Master Willis shelton IL TO give an organ recital
In the Metropolitan VI. r. church. The Brighton
(England) RfdmineT Of July II, isIi During the
past week we have been favored with an oppor-
tunlty OF hearing the performance Of young
organlst OF extraordinary ability at the Pavilion
Dome, where he has been practicing for few
days on the nne organ there. This youth, Master
Willis shelton, Ia the son Of Charles 7. Shelton,
esq, OF New Haven, Conn, U. y. A., and with hts
father Is making European tour for the purpose
Of improvement, aud not with any professional
view. We heard him play Bachs "Fague," in A
minor-One OF the most dinicult, II not the most
dficult OF the compositions OF that great master.
The ease and facility with which he mastered Its
complications would have been remarkable In an
old and practlced organist, but in a youth like
him II was simply wonderful. Nor was he less
successful In one Of Handel's organ concertos,
(the nfth,l In which the various movements were
performed In q truly mastery style the organ
enects, from the Rrandest and most powerful 10
the softest and most rnelOdious, being rendered
with the most exquisite discrimination. "God
Save the Queen" with eNtempore variations,
was also triumph Of artistic effort; aud the
manner In which one Of the variations was per-
formed upon the pedals alone Was really won
derful IL was specimen Of pedipulatiOn such
as we have never before witnessed, and called
forth the remark Of veteran musical critic who
was present: 81 am lost In astonlshment.' His
extsmpoaneous playing was no less astOnish.
lsht proving him 10 be genuine musical genius,
and not q so-caled precociOus performer who has
been coached up TO sensational capabilIty.
