HINSDALE, N. H.
Miss Carrie steNrns Gaining Fame as a
Pianist.


Miss Carrie j. Stearns of the class of '94,
who has been studying music in Worces-
ter for the past three years, gave recital
recently in that city and later in Mantle,
Conn. The following is taken from the
Worcester paper
Miss Carrie +. Stearns, pianist was the
principal performer at the recital last even
ing, in the rooms of the Worcester County
Music school. The program consisted Of
selections that ranged from the hymn-like
movements to the most passionate com
positions, in all of which Miss Stearns ac-
quilted herself creditably and gave proof
that she has an unusual command over
the technique of the piano. She began with
ballad of "Reinecke," and then played
a Concert Etude", by the woman
pianist and composer, Aus der Ohe. Two
numbers from List emphasized the versa
tility of the composer and of the player as
well. From the prayer-like "Andante and
Finale" from Lisz's "Benedicton de Dieu
dams la Solitude" to the composers second
polonaise was a long step, but the contrast
was not too great for Miss Stearns, and she
played two compositions with equal
skill, overcoming astonishing difficulties
of execution in the polonaise with ease.
Her other numbers were Pensen's "Con-
zonetta," Sapellnkoff's "Dans des Efes, +"
and Chaminade's Caprice Espagnole.'
