1and tone. The whole secret of control of fingerboard and bow revolves around three words—strength, flexibility and freedom—and Spiering has devised very ingenious exercises of his own, both for the left hand and right arm, for acquiring these essentials. In point of repertory, too, Spiering is broad and catholic in his tastes, and he draws, both for himself and his pupils, from every good source in violin literature. Godowsky's son Leopold, a boy of six, is studying the violin under Spiering's pupil, Nicoline Zedeler.
3Katherine Ruth Heyman has gone to London for the season, where she will be heard in recital and at "At Homes." Her songs, "Childhood Memories," were recently sung with much success at Hamburg by Gail Gardner. Some of her lieder are also to be sung in London this season.
5Nina Cotogni, of St. Petersburg, a pupil of Lamperti, will soon enter upon an operatic engagement in Italy. She has studied singing at the Santa Cecilia Academy, in Rome, where she was accepted, although a foreigner, on account of her unusual talent and beautiful voice, instruction at this academy being free and ordinarily for Italians only. After a year and a half in Italy she sang publicly in Russia for a time and then came to Lamperti to further perfect herself. She has a soprano voice of rich quality and her singing is soulful and effective.
7A program of twenty-five lieder by Richard Wintzer was recently sung at Beethoven Hall, by Louise Gelle Wolter, Susanne Dessoir and Arthur van Eweyck. The Wintzer songs show melodic invention, pleasing natural harmonies and characteristic mode of expression. He has, above all, a special gift for songs in "Volkston." His opera, "Marienkind," was performed at the Halle Opera not long since and enthusiastically received. Five serious songs from his pen, entitled "Eine Frühlingsnacht," "Mein Liebster hat zu Tod mich geladen," "Allein" and two musical settings to Paul Heyse's poem, "Verzogen, Verflogen," have recently been published by the Pantheon Publishing Company in Berlin. "Eine Frühlingsnacht" has been sung here by Alexander Heinemann with marked success.
9The fiftieth birthday of Edgar Stillman-Kelley was commemorated on the evening of April 14, at the salon of Hofpianistin Martha Remmert, who invited about eighty guests to listen to the first reading of the composer's recently completed string quartet, op. 25. The structure is something out of the ordinary. Instead of the traditional four movements there are three, the first consisting of an introduction and an original theme and variations, the second being a toccata and fugue (a double variation), followed by the finale (a triple variation). Instead of employing the sonata form in the opening movement, as is customary, this feature has appropriately been reserved for the finale, when the series of three variations are introduced, constituting respectively the main, secondary and closing themes, which, at the climax of the coda, are brought in simultaneously. Then, finally, appears once more the original theme of the first movement, the dominant bringing the work to a peaceful close. The quartet was sympathetically rendered by Professor Fritz Struss, royal concertmeister, and his colleagues, and the reception awarded the composition was most gratifying to its creator, who at once received requests from three organizations for the privilege of performing it in public next season.
11The third production this season in Berlin of Stillman-Kelley's piano quintet took place at the last chamber music evening of the Wagner Society on Tuesday. This work is dedicated to Dr. William Mason and is now being published by Albert Stahl, Potsdamer strasse, 39.
13Mr. and Mrs. Wilhelm Eylau announce the birth of a daughter, whom they have named Louise. Mr. Eylau has left Prague and will now reside permanently in Berlin.
15Teresa Carreño sailed last week for Australia, where she will make an extended concert tour. She will return via San Francisco, making a tour of the United States.

69Kotlarsky Violin Concert.
70Samuel Kotlarsky, a remarkably gifted boy violinist, whose path along the thorny musical way is being guided by Herwegh von Ende, gave a concert at the Savoy Theater on Tuesday afternoon, April 30, with the assistance of Viola Waterhouse, soprano; Prof. Cornelius Rübner, pianist, and Paul Dufault, tenor.
72Young Kotlarsky, through the influence of his instructor, Von Ende, has won a large following in the city's innermost social circles, and the audience last week resembled a gala night gathering in the boxes of the Manhattan or Metropolitan opera houses.
74The lad's numbers were the first movement of the Mendelssohn concerto, the "Fantasie Appassionata," by Vieuxtemps, and moreaux, by Pierné, Borowski and Ries. He exhibited style and schooling of the most thorough kind, and such a rich measure of tone, technic and temperament that his future as a violinist of unusual attainments seems practically certain. "Prodigies," as a rule, do not bring their early talents to ripest fruition, but in the case of Kotlarsky, the boy's evident earnestness, sensitive musical nature, and refreshing modesty promise a fairer fate than that which menaces most hot-house performers of tender years. His comparatively few public appearances are a warrant of his teacher's good sense and self denial.
76Professor Rübner, in exceptionally well played piano solos, and Mrs. Waterhouse and Mr. Dufault, in vocal selections, delivered with rare taste, contributed materially to the high tone and artistic aspect of the concert. Encores and applause were plentiful, but, of course, the major portion went to the youthful "star" of the afternoon.
78Arthur de Guichard Conducts Concert in Providence.
79The People's Choral Association, of Providence, R. I., Arthur de Guichard, conductor, gave its last concert, at Memorial Hall, Providence, under excellent auspices. Henry Smart's dramatic cantata, "The Bride of Dunker- ron," was the principal number of the evening. An orchestra of sixteen assisted the chorus, and the soloists included: Mary Charles, soprano; Stefano Pettine, tenor; Edgar Allan Schofield, basso, and Bertha Woodward, pianist. Before singing Smart's cantata the following numbers were presented as part of the program: Part song, "Oh, My Love's Like a Red, Red Rose," Garrett, People's Choral Association; aria, "Cielo e Mar," Ponchielli, Stefano Pettine; air, "The Nightingale's Song" ("Noces de Jeanette"), Masse, Mary Charles; song, "Hybrias Cretan," Elliott, Edgar Allan Schofield; piano solo, allegro from "Faschings- schwank," Schumann, Bertha Woodward. one of two readings

82The People's Choral Association was organized three years ago, and during this period has accomplished much to advance the cause of good music in Providence.
84Duzensi Pupil a Favorite at Harlem Concert.
85At a recent concert that took place in the Harlem Casino Music Hall, Rose Oppenheimer, a pupil of Enrico Duzensi, especially distinguished herself. It was a benefit affair, and although there was a long program, Miss Oppenheimer was compelled to add two encores to her number, an aria from "Samson and Delilah." The young singer has a dramatic soprano of good quality, a handsome stage presence, and her singing is notable for all those worthy points for which her teacher has become renowned.
