1Among the Players
3FELIX WEINGARTNER'S new Sextet for two violins, viola, cello, bass and piano, was played in London recently at a "Saturday Pop."
5The Kruse Quartet played, in London, the great Brahms quintet in F, assisted by a pianist of the metropolis.
7The Bostleman String Quartet, father, son and two daughters, played at Pocahontas, Va. on the 12th of last month.
9New Haven's symphony orchestra had Hans Kronold as cello soloist in the Saint Saens concerto at the Dec. 11 concert.
11Ole Bull Jones is a violinist of Tennessee, who is rather handicapped. It will be difficult to give another Ole Bull his due.
13Von Kunits, of the Pittsburg Orchestra, played Lalo's Symphony Espagnole and the D Minor concerto by Max Bruch, at the holiday concerts.
15A new quartet for violins was played by pupils of Carl Hauser in New York city at the last recital given by them. The composer is Carl C. Muller.
17Washington, D. C., is to have the Kneisel's, its own symphony, Richard Kay and Anton Kasper, violinists, and Winceslao Villopando, cellist, during the present month.
19Dezso Nemes made his debut in Boston on the 3rd, playing pieces by Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Hubay, Wieniawski and Bach to the satisfaction of the critical Hub-dwellers.
21Maud Powell, the great American violinist, has been engaged for eighteen weeks with Sousa's band on its European tour. Miss Powell has resided for several years in England.
23Jacques Hoffman, Adolf Bak, Frederick Zahn, and Carl Barth, forming the Hoffman Quartet, played quartets by Beethoven and Smetana at their concert in Boston last month.
25Marie Barrientos, a Spanish girl only 17 years old is an accomplished violinist, besides being the prima donna at Buenos Ayres, South America, where she receives $7,000 a month.
27Chas. K. Davis gave a concert in New York city, last month and is to play his annual concert at the Waldorf Astoria early this month. He came to this country four years ago from London.
29Miss Anna Kieckhoefer, violinist, and her two sisters—the Kieckhoefer Trio—have just bought a stock farm in the Adirondacks and are fixing it up to suit their queenly taste. Art seems to pay.
31One of the American pupils studying at Prague is Miss Mable Woodbury, of Marshalltown, Iowa. Her father is in receipt of a letter from Sevcik in which he states that Miss Woodbury is endowed with remarkable talent.
33Leonora Jackson is in Berlin, where it is her intention to study two years more. Think of that, you students who think yourselves "art-ests" ready for concert work before you have reached half so near the limit of perfectibility.
35The Halifax, Nova Scotia, Symphony Orchestra did not play a symphony at its initial concert, Dec. 5, but the conductor, Max Weil, played the first movement of Spohr's eleventh concerto. Still, we must have a symphony next time, gentlemen.
37The author of Winner's instruction books, died at Philadelphia Nov. 23, at the age of 76. He was the author of "The Mocking Bird" and technical works for nearly every instrument. Few musicians trained in America are not indebted to Septimus Winner for many happy hours.
39Ole Bull's violin is exhibited at the West of Norway Industrial Arts Museum, in Bergen. A glass case has been made for it and in the event of fire it can be quickly sunk into a safe. The famous artist, Cellini, carved its head (in place of the regular scroll) but did not make the instrument, as has been claimed.
41Blachford, violin; Saunders, cello; and Tripp, piano; the Schumann Trio of Toronto, Canada, got up a very attractive program for their concert which took place on the 18th. Schumann's D Minor Trio was the principal number and a sketch of the composer added not a little to the interest in the work. The public needs a little information on these matters and a neatly printed program offers just the place for giving it to them.
43At the inauguration of the new High School of Music at Berlin, Joachim made an address before the emperor, who in reply said: "You know what a great educational influence I ascribe to music and its cultivation. It is, above all, to be considered in its influence on temperament and on the entire soul-life. Music enlightens, elevates, and forms the soul. I am convinced that you and the entire staff of the college have this conception of your work and do it in that spirit."
