89Ganz and the Volpe Symphony Orchestra Concert.
90Rudolf Ganz was the soloist at the last Volpe Symphony Concert, playing Liszt's A major piano concerto with a facile ease, tonal brilliancy and spontaneity which caught the large house, bringing him back half a dozen times, when he at last played the "Love Dream Nocturne" as encore contribution. That he appreciated the excellent accompaniment of the orchestra was evident from the hearty grasp of the hand he gave Conductor Volpe. Tchaikowsky's "Pathetic Symphony" was the principal orchestral work, and in this the young men quite distinguished themselves, rushing tempi and big climax characterizing the performance.
91A symphonic suite, "Ueber's Weltenmeer," by Fritz Stahlberg, once a member of the Pittsburgh Orchestra, now resident here, showed thorough control of the orchestral apparatus, some original ideas and effective moments. The young composer was called out at the close, and honored with an orchestral fanfare. A happy performance of the "Fidelio" overture, E major, is also to be registered. The orchestra announces the continuation of these concerts next season, its fifth. Conductor Volpe is to be felicitated on the series ended, which has shown remarkable artistic growth consequent on high ideals allied with sufficient rehearsal.
93Edith Cline Ford in New Rochelle.
94Edith Cline Ford, of the Ford School of Expression, New York, was one of the artistic attractions at a concert given Thursday night of last week at the Congregational Church in New Rochelle, N. Y. Miss Ford's high literary ideals are disclosed in all that she does. Musicians are taking advantage of the training she has to offer them. Singers are especially benefited by a course at the Ford School.
96Akers Song Recital April 7.
97Sally Frothingham Akers will give her annual song recital Tuesday afternoon, April 7, at Mendelssohn Hall, Isidore Luckstone at the piano. The artists have put together a most interesting program containing many novelties, ancient and modern. Who, for instance, knows Wach's "Le vieux St. Jean," ballade by Borodin, the "Ariette" from "Ascanio" by Saint-Saëns, "Breddon Hill" by Young, "February" and "November" by Grace Chadbourne?
98The heirs of Donizetti have won the lawsuit against La Société des Auteurs, Paris, the society having been compelled to pay the heirs an account of 800,000 francs.
100Error Regarding Gebhard.
101In announcing in last week's Musical Courier Extra the number of foreign pianists who are to come here next season to play publicly and stating that there was no American yet in the list, that paper overlooked, inadvertently, Heinrich Gebhard, and the following letter will explain his artistic movements for next season:
103To The Musical Courier, New York, N. Y.
104In The Musical Courier Extra, March 28, page 10, you have an interesting paragraph in which you state the names of the pianists who are coming over here actually or possibly next season. You go on to state you have not heard about any American pianist being engaged for next season, but there is sure to be such a case.
105I know you will be interested to know that Heinrich Gebhard, who is an American pianist, has been heard from; he will play much more extensively than ever before in this country next season, and already preparations are being made for his touring the Middle West and the East and part of the South. I enclose you a circular relating to Mr. Gebhard, fresh from the press. If you would comment on this matter I feel sure your readers would be interested, as well as.
106Yours very truly,
107HENRY L. MASON.
109Chittenden Pupils Play.
110The many friends of the American Institute of Applied Music who attended the afternoon tea given by Kate S. Chittenden, dean, and faculty of the institution, March 28, were hospitably and charmingly entertained. A piano program of eight numbers, consisting of selections by d'Albert, Tchaikowsky, MacDowell, Sinding, Dvorák, and others, was given by pupils of Miss Chittenden. Those taking part were Agnes Naumberg, Witta Thomas, Ruth Potter, Elizabeth Holden, Vera Hamilton, Agnes Frieda Geuder, Isabel Carmen Bonell and Henrietta Buckler.
111The interpretation of the various numbers was characterized by intelligence and artistic feeling. The assisting artist was Susan L. Griggs, soprano, whose excellent rendering of songs by Strauss, Gow and Becker won much applause. The assistance of that admirable accompanist, William F. Sherman, added greatly to the success of the program.
113Epstein Trio's Second Concert.
114The second concert by the Herman Epstein Trio in the Lewisohn Auditorium, Hebrew Technical Institute, March 22, brought Arensky's trio, well known because of frequent performance, and the lesser known number, the "Dumky Trio," by Dvorák. Solo numbers between these contributed variety and sustained interest. At the next concert a new trio by Edwin Grasse will be played from the manuscript.
115Puccini is at Viareggio after his return from Egypt, where he made an interesting excursion on the Nile. He has expressed a desire to buy a villa there on those beautiful shores of the Mediterranean. After the first performance of "Butterfly" at Rome, he will go to his favorite Villa Torre del Lago, there to work on his new opera.
