Midweek Notes of the Musicians and
Actors.
1t is surprising that Scharwenka, whose
name as a composer for the pianoforte is
known the world over, does not attract
larger audiences o the California Theatel.
He has been copiously heralGed by the
local ID usicians and music critics, and his
first recital of Tuesday night proved him
to be a pianist of scholarly mind and
splendid technical accom- plishment.
Yesterday afternoon occurred the Sec
ond OF his recitals; the programme was
made up of Chopin's Andante Spinato
and Polonaise, op. %, and the A fiat waltz,
LiSzt's SchiIermarsch, several of the
shorter pieces of Schumann and four of
Scharwonka's own-and yet the audience
was mere handful. The lover of music
for music's sake should enjoy Schar-
wenka's playing, for while it is conserva-
tive IN some degree It is marked by cath
oliC judgment and delightful finger facll-
itY. He is in every way capable of exc
cutting his own interpretations, and these
interpre ations are in many instances rev.
