CLAVIER SCHOOL RECITAL.
The Virgil Clavier school gave their
regular weekly recital last evening. The
spacious hall belonging to the school,
was filled with represen tative gathering
of musical and fashionable people, who
evinced their keen pleasure by frequens
applause Miss Bertha M. Frost was
the pianist, and some idea OF the hlgn
grade of work accomplished in this sonoof
can be gained by glance at the follow
| ing programmes:
Bach, Aria, My Heart Ever falbniui
Beethoven, a,
Sonata, OPP. 10, No. 2. Allegro, AL
legretto, Presto
| Chopin, Preludes, Nos. 4. and 20
Jersen Barcarolle
Schutt RoEanza
Schubert, Impromptu. Op. 14S, No. 3
| Schytte, Berceuse, Up. 90 20. .
| Bartlett. Polka de Concert, OPP. l
Miss Frost is young girl, but the
above programme would tax the abilities
of many good pianists twice her age; her
playing is sympathetic and brilliant the
touch is surely crystalline with ME
singing quality. The entire programme
was played from memory. AT the close
of the recital Mr.. Rankin and Miss Frost
were warmly congratulated.
