25Of course, we must not forget the Thomas concerts, eight in number and almost ideal in quality, occuring every Friday and Saturday during the month.
27Then too, there were numerous musical affairs in which the violin took a less pretentious part, as at song and piano recitals, so that violins, artists and lovers of music have been highly strung all through the month; at concert pitch.
29February 1st the Chicago Symphony Orchestra begins a series of ten Sunday evening concerts at the Auditorium. Instrumental and vocal soloists have been engaged for each concert, the violinists being Listemann, Spiering and Concertmaster Van Oordt. The programs, ditto prices, are arranged to suit popular taste and demand, and should draw full houses, for their educational value.
31At a concert in Steinway Hall on the 21st of last month, the pupils of Max I. Fischel dispelled any doubt that may have been held by persons in the audience, which was a large one, as to that gentleman's teaching ability. His contributions to these columns are familiar to most of our readers. The two most remarkable traits in the playing by these pupils was the free arm in all kinds of bowing and their uniformly good intonation, both in orchestra work, in which a class of thirty-eight took part, and in their solos. These qualities were well brought out in the solo by highly gifted Bennie Herson, ten years old, who won great applause for his flights to the top of the finger-board, in perfect tune, and the maturity of his style, while the playing by advanced players, as Miss Carrie Conley and Anselm Dietrichstein, equaled the work of a great many professionals.
