MIR. Richard stoelzer, viola aud
viola d'Amour soloist. The violo
d'Amour, an instrument used 200 years
ago, has fourteen strings, similar to
the viola in theory, but far more ex-
pressive in sweetness and power of
tone, and must>be heard to be appre-
ciated. When listening to it, a per-
son at times gets the impression of a
complete ensemble, and q melodious
voice. The enchanting music which
has been elected from these instru-
ments has induced poets and great old
composers to call it the Viola of Love.
In 1720 the Viola d'Amour was most
favored, and continued so up to the
18th century, when 1t became entirely
obsolete. Seven of the strings are
used only in bowing, while the bal
ance are directly under the original
seven, and vibrate in unison. It is
the largest instrument held under the
chin. Herr Stoelzer was the first solo
ist who introduced this instrument to
the American public.
Herr Theo. Hoch, cornet virtuoso,
Roman triumphal trumpet and Alpine
echo horn. Mr.. Hoch has played be-
fore several of the crowned heads OF
Europe and was q favorite with EN-
peror William. He is musical ar
tist of the first rank.
Tickets for this performance will be
