Goxtsehalk,s Third Concert.
The excitement Of the past week in fashion
able and musical circles has been the debut of
Gottschalk before Chicago audience. Every
one with an opinion has been careful to deliv-
er it, and as the opinions were all Of one char
ter, the city has resounded with a chorus OF
praise. The young American artist may well
feel proud Of his triumph. His style is origi-
nal, differing widely from all Others. But it is
in pieces Ike the last Hope" the Marehe
de Mutt" the s'Pastorclla' and 'sMurmures
Eolian'' That We find sensihility most orig
inal, quiet richness Of harmony, which we
look for rainly in many other living writers.
And this brings Us to Gottschalk's merits as q
pianist Euture has been kindly to him in
the way Of fingers and the precise sort OF
strength that he requires. The strength and
elasticity Of his wrist and forearm are enor,
nous, and apparently beyond the reach o1
fatigue. Nothing can exceed the distinctnesG
Of his scales, the evenness aud limpidity Of his
| t1ills, single and double, the smoothness With
| which his fingers travel over thirds and sixtlls
or the agile willingness Of his wrist in octayes
| We have said enough to show our regard 70,
Mr.. Gottschalk as an artist.
! Caslotta Patti must not be forgotten. Won
derfu1 is the only word for such voice aud
such execution as hers. Beautiful in person
charming Us aVocalist it is impossible to lister
! to her in the "Pallacca from Puritani," the
"Valse Vensano," OF the French Laughing
| Song,'' and not admire.
George Simpson was good in his role, ant
his exquisite rendering Of Balfe's stCome inte
the garden, Maud,'' was enthusiastically re
ceived, and is destined to become favo7it,
here signor Morino has d., baritone voice
and adds that indiecribabla Dir OF genius ani

Our talented townsman, Franz staab, &c
quilted himself noblg in his share Of th

Tonight is the second and positively las
appearance Of these distinguished artists, a
McVieker's Theatre, and we trust they vii
be favored with bumper at parting that vii
cause them to remember Chicago for SOM
time to come.
