Boston Symphony Quartet Concert.

The first concert of the Boston Symphony
Quartet at the New Willard yesterday aft
ernoon was well received. The program
was excellently varied, containing the
Beethoven G major quartet, OPP. 49, No. 2;
Hugo kauns D major, OPP. Al, No. 2, the
three numbers of which displayed scope and
were enthusiastically applauded, and
Dvorak's f fiat major. OPP. 81, quartet for
piano, violin, viola and violoncello. Mr.. H.
G. Tucker was the assisting plano artist.
Little Is left to be said in praise Of the first
violin, Wiley Hess, or Of the violoncellist,
Heinrich Warnke, and certainly the perfect
harmony and precision of attack of the
whole quartet show the two other artists,
Otto Roth, second violin, and Emile Ferir,
viola, to be thoroughly equal to all de-
mands. The quartet is certain to make a
distinct place for itself and to usurp many
of the honors of the Kneisel.
