weG!her the Hall was web filed, and
the audience appeared to enjoy shem-
selves finely. The entertainment was
opened with the grand Overture lie
Serment !" this was executed in fine
style by the whole company.
The second on the Programme VAS
"Arla from "Pretendent" with Oboe ob.
lgato. In the execution o. this piece
we had an opportunity Of listening TO
nnother most excellent performance OF
tie Oboe by MIR Ohlemann. And
rich treat II certainly was. We hope
to hear i, many times.
Third We had the wild strains OF
"Cavaina from the Prophet" us written
by Meyerbeer. This also afforded nm
opportunity Tor most excellent obli-
cato performance on the Cla-it ne,io
which was duly embraced by Mr.
Schutze. Probably that which excit
cd the greatest attention or perhaps ad.
miration was the " Variations brlIian,s,
on "A Russian Air executed by Mr..
Schutze oil the Violin 10 Ms (if we
must find iaulD it appears as though
the introduction was TO long las though
it kept US too long waiting for the theme
! We are inclined TO think that anything
short %. the very best rendering wouli
cause the introduction TO be wcarisome
Such was not really the TACT in this in
stance although our appetite for the
sweet 10 fellow was somewhat apcra-
waited by III" long delay IN satisfying it's
demand
We think there are but few Violinists
who excel Mr.. Schultze, in purity Of
tone we think We never heard his equal.
We had the pleasure last winter of
hearing in New York that celebrated
Vlolnist whose praises were the con.
stan, theme Of the Press OF that city for
so long time, we alude TO NJ. Hauser.
He certainly possessed vividly active
imagination with rare powers Of repro.
ducing its pictures with his instrument.
In this he may excel possibly Mr..
Schultze even here we are not certain
for the latter has not yet given US any
ad, quate opportunity TO decide. BIT
while he was drawing those splendid
iancies with a masters skill there was
something unsatisfactory something
which wac not al frs, tangible. which
at first could not be named. After close
and 'long-drawn" attention the dissatis.
faction could be traced to the want of
clear, pure tone. II may be difficult
now, perhaps, TO characterize the. fault.
Huskiness is, perhaps, to gross a term,
but yet il will come rs near TO the idea,
probably. as shor,ncss Of terms will
admit. There seemed 10 &c n hazlness
over the picture.
Not go with Mr.. Schultzc's notes they
are pure and clear, and we always lis
ten with a perfect satisfaction. There
is no blurring the sccnc---there are no
attempts resulting MS is too frequently
true, in partial failures. Hauser also
played two parts dnely, but we think
that NJ. Srhulizc obtains more volumn
by far on such movements, while the
harmony is more correct. The third
Variation was beautiful specimen Of
this species Of execution.
We think the fifth Variation gave
most admirable example Of execution.
1t was the most rapid, difficult as well
as perfect, toned that we ever heard
II is no wonder that the house came
down j and were it not for the general
pinion that il was asking too much. il
would have received a most hearty en-
care.
The Reunion Caliop ia n superb COM
position, and was superbly rendered
If any one doubts whether Mr.. Haase
can execute, let them hear his trumpet
in this Gallop, and his doubts will flee
away.
The First Fart clost with the cover
ture to William Tell" We wonder
that the Germania Society have never
/ before drawn from the rich and exhaust
less stores Of Rossini ? We hope that
this will only be the beginning of joys,
and that we shall have repeated extracts
from his vo'.s II may be tha, we en-
joycd it the more from some remins-
cences connected herewith. II brought
viyidly TO mind the last time we had the
happiness Of hearing the Gcrmanns
perform it, which was at Jenny Lind's
Grand Concerts at Castle Garden.
Part Second, which was compored oil
dances went of with spirit and gave
the fair ones present an opportunity TO
"trip the ligh, fantastic toe" But we
have not space to comment farther 10.
