Rubinstein Sonata was the most interesting fea-
so little Of his music has been
heard during lis stay here. Rubinstein has ap-
sonata for the first time presented him as .
composer of a sustained work. It is superply
instrumented and the four movements are fuA
Of beautiful md sometimes unique suggestohs'
especially the afddnte. The music a7 Is un7
like any other, and belongs tS a. schoo, 4;,a

mum, and that there is nothing more to be
accomplished, aud that the great artists and
composers have finished their mission, but
here is Sonata Of his Own Writing WHICH q5 d,s IS
promise Of new school of music.
If the old forms are disappearing, here Is the
starting point for the new-the music OF the
future, Of which Richard Wagner and Anton
different methods to the same end. The vocal
parts Of the programme were more acceptable
than thoy have been on any other occasion dur
ing the week, particularly Nile. Liebharts sing

full of characteristic fioriture, and was sung IN
very tuneful way and with some remarkably
nice and clear trills and runs. At the close it
was greeted with a demonstration Of applause
from one part Of the house, which WAS met with
q decided demonstration Of displeasure from an
other part, and for few minutes there was
quite an animated contest, which ended
eventually in the triumph Of Liebhart's friends.
Tho vocalist reappeared and sang for
an encore, sob! Dear, What can the Matter Be?"
which was very apropos to.the previous contest,
but WAS hardly apropos to Rubinstein concert.
AS usual, there was certain number Of Doors
heavy strides, and slamning doors. The annoy
ance became SO great during RubinBteins last
number that he was obliged to stop in the midst
Of one Of his pieces, and, on two
or three subsequent occasions, it WAS
with difficulty that he could proceed at all.
Once before he has been annoyed in similar
manner and compelled to stop. The manage
ment Of the theatre owe it to their musical
patrons to devise some means to stop such dis
graceful proceedings, or they will drive musi-
not been night this week which has been free
from these Interruptions, which not only annoy
artists on the stage, but the larger part Of the
audience, ALSO
This afternoon the last concert of the season
will be given with the following excellent pro-
gramme

Yesterday afternoon Rubinstein visited the
Chicago Musical College, in company with
Wieniawski and Rembielinski, the accompani6t,
upon the invitation OF Mr. Ziegfeld, the Direc-
tor, where they were received by the pupils and
few invited guests. A welcoming speech was
made by George F. Root, the President Of the
College, to which Rubinstein replied in
IN English speech, in which he a1-
luded to the way the musical s'chil-
dren OF Chicago were being prepared for
their professional work, and expressed his be-
lief that after they had completed the course in
the college they would 20 forth to lead others
in the true road to art. After the speeches, the
ladies present were presented to Rubinstein.
Several pupils of the College played and sang,
eliciting warm praise from him, and then lie
himself played three pieces, which closed 3
merry pleasant occasion.
