1Music in Brooklyn
3The first of three musicales was given at Wissner Hall Friday night of last week by Leopold Winkler, pianist; Henry P. Schmidt, violinist, and Mrs. Marie Rappold, soprano. Mr. Winkler's artistic and soulful playing entitles him to take high rank with the leading pianists of the day. With him technic means merely the foundation and then he gives his hearers something which amounts to infinitely more. If Winkler disguised himself, crossed the Atlantic and gave himself a new name, he would be received as a great artist. But since he elects to reside in America, and in New York at that, he must be content with the respectable appreciation of the audiences here before whom he plays.
5Mr. Schmitt will be remembered as the concertmeister and assistant conductor under the late Anton Seidl. At the concert Friday night Mr. Schmitt played his solos tastefully, and in the Beethoven Sonata, which he performed with Mr. Winkler at the piano, gave evidence of advancement technically as well as musically. Mrs. Rappold sang delightfully, as she always does.

31At the next musicale, February 20, Mr. Winkler will be assisted by Mrs. Alexander Rihm, soprano.
33An instrumental recital at the Klingensfeld Conservatory of Music, Monday evening, January 19, was attended by a large number of pupils and guests. Mrs. Marie Klingensfeld, the acting principal of the school, presented a number of her piano pupils, and both in their solos and ensemble pieces these showed the results of admirable training. As a teacher Mrs. Klingensfeld is painstaking and inspiring. A good word must be said for the violinists who are studying with Mr. Walker, the head of the violin department. At short notice Jean Little, a small daughter of Dr. Little, was called upon to substitute for Enid Walker, who was prevented by illness from appearing. The child really distinguished herself by a spirited performance of Weber's "Invitation to the Dance." Miss Beatrice Ball played charmingly her solo number, and showed musical taste in the piano accompaniment for the violin solos performed by Miss Dora Sanborn. The difficult sonata by Clementi for two pianos was most musically played by the Misses Dietzmann and Christensen.

99Mrs. William E. Beardsley, one of the best local pianists, played numbers by Chopin and Mendelssohn at a private musicale on Clinton avenue last week.
