HAROLD eAUER's GENIUS.

THE CHICAGO RECORD HERALD
in speaking of the performance of Har-
old Bauer with the Thomas orchestra
says: One of the most interesting
features of the Thomas orchestra pro
gram yesterday was the Schumann
concerto played by Harold Bauer. Mr..
Bauer provoked by his playing the
greatest admiration when he made a
concert tour of this country a few
years ago. He demonstrated at that
time that he was one of the best equip
ped and most musicianally pianist then
appearing on the concert stage, of this
land or any other land. That convic-
ton was reimpressed by his appear
ance yesterday. The performance Of
the great masterpiece of Schumann's
work was filled with beautiful under
standing Of all the poetry and charm
that are inherent in the work itself
Never at any moment did Mr.. Bauer
seek TO push forward the yirtuOso TO
the detriment of the music which he
played and there were many situations
IN which he assayed his pianissimO 50
that the orchestra might say the better
that which Schumann had given it to
say. The concerto demands much
Imagination of style from the perform
ct who would discover the secret of
its loneliness. The hard touch, the for
tissimO attack, the passion for showing
of are foreign to his art. Mr.. Bauer
brought a singularly refined and ap-
pealing touch to the reading of the
piece. The music meant TO him a cap
tivating thing fun Of poetry and TO-
nance and in its turn he made them
clear TO those who heard him.
Mr.. Bauer will appear in recital at
Augustana auditorium tomorrow even
ing under the auspices Of the conserva-
tory of music.

house. There was no trouble at the
ceremony.
