Pupils of Miss Appell's Piano
forte School Please Large

The foundation of Harrisburgs
present-day musical kingdom has
been laid by the Wednesday Club
and Fred C. Hand with his series of
artists recitals. 1t is up to musicians
of the city to perpetuate and to make
this kingdom larger and better.
That the city's musicians are hand
INLAND with the project was evil
denced last night when large audi
ence heard young musicians from
the Pianoforte school of Miss Laura
Appel, demonstrate their musical
powers. The graduation and presen-
tation of a diploma to Miss Marietta
Sultzaberger was the feature or the
evening.
Louise Cook, Gretchen Deem, Sara
Hamer and Mildred Wickersham.
played 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
the opening number in the concert.
The same artists played Krentzkin's
"Polonaise" as a following selection.
Franke's THE MILL" was played by
Blanche Tausig. followed by Jean.
nette Aronson, playing In the Mill,
by Ganshals. Mildred Wickersham
played Johanning's Dance La Ga
Votte;" Annette Friedman followed
with Krentzlin's Rosetta Mazurka," :"
and Sara Hamer played Oestens
"In the Gondola." Carl Bohm's beau
tiful Forest Murmurs," was the
next number played by Cecilia Tau
sig. Regina McGranaghan displayed
great power and a wealth of techni-
que in the playing of Pacher's Song
and Variations" dainty number
that pleased many. Anna Rappaport
played Lichner's keepsake" and
the closing number of the first part
of the program was Mereaner
Simms playing of Karganoff's IN
termezzo," and Barowski's Val
sette."
Miss Marietta Sultzaberger and
part of the program, playing Lacks
Finale Valse." Louis Cook, playing
Molly's "Napolitana Saltarello," and
Lena Lane playing Wach's March
of the Flower Girls" were following
numbers. Owing to the illness OF
Miss Katherine Dechant, Miss Appel
played in her stead, Krentzlin's
"Nocturne," and Concone's Witches
Dance" The two numbers are in
wide contrast. The first is sleepy,
dreamy composition, bringing the
mind to wandering through the
canals of Venice on a moonlight
night. THE Witches Dance"is a wild
fury of playing, requiring great skill
in its presentation.
The allegro, allegretto and presto
movements of Beethoven's Sonata
Opus 10, No. 2, were played mag
nificently by Miss Millie Cohen.
Miss Marietta Sultzaberger, the
graduate, played the closing numbers
of the musical program. Her first
number was Chopin's beautiful and
ever-popular "Valse Op. "a, No. l."
The second was the impassioned
professional. "The Allegro Movement
rom the Carnival Scenes" by Schu-
mann. The number can almost be
styled an oddity. 1t is pompous, yet
passionate professional march. In
the composition, the French national
anthem is found in. concealed form.
Hatred already existed between
Germany and France at the time
Schumann wrote the number and it
was a standing joke of his that no
policeman could detect the strains of
The Marsellaise" appearing in the
composition.
Miss Sultzaberger played beauti-
fully and responded to a call for an
encore. She was presented with the
diploma of graduation by Miss APP
pell, who predicted for the young
pianist a future of boundless posi-
bilities. The graduate has technique,
appearance which bid fair to make
her name loom large on the pages
of musical history in the coming
generation.
