Mr. Thomai's string quartet, which is more -.
and of t better quality than-Jullien's. In the wind inatru-
ments Mr. Thomas is beaten, mostly in his cornet,- ophi-
cleide, and second oboe. Jullien again has Lavigne, who
is undoubtedly the greatest executant on his instrument,
but the tone of our.first oboe, Mr. Jennings, is far more
grateful in a slow movement. With regard to Lazsrus
there can be but one opinion—be has not yet been equalled.
So much for the executants, and now for the performances.
In overtures i-sy euphonies, and selections, Mr. Thomas car-
ries the palm, but in the dance music Jullien has a decided
advantageond we would recommend Mr. Thomas. and his
band not to forget that supreme excellence is only to be
obtained by taking as much pains with the lighter as with
the severe-school of- music, and we would also urge upon
them the necessity of glving more pungency; crispness,
aplomb to,their lighter eforts. We see that tine pro-
gramme for this (Tuesday) evening contains Me ndeissohn's
music to' "-The Midsummer Night's Dream:" They
are not-wanting in the necessary lightness 'required here,
but then -it is music more congenial to their feelings as
artistes, and the true artist will always endeavour to make
much nut of a little. 'As this is the last week-bat one,
let all those -who wish for an intellectual treat, go to Mr.
Thomas's -concerts and hear a first-rate band and
first-rate performance.
