21The movements from the Beethoven Sonata were most musically played by Miss Austin and Mrs. Beardsley. The vocal numbers by Mr. Dempsey and Miss Brady were enjoyable, and both singers were cordially applauded. Mr. Dempsey reversed the order of his group, singing first the "Don Juan Serenade." The violin solos by Miss Austin added to the attractiveness of the program, and the recitation by Rose Maxwell, a little girl, fitted nicely into the musical features. Mrs. Beardsley played the piano accompaniments with musicianly skill. J. Charles Kunz, an advanced pupil of Mrs. Beardsley, who happened to be present, was invited to play several piano solos, and he responded with a Chopin Prelude and Waltz, revealing in both the fine training of the Beardsley studio.

39HENRY SCHRADIICK'S PUPILS.
41Henry Schradiick, the violinist, and one of the greatest violin teachers of the country, continues to illustrate by living in Brooklyn that the mountain occasionally "comes to Mahomet." Pupils from all over the United States come to Brooklyn to study with this distinguished teacher. Mr. Schradiick also has a big class in Philadelphia. Two Schradiick pupils played at a recital in Wissner Hall last Wednesday evening. Miss Lucille Billingsley played the violin part of the Mozart Sonata in E minor, for piano and violin, the piano being played by Miss Johanna Wolz. Thomas Ball Couper, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. William Couper, performed as violin solos "Regrets," by Vieuxtemps; Mazurka, by Mlynarski, and Mazurka (Obertass), by Wieniawski. Both pupils show the results of studying with a master.

83Mrs. Hadden-Alexander's Musicale.
85At the Powers-Alexander studios, Carnegie Hall, Mrs. A. Hadden-Alexander held an informal musicale at home on Saturday evening, February 15. Piano selections were given by the following pupils: Miss Frances Perley, Miss Lulu Walton, Miss Molly Palmer, Mrs. Grovenor Curran and Earl Scott. At the close of these numbers Charles Charters recited several monologues with excellent effect, and Mrs. Alexander delighted her friends by playing any number of good things, among them four MacDowell compositions, the Valse Etude, by Saint-Saëns, and Liszt's Rhapsodie No. 12.
87A pleasant feature of the evening was the presence of Mrs. Charles Graefe (née Katharine Dorn), of Sandusky, Ohio. Mrs. Graefe before her marriage studied for two years in Berlin with Julius Hey, the vocal teacher and friend of Wagner. Mrs. Graefe's contributions to the program were greatly enjoyed. They were three songs by Beethoven, two from "Egmont," the poems by Goethe, together with the "Freudvoll und Leidvoll." Later she gave Schumann's "Widmung," with the Liszt transcription of the song as accompaniment, played by Mrs. Alexander.
89The next students' musicale will be given Saturday evening, March 1.
91DR. HENRY G. HANCHETT.—The Interpretation Class which Dr. Hanchett is conducting at present engaged in an examination of Beethoven's Sonata in B flat, op. 22, and Saran's Fantaisie-Sonata, op. 5, at its last meeting. Questions of touch and phrasing and the methods of making these most significant received the usual measure of attention, but interest centred on the individualizing of voices and special pedal effects, a good deal of instruction being derived also from the treatment of long lasting diminuendos. The Saran, Fantaisie turned attention to analysis with peculiar force, and the wonderful variety and interest the work gives to a small motive by using it as the basis of all four movements, alike in subjects, developments and episodes, was a revelation to the class of artistic skill of the very highest order in a comparatively little known composer. Dr. Hanchett's original and thorough ways of getting at the heart of the matter and bringing out the importance of details often neglected caused the time to slip away almost unperceived. At the next meeting works of Schumann, Weber and Mendelssohn will be played and examined.
93THIRD MORGAN QUARTET CONCERT.—Mrs. Henry W. Poor's home, in Lexington avenue and Gramercy Park, was the scene Wednesday afternoon of a concert by the Morgan Chamber Music Club. The Morgan String Quartet was assisted by Fritz Kreisler, Herman Hans Wetzler and other well-known artists, and there was a large attendance of the members of the club, who include Mrs. Seth Barton French, Mrs. Stephen Pell, Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, Mrs. Stanford White, Mrs. Robert Abbe, Mrs. J. West Roosevelt, Mrs. Hilborne L. Roosevelt, Mrs. Edward J. Berwind and Mrs. John E. Cowdin. The next concert of the club will take place on March 12 at the house of Mrs. J. W. Miller, while the last two meetings will be held at Mrs. Stanford White's home, in East Twenty-first street.
