To record our impression, we shall
itcmize the performance as follows: The
"AlpenhornS piano solo, by Prof. Kryter,
was for a soiree o little too lengthy, and
for this reason TO many little tireSome,
but was we'll played and evinced the care.
full study Prof. Kryter gives TO all his
pieces.
"Only to Love" sang by Mr.. Jas. Haigh
was maiden effort, and very satisiac'
tory one for him, only he wants q little
more confidence. The "senata Patheti-
que" played By Prof. Nicholl, was given
with an expression which went to the
hearts OF the hearers. The beautiful
"Adagio" was touchingly played, and in
quiet contrast to the allegro so full OF
vVigor and passion and SO effectively
played with SO quiet move ofthe hands:
Miss Annie Benders, "Forget me Not"
displayed good voice fairely, and with
study she will make good singer.
"Der Freischutz," received rendition
from Mrs. sheib, deserving Of all that
can be said in the way OF praise. To con-
fess wc were surprised ut the dramtic
lervor she put into this difficult drid,
and 1t explains the high estimation in
which she is held abroad where she is
better known than in this place, her pre-
sent home. We congratulate ourselves
on having 80 able n musician amongst
ia. Prof. Kryter played the "Huguenot
Fantasia" with vim and thorough ap.
probation OF Thalberg's composition,
and we cannot fnd words to convey more
fitting praise than that 1t was we'll played.
Mr.. A. w. Dauel, sernaded the audience
with beautiful song, and il he sings it
as we'll under the window Of
his sweetheart well We won't
speculate. Mrs. Sheib sang "The
Flower Song" in captivating way,
and eyinced the ability 10 grapple with
the lighter class Of music with tho more
dramatic in pleasing way. A pleasing
finale to the soiree were the two airs,
"Comin' Thro' tho Rye" and "Robin
Adaif," varied SO prettily by Kuhe and
80 bewitchingly played by Mr.. Nicholl.
Altogether this was most enjoyable
evening, and the ladies and gentlemen
who gave this soiree deserve the most
hearty thanks Of the hearers. To Mr..
Sheib, whose simon pure love Of music
prompts him to give free these musical
evenings, we think the lovers OF music
will award need Of praise he most GER
tainly deserves. The next soiree will be
given in January sometime.
