The soloi>ts at the last Manuscript
Music concert, of Philadelphia. were
| Emil Held, who played his own compo-

/ ton, soprano, who sang Gertrude II.
/ Swlii's three songs. The young lady has
a voice OF pleasant, sympathetic quality,
although not Of consistent 'lImbre"
throughout its compass, being rather
coudel in its lower and acceplabIy bril-
! liant in its upper departments. She sang
! with modest assurance that was ad.
mirable. For the concerted instru-
mental work the Beethoven String Quar-
son, pianist, in the quintette, and DR..
keffer, Messrs. Roller Meyer and Fass-
hauser as additional strings in the Cauff-
! mann rhapsodie. In view of the fact
that the membership is at present about
/ 100 and the attendance at the concerts
barely half thai number, few Of whom
are members, the idea suggests itself that
when the individual member takes more
interest in his brothers work it is barely
possible the public will reward him
corrcspondingly. Thus far this season
( the attendance OF many prominent mem
/ bcrs seems to be conditional upon the
display OF their work.
