JosEFFYs CoNoERr-A large and brilliant
audience assembled to hear Joseffy, the
pianist, last evening, at the Congregational
Church. The programme was as follows;
l. ta) Observation-Disclosures Wagner-Liszt
tb) Andante- Spiansto and Polonaise, Chop
in. 2. (al Gavotte. G minor, Bach fb) Ari-
cite di Balstto, Gluck-Joseffy; (e) Traeu-
merei, Schumann; (dl Tarantelle di Bravura,
List g. (a) Symmetrical" Flying Dutch
man" WegueT List; tbl Polka Noble, and
(e) The MIL Josefg; ta) Nocturne, d fat,
major, Chopin; lei Souvenir d'Amerique
(watlzes). ,.Jossffy. 4. Hungarian Rhapsodie,
List. Josefy's name belongs in the list of
phenomenal artists in the world of piaHists,
such as List. Rubeustein and Ketten. He
has not, Ia his plsying, the grace, the poetic
imagery, the Oriental luxury of expression
belonging to Ketten, but his playing is in
the highest range of the classical and is
marked by mathematical finish, and in
these respects he is not surpassed
by any who have played before Sacramento
audiscce. But artists are not to be judged
by comparison strictly. The merit of Jossfy
is original and stands ont as marked origin
atty. OF the numbers presented the = Tar
antelle di Brayura" was the most brilliant.
Il afforded a wider range for skill in mechan-
ical execution-pr presented greater difficulties
to be overcome, involving the extremes OF
greatest delicacy of touch, and the boldest
dashes into the heroic and daring. The
pianist in this piece was warmly encored.
and responded to the applause with the
"Fsntasie," by Gottschalk. which was
played here so acceptably by Ketten. An
other notable number Of the programme was
Spinnerlied-" Flying Dutehman." It has
never before been given here in the concert
hall. The auditors knew of it only by NOR
.cealt, such as presented by JoseffY last night.
The third specially notable performance Eas
the playing Of Lists s'Ssceud Hungarian
Rhapsodie," which was an exquisitely deli
cate and enjoyable number. Il is thought
by musical critics to be representation of
the superstitious piety and the careless, easy
life that characserizss European gypsies.
The bsst effects of Josefy's playing, like the
best results OF all musical performances of
the class in which he is distinguished, would
be realized IN concerto-his art is less appar-
ent because Of the absence Of orchestral
support.
