10 THE COURIER. MUSICAL MENTION, John Rvfrnou'ii. f On MontlHy, Mr. 'Hurry Kiiiiiob mado what whb practicnlly his Becond public HppoHranco in Linjooln, being hoard at tho Matinco Musiealo rooms ami under the niipplccA of that organization. Mr. EumeH whb heard with ardent pleasure by an audienco which included nearly all tho prominent musicians of thin city. The topic of tho lecture whb tho niiifiic of Russii;; it was somewhat informal in character and was ilhifltrntod at tho piano forto by tho lecturer himpclf. I found tho lecture both informing and agreeable, calculated to awako an in toreflt in a Held of knowledge but littlo tilled. It ia a pity that it whb not heard by a larger number of atudentB, for it would undoubtedly havo boon UBoful to them. The average studont of music ia too often satislicd with aix hours of piano forto technique when ho may need a broador acquaintnnco with tho litera ture of tho art he striveB to lcain. Pur haps tho most delightful foaturo of tho program of piano forto music given by Mr. Eamen during and after hid re marks wqb its almost uniquo froshncBs. ThobluBO concert goer has lenrnod to anticipate just bo many pieces of Ohopin, a sonata of Beethoven and tho inevi table Liezt "Hungurian llhat.eody." It waa refreshing to Bcotho unfamiliar names (Jlazounow, Ualakirow and others. Moreover tho compositions are evidently well worthy of study, although at flrat bearing it ia most obvious that Peter Ilyitch TecbaikowBky stands bead and shoulders above the rest in almost every reepoct. NovertheloEs the prelude in 0 sharp minor of Rachmani noff, previously played hero by Mr. Eamea, awakened a now interest and an impassioned and dignified composition. Moreover the preludo in D flat by Glazounow with its ultra Wagnerian hBraionies is a most impressive compo sition. Of course Rubinstein whb re presented on a program given over to "Russian Music." Throe fumiliar pieces of this matter woro played after a sym pathetic review of his life and work. As encores Mr. Eames ropiated the Glazounow prelude and played the well known "Melody in F"' of Rubinstein. It 6e ma to mo that tho music of tho concert waa well adapted to display Mr. Eamea at hia best. His capacity for the expression of emotion iB great, emo tion of the intense and tragic variety as well as pathos and the varing shades of passion. It is ceedleEB to bay that his technique was equal to all demands made upon it. I append tho progtnm as usurtlas a matter of record: Folk songs, hurmoniz'U by Bidakirew, Rimsky Koradkow.
