1major Fantaisie of Schumann was that of an embryonic master. It was broad, authoritative, warm and poetic in style. It was just to the composer and eloquent for the hearer. We have never heard this masterpiece so excellently interpreted by an unknown artist making his first bid for public favor. If Mr. Hochman had done nothing else, this alone would have sufficed to make substantial promise for his future.—New York Times.
3Last night Arthur Hochman gave a piano recital at Mendelssohn Hall, where a good sized audience greeted him, but it is safe to say that should he give a second recital there would be a much larger audience, as at this recital Arthur Hochman made an extraordinary impression. It is very hard for a young pianist to win distinction in these days. There are so many who have through laborious study gained a good technic and who play with taste, but upon making their début receive only an "honorable mention."
5Hochman is an exception. It is easy to prophesy for him that he will shortly make a name for himself as one of the great virtuosi. This prophecy we need not base on what he hopes to do in the future, but what he did last night at his recital. He had thoroughly prepared himself before he made his first appearance. His technic is wonderful, and so exquisite is his interpretation that it never showed the least mark of roughness; while the artistic expression and keen insight which he displayed is a revelation to all. It would be surprising in an artist of more mature years, but is much more so in a young one. Never does he lose any of the poesy and temperament, as is so often the case; no matter how rapid the tempi, his shading and fullness of tone is always there.—New York Staats-Zeitung, March 12, 1902.
7Among the many young pianists who have appealed for public favor this season none is more deserving than Arthur Hochman, who was heard at Mendelssohn Hall last evening.
9There is much solid merit in his playing. It is marked by a good tone, a vigorous touch, breadth of formulation and an eloquence of expression which is based upon temperament and intelligence. His technical facility is extreme. Last night he played—among other things—a Schumann Fantaisie with a fine blending of sentiment and passion. He has a bright future.—New York World.
11Mr. Hochman has much in his favor. He has a very well developed technic, fleet, sure fingers, capital octaves, clear runs and scales, and a very good control of the dynamic possibilities of his instrument. His playing is marked by admirable soberness and restraint, and yet, as he showed in the Schumann Fantaisie, which he played exceedingly well, he has plenty of imagination. In this number he was at his best, although he played the Schubert Impromptu and the Chopin Nocturne very prettily, getting in both of them a nice, mellow singing tone.—Commercial Advertiser.
13On Tuesday evening Arthur Hochman, a young New Yorker of Russian-Jewish parentage, gave a piano recital at Mendelssohn Hall. He is a remarkable pianistic talent, whose work is imbued with the infectious enthusiasm of youth. Power, poetical conception and a wide range of dynamical effects are some of the traits exhibited by this brilliant young artist. Some other selections I was unable to hear, but I have not for a long time "assisted" at a début which in present achievement and in future possibilities was so auspicious.—Hebrew Standard.

17Katherine Pelton.
19MISS KATHERINE PELTON assisted the Georgetown Orchestra at the concert which the organization gave in Washington earlier in the season. Her singing was greatly enjoyed, and, from the following press opinions, appealed to the critics:
21Miss Katherine Pelton was the soloist, giving first the Gluck aria, "Che Faro Senza Euridice," in a way that exhibited even new beauties in that oft rendered selection. Later in the evening her little group of songs in French, German, and one inimitable Irish ballad, "The Gap in the Hedge," showed unexpected possibilities in her wonderfully resonant soprano voice, and in response to an unanimous demand for an encore she delivered a perfect little gem of a folksong.—Washington Post.
23The audience was large and discriminating. The vocal soloist, Miss Katherine Pelton, of New York, proved to be an artist of fine method and beautiful mezzo-soprano voice.—Washington Times.
25Gluck's aria, "Che Faro Senza Euridice," was sung by Miss Katherine Pelton, of New York city, with easy grace and a very pleasant, finely modulated mezzo-soprano voice.
27Miss Katherine Pelton, in the following number, showed herself to be perfectly at home in the French, in the German and in the Irish school of song. Reginaldo Hahn's "Si Mes Vers Avalent des Alles" she sang with a sweet sentiment; Brahms' "Der Schmied" Miss Pelton sang with the typical German temperament, and that sweet Irish air, "The Gap in the Hedge," was rendered by her with the proper soulful and rollicking Irish sentiment.—Washington Star.
29Mrs. Alves Busy.—Mrs. Carl Alves, whose studio at 1146 Park avenue, is always the scene of busy activity, has a number of very promising voices. Of these several have studied long enough to warrant their appearance on the concert stage, and no doubt next season we will have the pleasure of hearing them.
