Mozarts Jupiter" Symphony Is OF the greater
classics Its proportions modest enough compared
with the length OF moderni works and its nsrI-
mentation judged from the standards of contemporary
schools, seems wonderfully quiet and unpretending
But no educated listener fail to recognize its real
BREADTH and dignity and strength, or to feel the DAu
ence OF that exquisite perception of the beautiful which
sheds such peculiar light everything that Mozart
wrote. Under Mr. ,Bergmanu'S sympathetic direction
the performance was approciatye and pOetical. 1t

Miss Henne deserves compliments for her good
taste in the choice of songs. and wish that every
lady who is hOnOred by invitation to sing before
the Philharmonic Society had correct idea
OF what is appropriate for such concert
II she lacks all the grandeur OF voice and
breadth of style which required for intensely ORA
matte music like Gluclfs celebrated soena size has at all
events artistic feeling and sho understands the
pathos of that noble composition. She gave also
refined and agreeable Interpretation OF Rubnstein's
beautiful songs ESQ Ask Not and "EchO), and left
upon her audience most agreeable impression. Mr.
GuyOn the pianist cannot be said TO have made dis
tnct impression of any kind. He began the familiar
Romance very well, with clear sonorous tone. dis
nct but graceful toucn, and wellmarked rhythm; but
the Rondo altogether commonplace.
