Hale and hearty and apparently in eK-

Music
by Omaha Musicians.

Recital by Omaha Musicians.
A musicale of unusual excellence and
quality was given last evening at the
Lyric theater. The program was given by
Mrs. J.. f. Crofoot, Mrs e. Lee McShane,
Miss Frances E. Nash, Miss Eloise Wood
and Mr.. Martin w. Bush, all of whom are
advanced pupils of Mr.. Max Landow.
Invitations were issued to 200 friends of
the artists, making this one of the largest
social affairs of the week. The ease with
which the difficult numbers were given
displayed a remarkable development and
the audience showed keen appreciation of
the different numbers.
The first number, "Laendler." for two
pianos op. GA, by Alexis Hollaender, played
by Miss Wood and Mr.. Bush, was we'll re-
ceived. Miss Nash played the first move
ment of the concerto in c minor by Camille
saint-saens. The young artist has splen-
did technique and a charming personality
which wins her audience. She plays with
unusual ease and comprehension. Mr..
Landow played the accompaniment to the
concerto on a second piano. For encore
Miss Nash played q pastorale by Scar
latti. .5.ts bs
prelude ct Fugue, op. g." Giavomo,
Sgambati, was given by Mr.. Bush. The
breadth of expression and execution OF
this difficult nuTpber displayed considerable
ability. die Rose" by LiZst, was played
as encore. Goy
Caprice MeIancolique," for two pianos,
composed by Reynaldo Hahn, was played
by Mrs. Crofoot and Mr.. Landow. The in
depreciation and execution were excellent
and the players were recalled. Mrs. Gro
foot gave "Cortege," by Claude Debussy,
and 1.-TWO Etudes," by Chopin, with great
brilliancy and expression. Her host or
friends wish they might have the oppor-
tunity of hearing her often.
Mrs. McShane and Mr.. Landow gave
"Andante Variations" for two pianos, OPP
49, by Robert Schumann. This is the first
appearance in Omaha of Mrs. McShane in
musical circles, to which she is a welcome
acquisition.
Miss Wood rendered 'Hochzeitsmarsch
und Elfenreigen," by Observation-Disclosures
This transcription of Mendelssohn's we'd
ding march is quite difficult and was given
with excellent technique. This number was
especially appropriate, as Miss WOODS
wedding takes place within fortnight
"Reverie," by Richard Strauss, was given
as encore
Concerto D minor (flrst movementD,
Anton Rubinstein, played by Mr., Bush, ac-
companied by Mr.. Landow on second
piano, was a fitting finale to the splendid
program. Mr.. Bush played with express
sion and skill.
Many beautiful floral tributes were sent
TO the artists. E. T.
