The Guests of the Friday Evening
club Furnished a Rare Treat.
Il was unfortunate for many mem
bers OF the Friday Evening club thai
the best entertainment Of the season s
course should have come two nights
before Christmas when family and
business exacbions prevented their Ell
joying it. The musicale by the New
York String Trio was one of the very
best ever given in Murristown, and
those present were delighted with the
delicate and artistic rendition of tie
several numbers. The program was
harmonious in every respect, with
nothing florid or common place, but a
combination of movements Of difficult
technique yet with sufficient variety
to hold the attention of the audience
with increasing interest to the end
The artists were Henry Lift, violin
Charles Schentze, harp; Ella Bron
stein, violonceIlo; with Dan Lieber
field as a sympathetic aecompaniSt.
Each was master Of his instrument
whether in ensemble or solo parts and
played together ia delightful harmony
| The program opened with grand
trio in four movements by OberJhur
The opening movement, an allegro
moderate, gave foretaste of whal
might be expected from the trio as il
was stirring presentation; an andan-
te cantahile, with its rythmatic sing
ing style was very sweet and arous d
enthusiastic applause sherzo, with
a lively droll effect, gave pleasing
variety, and the closing allegro deciso
carried the audience to an enthusias-
tic climax which resulted in the de-
mand for an encore which brought out
another pleasing movement.
| A cello solo by Mr.. Bronstein fol
lowed, ne giving a p0lonaise by Pepper
This was a mastery production set
ting forth the beautiful and wierd ef-
feet of the Hungarian composition,
the delicate shading of which was
we'll brought out by the left-hand
work of the artist. For an encore he
gave, that beautiful piece The Swan
by st. Saens.
! A trio in four movements followed ;
"a. Spring Song bv Mendelssohn; b.
Meditation from z That's" by Massa-
net c. The Rosary by Nevin, and d.
| Rudolph's song from La Boheme. +"
| All were excellent. especially the duo
work Of Messrs. Lii and Schuetze in
| the second movement. The Rosary,
however, was the crowning movement
of the number, and was received with
such rapturous applause that it was
repeated. The special feature of this
movement was the violin solo by Mr..
Lift.
Mr.. Schuetze followed with harp
solo, Winter, by Thomas, and proved
himself master of the kingly instru.
ment, bringing out the delicate shading
of the piece in a most pleasing man
ner. For an encore he gave Reverie
of his own composition.
The closing trio was :" Extase' by
Came, and was finished production
that held the audience so spellbound
that the individuals who usually dis
turb the audience by going out during
the closing number remained seated.
The audience not satisfied with the
nloeipU of tho nrnOra rny,oa incietpd
| upon an encore when the trio gave
Samson and Delilia in brilliant style.
| The New York String Trio certain
ly made an excellent reputation in
Morristown and will be gladly well
| coined on future occasion.
The directors CT the club are to be
congratulated upon The success Of the
course so far.
