MUSICAL REVIEW.

There Is nothing that tends so much TO elevate the
musical taste Of the people the course OF train
ing TO which pupils are subjected in the conserve
tories II is astonishing what number OF excellent
pianists may be found there. At a soree given by
the New York Conservatory Of Music on Thursday
last we heard two little girls play some exceedingly
difficult pieces with an ease, brlliancy, dash ana
clockwork precision which would have shamed
many public performers When little girl can play
u sptHn@2ied By Litoi. an impromptu by Chopin and
take part in Bach concerto for string quartet and
two pianos there Is little fear but that such course
OF musical instruction win soon sweep the trash
away from the publishers shelves and re-
place It with genuine works Of art. Another
phenomenon OF fifteen years Of age will soon make
her debut q pianist. playing Mendessohn's
'"Caprcco" and LISTS "Concerto,r with orchestral
accompaniment. Our stock Of panists Is develop
ing fast and every one that comes from Europe as
star Is completely taken aback to find his equals and
sometimes superiors here in the persons Of boys and
girls not yet out Of their teens. The success Of
"Geneyievc de Brabant' has set all the publishers
OF work TO get out fantasies and potpourris OF It
without end, and next week the city will be Hooded
with them. We hope they will do better with the
music of this opera than they have done with the
other works OF Orenbach, for II deserves IL. Fam
