spects. In the first place he is a man
Of noble presence. With the strength
Of giant he combines the tenderness
Of the child. His fine brown eyes
twinkle with merriment and beam On
one from under the broad benevolent
brow, but one would dread to meet the
same eyes when blazing with a sense
Of wrong offered a dependent being, a
woman or child.
His temperament is essentially finely
balanced. He is sensitive and impress
sionable, broad Of comprehension, quick
of intellect and of fine artistic percep-
ton. What greater combination could
be found, when coupled with an exact
ear and perfect time, for the forming Of
a great musician? And, truly, Hair is
a great musician, and not only that
but a great man~as~well.
Hairs performances In New York,
Boston and other cities of the East
have won forf.himD the plaudits alike
Of audiences and critics. In the one
place he appeared with that veteran
conductor, Anton Seidl, and his fam
Gus orchestra,q and at the other with
Emil Paur and the Boston Symphony
orchestra. 1t is interesting to note how
ances. In New York, the Commercial
Advertiser said:
''As for Carl HAIR, he is more than
mere master Of the violin. He is a.
genius and possesses the power to hold
his audiences sspellbound by the rare
tones which he brings from the strings
OF his instrument. Several times last
night the music simply melted away
and every man and woman in the audi
ence was leaning forward as if to catch
few additional notes, which were as
soft as they were sweet" y
What was said in New York was re-
peated in Boston, and in Brooklyn in
varying degrees of intensity. The
man was everywhere recognized as a
master and as an artist. He seems
to have appealed to audiences and to
critics first for the intelligent sincerity
which characterizes his Interpretation,
and after that for the virility of his
work, implying all that. that term
means. Technique is passed over in
almost contempt, for audiences had no
thought nor time for technique when.
to the accompaniment Of the greatest
orchestras in America, the masterful
Halir played that masterpiece Of the
violin literature of today. the -Beetho-
ven concerto 1t was grandly done,
and the matter of technique was insig:
nificant. There had to be technique or
there could not have been performance
so satisfying and complete
