virtuosos and its conductor but scarcely TO

modern hearer very deeply-not enough 10
ceal from him the exceedingly commonplace char
acter Of its musical structure, which, is the
case with most OF Berlozs other compositions, is
becoming and evident in these latter
days. Cesar Franck in his 'EoIides' had a much
less ambitious purpose in view than Berlioz, that
did include any dramatic exposition Of the poem
of Leconte de Isle cited in the programme the
immediate inspiration Of the work. Its themes
fragmentary and it leaves little more than I'M

Miss I.eouora Jackson was the solo performer.
She made a somewhat better impression than she
did her first appearance some weeks ago IN
Brahns's violin concerto, chiefly because Mendels-
sohn's is much nearer the level Of her capacities,
but she still failed TO show herself artist Of
power or individuality. She played huently and
in general with accuracy but her tone lacks charm
and her point Of view Of immature senti-
mentality. This did prevent extremely
friendly audience from applauding her with much
vigor and insisting on her frequent temperance
