The Adamowsk Qnartette.
Once in great while a thorough music
lover listens to concert that seems to
approach MS near perfection as is possible.
Such WAS the case with the concert given
at Kotzschmar hall last evening. under

Interpretation of cham Der music there is
probably no string quartette in this
country that can surpass, and only one
that possibly can equal, the quartette,
composed of Mr.. Timothee Adamowski,
Mr.. Arnold Moldauer, Mr.. Max Zach,
and Mr.. j. Adamowski. The two
Adamowski brothers are host in them
selves, and Messrs. Moldauer and Zach
are finished artists. Mr.. Zach's piano

tette that has not been said before. Their

Tschaikowsi andante, where one could
have averred French horn was en-
ployed. And speaking of the andante

played. AS has been said sit is revela-
ton of beauty. perfect in tone color, IS
we'll as in expression and feeling Both
the brothers Adamowski we're encored
after their solos and responded. Would
| that we could have 10 ore of these musical
| revelations.
