The high lights in yesterdays mu-
sic, of which there was an abundance,
were seen (the cant of criticism has
mixed the metaphors applicable to mu-
sic and painting) in two concerts given
in Carnegie Hall. In the afternoon
Mr.. Fritz Kreisler was heard in a con-
cert of unusual brilliance even for him,
who remains supreme among the horde
of present day violinists in everything
which goes into excellency.
Departing from the custom which he
established and all his fledgling COL
leagues and would-be rivals are follow
ing, he presented a program which ap-
pealed to music lovers of taste and
training, besides tickling ,he eacdrums
Of the multitude. To begin with. there
was Schubert's Fantasia in for vio-
lin and pianoforte, which has been
heard before at his concerts, though
not often under better conditions, for
he himself seemed trfe embarrassed
hy its unfamiliarity and found it nee
cssary to have the help Of the printed
page.
Plays Own Composition
Mr.. Lamson, who played the accom-
Tanlment to the other pieces in the
LIST, thought so much of his opportunity
o occupy the same plane as the violin
at that he oyerdd his part somewhat
nd III consequence there was not the
mutually complementary ensemble
Fhich the lovely old, unaffected COM
position calls for. Sarasate and Bertha
Marx used to play the fantasia, and
