Mr. Joseph Hofmann played the solo
part in Chopin's + minor concerto

20 all of those who heard it who have
a feeling that there is a possibility OF
putting into Chopin's music straight
iorwardness and virility which so few
of our pianists seem 10 realize are
native TO il. a straightforwardness and
virility, however, which do not in any
way void It's exquisite melody and emo
tional beauty.
The other numbers Of the programme
were Beethoven's fourth symphony
which the Philharmonic Society played
a week ago. and two numbers by Rim
sky Korsakof. The average excellence
Of our orchestral performances having
been maintained In the performance
and comparisons being quite as odous.
as we have learned in the opinion Of
Mr.. Damrosch and his companions, as
they were 70 Dogberry, nothing more
Is to be said though we should have
liked to record an impression OF the
difference between the effect Of the
