The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-01-18

At the shubert theater on Monday
evening the greatest woman pianist in
the world gave a concert. This was
Madame Teresa Carreno. She is Venc-
Zuelan by birth and Is the author OF the
Venezuelan National hymn. Her first ap-
pearapce on the stage was at concert
in the Academy OF Music In New York
when she was years OF age. Since then
she has had many successes which have
been repeated throughout every portion
OF the civilized world. Her latest tri-
umphs have been in England, Germany.
America and Australia. For the past
nine years she has resided in Berlin.
The audience which gathered at the
Shubert was large one, was enthusi-
a splendid welcome In turn this audi
ence was given a performance that was
perfect, that was artistic and which calls
only. for superlativc praise. And the
the plano stormed at her VIII and the
audience was entranced over her inter-
pretatlons OF the great masters OF mclo-
dy and OF harmony. AS said, the audi
ence was enthusiastic and she was re-
called number of times. And when the
numbers upon the programme had been
concluded this enthusiastic audience OF
Salt Lake music lovers would not allow
her to leave the stage and she responded
to the applause by giving two additional
numbers. IT was a magnificent concert.
one which will long be remembered by
those who heard IL.
The fame OF Careno is too general
and positive to admit OF a prolonged dis
cussion of her merits or dement's. New
ertheless, one may be forgiven for re-
spectful personal opinions claiming only
for such the personal viewpoint.

evidence.
Making comparisons with other great
players is taking an unfair stand, as a
great artist desires TO be unique. Mad
anne Carreno impressed her audience with
the fact that she is too great and dom
NATIVE musical figure to suffer by a
comparison Some may have desired tho
thrill of sensational tempos and dyna-
mics in the Llszt numbers. Others may
have appreciated more omotlonalism and
tenderness In the Chopin group and

not fully meet the expectations OF all In

Carreno docs not make the plain pret-

bare, but she transcriDeS the peautltul

Of honesty and reason than Of charm, and
more Of logic than Of cloquence. A wo-

the personal opinion of Madame Carreno
