Music Notes

great Philharmonic course will Ger
tainly be one of the best yet given
to the music lovers of Los Angeles.
Madame johanna Gadsd created a
most favorable impression in Los An
geles last season, but since her retire.
ment from the forces of the Metropol-
itan opera house in New York this
singer has been devoting herself to
song recitals, save in Munich. where
she graces the summer festival plays
with her operatic presence. The long
programs of songs sung by Gadski this
season seem to be composed with an
idea to pleasing music lovers of many
musical tastes rather than of following
out one coherent artistic scheme. One
entire group is devoted to Robert Franz
songs, while among the other groups
are selections from Brahms, MacDow-
ell, Weber, Foote, Schumann, Chelius,
Schubert, Cornelius, Ansorge, Roger,
Strauss, LaForge and Van der Stucken.
Only one evening will be devoted to
Gadski in this city-that of Tuesday
evening, February 81 The reserved
seat sale is now on at the Birkel music
store.
When Jan Kubelik, the celebrated
Bohemian virtuoso, comes for his re-
cital at Simpson auditorium under L. e.
Behymer's management he will bring
with him three famous violins, one
Stradavarius and two Amati. These
instruments are qnown to connoisseurS
the world over and Kubelik's possess
sion of them is the envy of every great
violinist of the present day. The
Stradavarius once was the property of
Ole Bull and is perhaps the finest and
most costly specimen of its make in
existence. 1t has further value In
| Kubelik's eyes through having been
given to him by Emperor Franz josef
of Austria. The two Amati are scarce-
| ly less historic and valuable than the
"Strad" Kubelik uses the Instruments
| in public on alternative days, though
when he has a particularly difficult
program of Paganinis compositions he
always uses the "Strad," as its tone and
action lend themselves particularly to
productions of the pyrotechnical effects
latent In the italian wizards work.

Storck. two of the best known pianists
on the Pacific coast, assisted by Miss
Frieda Koss, contralto. 1t is many
months since Miss Jordan consented to
appear in public in this city. Her
clever playing is already well known,
while the effective work of Peje Storck
has been one of keen enjoyment to the
lovers of piano music in this city, but
seldom are two such masters OF this
instrument heard together.
