The second concert of the st. Paul
Choral association was give last night
at the Peoples church. The audience
was overwhelmingly so, but it was
not at all prompt. Notwithstanding
the earnest appeals of the director that
the dear public be in its several seats
with Its top coats and overshoeS off at
s O'Clock, the first number. which was
the bridal chorus from Rose Maiden. :"
by Gowen, was we'll over before the
stFagglers began to diminish.
Alfred Greenfield was greeted with
applause The first piano solo was
Beethoyen's "Andante Fayorlt," which
was played with breadth of movement
and dellcacy of coloring. Wagner
LISTS ''Isoldi's Liebestoa" followed.
The pianist's own arrangement OF some
Hungarian dances completed the trio,
and won determined and hearty encore
Herr Greenfield played the last number
with inimitable dash and fire, display
ing his mastery technique.
The part song, ''By the Old Church
DwelIs the Parson," by Hauptman, the
Choral association sang. as they habit
ualy sing, artistieally and we'll.
An andante from concerto, by Mo-
lique, introduced the cellOist. Heinrich
Greenfield, who is an artist. His bowling
is firm, yet delicate. and his sustained
tones unusually pure. Gabriel Marie's
whimsically gay LA Cinquantaine"
was exquisitely given. Moszkowski's
characteristic and interesting "Gui-
tarre' completed Herr Gruenfeld's
triple number, which was enthusiastic
ally encored
The Lullaby Of Life" by Leslie, gave
the association an opportunity-which
it is needless to say was improved-of
displaying its concerted ability. The
planiSSimo passages and the work done
throughout by the bassos are especially
commendable.
Alfred Greenfield returned with two
of Schumann's best known compost
tons, the 'Romanze" in d minor and
"Traumerei." They were given with
great delicaey and tenderness. The
players own fantasia on motives
from "Lohengrin" and "Tannhauser"
was the most enjoyable thing
he played. Wagner is sublimely
unique. and anything in the nature of
modification of an idea of the great
master invariably lacks the boldness
and strength of coioring of the original.

for one piano.
Loves Young Dream sung before
by the choral association, was enjoyably
rendered. Then came what was for
the association the success of the even
ing, Benedic's Hunting Song" given
with dash and spirit that fairly cap
tiyated the audience, and made response
to an encore imperative.
Etude. Chopin's opus 25, by Herr 81.
Greenfield, preceded the delicate, quaint
and always charming menuetto by
Boccherini. In contrast to the minuet
movement came Peppers virile "Vito,"
which was admirably expressed. The
'eelloist was compelled to respond to an
encore.
The last number of the choral associ-
alton was Faning's ''Song OF the Vik-
ings," given with great deal of eX-
preston and with accuracy.
Alfred Gruenfeld's most artiStically
played number was Chopin's Noe
turne in B major. 1t abounded in ex-
preston. and had yet clear cut def
niteness of conception and execution
that made it admirable. Chopin's MA
zurka." with all its abandon, came
next, and with mastery rendering of
auss-Gruenfeld's ''Soiree de vi
enne," one of the most thoroughly en-
Joyable concerts of the season closed.
