There were a few notable exceptions. The Schuberth Romania had great pathetic strength. Its plead isg subject moved one strongly, rising and falling with passionate pulsings. It had something of the Chopin spirit, something of the complaint of the G minor nocturne. 11 he Scherao was wil fully brilliant, with a queer subject in long skips, varied with very delicate passages. The Beethoven Allegro kept one busy; it was full of odd turns, now here, bow there, impulsive, pretty, keep ing one always in wonder as to what it would do next. Beethoven, at his lighter moods, has a good deal of the child or the playful kitten. He lets himself go, regardless of decorum or precedent, in a wild game of "follow your leader.' And the listener likes the chase. The Mozart Quoniam from the Mass in G ended the concert. It has a strong ly rythmic subject as was given with energy. It has none of the mysterious ecstacies of religion, it is good hearty praise. Indeed it has not the gravity that we of today are inclined to attach to church music (Gospel hymns are sot church music, they belong in re vival halls). It carries us back almost to the glad old days when strong mec were not ashamed to dance joyously be fore the Lord, and to invite the little hills to do the same. The rest of the quartet numbers were the well known Dudelsack, the Angel's Lullaby, a little insipid, though with a pretty morendo effect at the end, and a Faucosier meditation, delicately tune ful, with a protty "Amec" effect in the The soloist was Miss Davis. She played Vieuztemps Reverie. She did very strong work in the more rapid passages, but the quieter passages seemed be yond her. She must get better tone, must get rid of thft woody, fibrous sound. Violin music demands more than technique, more, even, than technique and feeling. It demands tone, ability to make the instrument ring. Mire 'Davie should, for a time, give her whole attention to this. Without it, she may get applause in Lincoln, but cannot be come a very strong player. Mr. Tucker and Mrs. Cheney sang an aria from Verdi's "I Masnadieri." Mr. Tucker should leave Lincoln for a while, he showB bad symptoms of the prevalent tremolo. He should also try to get rid of a certain "fuzzy" quality that injures his tone. Mrs. Cheney's work seemed perfunctory and unsym pathetic, her voice, in some parts, rings rather harsh. The duet had one great merit, it was sung in tune and that is. when one thinks of some things one hears, no small merit. At the concert of the Philharmonic orchestra, to be given on the 25th, Mr. Hagenow will give a number of very strong compositions. Among them will be Dvorak's Slavonic dances, Mozart's well known overture to Don Giovanni, Meyerbeers brilliant Coronation march, and the Lohengrin Bridal chorus. Ad ditional number's will be vocal solos by Mrs. Lippincott and Mr. Seamark, songs by the vocal quartet, a piano solo by Mrs. Herzog, whose work is beginning to become known among us, and Lapin ski's celebrated Concerto Militaire. played by Mr. Charles Hagenow. Every thing points to a very strong concert. It is only by joining in the building up of local music that we can make Lincoln a musical centre. It is to be hoped that the public will show that it is going to be feasible to support classical music here. Success should be made a matter local pride. It is always pleasant to hear Sulli van's comic music. Hn reminds me of a naughty choir boy Mr. Seamark may have met such out on a picnic. He uses all his church "properties" even the intoning to the most irrever ent purpose. And his real fun when he lets it out, is riotously yet innocently happy. His music may be thin. It has always, however, dash and swing, and keeps reasserting itself in one's memory on all sorts of irrelevant occasions. It is easy music to sing, for it is hard music to spoil. The Damrosch opera is being enthusi astically received in the east. Dam roach's new opera, the "Scarlet Letter," neems to be not entirely a success if critics tell the truth. I hear, by the way, that Mr. Damrosch has fallen foul of the Boston Journal and refused it advertising, all because he didn't like what its critic, Mr. Philip Hall, said of him. But the Journal went right on. Marsck,the violinist, is in this coun try. At present, ho wever, he is disabled by the bite of a "veno mous insect," and cannot play at all. Great preparations are being made for the Cincinnati May festival. Klofsky, Daviesand other well known artists will sing. Thomas' orchestra is to fur nish accompaniment. If only our May festival would revive! At theUniversalist concert, a baby in white talked a good deal. But its mother was very patient. A pale young woman with bleached hair sat on the gallery rail and ate red candy. These were the most picturesque exhibitions of taste.
