Tho schmidt.Herbert Quartet.

The second concert Of tho Schmidt Herbert
Quartet was given last evening in Hardman
Hall before an appreciative audience. which
gave frequent testimony OF its enthusiastic
appreciation.
The two chief numbers OF the programme
were a quartet by Haydn. which was played
with exactly the spirit OF I'VE olden time" and
a modern work Of the Italian composer Baz-
ztni. o very dramatic and effective CONF posi-
ton. One OF the movements-tne Gavotte-
was redemanded and repeated.
The Chopin piano prelude adapted for In;
struments by Mr. Louis Schmidt wn4 played
too slowly for tho best results TO DO attained
from It. The Menuetto by Scho!z. which fol-
lowed 1t. WAS exguisitely rendered.
The most forcible and nrt istir portion ~ the
programme was Dir. Schmidt,s admirable
playing OF Bach's Chaconnn. In this most
dd!!nlfult compositi9n the ytGHnr artist ,tnt
quite phenomenal. and q technique which
Impossible, passages seem smooth and simple.
MIR. Schmidt infused real sentiment into the
work nlso, making by contrasts OF light and
shade tho most consistent and beautiful i'm
preston of mingled strength and serenity.
The club showed the SnnO largeness and
breadth Of tone that waS noticed as their
chief characteristic on the night Of the first
concert They also last evening played with
extreme dclicacy notably in the Largo" Of
Haende which Mr.. Schmidt used to answer
the encore given him after his telling solo per.
