TASTE pour piano. f. Szemelenyi. A work possess
ing many merits and some faults. The latter come
first In the piece. We do not approve OF composer
breaking or in the middle OF subject into fan
tasia. II this Hungarian gentleman had given the
entire melody Of Crouch first, 80 that the picture
which he purposed TO retOuch was complete In
its original form, it would have been better
for him. Instead Of that he only gives
the first eight bars and then breaks the
theme by finishing 1t with little bankruptcies
for the right hand. After them came another COM
monplace variation, d Ia Maiden's Prayer. A pretty
left hand part accompanies the first part Of the
melody on page six. The succeeding variations are
snowy and brilliant, with the exception OF the
tremoO finale which is commonplace ana ineffective.
"Styrienne avec Vocalist" Szemelenyi. very
beautiful work. The composer has drawn heavily
on "D0n Giovanni" and Beethoven In some parts of
1t, but displays considerable ability In making an
Ineligible characteristic and well constructed work.
1t is not every one who can unite two such masters
with his own Ideas and build harmonious structure
