St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1889-06-04
apparently very difficult piece of Or
chestrai music. 1t is the sort of music
that makes mans soul rise above the

that makes mans soul rise above the
PETTY THINGS OF THE WORLD.
1t is enhancing music, and makes e.,
/ man wish that when he dies those lively
strains of Taubert mass will melt
! through the air and soothe his last aours
| with their melody. 1t is music of the
highest order. Following at once upon
this came piece of equally high merit
a piece OF different style, though
harmony. This was minuet
by Boccherini. The music almost
| made one imagine that one could see
| the stately forms of the men and mai
! dens of hundred years ago dancing to
| its rhythmic time. A large part of this
beautiful minuet is formed of theme
played by the violins in unison with
pianissimO accompaniment on the violas
and bass volS. Its finale is the loveliest
part of it, and gradually dies away,
getting softer and softer. DREAMER and
DREAMER, until at last it is no more
than a whisper. The last notes sound
like the echo. far, far away of the
theme which forms the main part
which broke forth when the last sweet
note had ''trembled away into silence"
was nothing short of whirlwind. 1t
was absolutely necessary to give an en-
core, and Zerrahn wisely repeated the
finale. Nine. Herbert-FOrSeter. dressed
in light dress of pink satin, advanced
to the place of disadvantage in front of
the flood of light, and sang ocean,
Thou Mighty Monster" from OberOn.
She has good mlzzo-soprano
voice of fair power and sings in
dramatic way. Her stage presence is
good, but she is getting a tritle embon-
point. The range of her voice is eX-
tensive, but at times her low notes are
not quite as audible as they might be.
This was attributable to the Orches-
in a very fine piece of singing.
The selection given last evening
scarcely displays her fine voice to as
great advantage as would something
from Wagner, still she made fine inn
preston, and deserved the recalls she
received. Then Miss Adele Aus der
Ohe, the favorite of st. Paul music
lovers, advanced, her young form
clothed in a dress of pale blue satin.
The Steinway grand was opened, and
the young girl took her place among
the black-coated musicians. A rub
of her hands on handkerchief
and she was ready. A smile to Zerrahn
announced this fact, and the conductors

ton. The moment Miss Aus der Ohe
touched the keys those who had never
heard her play before were convinced
that she is pianiSte of marvellous abil-
ity. How does she play? That is QueS-
ton which cannot be answered. No
pen is sufficiently graphic to describe
her performance. 1t must be heard to
be understood She extracts from the
piano chords and phrases such as few
but her immortal master ever produced.
Her technique is superb and her touch
absolutely perfect. but the great beauty
of her playing lies in the soul that she
throws into her very touch.
She used no music sheet last
night, but played the concerto
in E flat from memory. This concerto
is a lengthy and difficult piece in
LISTS best and most florid style.
While the trumpets blew their most
fortissimO tones, her slim. girlish fin
gers could be seen rising and falling
from the height of her head to the keys,
eliciting from the piano chords that
rang through the trumpet notes as clear
as a bell. The softer passages were
brought forth with feeling and
tenderness that seemed almost impos-
sible before hearing her. The second
part of the concerto starts most Deautl-
fully, after Few SECONDS OF UedO
silence, with theme opened on the
violins, in which the triangle plays a
most prominent and exquisite part.
After a few bars of this the piano takes
up the theme and develops it with an
arpeggiO accompaniment on the
stringed instruments. The finale is
grand with the theme brought out
by the brass in forte fortissimo.
A storm of long continued applause was
replied to five times, and at last Miss
Aus der Ohe blushingly consented to
favor the audience again. A
lovely gavotte by GODDARD was
what she chose, and its brilliant
music was perfectly played by
the accomplished virtuosO. This fin-
ished the first part of the programme,
and few minutes rest was taken be~
