RuBiSsrrIS.-T Memphis Theaier
was crowded last night BY both fashion
able and musical people, who were
eager to hear Rubinstein, Wieniawski,
Ormeny and Liebhart. The programme
was made up from selections from Shu-
mann, Bellini, Vieuxtemps, Beethoven,
Bach, Mendelssohn and other eminent
composers. Rubinstein charmed all
with his wonderful execution on the
piano, and will make all future piano
playing in Memphis seem tame and in
sipid. We have already spoken OF
Rubinstein's general style and his claim
to the title of great artist, which he I'M
doubtedlyis. The piano in more senses
than one is a plaything in his hands, and
notwithstanding his wonderful mastery
over the instrument, his general style
indicates illimitable capacity for the de-
yelopmant Of still greater things. Like
all great musicians, his performances
seem to spring directly from inspira-
ton, as if it were whispered by some
presiding genius of the tone world and
pronounced by the responsive keys.
The other members Of the troupe acquit-
ted themselves with great eclat, and re-
ceived their due measure Of applause. \
