Piano.Forte Recital

The special schools Of Central Col.

Der Of entertainments most enjoyable
to those interested in music and
elocution. 10 this series occurred
the following on Saturday evening,
presented by Miss Eva Frances Tis.

l. Sonata, @ minor Beethoven
a. Allegro motto con brio.
b. Adagio motto.
C. Prestissimo.
Ii. a. Scherzo, B Flat schubert

d. Gondoliera Nevin
e. Etude Mignonne Schuett
III. a. Valse, @ sharp minor
Chopin
b. Mazurka, @ major Chopin
c. Etude, G Flat Chopin
". Valse Impromptu Liszt
The program, ranging from the
classical to the modern, was grouped
with interest and varying enjoyment.
The sonata in c minor, OPP 10. No. /,
by Beethoven is one of the Vienna
masters earlier works, possessing
symmetrical construction, balance
in related keys, and a unity of plan
such as was followed by his illustrieus
predecessors, Haydn and Mozart. 1t
is therefore, perfect in form, and
and most interesting in content and
treatment, The middle movement
was very gracefully played with an
and suitable distinction
preserved between the melody and
establishment; while the Prestissimo
was given with great velocity, clear
ness, and spirit.
AT her second appearance, Miss
Tlsdale gave an effective group of
pieces, each Of which was a tone
picture in itself or these, "Under
the Leaves" was especially attractive
Tor surprisingly beautiful melody
in the middle register suggesting the
plafssweness Of a Niolo4cello. This
was followed by the Nevln Barcarolle
in e major, an exquisite Venetian
scene by the talented American COM
poser, whose promising future was
]hwarted by au untimely death.
The Chopin group included the
amiliar @ sharp minor Valse. a
attractive for'its simplicity, |
Ind the "Etude upon the Black keysn
which was delivered with unfalling
Lccuracy and great brilliancy.
The delightful program closed with
he snowy Valse-Impromptu in A

Miss Tisdale debut concert was a
pronounced success, and the appre.
iatiVe and admirlng audience ex.
PRESSED its appreciation by the closest
'ttention and generous applause.

of his good will promised to begin
work Monday, the 10th OF this month.
After the above information was

score Of IL to l. This score does not
Indicate the relative playing of the
two teams or that the game was not
interesting, several Of Wentworth's
runs being due to the errors of Nc
Atee, who was behind the bat for the
visitors. Emory was in good form
and pitched winning ball from the
start. His support was good, espe-
cially by Craig who caught an error
less game. Each pitcher is credited
with Is strike outs. Emory allowed
the visitors only hits while Barr
was touched up for 10.
This is the fourth game Wentworth

one of them. The team is improving
