MUSICIANS DENY
D|ssENT|0N STORY
No Ill-Feeling Among Members Of
Detroit String Quartet, It's
Declared. Ir ~

Rumors fio4ing about for some time
among The musicians OF the city That
there Is ill-teeiing between Edmond
LichtensteiiI and Alexander Levy, vio-
linists In the Detroit string quartet, are
set at rest b. the statements Of these
geentlemen themselves. Complaint has
been made ty some OF the subscribers
OF the quartet that Mr.. Levy, an art
list In every sense of the word, had
not played solo during the season,
while every other member had place
at one time or another on the pro-
gram.
There Is absolutely no foundation
for any such complaint" declared Mr..
LiChtenstein, the first violin and direc-
tor of the quartet 1T was optional
with Mr.. Levy whether he play solo
or the Bach concerto which we played
together at The April concert, and he
chose the lstter. There is not the
slightest feeling among the members.
and we are ell the very best of friends.
Il played solo Mt one of the con-
certs. Mr.. Weissmann will play at the
May concert and Mile Ruegger has
appeared on several occasions as solo
LIST because OF so many demands. Nat
urally. the work OF such an artist as
Mile. Ruegger added very materially
to the success OF the concerts. In view
Of these facts everyone has been sat
isfled.
There is also no truth In the state
ment that MIR. Levy will not remain
with the quartet another season. The
quartet will remain exactly the same
as the last season. Subscriptions have
been coming In In very gratifying
manner and We expect to have another
successful season"
When asked concerning the state
ment that he had not been given an
opportunity 10 play solo during the
season. Mr.. Levy said that he had abb
solutely no criticism to make of any
one connected with the quartet. ana
that everything Is going along very
satisfactorily.
We are al the best OF friends: In
fact, 1t would be impossible to make
a success CT such an organization
were IL otherwise" declared Mr.. Levy.
