The v uentefering Recital.
Tuesday evening Mde. Muentefering and a
number of her pupils gave a thoroughly ar
tistic piano recital at ''Loravilla, the pretty
home of Mayor aud Mrs. Cushing, on Twen-
ty-fifth avenue. The house is nicely adapted
for entertainment such as that of Tuesday
evening; the p~arIors are long aud afford
ample opportunity for the comfortable seat
ing of guests. In addition the rooms were
prettilv decorated with autumn flowers, hot
house plants, palms and many stands of
chrysanthemums. The chandeliers were
heavy with smilax, and throughout a dis
eliminating taste was shown which greatly
pleased those present.
Mde. Muentefering, who occupies a high po-
sition in the local musical world as a thorough
teacher of the pianoforte, has every reason
to feel proud Of the success her recital
achieved. While nervousness on the part OF
some OF the PLAYERS was quite apparent,
while now and then wrong notes were struck
and runs slurred. taken all in all it was so
excellent that Mde. Muenteferlng deserves to
be congratulated upon the very happy out
come of her first public recital OF the season.
Several very promising pinaistes were in
troduced, Miss Clara HaWley, Miss Lora
Gushing, Miss McShane, Mrs. Buchanan. Miss
Broderlck and Miss Grace Detweiler being

ton in passing.
Miss Clara Hawley's playing of the
''Andante and Rondo Capriccioso" of Men
delssohn was a thoughtful Interpretation of
a great masters celebrated composition. The
tempo was well taken, and a nice discrimin-
alton shown In the use of the pedal. 1t
showed careful, conscientious study and
ranked among the pleasuraDle performances
of the evening.
Miss McShane was heard to excellent ad-

The young lady excells in attack, her phras-
ing, too, being a subject OF favorable com
ment.
Miss Lora Gushing with Mrs. Muentefer-
ing played a pretty arrangement of"Marthan
Flotow's effective ramat story in q
trustworthy manner. She Is an enthusiastic
pupil, and reflects the art of her teacher
more, possibly, tnan any OF her associates
on the program.
Mrs. j. II. Buchanan has a crisp, effective
touch, and her playing of "Rondo opus 1917
by Chopin, with Mrs. Muentefering at the
second piano, was a treat to listen to.
Miss etwei is a promising pupil, so
much so that she gives promise of being
heard from later in the musical world. Miss
Lucy Broderick is also a painstaking pupil,
whose playing Tuesday evening was thor
oughly up TO tho excellent Standard set by
the instructor.
Two of the younger members Of the class
also made their initial bow before an audi
ance. Misses Bessie Peck and Miss Mary
Barker and their Interpretation of "William
Tell" was, Notwithstanding their years, a
feature of Il most excellent program.
MIR. Kinzie varied the Instrumental part Of
the evening by the rendition of several vocal
numbers, chief of which was Steintagen's
sentimental ballad, You" which won an
Mr.. Kinzie's voice is particularly
adapted to ballads. 1t is sweet and pure,
forceful in the upper register and such a
voice that women go in ecstacies over.
Madame Mueutefering not content in ap-
pearing with her pupils gave two solos, the
SONATA Mol op ~" by Schubert, and the
Last movement concerto No. ~ by Mendel-
ssohn. Her Interpretation of Schuberts
musicis worthy of all praise. He is one of the
madame's favorite composers and you may
always be certain of hearing one Schubert
number when Mde. Muentefering is an
nounced on a program. The sonata was
played much faster than is usual with her,
and it was thoroughly reminiscent of
D'Albert, whose love for this famous master
is proverbial. Tho Mendelssohn number
t~ittingly concluded the program, the big card
being reserved for the last. And it was given
with q finish that brought enthusiastic APP
plause. Miss Broderick particularly dis
tinguished herself in the orchestral accom-
paniment on the second piano, showing a
musical mind which quite delighted the art
lovers present.
