1GRIENAUER-PYLE JOINT RECITAL.
2A joint recital by Karl Grienauer, the well known cellist, and Wynn Pyle, the young Southern pianist, who has enjoyed and profited by European advantages, at Mendelssohn Hall, January 9, filled the hall with interested listeners. Miss Pyle plays with well developed technic and sentiment, and is altogether a serious artist. There was grace in the Chopin ballade, and dramatic blood in the B minor scherzo; after three recalls she played another Chopin excerpt. Ingratiating appearance adds to the effect of her playing. A genuine ensemble was that of
4WYNNI PYLE.
6Mr. and Madame Grienauer in a sonata by Rheinberger for cello and piano, the joyous finale sounding brilliant. Mr. Grienauer played a prelude by Bruch with much sentiment, and his own transcription of the Dubois organ piece, "In Paradisum," most effectively. The audience rose to his playing of the Leclair "Sarabande and Tambourin," the warmest applause following; the pizzicati movement stirs up general interest, and it was done by Grienauer in a moving tempo. George Schmidt and Gaston Borch, members of the Grienauer Cello Quartet, collaborated with the soloist in Popper's beautiful "Requiem," a novelty for three cellos. Madame Grienauer played artistic accompaniments throughout the evening. Gerardy was among the interested listeners. Mr. Grienauer will go to Europe for a tour next May, playing first in Vienna.

56OBITUARY.
58Albert A. Mack.
59The death of Albert A. Mack, for the past three years a valued member of the music faculty of Syracuse (N. Y.) University, is a sad loss to Syracuse and to all who knew of him as a composer or as a teacher. In his manner, quiet and unassuming, he had within him the possibilities of a great composer. But just reaching the zenith of his powers, the name of Professor Mack was becoming known throughout the musical world for the high character of his efforts, for the fine mentality and scope of his ideas and for the power and aptitude which he manifested in all his compositions.
61Warren Davenport.
62A name well known among musical people in this country, and especially in the vocal department, is that of Warren Davenport, who was not only a singing teacher, but also a writer and a publicist. He died on Friday, January 3, at Roxbury, Boston, at the age of sixty-seven.
64Mr. Davenport began his career with Oliver Ditson & Co. as a young man, in the engraving department, and he also had considerable experience subsequently in music publishing departments of other firms. All this time he was studying music with avidity and with a desire to become a professional musician, and he soon launched out as a critic, a writer and a teacher of singing. He had theories of his own that were in conflict with many other theories, as is usually the case, but he stood firmly by certain fixed resolutions in the treatment of the voice, and was successful in many instances in producing excellent results. The field of his activity, however, was not broad enough and big enough to insure for him such a success as he was constantly looking for and which he never secured—that is to say, in a practical sense, and besides that, a musical clique system, which prevails in the larger cities of all countries, made it impossible for him to broaden out as his natural talents would have justified. He was a man of his own opinions, sometimes carried away by his enthusiasm, but always remembering that his aim and destiny were the study and the development of the art musical and the vocal art particularly. Personally he was an agreeable man and a gentleman, and his many friends are very much grieved at his comparatively early death.
66In Memory of "The Corsair."
67Then up spoke W. Damrosch.
68Who testily cried: "Oh, bosh!
69I'm a musical Rombom,
70So I know where it came from,
71'Tis the 'Corsair,' I swear it, b'gosh!"
73J. Rice then sadly said:
74"The truth to believe I am led,
75When the 'Corsair' I wrote
76I was playing the goat;
77'Tis a good thing that Hector is dead."
78—My Monides
80Downing's Dates.
81George H. Downing, the baritone, is booking his share of engagements. The more important of those in prospect are "The Creation," Hornell, N. Y.; "Stabat Mater," Perth Amboy, N. J., and "The Crusaders," Stamford, Conn., as well as in miscellaneous works in Binghamton, N. Y.; Bloomfield, N. J., and elsewhere. Mr. Downing is fast making widespread reputation for himself, and this is based on his always reliable singing.
83Otto K. Schill's Concert Engagements.
84Otto K. Schill, the violinist, whose studio residence is at 14-16 Stirling street, Newark, N. J., is being booked for a number of concerts. Mr. Schill's artistic circular includes many press notices which testify in positive terms to his gifts as a performer.
