Blanche Marchesi, the Baroness Caccamfsi,
who is to appear here, may justly be regarded
as one of the most striking creations of her
mother, the famous singing teacher She was
born at Paris in 1868, the fourth daughter in
order. for another. Cornelie, followed. After
living In Cologne, she Joined her mother at
Vienna il 1869, and then went to school at
Frankfort-on-the-M Main. and in 1878, at Paris.
She had studied the violin, and returning to
Vienna, where she continued to study 1t under
cert given by her mother at the Theater an
der Wien, March IA, 1881. The summer of
that year found the Marchesis again in Paris,
and Blanche sang there for the first time
Dec 49, 1881, at matinee musicale given by
her mother. In 1882 Rubinstein was delighted
with her, and after she had sung some of his
songs he turned to the audience and said
"Voici une blanche qui vaut quartz noires.''

Rosenthal, who will be,the next artist in
the library series of concerts has just COM
pleted his series of five recitals in San Fran
CISCO at which nearly $28 coo passed into the
box office, tickets selling for So each. He will
cross the continent, and will reach st. Paul.
Feb. g.. H. NJ Bosworth has the following to
say in the San Francisco Examiner regarding
his second concert in that city:
Rosenthal must have considerable nerve
force. for If the impression made by his first
programme was conducive to enthusiasm
that which he left upon the minds of his
audience last night was like an electric thrill
Mosart sonata in A, containing a theme and
variations, which gave the homely sugges-
tion of an old friend to the, end of his pro-
programme. the interest and excitement Of
his wonderful playing were cumulative and
the climax almost terrific The B fiat minor
sonata of Chopin's offered a great contrast to
the simple one OF Mozart. 1t was Interrupted
with applause at the scherzo. The celebrated
funeral march which occurs in this work re-
ceived a superb reading The song part was
interpreted with pathetic reverence and the
march theme REQUIRED in a contrasting, sub
dued manner, like cortege of mourners leav-
Ing the grave of a loved one. No one could
ask for better reading Of this march. A
couple of preludes. etude in G fiat, which
had to be repeated and which showed Rosen-
that's superiority to De Pacrman, hitherto
my favorite interpreter of Chopin; and the
valse op. ~, which also had to be repeated
after the player had been recalled three times
by the Continued applause, concluded his Sc
lections from the works of this greatest poet
of the piano. who did more to make it a solo
instrument than any one else.
Rosenthal next essayed Brahms variations
on Paganln1 theme, one. of Paderwski's big
numbers. He made it SO. delightful by the
heard the Pole play it-a1id did not enioy it
the Germans reading seemed to make a new
thlng OF 1T and reused the audience to the
highest pitch. The glissando octaves were in
evidence in this number The applause was
uproarious.
Romance" proved to be delicate dain-
ty DIT OF tone poetry very creditable until sur
passed by "Papillons," which was SO instinct
with the very futter of butterfly wings as to
tickle every ear and increase ones respect
for its author. But the Vienna Carnival on
Themes From Strauss" was one of the most
ssuperbly bedeviled bits Of piano playing ever
heard. 1t left the audience in open-mouthed
aston1shment and laughing good humor
This concert revealed Rosenthal not only
to better advantage as a great executant but
strument. If he goes on improving in public
esteem at this ratio his subsequent achieve
ments will be beyond description. He has a
still more varied programme for Saturday
posers, but he can hardly more greatly please
his hearers than he did last night
Reserved seats can be obtained at Howard,
