Heard-Sembrich Opera Company
Musical Notes.

Members of the Amphion Club have been
| exerting all their. musical energy for the
| past two months under the able leader
| ship of Director Ernestinoff, in the prep
| aration OF the numbers to be rendered by
| them at their concert Wednesday night of
| the current week in the auditorium OF the
German House. Mr.. Ernestinoff has ar
ranged an unusually bright programme, In
GLIDING 'Moonrise." pretty lyric compo-
sition; 1.-The Toreador.'' a Spanish song
with baritone solo. which will be taken by
Mr.. Louis j. Dochez; Cavalry Song" an
effective and dashing military composition.
Following the policy adopted at its last
concert, the club will also introduce several
American folk songs. At the urgent solicit
tation of many who attended that event,
THE Death of Mighty Pan" will be re-
peated.
Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the distinguished
young Russian pianist, who is to be the
soloist of the evening, is possessed of all
the transcendent skill, strength and variety
of resource that go TO make up the modern
virtuosos equipment. With it all. he COM
bines an uncommon polish and finish OF
style, an ease and smoothness of execution,
repose in the midst of besetting difficult
ties that cannot fail to command admira-
ton. With large measure of strength.
he unites an extreme refinement, a sensi
tiveness to the minutest graduation of dy
manic effect and delicacy of nuance that
give his performance the exquisite finish
Of cameo. Nor is he lacking in breadth
of view or in strong and virile conception
in the manliness that cherishes tenderness

them real and living to those who hear.
Schuman's Carnival. in which NJ. Gabrilo-
witsch will introduce himself to the In
dianapolis public. is probably the best
known and most widely played of all the
large works Of the great romantic COM
poser. 1t is a peculiarly felicitous choice
for such an occasion, as 1t is a compost
ton entirely untrammeled by precedent In
its Interpretation, and, owing to Its SUBJ
jectivity, especially adapted TO the express
sion of the performers individuality. I'm
doubtedly the finest rendition of 1t ever
heard here was from Paderewski who in
this number eXcelled himself and did the
finest work of his whole programme. 1t is,
accordingly, with intense interest that NJ.
Gabrilowitsch, who in Europe Is ranked
with Paderewski, will be heard In this same
number
The Rubenstein number Will also be
lodestar of attention, owing to the great
similarity noted by critics in the playing
or this young VlrtuS0 10 tnat OF MS ma1eS-
tic master and friend, 'the lion of the key
board" while in the Liszt Rhapsodie No.
s, the heights of the most modern and SEN
sational technical mastery will be revealed.
