THE KNEISEL QUARTET.
New Numbers At the Last Of Their Chamber
Music Concerts.

The Kneieel Quartet last night met with
that exposition Of bad weather which has
become almost proverbial among concert
patrons because Of its associations with
these concerts They gave their last
chamber music meeting for the season
in Mendelssohn Hall, and made it doubly
noteworthy by bringing forward a piano
forte quartet by Ernest Chausson in A
major and e~nlisting the help Of Mr.. Rudolph
GAM, who twice before in the course of
his season came from Chicago to show
New Workers. his quality and on each occa-
sion challenged and won handsome recogni-
ton. Mr.. GAM is now about to seek a
home in his native Europe, so that he may
be set down hereafter in the prints as hail
ing from some other port than the City That
Stitch at the Foot Of the Great Lake.
At his appearance with the Symphony
Orchestra and in a recital at Mendelssohn
Hall the concert goers Of the metropolis
made a pleasant acquaintance with the
Young artist. and they seemed glad to
renew it last night despite the fact that the
music which he helped to perform did not
seem to appeal puissantly either to their
heads or their hearts.
MIR. Kneisel has conceived 1t to be part
OF his duty to make known the new in the
department Of chamber music as well as
To cherish the old 1t would be childish
to quarrel with such a conception, but his
audiences are singularly perverse in pre-
ierring to have their old loves. g~ratfied
than their curiosity satisfied. They have
made that plain on several previous occa-
sions, and they made it plain last night.
For the fine. clear, authoritative forth
setting Of the Inflated young Frenchman's
music they generously expressed their
gratitude; but the applause did not have
the hearty ring to It that that had which
proclaimed the delight given by the quartet
in c minor by Brahms nor even Of that which
followed each movement Of Grieg's quartet
in G minor. with which the concert came
to an end. The atmospheric conditions

perfection that no one seemed to think of
