The death of Verdi will remove from
the rank of italian composers the only
really great figure. His growth from the
trivialities Of the merely lyric school to
the temperamental phraseology Of the
late musical utterance Is a matter Of
history. Withal he preserved the gra-
cious spirit of Italian melody and main
tanned the national characteristics
throughout the inspiSed themes of his
latter utterances. Nothing more marked
in contrast to Verdi's methods can be
quoted than the unsuccessful attempts
of the new Italian school to worship at
the affairs Of strange gods The most
notable failures of late are said to be
Leoncavallo'g 'tZaza" and the much-her-
aided "Maschere'' of Mascagni. Verdi,
intense in nationality, will remain a
name honored in annals artistic and pa
triotic when the chaotic utterances of
the new Italian school shall have been
forgotten.
The announcement that Ossip Gabril-
owitsch the Russian pianist, is to give
a recital in ST. Paul Feb. 10 at the
Central PRESBYTERIAN church has been
followed by much speculation as to what
he will play. Mr.. Gabrilowitsch has sub
mitted three programmes on all of which
Chopin and Schumann's names appear
preceded by two or three compositions of
each. Two of his own compositions, the
Petite Serenade" and gavotte ID
minor also find a place. Perhaps the
most satisfactory OF the programmes is
one that includes Teccata and Fugue, u
minor, Bach-Tausig; Carneval, Schu-
| mann; Nocturne, ID fiat MAJOR, Etude
&C MAJOR, Prelude &c minor, Polonaise
CA fiat, major, Chopin; Hungarian
Rhapsodfe, No. 8, List; LAIouette,
Glinka-Balakirew; and Gavotte Cd mi
