1and uses, Mrs. Eylau proved by a recital of adequate extracts, how the character and tonal height of the melody, assisted by the art of fingering and the pedal, render it possible to characteristically imitate, even by the piano tone, instruments such as the cello, flute, trumpet, etc. It was specially significant, that, as their performances showed, her scholars were not only capable of this modulation of the piano tone, but had also grasped the technically fine means of producing such effects to a degree, as was proved by replies given to questions. Their playing testified to the education of ear and nerves, and their explanations to a most successful preparation for their future activity as teachers.
3Glenn Hall, Accompanied by Nikisch and Fiedler.
4Glenn Hall has just returned to Berlin after a splendid success in song recital at Vienna, where he was accompanied by Erich Wolff, the young composer, whose songs are coming so prominently to public notice this season through the singing of Glenn Hall and other recitists. On November 6 Mr. Hall sang his second recital in Leipzig with the distinguished assistance of Arthur Nikisch, as accompanist. At the request of Herr Nikisch, Max Fiedler, the Hamburg director, accompanied Mr. Hall in a song recital in Hamburg on November 14.

11Organ Recitals by William C. Carl.
12William C. Carl was appointed by the American Guild of Organists to open a series of free organ recitals in Greater New York. This course of concerts will be given under the auspices of the Guild during the autumn and winter, on Monday evenings in the principal churches of this vicinity. No cards of admission are required.
13The inaugural recital took place at the "Old First" Presbyterian Church, at the corner of Fifth avenue and Twelfth street, Monday night, November 11. Mr. Carl is the regular organist and choirmaster at this church. The other recitals in the series will be given also by prominent organists who are members of the Guild. Mr. Carl himself will give his own series of organ recitals this autumn, Monday afternoons at 4 o'clock in the historic church at which he has for many years directed the music.
14Despite the many attractions in the metropolitan district on Monday night of last week, a very large assemblage of music lovers attended the recital. Mr. Carl was assisted by two of the soloists from his church, Rena Lazelle, soprano, and Andreas Schneider, baritone. The program was as follows:
15Passacaglia in B flat……………………………Girolamo Frescobaldi
16Larghetto e Spiccato………………………….Wilhelm Friedman Bach
17Gavotte in B flat……………………………….Handel
18Concert Fugue in G…………………………….Krebs
19Aria, My Heart Ever Faithful…………………Johann Sebastian Bach
20Rena Lazelle, solo soprano of the Old First Church.
21Allegro Maestoso, Sonata in C minor (new)……J. Victor Bergquist
22Cantilene (new) (dedicated to Mr. Carl)……….James H. Rogers
23Praeludium, Fuga und Ciaccona………………..Buxtehude
24Suite Elegiaque……………………………….Lavotta
25Aria, Legende…………………………………Purcell
26Andreas Schneider, solo baritone of the Old First Church.
27Marche de la Symphonie Ariane…………………Guilmant
28Mr. Carl's comprehensive program covers nearly four centuries of music. From the pre-classical Frescobaldi to the modern James H. Rogers, students of organ music will find much food for thought and much more than some of the most industrious of them will ever master. Mr. Carl's industry and his zeal are matched by his musicianship and his skill as an organist. This skill was never more completely demonstrated than at this performance. The player dominated the instrument in giving the highest expression to this wonderful range of compositions.
29The works of the early writers must discourage some who attempt to write for the organ in this day, for these early works are models of form, and the themes are nearly always beautiful and uplifting. This is especially true of the Frescobaldi number and the very charming larghetto by Wilhelm Friedman Bach. The Handel "Gavotte" was extremely winning, and there was convincing strength in the concert fugue by Krebs.
30The new numbers by Bergquist and Rogers were pleasing and worthy of repeated hearings. The suite "Elegiaque," by Rudolph Lavotta is a refined and delightful composition in four parts, and not the least to be said in its favor is its brevity. The singers added much to the musical feast of the evening. The recital closed triumphantly with the stirring march by Guilmant.
31Monday of this week, November 18, Mr. Carl gave the first in his series of afternoon recitals at the "Old First" church. There will be two more in the series, on Monday afternoons November 25 and December 2.

51Good Reports for the Misses Sassard.
52The charming ensemble singers, Eugenie and Virginia Sassard, have filled a number of engagements since their New York début at Carnegie Hall with the New York Symphony Orchestra. The artists sang in Hartford, Conn., with the same orchestra Tuesday night, November 12. Saturday night of last week they appeared at a big charity concert in the Waldorf-Astoria. Monday night of this week they sang again with the New York Symphony in Philadelphia. Extracts from some of the New York criticisms and one from Hartford are appended:
53The solo feature of the concert was the singing of duets by Eugenie and Virginia Sassard, who have found much favor in Great Britain. They were heard in Dvorák's "Klange aus Mähren" and showed individual taste and skill as well as excellence in their ensemble.—New York Sun, November 11, 1907.
54In the duets Eugenie and Virginia Sassard appeared for the first time in the United States. They won several recalls from the audience and compliments from Mr. Damrosch. They are well known in Paris and London in the songs of Tchaikowsky, Brahms, Grieg and Charpentier, as well as of Dvorák.—New York Herald.
55Charming is the word which characterized the work of Virginia and Eugenie Sassard, the soloists of the occasion, who sang five Dvorák characteristic duets from the composer's "Echoes from Moravia," which distinctly pleased the audience to the extent of flowers and several recalls. With an artistic repose wholly admirable, these two fair damsels sing with great taste, finish and refinement, and, wonderful to relate of female voices—generally so faded and monotonous—with decided color and variety of tone and expression.—World.
56The soloists were Virginia and Eugenie Sassard, and at their first appearance they sang five Dvorák duets that were styled on the program "Echoes from Moravia." The three that came first were somewhat alike in effect, the voices being used together all the time, but the fourth on the list, "Parting Without Sorrow," and the last, "The Ring," were more pleasing in that the singers had more opportunities to show their voices separately. The Dvorák group of songs employed Mr. Damrosch at the piano as accompanist, and his playing, as usual, was delightful. Later in the evening the Misses Sassard sang, with orchestra, duets from Berlioz's "Beatrice and Benedict" and Delibes' "Lakmé" that proved most enjoyable. The singers showed very pleasing voices. * * * The impression made last evening by the Misses Sassard was distinctly favorable and the novelty of duets at a symphony concert doubtless was appreciated by many in the audience.—Hartford Courant, November 13, 1907.
