Ellsworth Grumman gave a very brilliant performance of several of the most difficult piano compositions ! at his recital last evening in the ball. room of The Stratfield. He proved himself to be an artist of no small calibre and had apparently an inex- haustfbie fund of technique from | which to draw. His art is we'll l grounded and there is no reason that he should not go far in the medium | which he has chosen. to develop his talent. He is the son of MT, and Mrs. B. B. Grumman of Park ave- nue.
 There was large and enthusiastic | audience present and it comprised in the main the musicians and music l lovers of the city. He was applaud ed to the echo at the conclusion of his rendition of Lszt's Hungarian l Rhapsodie, No. 10, which was execut- 1 ed in a masterly manner. The open ing selection, one of extreme difficult ty, was splendidly, broadly rendered with nicety of regard for the com posers conception of the number. 1 MT. Grumman possesses tremendu- ous power, and again in the pianosst- mo passages his delicacy of touch furnished a great contrast. The tone he evokes from his instrument has a warm singing quality and es- pecially was this noticeable in the second movement of Beethoven's Sonata in E fiat. This was played with splendid breadth and tona1 beauty. There could be no flaws found with MT. Grumman's program which was finely balanced and select ed to best display the ability of the artist.
 It follows:
 Cesar Franck-Prelude, Choral and Rugue.
 Beethoven-Opus 7, Sonata in E Hat: Allegro motto con brio; Largo con gran expressione; Allegro; Pocc allegretto, e grazioso.
 Chopin-Etudes in c Minor and 4 Flat Major: Fantasie-Imprompt scherzo in c Sharp Minor.
 Schumann - Solitary Flovers.' 'The Bird-Prophet;;" from Flores Scenes"
 Brahms-Intermezzo, op. 11s, No 3.
 Liszt-Etude in D Flat: Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 10.
