LAST RECITAL OF THE
UNION MUSICAL CLUB.

The Union Musical Club and It's friends
were entertained last night at Memorial
Hall with recital by the Kneisel Quartet
OF Boston. The Union Musical Club is
composed OF women and gives Its recitals
usually on Saturday afternoon. when many
men are unable to attend. 1t was in de-
ference &c the men that the final concert
Of the season was given last night. The
hall was crowded so that 1t was impossible
to place more chairs.
1t was good to hear Mr.. Kneisers quar-
tet. but there is no cause to grow eloquent
over its performance. The string quartet
is supposed to be the vehicle Of chamber
music. Naturally one expects to hear this
music interpreted with extreme delicacy.
But the Kneisel Quartet, composed of gen.
tlemen who play in the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, has no rehearsal until the or
chestra season is over, and its work savors
of robustness. which seems inconsistent
with the subject.
1t was beautifully correct; there was no
flaw in the mechanical execution. But gen.
uine spirit was lacking throughout the re-
cital Or, II it was there, 1t was lost in
the noise. 1t would be difficult to say that 1t
was the fault of any particular performer,
unless blame could be fixed upon Mr.. Alvin
Schroeder. whose .violinceilo sounded like a
high. pitched double bass. and scratched ir-
ritatingiy. In the Chopin LentO he was ex-
cellent, but the quality of his work was
variable. Mr.. Frank Kneisers digital dex-
terity and agility are WONDERFUL. ana MS
bowling is as light and graceful as the swing
of a waltz. But 1t Is all conventional Mr..
Karl Ondrideck. the second violinist. was
not particularly notable, which is equivalent
to saying that he has cultivated seif-re-
straint to a degree which permits him to
play without an attempt at self-exhibition.
Louis Sveneenskfs played most pleasinsly
upon his viola.
The programme was made up Of compost
tfons culled from the very best of chamber
music. There was Beethoyen's quartet In
A ma jor; Rubinstein's Spear Music" from
Scherzo from the quartet in E minor, and
Tschaikovsky's quartet in major-which
is one of the most beautiful things ever
