SELF. an Italian pianist, was heard for the
first time in Washington yesterday after
neon at the Columbia Theater. The audi

clined to reserve its judgment, but finally
it warmed up 10 enthusiastic applause,
moved thereto by the excellent work of the
young player. He is probably not over
twenty-one, although it is alleged that he
IS still a couple of years short of his ma
jority. His work shows the result of care
full and industrious study, his technical
skill being remarkable for clearness and
firmness of touch, and great facility of exc
cution. His first number, the Bach-Tausig
Tocata and Fugue, was executed with
splendid distinctness and CELEBRITY, and was
