Quality, Tone and Price
Considered, the
Haddorff
Piano
IS THE BEST PIANO OBTAINABLE
When selecting a piano .there are many things
to be taken into consideration. Aside from the self-evident
points of quality and tone, there must also be con
sidered the reputation of the concern and the service
to be had after the piano is purchased. And the price
must be right. Here you can purchase DIRECT from
the factory, thus effecting a EEAL SAVING and elim
inating the Dealer's Profit.
See our line before making a final decision.

through with interesting events. It
will be almost a novelty to have an
opera in a theater again, but a very
delightful novelty at that, and ought
to meet with a hearty response from
those who love the accessories as well
as the opera itself.
The operas snd stars listed for
Omaha lead us to expect great things
from this comoanv. which cave such
excellent productions last season. We
haven't had as many orchestral con
certs this season as last year, and that
is to be regretted, for there is a steady
and gradual growth of an orchestra
loving public in our city, and oppor
tunities to develop this taste are all
too few and far between. Zimbalist
as soloist is also interesting. But
Thursday night of this week comes
the most talked-of star for many a
long year Mme Galli-Curci, soprano
of the Chicago Opera company, and
the. sensation of the musical season,
will appear in a song recital at the
Boyd theater on Thursday evening,
March 22, under the auspices of the
Tuesday morning Musical club. The
program will begin promptly at 8:15
o'clock and will be as follows:

The more I think about the organ
recital by Mr. Zeuch, the more 1 won
der about the program he played.
Surely it can't be that he does
not play the larger organ num
bers that he did not choose
them. Is he one who feels so
assured of his reputation that he does
not consider it necessary to go to the
exertion of doing so, or is he one of
those provincial souls who lives in a
big city buried in his music, as it
were, and who thought he was com
ing out to some little western hamlet
where 'most anything would do? We
were amazed, also, to have him an
nuonce that before he arrived on the
morning of the concert he did not
know the range and capabilities of
the instrument. He could have found
out with very little trouble, either
from the Skinner company or the
church committee, and schemed out
his program accordingly. But how
could he sidestep so many wonderful
concert numbers for organ as there
are, which would show off the wealth
and glory of the instrument to the
greatest advantage, it is hard to un
derstand. There are the Mendels
sohn "Sonatas," gorgeous things, and
Omaha people greatly admire Men
delssohn; beautiful and majestic so
natas by Alexandre Guilmant, his
"Marche Funebre" and "Chant Ser
aphique," a ravishing and impressive
number; innumerable other works bv
the same composer, by Saint Saens.
Bach, Widor and various other cele
brated organ composers,, including
Borowski, and several Americans,
from which he could have chosen an
excellent and more representative
program. There are brilliant and
beautiful numbers, but, of course,
they are not easy. They require con
siderable skill. Any one or two of
these larger strictly organ numbers
in place of some of the more trivial
transcriptions would have added
backbone to his program. An ordinary
church organist could have played
the program he did, and, without even
thinking, I can name at least three or
four Omaha organists who would
have put up a much better recital pro-
fram and played "America" and "The
tar-Spangled Banner" more inspir
ing in the bargain. The Presby
terians have not heard their new or
gan at the height of its resources,
because the music presented did not
demand them. Let us look forward to
another time.
How much the health of music de
pends upon the cleanness of its repro
duction. Cleanness of tone produc
tion, of pitch, of phrasing and; of the
multitude of details which go to make
up the sum total of its existence.
What is more satisfying than a beau
tiful clear run, either vocally or upon
an instrument, in which every note

The indications are that all three performance s will enjoy capacity business, and why not, for both press and public were lavish in their praise of the
wonderful performance of opera given by this company upon the occasion of its first visit to Omaha, and, with the added attraction of two operas entirely
new to Omaha, given where one can see and hear perfectly, as well as enjoy every comfort, our suggestion is to make your reservations immediately.
