THIRD VIOLIN MUSICALE
On Saturday afternoon the charming
home of Mrs L. ". Clapp was opened
TO the ladies Of the city for the third
voilin musicale of the season. The beauti-
full rooms of the commodious mansion
presented q very charming and animated
appearance during the social half hour
which preceded the unusually interest
Ing program.
Asuite of three short poems by Robert
Schunan, formed the Introductory vio-
lin recital. These selections are distinctly
Schumannesque in STYLE, concise. way
ward, technically finished to a high de-
gree and with the true charm Of this
masters manner.
The Ahendlied and Traumerie in the
second number are particularly melodious
and full of sentiment, two of the romantic
stories, which reflected the varying
moods Of the author while counting Clara
Week. These three little works are
justly favorites and Mr.. Staples played
them with clearness and elegance and
with perfect comprehension of Schu-
manns subtle profundity, in even his
simplest musical expressions.
BY special request the Andante move
ment from Mendelssohn's Concerto in +
Minor, was repeated from 4 former pro-
gram. This number was particularly
well received a. it is piece suited u Mr..
Staples manner, while the accoSnpani-
ment was very brilliantly and artistically
played by Mrs. r. P. Kelso, who is singu-
larry gifted in her appreciation of this
part.
The second part of the program wss
devoted to the works OF Franz Schubert.

creation and is parable of his life, alb /

Mr.. Staples played this Symphony with I

and the finale number ''Monente Must /

feet by Mr.. Staples and his talented /
young pupil. Miss Fanny Leighton.
The vocal numbers Of the program were |
given BY Miss Eudora Woods. a charm ing /
and talented young artist. in whom Wich- !
tans feei especial pride and interest. /
They sang ''To Be Sunny on the Water" /
a lively bit of water moonshine, set in a /
perfect frame OF musical poetry.
Many little romances have been woven
around the well known "Serenade" the
heroine Of which is supposed to be Caro-
line. the young countess Of Esterhazy, /
and which was first sung in a fragrant
German garden at birthday fete. For |

The exacting piano part for the violin
