KETTEN AND HIS REcITALs.-At the con-
clusion Of Henry ketten's second piano re-
cital that artist was the recipient of an in
vitation from John Mcneil to visit his resi-
dence and meet few ladies and gentlemen
of Sacramento, who take great interest in
music art, and the invitation was modesty
accepted. The evening was spent in social
intercourse and the consideration of music
TOPICS and during the reunion re-
freshments were served by the hostess.
The compliment thus extended was a tiatter-
ing one, and was in recognition of the
mastery skill of Ketten. Socially, he in
terested those who met him, very much.
His second recital here deepened the im-
preston made upon the first evening of his
appearance. The highest office of art in
music, is expression, the awakening of
emotions responsive to the thought and pur-
pose of the theme. Ketten, in doing this
with the success already noted, invites by
every touch the least learned in the teohni
calities of music, to study of his
methods of Interpretation. There is scarce
an auditor who is not speedily brought
close to the player by sympathy.
No artist can place himself beyond the realm
of criticism, especially of that order which is
the spontaneous result of feeling nor can he
| become so exalted in his art as to pass the
comprehension of any hearer who has even a
| slight conception of melodic combinations
and owns to their influence but, as with
ketten, the artist may win his hearers so
speedily and thoroughly, that the cultured
| student of music will not feel called upon to
apply an analytical scalpel to his methods.
| 1t Is, indeed, ketten's sympathetic interpre-
tations, his warmth and tenderness, which so
speedily make the auditor his friend. This
was especially noticeable at the last recital in
his solo upon the great organ, which he gave
by special request, and In his own composition
"Serenade Espagnole." Mrs. McNeill sang
twice during the recital, and received a
marked welcome. The desire to hear Ketten
again has brought on foot a movement to
have him give third recital here, probably
this week. The recitals already noticed have
| been under the efficient management of L. X.
Hammer.

familiar in the neighborhood with lambs, pigs
