 MUSICAL CLUB CONCERT
 The concert of the New Britain Musical club in the Camp school hall Tuesday evening va one Of those intimate, personal affairs for which the club has attained a marked reputation. The only dis concerting thing about the concert was that members of the club did not bring along sufficient guests to fill the hall entirely. There is no reason why at a concert Of such intrinsic merit, provided by many Of the leading musicians Of the city. there should not be packed house.
 The plano playing Of Isadorc Rosenberg appears to have at tracted unusual attention al the concert. This young man Is credited with having shown marked dis position 10 master the keyboard with a minimum of effort, indicat- ing that playing the piano comes as a natural gift to him. He has studied In New York and is at present. llNlh6 III AN'W iflli hiltt HID playing of Ravels Fountain" will not soon be forgotten. His selections constituted three, one of them by an American, Nathanial Dett. The trio composed of Frances r. Parker, piano; Margaret Perkins, cello, and Marion Woicott, violin, scintillated in the c minor trio Of Weber There are many master pieces Of music written for strings and plano which are little known and possess the characteristics of novelties. whereas every concert pianist has done the piano master pieces of Chopin and Schumann 10 the point of satiety by audiences, The Weber trio gave on inkling Of the great music written for combina- tions of instruments that are not ss commonly heard ss pianos, which is of the highest class, Bee thoven has written enormously ef- Actively trios and magnificent string auartets. yet they will be practically dead 10 the average con- cert goer or music lover unless played by combinations such as the resources of tho New Britain Musl- cal club can command.
