PRAISE FOR BAND
THAT APPEARS SATURDAY

OF the Liberatti band, which is to

lover of discriminating tast could not
fail to observe that the organization
retains all of the qualities which have
gained for it so high a place in popu-
lar favor. 1t is scarcely worth while
to comment upon the subdued effects,
the delicate and appealing sweetness
of Instrumentation which has been
brought to such a degree of perfec-
ton by Sig. Liberati, for these things
are commonly understood; there are,
however. several features of his Oma-
ha engagement which deserve especi-
al mention.
One of them was the duet for
French horn and flute, the Tit Sere-
made as interpreted by August Pfifer,
flute and r. Srbecky, horn with oand
accompaniment. Two instruments
were never welded in more exquisite
harmony than those; never was there
a more mystical loveliness of tone Oh
expression. Surely wind instruments
have nothing better to give in the en-
tire range of musical expression than
that selection interpreted as it was by
absolute artists. OF course, it is a
we'll known fact that as cornetis'

own composition, he demonstrated

which has made him famous.
