The numbers given last evening by the
quartette. included two of Kaesemeier's
Bohemian folk songs, Tschaikowski's
"Andante Cantabile.' variations on the
Austrian national hymn and the andante

Especially artistic was the Tschaikowsl1i
number The strings seemed almost to
chant the singing melody, and the deeper
voiced instruments formed an admirable
background of sound for the more dell
cately toned violins. Carl Riedelsberger
played two solos, Romance. Wienfawsi,
and Joachims arrangement of Brahm' 8
