| Second to nothing that has been heard |
here this season viii be kocian, the young
| Bohemian violinist, who will appear in !
| plymouth church, Tuesday evening, |
March "A. This remarkable young man |
| has for himself position in the |
violin world which is at once the admira-
ton and despair of many violinists and
that IN q, wonderfully snort space Of time.
! Sent to the Prague conservatory at the |
age of IL. he became the pupil of the
great Sevcik. In six short years he burst
upon the world OF musicians as vir
tuOso, and made his claims good. He has
Two marked characteristics, a technique l
which is absolutely flaWlesS and a soul
which appreciates and interprets the pas Z
sion and warmth of music with a certain
i ty that appeals to and attracts his lis
teners.
J, Kocian's repertoire is most extensive,
and is said to equal that Of any violinist
ever before the public. Ernst, Beethoven,
Bach, Paganini, Grieg, Sarasate, all flow
from his bow and violin as easily and
, fluently as melody in spring. Kocian is
master of his violin and all music seems
5 to appeal to him with equal force, whether,
t it is the pyrotechrics of Paganini. the
! immense technical difficulties of Ernst
the severe classicism of Beethoven, or the
tender beauty of Mendelssohn. He is
; equally proficient in whatever field Of
. music he may be called.
