3Music Notes From Coast to Coast

5to model each phrase, each word, each syllable; he knows how to "spin" a tone, but his legato is not achieved at the expense of distinct articulation. No feature of Mr. Graveure's singing makes finer appeal than his use of mezza voce, and this he did in many of his songs. Elizabeth Alexander played impeccable accompaniments and again contributed largely to the pleasure of the evening.
7Before an audience that comfortably filled Scottish Rite Hall, that talented group, The Abas String Quartet, gave its second concert of the series and strengthened the excellent impression created at its first. The program was planned as a Schubert Memorial and included two of the master's most beautiful chamber music compositions. In the performance of the two-cello quintet, Messrs. Abas, Walski, Verney and Penha had the assistance of Flori Gough, as second cellist, and together they achieved an ensemble that was rich and colorful, although sacrificing no degree of delicacy and charm, and the spirit of their work was distinctive for its blend of ripe musicianship, sweep and power, with all the finer phases of phrasing, nuance and dynamics. Although this number was thoroughly appreciated, the Forellen Quintet made an even greater appeal to the audience, which, by its hearty applause, demonstrated its full approbation, particularly after the Theme and Variations. As this score calls for violin, viola, cello, double bass, and piano, Messrs. Abas, Verney and Penha had the able cooperation of Louis Previati, bass, and Alice Morini, pianist.
9The memory of Franz Schubert was paid tribute to by the Pacific Musical Society in the Fairmont Hotel ballroom when Esther Deininger, pianist; Gertrude Wiedemann, soprano, accompanied by Beatrice Anthony, and the Pasmore Trio interpreted some of the foremost and familiar works of that composer.
11Seattle, Wash. Toscha Seidel, violinist, opened the annual concert series sponsored by the Plymouth Men's Club. This organization is entering its fifth year of artist recitals, and is offering three more artists of like caliber to Seidel.
13Pro Musica organization, Jacques Jou-Jerville, president, presented Henry Cowell, composer-pianist, in an attractive recital. Pro Musica is sponsoring a series of concerts for the winter season, which will present a number of noted composers in their own compositions.
15The Ladies' Musical Club recently presented Louis Graveure, tenor, on its artist course. The regular monthly program of the club was devoted entirely to the works of Johannes Brahms, and included the B major trio, a group of songs, and a number of piano works, all of which were rendered by members of the club.
17The Arion-Liederkranz Choral Society, under the conductorship of Silvio Risegari, gave a delightful Schubert Memorial Concert.
19The Jacques Jou-Jerville studios again are offering this season special opera training under the personal direction of Jacques Jou-Jerville, formerly of the Paris Opera, but who has been located in Seattle for a number of years. J. H.
21Stevens Point, Wis. City Manager Coleman, at the request of the Schubert Centennial Committee, selected the following Schubert week committee for Stevens Point: Norma Schildknecht, representing the public schools; Edward Bukholt, representing the players; Catherine Rood and Marie Russel, representing the private teachers; Bertha Garwick and Mrs. Andrew P. Een, representing the Woman's Club; Louise Southwick, representing the churches, and Frank E. Percival, chairman. The week was observed by the churches and the various organizations of the city. Mr. Percival, who is director of the Memorial Presbyterian Church, initiated the week by putting on the new cantata, The Good Samaritan, by Kenneth E. Runkel, a sacred concert honoring the Schubert Memorial Week.
23Tampa, Fla. The Friday Morning Musicales, observing the centennial of Schubert's death, gave a beautiful program in charge of Mrs. C. A. McKay, who read an interesting account of his life. Some of his most loved works were heard, including the Unfinished Symphony, played by the Musicales' orchestra, Hulda Kreher directing. The student department of the Musicales has reopened with increased interest and activity. Three study classes have been offered in history of music, dramatic art and esthetic dancing. Over seventy-five new members have been registered, and the programs have maintained a high standard. M. M. S.
25Worcester, Mass. Harry Melnikoff, seventeen year old violin prodigy of this city, gave his third recital here under the auspices of the Avoda Club. This was said to be his last recital before his debut under the guidance of his teacher, Leopold Auer, in New York next spring. The young artist gave for his major selection the Vieuxtemps concerto No. 5 in A minor. Stephanie Shehatowitsch, pianist, accompanied him with fine understanding. C. E.
27Vienna's Schubert Congress
28VIENNA.—Immediately after the close of the Schubert Festival there begins in this city a congress of musicologists which will deal exclusively with Schubert, his life and his work. Professor Robert Lach, head of the Vienna University's music department, who created such a stir and elicited so many protests from the musical fraternity for his belittling memorial speech on Schubert during the festival, has, strangely, been chosen to open the congress with an address on Schubert.
