only one year with Madame Maigille, his singing has already attracted attention. His ringing F, heard at a private recital recently, caused his discriminating friends to predict that he will amount to something if he will only continue to study faithfully.
75Debut of a Blind Violinist.
77BERLIN, February 22, 1902.
79EDWIN GRASSE, of New York, who is a protégé, though not a pupil, of Joachim, the violinist, made his début to-night at the Singakademie, with the Philharmonic Orchestra. His performance upon the violin was marked with much skill and beauty of expression, and the critics, without regard to the fact that Grasse, who is only seventeen years old, is blind, considered his work excellent. —Tribune.
81Carlo Kahrssen.
83ONE of the most successful of the younger teachers of the piano in New York is Carlo Kahrssen, whose studio is at 450 Manhattan avenue.
85Mr. Kahrssen began his musical education at the age of five, under the direction of his father, who was the leader of an orchestra in Göttingen, Germany, for over fifty years. At the age of eight he distinguished himself in his father's orchestra, and after special arrangements began to study with Rubinstein. At the death of his father in 1888 he gave up his musical studies and entered the state gymnasium of the city of Göttingen, where he graduated after having mastered German, French and English, and become an accomplished scholar in Latin and Greek. At the death of his mother he came to America and studied with Xaver Scharwenka. Two years ago he returned to Europe and played in the principal cities in Germany. His tour was cut short, however, on account of trouble with the military authorities, and he was obliged to return to America.
87Since then he has been in this city, where his ability is rapidly winning him recognition.
89Kreisler in Boston.
91THE music critic of the Boston Globe, after Kreisler's fourth violin recital, and then with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the same week there, wrote: "Kreisler's wonderful command of the violin and his thorough musicianship have been shown by his frequent recitals in this city, and he has gained a reputation here as one of the foremost in his chosen profession; an artist whose repertory is astonishingly large, and an interpreter who subordinates the performer so as to reveal the ideas of the composer. It is seldom that any artist appears so often in our city, six recitals last year, besides an orchestral appearance; four recitals thus far this winter and one concert with the orchestra, during the so-called musical season, and the continued favor with which Kreisler is received plainly indicates that his ability is of the highest order, and his performances appeal successfully to a very large clientele. He evidently has mastered all styles of violin music, and in each he is equally satisfactory; hence his success, which is but a proper recognition of skill of an unusual order."
93THE CARL LENTEN CONCERTS.
95WILLIAM C. CARL will give a series of free Lenten organ concerts in the First Presbyterian Church, Fifth avenue and Twelfth street, on the Tuesday evenings of March, beginning next week, Tuesday, March 4, at 8:15 o'clock. At the first recital Mme. Lisa Delhaze Wickes will play the Mozart D minor Piano Concerto, with the orchestral parts supplied on the organ, and Alfred Donaldson Wickes, violinist, will also appear. The concerts will be free to the public, and no tickets issued. Mr. Carl has returned from his Southern tour and is already busy arranging dates for the spring concerts. On March 14 he will inaugurate a new organ in Newark, Ohio, and on May 15 will play a recital before the Connecticut State Music Teachers' Association in New Haven. The fifth students' recital of the Guilmant Organ School was held last week, and another is already announced for the early part of March. The winter term has enlisted a large enrollment of students, and the school is having a remarkably successful season.
