SOME VIOLIN MUSIC
MIR. Spalding Opens the Season
at Carnegie Hall.

There Is to be an extraordinary vista
ton Of violin virtuosi in the United States
during the approaching winter and next
spring, and It was therefore appropriate
that the seasons formal opening should
be made with a recital of violin music
Mr.. Albert Spalding was the performer,
and his concert took place in Carnegie
Hall yesterday afternoon. II was also Mr..
Spalding's farewell to his native land for
a time. He is a wise young man. There
Is much territory between the two great
oceans, the British provinces Mexico and
its gulf, and many cities and towns there
IN have learned to give glad welcome TO
the peripatetic virtuoso but the distances
are large the virtuosi many, and II Is not
right that Europe should be left an hun
6ered while Ysaye. Kreisler, Elman, Zim-
balist and others chase one another to and
fro across the continent in pursuit of the
American shekel. Mr.. Spalding has won
his way to the favor Of his countrymen.
his appreciation Of US better than by
going to Europe to I'LL the void left by the
exodus of his admirable fellows. Many
good wishes go with him.
Mr.. Spalding has played both better
and worse in New York than he did yes
terday. He did not play his classic pieces
"A sonata in D by Corelli, Beethoven's
Romance in G. and the Bach chaconne-
with the broad style, the consistent tone
quality and the reposefulness which they
exact, and his audience, fattering I'm num-
bers, did not End as much enjoyment in
them as they did in the "Rondo Capric-
cioso" by Saint-Saans. and especially the
two bits of old-fashioned pattern work
which he spun out OF nuted tones after
the Salnt-Saens piece. The third part Of
his programme was made out of five
pieces Of his own and a Paganini caprice
tthe one which Brahms varied for the
pianoforte). In all Of them (the most
in structure was his "Mu-
steal Period" in c sharp minor) he sent
his Ideas very far aheld in an effort to
make them interesting. but they did not
gather much beauty In their wanderlngs.
