The Melville Charlton Recital.

In spite of the cold weather and
slippery pavements to which the av-
erage Washingtonian seems to be par
tiCularly averse when it comes to
venturing out, except when driven by
neCesSity-there was a large and ap-
preCiative audience IN attendance att
the Charlton Organ Recital IN the
Metropolitan Church on Monday
evening last. This was the third OF
the Artist ReCitals given under the
auspices of the Washington COnser-
vatory of Music, and was in every
way a most fattering testimonial to
the high aim of the prOmoter-Mrs.
Harriet Gibbs Marshall.
MI Melville Charlton holds un-
questionable the first place among the
organists of the country, regardless
Of race or color.
The wonderful scope and resource
and consequently the manifold dltt-
culties requiring musical qualities,
added to long and arduOus study OF
the organ, make of it an instrument
not fully appreciated by the majority
Of our people, for in the proper hand
ling of this, the greatest of all lnstru-
ments, in that it combines in a unit all
the resources of an orchestra, not
alone IS mere manual technique a
requisite, but first of all good men
talitv, one which IS capable OF grasp
ing the conception Of the various
masters. in which Interpretation a
rigid technical training of not only
the fingers but the feet as well are
necessary. Then there IS still another
step and the most important in organ
plaving. registration as it Is called.
This consists in a knowledge OF the
various stops with their variety OF
combinations and effects from the
thin svlvian note of the ObeU 10 the
thunder of the full organ
I'm his work the other night MIR,
Charlton by the wonderful demonStra-
l ton of his command of this great IN
strument proved that there Is no
height he may not aspire to, for he IS
still young, with the best years OF
growth and development yet before
! him. Mr.. Charlton's support greatly
added to the versatile charm and en-
iovment of the evening.
