Music Notes
, FAVORABLE bit of a

A FAVORABLE bit of advice which
n Leschetizky gives to applying
AA pupils is this: go up to the
mountain lakes and row a boat for
six months and when you come back
I'll hear you play" He can hardly
find it necessary to give this advice
to Miss Lillian Smith when she re-
turns to Europe this autumn to study
with him, for her strength of arm and
hand seems well developed. In her
rhythmic sense, too, this young woman
Is especially gifted and the pulse in
the Beethoven sonata was well defined.
The Bach prelude and fugue g., with
which she opened the program was
taken at good stiff tempo and was
clearly played, as were the first two
movements of the moonlight" sonata.
The andante and allegretto were given
in excellent style, but in the presto
movement nervousness evidently ham
pered the technical skill of the player,
and she was not quite so lucid in her
work. She appeared to better advant-
age in the two Chopin numbers, Noe
turne op. 10, No. 2, and the Third Bal
lade, the latter being especially we'll
played. Other numbers by this young
artist in which the audience found
much to commend were Butterfly
Etude (Calixa Lavallee), Rondo Capri
cioso (Mendelssohn), Andante Finale
from Lucia Neschetizky), for left hand
alone; Berceuse "a. HenselD and Fan
tasie from Midsummer Nights Dream
(Mendelssohn-Lisz)
Mrs. Minnie Gazolla-LoYe is young
singer of unusual voice, and she ap-
peared upon the program last night in
two numbers the first song cycle by
Caro- Roma, a composition which was
most commonplace and uninteresting,
and the second including the beautiful
soprano aria from Carmen" (Bizet)
and a song by Buzzia- -Peccia, 'Torne
Amore." The upper register of
Mrs. Loves voice is strong and true,
but the voice is strangely unbalanced
and should be given much patient,
careful work along strictly technical
lines. With such care it gives promise
of becoming a voice of great beauty,
range and strength.
Miss Goodrich was at the piano for
Mrs. Loves numbers The audience
was thoroughly appreciative and
showered flowers upon both Miss
Smith and Mrs. Love, while demanding
numerous encores and recalls.
Miss Smith will play this evening at
the Gamut club, which is to follow the
regular monthly dinner
-Es-
Charles Demorest playe dan organ
recital last night at the Westlake Meth
OdlSt cnufcn, giving NUMBER OF IN
teresting and we'll rendered selections.
He was assisted in the program by
Mr.. Pither, the possessor of a delight
full baritone voice, which was heard
to advantage in several solos, one
group being compositions by Mr.. Dem
crest.
The closing concert of the spring
term of the Davis music studio was
given in Rehearsal hall, Majestic the
ater building, last night. The pro-
gram showed piano and violin num-
bers interspersing the vocal solos.
Mrs Eugene p. Davis sang Bene-
diets 1.-The Birds that Came in Spring"
with splendid effect. In striking con-
trast was the contralto solo from the
almost forgotten "Bing Mais" Of
Gounod, sung by Miss Rosa Domazar.
Another dramatic number was the III
Trovatore" aria sung by Miss Alice
I. Russell. The "Rondo Capriccioso"
of Mendelssohn was played by Miss
Henrietta M. Russell with remarkable
degree of color shading.
A duet for Women's voices, "Hark
to the Mandolin" (Parker), was sung
by Misses Lupe Bassilos, Lulu Hunter
Nettie Paulson, Frances Sides, Blanche
Cottingham, Artie James Rebecca
Schlender and Mrs. H. w Robertson.
