meet with Mrs. G. o. Wilmarth, HOO
West Eighth avenue, next Tuesday
| An informal studio recital was given
Thursday night by pupils of Mr.. Dan
iel Muller. assisted by Miss Anna
Simpson, who sang two numbers
The longest and by far the most
difficult selection on the program was
the opening number, Mozart,s Con
certo in d minor, which was played by
Miss Blanche Davis, with Miss Esther
Payne at the second piano The young
women have not given to the prepare
/ ton of the rendering of the concerto
\ the time usually expended on an Ell
fort of that kind, and considering the
| length and difficulties of the work, the
performance was astonishingly good
The non-legato character of the work
was well brought out in the clear
crispness of the playing Miss Payne
closed the program with LISTS Rhap-
sodie No. IS. Miss Payne has good
style accuracy and considerable de-
promise of a future of artistic attain
ment. Miss Alice Lyman played
double number, valse by Chopin, and
the Butterfly piece by Grieg- She has
delicacy of touch that found particu-
larly happy expression in the Butter
fly number, and she has character ard
individuality in her playing.
Margaret McCandless, a little girl of
perhaps ten or eleven years of age.
played Heather Rose, by Lange,
simple, charming little number, cred
itably given. Miss Hazel Zirl1le played
mazurka, by GODDARD. a composition
which she gave with spirit and zest.
In contrast to that number was the
playing of Miss Ella Thresher, who
gave Mendelssohn's Spring Sons.
There is daintiness in her work, and
she gives evidence of having inter-
pretative ability. Miss Alice Rice
played a Chopin valse in an accurate
and pleasing way. and kreisler
number, played by Miss Alice Etnyre
was well received.
The student recita1s by Mr.. Muller's
pupils are given regularly, one eve
ming each month. They are well at
tended, and are interesting, especially
to those who wish to note the advance
in the musical development of stu
dents.
