The MendeIssohn Quartette.
To demonstrate the falsity Of the
Slurs often cast on St. PauPs power of
appreciating good music the audience
at the Peoples church last night should
have been about four times as large as
1t was. The array of empty seats really
gave good reason for the belief that the
people of this town are not fond ofhigh
class entertainments. The New York
Ghlharmonlc club. composed of
Eugene Weiuer, flute; Ernst MaiIr,
yiOloncellO; Friedhold Hemmanl,yiola
John Marquardt, violin; Sebastian Laen-
dner, violin; August Kalkof, double bass
is worthy a warmer reception. The
programme opened with the SeXtette
Opus 81 of Theodore Gouyy, Pastoral"
and "Rondo," which were composed and
dedicated to the New York PhiIhar-
monte club. In concerted playing the
club is especially happy. A violoncello
solo, In the Moonlight, and AT the
Fountain" by G. Dayidoff, played by
Mr.. Mahr, was the next number. Mr..
Mahr'S excellent execution and color
ing called forth such hearty applause
that us an encore he played Il maZurka
by Pepper. Miss Marion s. Weed sang
La Capinera," by Benedict, solo for
meZZo soprano, with flute Obligato by
Mr.. Weiner Miss Weed has an UNI
usually clear and flute-like voice, with
admirable method and placing. AS an
encore she sang one of Ned-
linger'S characteristic songs, Robin"
The Philharmonic clubs next number
was Romance" by q. Hollaender, and
Spanish Dance" by f. Corven. The
NJ "a
Mr.. Marquardt'S violin solo, "Othello
Fantastic" by f. Ernst, was marvel of
firm yet delicate bowling. AS recall
he played Ries' "Perpetuum Mobile"
Two yiolins, Il viola and tile cello
played from Opus 50, of Beethoven, the
"Alenuetto GraciosO." and the ALLEGRO
Motto" very delightfully."-. William
POpp'S rhapSodie, ''Hongroise." was
played as flute solo by Mr.. Weiner
Mi. Weiner eXcels in phrasing and in
the pure and sustained quality of his
flute tones. As an encore he gave a
nightingale song. also by Topp.
Schumanh'S familiar ''Traumerei"
was the next number, by the entire
club, and was played eXqnisitely. In
vivid contrast came E. Gillet's gay
souvenir de Paris" Miss Weed sang
two songs. "Since First | Met Thee"
bN "a. ItuOtuSlClii, anu CCuuDt1l , OH-
geduid." So charming was her rendi-
ton that after repeated recalls she re-
turned with an Arditi waltz. '.Parla, p
which displayed The fexibility of her
voice admirably. The concert closed
with b. Bilse's sweet ''SiIesian Songs"
by the New York Philharmonic club.
The musicale given by the Mendels-
sohn male quartette at the Y. NJ. C.. A.
association hall last evening was very
we'll attended. The programme en-
braced many good selections, which
were admirably rendered. The quar-
tette, composed of j. F. Merrill. first
tenor; A. s. Willoughby, second tenor;
ID. f. CoIville, baritone, and Charles
De Lacy, bass, was assisted by Ernest
Willett, violinist.
Many encores were given, especially
TO MIR. Willett. whose playing was one
OF the best features of the evening The
next concert will be given OH Nov. II by
Mr.. Willett. assisted by some of our best
musical talent.
