Music Notes

Ny HE Flonzeley Chamber Music Quar-
tet, which visits us next Thursday
Il night in Simpson auditorium, Is
recognized today as one of the most
remarkable chamber music organiza-
tons in the world. Few string quar-
tets have attained such perfection OF
ensemble, finish of technique, beauty or
tone, rhythmieal precision or eloquence
of expression. It's members, though OF
three different nationalities, are OF the
Latin race, while three have studied
under the same master, Caesar Thom-
son.
Each summer is spent in the chalet
of e. j. de Coppet, who was their first
and most earnest supporter. His home
is situated in delightful spot In the
Alps, overlooking the most striking
scenery that a visitor to the Alpine
country could wish to see.
Last year they came to America
wholly unknown, except for the usual
press agents stories and their sue
cess can best be judged by the fact
that they have in large degree dis
placed the Knelsel quartet In the affec-
tions of the Boston music lovers, feat
which to the patron of music last sea
son and the season before would have
seemed impossible.
The program Is an interesting one,
including a Mozart and Schumann
ing being given over to the sonata for
two violins and cello by LeClair EAine,
dated 16S7-1764.

ton director. will play the following
