Music and Musical Notes

was once invited by him TO MS SIuulo 10
lecture-recital and was vastly interested
in the feats which he was able to perform.
His keyboard was in four banks, of course,
very compact, consequently the most ire
mendous technical feats were accomplished
with little or no eXertiOn. At that time
De Janko thought to replace the old key
board. This however, has never been ac-
complished. Madame Pupin is the first
musician whom I have heard of as using
the banked keys. I can vouch that recital
would be worth while
Last night a concert was given at Wash
ington hall by Mr. Emil Emma, pianist, and
Mr. Alexander Emma, baritone, of tho
Des Moines Conservatory of Music 1t
was under the patronage of the Swedish
residents Of the city.
At Mrs. Charles T. Kountze's last even
ing a concert was given for the benefit
OF the Trinity Altar Guild. Those taking

At the next meeting of the Tuesday
morning Musical club the Strauss setting
Of "F,noch Arden" will be given. l will
have 70 disagree with the announcement
that It will be its first presentation in
the city. No one who heard Louis Shaw
of St. Paul read "Enoch Arden" at the
old Kountze Memorial church some two
years ago will be likely to forget 1t. His
accompanist was very fine. The whole
thing left lasting impression.

The song recital to be given by Mrs
Mabene Crawford Welpton promises to be
a very brilliant AFFAIR socially well as
musicaly. The boxes have all beer
sold. Mrs. Welptons voice is said
to be in fine condition, Her program Is
one which will be Of special merit.
Harold Bauer who plays a piano recital
at the Lyric on December 10, is getting q
vast amount Of favorable criticism in the
eastern papers.
Leonard Ilebling in the Courier has the

with much interest

at the residence of Mrs. A. j. Poppleton
