u OLE BULL gave another Concert at the
Park last evening. His style of playing is alto
gethcr different from that of AnTor and without
attempting critique on the performance itself,
we should unhcsitatingly give Ole Du! the pre-
ference. Artot is an artist-a perfect one, if you
WILL Ole Bull is more, he is genius. If we
were to draw comparison, we should say that
they were in music what Macrcady and kcan
are in tragedy. Macrcady is the perfection of
art no is all that q careful and correct study of
his characters can make a man. Kean, also.
studied his characters intensely, but he telt them
deeper than Macready. One studied with admra-
tion--thc other with enthusiasm. Macrcady
never does more than he expects kean often
outdid himself We should make this same dis
tinctlon between Ole Bull and Artot. We should
expect to see Artot compose a piece oGmusic with
great care-study it-modify Improve it till
he regarded it as almost fautlcss, a piece that
Ole Bull should compose in this quiet way we
should expect to see him tear up after he had at
tempted to play it. His best passages we should
expect to hear played almost before composed
We do not know but Artot exhibits as great exc
cution as Ole Bull--but his instrument has not so
much soul in it.
In short, Artot is the perfection of art; Ole
Bull is more-hc is the inspiration of genius
Arot can be pleased, but not tired Ole Bull,
on the contrary, we should think, had his mo-
mentS of inspiration.
With regard to last evening" One Of his pas
sages most interesting to us was where the notes
grew fainter and fainter, like the voice of bird
soaring farther and farther into the heavens, till
the house was hushed in profound silence, and
the plaintive instrument walled on alone and
then he suddenly braught the bow with crash
on the trembling strings, till every thing thrilled
again. But here the audience unfortunately
clapped-the very last place in the world to clap
and the effect sought BY the musician was al
most entirely lost, We regretted it for our own
sakes and for his.
