A MUSICAL PRODIGY.


Who Rivals Josef Hofmann
Washington Letter.
There is a little girl here who has in her the
making of greater musical marvel than Josef
Holman.
She is only four years old. and plays on the
violin and piano with skill she is the daughter
of Representative Dunn, of Arkansas She is q
wonderfully bright little thing, and perfect
enthusiast over music. There IS nothing child
ish in her enthusiasm. She talks like learned
professor of harmony, and is extremely critical
IN her Judgment of the performances of Others.
Sometimes ner mother will play on the piano
while she accompanies with the vioin- The
child will never strike false note or get out OF
time But if the mother makes the least mis-
take the little child becomes quite impatient
She detects an in a moment and it
seems to Jar all through her nerves. she will
stamp her little foot and show other signs OF
cispleasure-in a nervous not an irritable man
ner She is a very sweet-dispositoned child.
All her playing is by note She informed me
that she played by only once, and never did
II again because her teacher told ner not TO.
She loves to talk in q womanly way about mu-
sic, and will tell all about how she first found
out that she liked it and could learn TO play.
She played her first little piece. she says after
two lessons
Mr.. Dunn is quite proud of her genius, but
Is constantly trying TO curb It because OF a fear
that it may prove hurtful to her constitution.
He told me the other day that when An ME
THAT is her namel Was two or three years old
she showed a great aptness for memo rizlng
poetry that was read to her, and that she would
repeat q dialogue of two parts, suiting her voice
TO each part very cleverly. Six or eight
months ago she went to visit little friend
eral years older than herself, who just be-
ginning to take lessons the piano. In talk
ing over this, little Annie Dunn showed such
understanding of the subject that IT
folks. It was found that, in the
short time the children were amusing them
selves with the discussion she had acquired
about all the knowledge the teacher had inn
parted to her friend. Annie was given term
of music Just to see." She took up the piano
and violin. and can now play BOTH not like
German professor but as well many grown
up people who are not ashamed to play for
company.
She reads music we'll, and comprshends it in
a way that is a wonder. She loves to discuss
the subject, and it il difficult. her father says
to keep her from devoting most of her time to
music. When it found what rapid strides
she made, she was taken from the Professor
least harm might result.
She is a rosy checked little girl, small even
for the age of four. with chubby child face
and very bright eyes and clear voice and ready
powers of conversation. She told me that she
was going TO begin playing on theiorgan soon
