MR.. PADEREWSKPs SONATA.

All the seats in Carnegie Hail. from floor to roof.
were occupied yesterday afternoon when Mr.. Pade-
rewski gave his second pianoforte recital His
programme not considerate OF the wishes OF
the majority OF people who so to his recitals to
indulge in hero worship rather than to hear his
music. He played his sonata. a work Of large
dimensions and most serious import, and followed
IT with Lszts sonata IN B minor, enjoyment of
which Is still reserved for the inner brotherhood Of
Liszt devotees. Not until these works were dis
posed Of did he cater TO the popular desire. The
rest OF his programme saving the pieces with
which he supplemented it, given over to COM
positions by Chopin-the G major nocturne. five
etudes Grom Op. 25-six were annOunced), the ber-
ceuse. F sharp minor polonaise and waltz in A fiat
A Song Without Words by AIendelssohn was
added after the Lszt sonata, and later there came
a Tausig transcription OF a Strauss waltz. Schu-
manns 'Nachtsttck' and a List rhapsody.
Mr.. Paderewski's sonata IN E fiat minor the
most interesting feature Of the afternoon for all
those seriously interested in the and his art
An estimate Of the work has already appeared In
these columns, based upon perusal OF the music.
After hearing there Is nothing to subtract from
the good opinion then expressed. What might be
added would be due to the charm which 1t re-
ceived from the performance. This charm was I'm
parted to the second movement-not to the first,
which Mr.. Paderewsh filled with a strenuousness
OF expression quite Incompatible with all ordinary
conceptions OF beautiful pianOforte playing. But
with the second movement Mr.. PaderewsH led his
hearers far into the land OF romance and poesy.
1t is music that is full of tender and indI-
vidual beauty. while the finale is superb in it's
scholarship and fine in thought II is IN exc
