CARRIE BOWES.
Miss Carrie Bowes, a profile view Of
whose face appears above, is the solo
pianist who is to appear at the first or
the Capital Concert series in this city.
1t was her of whom the Chicago MI
sical Tines said: Miss Bowes showed
a wonderfully firm touch and brlllancy
of execution She is one of the greatest
artists of the age" Miss BoWes IS
Californian. A citizen of wealth sent
her from San Francisco to Europe some
time ago to study in her art, and she
returns across the Atlantic immediate
ly after the Sacramento concert 10
further study.
Says the San Francisco Cali: Hon
ors seldom accorded to a foreigner, ana
least frequently to an American, IN
Germany, have been wrung from one
of the highest musical centers OF Eu-
rope by a lad of 10 years, native OF
San Francisco, Albert E. Rosenthal, son
of Marcus Rosenthal, the well-knoWn
attorney, and nephew of Toby Rosen-
thai, the artist
The lad from earliest childhood dis
played a remarkable talent for music
and was led into taking up the violon-
cello. After receiving the best instruc-
ton possible here, he was taken to Eu-
rope a little over a year ago by ms
mother, who was also accompanied by
her little daughters. AT Stuttgart he
was placed under the tutelage of Pro-
fessor Richard Seitz, royal court virtu-
oso of the King Of Wurtemburg, who
is considered one of the greatest solo
lists of Europe. Under the instruction
of this artist he had to change his
methods to such an extent that he vir-
tually began his work anew.
On October 10th of this year a con-
cert was given by the artist class OF
the Royal Conservatory at Stuttgart at
the Liederhalle in honor of the birth
day of the Queen of Wurtefnburg. 1t
was attended by nearly 600 people, all
people of high musical culture. Among
the participants was young Rosenthal,
and of his performance the Stuttgart
"Merkur" had this to say:
Finally, we must speak of the ap-
pearance of one entirely new to the
public here, a most youthful person.
We refer to Albert Rosenthal of San
Francisco, Cal, who is but 10 years of
age, and whom Professor Richard
Seitz has already brought very far on
the violoncello. Everybody was amazed
to hear Golternlanns Concerto in G,
dur No 4, performed by mere boy,
and with such Skill and power as could
only be exhibited by born artist. His
execution was truly wonderful, and es-
peciallv was his performance remark
able for fullness and purity Of tone, ex-
cellent bowling and depth of feeling. His
playing disclosed how completely his
soul was absorbed in the music and
what extraordinary talents he pos
sesses. He completely captured the au-
dience and was enthusiastically recalled
three times"
Not only has he developed remarka-
BILE powers of Interpretation, but there
are also strong indications, declared
the musical coterie of Stuttgart, that
he would reach the highest excellence
as a great composer, judging from the
musical intelligence and imaginative
power that he has displayed.
So high has he risen above the ag-
gregation Of ambitious musical ability
that usually flows toward Stuttgart
that the artist class of the Royal Con-
servatory made a solitary exception In
hibiting any one under Is years Of age
becoming a member Of the class. This
was done to permit of his participating
in the concert mentioned. The young
prodigy will continue his studies in
Europe for some time.
Baroness Won Zedlitz, who was a
guest of Nine. Adelina Patti at Craig
y-Nos last summer, has published in
German review an account Of her So
journ at the singers castle. Among
other things, she writes concerning an
album containing the autographs. over
words of admiration, of many musical
celebrities of the last half-century.
Among the singers are Mario, Tamber-
lk. Niemann and Capoul who express
their admiration for the great soprano
in graceful, flattering verses There are
also pleasant phrases from Grisi, Alboni
and Christine Nilsson. Bars of music,
accompanied by words, have been writ

SIM, Meyerbeer, Auber, Gounod and
Bizet. Verdi has written the names OF
the three prima donnas who, to his
mind, have best interpreted La Ira

the following: ''D'abord Adelina. en-
suite Adelina, ct encore Adelina." FL
