KNEISEL QUARTET
IN LAST CONCERT
New Composition by Daniel
Gregory Mason Gets Enthusi-
astic Reception.

One by one the musical organizations
are closing their seasons; last night it
was the Kneisels' turn. 1t was a true
Kneisel audience which drew toward
Aeolan Hall TO bid adieu 70 the famous
quartet, an audience which contained,
as Kneisel audiences have contained
from time immemorial, all that is most
earnest in New York's musical elite.
IL is an aristocratic art that the
Kneisels present, presented in an aris-
tocratic manner, with no sentimental
sops thrown to pacify the democratic
Cerberus. But this is known TO all to-
day and need not now be dwelt upon.
1t suftices 10 say that those who love
perfection of ensemble, confluence, bal
ance. always turn toward these con-
certs with longing and delight.
There was one novelty on last nights
programme-Daniel Gregory Mason's
Quartet in A major for violin, viola,
violoncello and pianoforte. Mr.. Mason
is a composer whose works are gradu-
ally working their way into the public
notice. lie is a sincere musician,
firmly based on the best music of the
past, and one who showed last night
that he possesses a really personal
idiom.
The quartet was not without It's
faults; there were times when the
structure did not appear any too firmly
knit, though this lack did not occur in
the first movement; and the melodic
ideas did not appear to be over-abun-
dant. Yet these ideas did not seem to
be borrowed, but were the sincere
product of the composer himself. His
rhythmic ideas were, too, exceedingly
interesting in themselves and interest
ingly worked out, the second movement
in particular possessing a really eltish
grace and sense of movement.
The audience gave the composition
an enthusiastic reception, but Mr.
Mason proved too modest 20 make his
presence Known. The quartet, in
which the piano part was taken by
Ossip Gabrilowitsch, gave a reading
which was limpid in its clarity.
The three other numbers were the
Haydn Trio in G major, the Beethoven
Quartet in A minor. OPP. 1872, and the
Schoenberg Sextet In D minor, which
was given at an earlier concert, when
1t received ample notice. It was last
night repeated by request.

kept true to her course through all
the storms of adverse criticism, of rail-
lery and Of Encouragement. There are
two ways for a painter" she has often
said to me. "the broad and easy one
or the narrow and hard one"
And now, right here, | must make
two statements which will probably
cause surprise. Miss Cassatt was not
a pupil of Degas, nor did either OF
them belong to that group of paint
ers known as the Impressionists.
Unappreciated in that highly respect
able institution known as the Salon,
they exhibited with the lmpressionists
in their modest room on the Boulevard,
but Degas and Miss Cassatt are not
to be classified with Manet, Monet, Pts
saro and the rest. As for Miss Cassatt
being a pupil of Degas. it is not true,
for she did not even meet him until
she had known his works and felt
their influence for several years. will
let her tell you so herself. She wrote
me only a few weeks ago, and said:
"How well | remember, nearly forty
years ago, seeing for the first time

picture dealer on the Boulevard Hauss-
mann. | used to 60 and hatten my nose

After they met, some time later, long
years Of friendship ensued, of mutual
criticism, and, | must frankly add, Of
spicy arrangements, for DeGas was ad-
dicted to the habit of throwing verbal
vtrol, as the French cali 1t, upon his
friends, and Miss Cassatt would not
have been the daughter Of the Cos
sards If she had not been equal 10

No better indication Of the sincerity

When at 5 o'clock TO the minute,
Mrs. Havemeyer, in a gown of salmon

eighty persons. She spoke in part as

his athletic prowess he became anil

and the hands disclose the master
working miracles. For a kindred cpl
sode look also at the luscious painting
of the ruff in the oval Portrait OF a
Man" No. I'D. The man who did that
loved his brush as "a musician loves MS
instrument There are two lesser types
in this group Of portraits, who in other
circumstances would be regarded with
sufficient appreciation. The Spanish
Lady by Claudio Coello, a portrait OF
mellow. dusky warmth, is lovely can
vas, and Lawrence was never more
graceful or more luminous than in his
Lady Charlemcn and Child" But they
are hard put to 1t TO maintain their
balance in the company Of Rembrandt
and HOlbein.
The painter who does so without my
effort at all is Nermeer, of Delft, whose
Woman Weighing Pearls" the small
est picture in the place, is from a GER
tam point Of view the most important
work displayed. In him painters pal /
ing is raised 10 its highest power, or
possibly we should say distilled into its
finest essence. Other masters there
are with ten times his manual force,
but there is none with anything like his
manual delicacy. lie painted, il we
may risk the phrase, in blooms. giving
70 his surfaces q quality faithful 10
the genius Of oil pigment, but doubling
it with the genius Of his own taste.
There are nowhere else in the whole
range Of art such tones as Vermeer's,
tones at once so rich and so pure, so
solid and so transparent, so simple and
vet so completely beyond the scope of
analysis II was a kindly stroke Of fate
that threw this artist amid the scenes
by which we know him, the sedate,
softly lighted interiors Of seventeenth
century Dutch life. The secret Of a
great art was at his finger tips. And
the subjects 10 call it out were just
those immObile yet most sympathet-
ica!lv human groups. Their placid
spirit seems the very spirit Of Yer
.meer himself. He has a companion in
the present exhibition for whom he is
as dangerous as Ho,bein Is for Law
renee. The two family portraits By
Terborch, enlarged miniatures as they
might be called, are capital illustra-
tions Of his precise art and in them
selves not without high merit. But
thev seem thin, stiff and hard beside
the Vermeer. Not so the glorious

which is probably the best work Of
the master in the world, is so sumptu-
ouslv beautiful in color so enchanting
i'm it's distribution of light that not
even the wizard Of Delft can dim its
brilliance. It is good to note the DIFF
fererces between the twO-and the tri-
umphal powers Of both. One comes
the better to realize in that way the
blessed fact that, Of painters paint
ing, there are as many kinds as there
are great painters.
