The Mendelssohn Quintette.

The Boston Quintette Club filled Mason
ic Hall on Wednesday night with very
appreciatiye audience. Except one mem
her. Mr.. RYAN, they are all new members
of the organization. The violinist, 1sidore
Schnitzler. is a young man only twenty
one years of age, Hebrew, and will be in
time the finest violinist of the age. His
tone is better than Listerman's though his
execution is not. That broad sonorous
tone. the effect of the bowling. showed that
he is master of his art. It is preferable in
quartette over solo playing and is especial
ly adapted to classical music. HIS oest
display was in the Scherzo from Ruben
stems OPP. 80.
The performance of VIM. Schade on
cha tsute was marvellous and his double
topguing excited the wonder OF every ones
His very highest notes are all fiute-ilke anc
having nothing shrill or noisy about them
Frederick Giese, the violincello perform
er is perfection sn both tone and execution
and we doubt if he GAS a superior IN the
world.
MIR. RYAN. while an artist of the highest
class with the clarinette, was unfortunate
in his selection Of music and did not ap'
pear to his usual advantage. Miss NelilRl
made the. same mistake but redeemed it IN
