Giuseppi Cadenasso has been plying
his brush with avidity, and many beau
tiful stories of nature in her rarest
moods have been wrought out for such
as love them. The mystic lights of
early morn, mist -draped, enter largely
into his theme. Then, too, his rainy
days show the gray atmosphere breath

And where, in all Gods universe, is

niably sweet, but of a sweetness that
abundance brings safety. Not so the
refreshing sweetness of the morning,
with its wet grass, the dew still swing
ing on the blades ere the sun lures it
away. 1t is this exquisite quality that
CadenassoN gets, and that, like Thad-
deus Welch, distinguishes much of his
supremest efforts. There is a tangible
odor to these pastoral pictures-that of
the freshness and gladness and tran
quillity found in the fields, the qualities
so much needed by the hemmed-in
dwellers of the city. At Paul Elders.

But 1 am glad to have missed the
Sinding quartet, the performance Of
which was perhaps the chef d'oeuvre
of last years concerts. One Of its
most pleasing elements, 1t will be re-
membered was the discovery OF Mrs.
Oscar Mansfeldt, before known only
as soloist of the brilliant order, as
an ensemble player of peculiar deli
cacy and discretion. Her work OF last
Sunday, whether the result of unwise
counsel or what not, seems to have
been In curious and uplovely contrast
with it's last seasons distinctions. Here
is my informant again-whose Judg-
ment cannot be questioned in the
matter:
Mrs. Mansfeldt for the time
seemed to have overlooked the very
quality that made her playing in the
same quintet so interesting last year,
viz: the nice balance of tone between
the sonorous pianoforte and the less
resonant strings. In order to cope
with the mere noise Chat is the proper
word) produced by the heavy bass Of
a Steinway grand with open pedal.
the strings should have been at least
doubled; and even then the cello would
be mostly inaudible unless reinforced
by a, contrabasso. Sinding can scarce
ly have intended that his string parts
should be lost whenever the pianoforte
bass gets chance to let loose. Had
that been intended-that the strings
should merely support the pianoforte
part in a display of virtuosity and
overwhelming tone-the parts would
have been written quite differently,
viz: in masses and broad effects. and
not in polyphonic treatment, initiative
figures and so on.
"Quite true it is that the pianoforte
part of the quintet is Of itself very
snowy, but that is only additional rea-
son why the pianist should exercise
great discretion, in order that the
quintet may remain quintet and not
become a pianoforte concerto with ut
terly inadequate accompaniment. 1t
