VLADIMIR PE PACHIHX'S VISIT.
Ton Buelow's Eccital as It Sounded to Mr.
BeTeridge Webster.
GOSSir OF SIKGEES AKD HiAIEES
The Allegheny Musical Association gave
its second concert at Carnegie Music Hall
last Thursday evening in the presence of a
larpe and representative audience. Such a
turnout evinces a strong disposition on the
part of the Allegheny public to encourage
the first permanent choral organization
found within its jurisdiction. With the
handsome new hall and its superb organ we
may expect to see the sister city more and
more abandoned to the practice of concert
going. It might do much worse.
First on the programme came Jensen's
cantata, "The Feast of Adonis," which
romantic and rather weak work, was given
two years ago by the Mozart Club, and need
not "now be reviewed in -detail. Its per
formance at least the second halt, which is
all the writer heard was in most respects
all that could fairly be expected from a chorns
still comparatively new to concert work. A
certain lack of vim and vigor, no doubt, lav as
much in the music itself as in the performing
lorcc The chorus comprises some TO or bO
voices, mostly pood material, of very fair qual
ity as resards tone and well balanced In the
several parts. In Bishop's part-song, with
soprano solo, the chorus is to be accredited
with a particuiaily smooth and soft staccato
accompaniment.
But the cDoral triumph wa scored in Fin
euti's familiar ana singable part-soup, "The
Sea Hath Its l'earls," which received an alto
gether delightful interpretation. The attacks
were sure, the intonations clean, the phrasing
clear, the shading (both by all parts together
and by one part against the others) remarkably
fine and the wbole song imbued with the high
est expressiveness. Director V. A. Laffertv
may justly feel proud of that bit of choral
work: if the same qualities can be preserved
In worthy works of larger caliber, the Alle
gheny Musical Association will prove a decided
ucqnisition to the community's list of musical
organizations.
In the cantata a small and ineffective orches
tra, partly amateur, played at tbo score; tbe
accompanying reallj devolved upon Mr. John
A. Bell's skillful w ork at the organ. Mr. Bell
ma; here be credited also with the excep
tionally discreet and satisfactory pi
ano accompaniments he furnished for
tbe remaining vocal numbers of tbe
evening. Mies Grace Miller, Miss Emma
White and Miss Elsie O'Xeil sang pleasantly
the trio in the cantata. Miss Miller also sang
the solo parts in tbe "Adonis" and Bishop's
part-song witn much taste, though neither
work anorded a favorable opportunity for the
manifestation of feeling, whether lyric or
dramatic. Miss Miller's soprano is one of rare
sweetness and sympathetic quality.
Among tbe solo numbers, interest centered,
of conrse, upon Mr. Uddy's playing of the new
Roosevelt organ its first public trial by an
acknowledged master of all the modern re
sources of the "king of Instruments." Barring
the accidental slipping of one at the
motor chains tthieh left the big bellows
breathless tor a tune, and the fact that some
flue stops were out of tune, the organ
stood the test splendidly thoroughly jus
tifying the warm commendation of its
quality pronounced by Mr. Eddy after
tlie concert. From a technical standpoint
and as regards the display of the organ's re
sources, Mr. Eddy's plaj mg was well-nigh un
impeachable. The lack of distinctness in the
tremendously difficult finale of Tbiele's A flat
variations and in other rapid ana
complex passages including the lovelv
little flute cadenzas In tho "Oberon"
overture about exhausts adverse comment.
Among many good points, special nipntiou
may be made of tbe snnerb nedal work in nrh'
F Major Toccata and Best's "Fantasia on a
.Welsh March," the elaborate and tasteful regis
tration of Guilraant's splendid "Scherzo Sym
phonique" and tbeplayer'sownpot-pourrifroni
"Faust," the extremely dainty treatment of
the Martini and "Mignon" gavotte and the ad
mirably smooth plajmg of the ticklish Thielc
variations for flute and pedal alternating. In
tho matter of musical feeling and artistic
se:iibilltj, however, Mr. Eddy's interpretation
of tho more romantic compositions was gener
ally unsatisfactory.
Mrs. Helen T. Boice Hnnsickcr, of Fhiladcl-
Lbia, chose for her first appearance two well
nown ballads, and sang them with rare sim
plicity and directness of expression and jet
rarer clearness ot enunciation. Her voice is a
pure, sympathetic soprano, of good carrying
power, thouch not powerful. She produced
and controlled its tones with delight
ful ease, except in the very high
est register. Victor Herbert's lovely lyric,
"The Bilent Rose," and W. W. Gilchrist's
big. splendid song, "Heart's Delight," were in
vested with a fervor that amply justified the
audience in a hearty recall, which brought out
Lasen's seldom-heard song, "The Gipsy Boy in
the North."
Miss HatileC. McLaln, of Boston, selected
the favorite "Xobil Siignor" for her entree
upon our concert stage. While her vocaliza
tion was not absolutely perfect, the aria was
smoothly and effectively given. Her voice is a
contralto of a peculiarly rich, luscious quality
and considerable range, though its upper
tones lack resonance. On encore, she sang
A soft, low lullaby by Norris, whlcli like
Bobm's 'Still wie dio Nacht" lay In her best
register and was admirably delivered. Meer
Helmund's "The Morning," completed Miss
McLain's conquest of the audience.
Both ladies, by the way. spoke to the writer
of the acoustic quality of the new hall, declar
ing inai tney lound it unusually easy to sing in,
the voice seeminc to carry without effort.
la a chance conversation yesterday with that
excellent pianist and connoisseur, Mr. Bev
erldge Webster, tho topic of Von Buelow's re
cital tbe evening before naturally arose, and in
tbe conrse of tbe talk Mr. Webster inadvert
ently admitted that on going home from tho re
cital be bad hastily ana informally written
down bis impressions for bis own satisfaction.
After some persuasion he consented to let
those impressions bo printed in this morning's
column which tbe present writer is the more
glad to do from a consciousness that his own
physical condition on Friday evening prevented
the review in yesterday's paper from going
into all tbe phases of that Important recital.
Mr. Webster's impressions were as follows:
"It was certainly a surprisingly dull concert,
boih in the iew of the critic and of the public,
which Is not critical. There was a certain
amount of applause, of the sort determined by
the consciousness of the rank of the performer
and the price of the seat. An auditor wbo has
been well coached by tbe advertising and wbo
has paid a high price of admission knows what
he is at the concert for, and is emphatically de
termined to have bis money's wortb. He is
usually of a practical, business turn, and, con
ceiving that there must be a direct ratio be
tween pleasure and applause, be avoids the
danger of throwing a reflex doubt at once on
the value of his investment and his musical
appreciation by applauding most vigorously.
Tbe formality is alwjjs apparent. The reason
for tbe lack of enthusiasm at the Buelow con
cert seems to mo to lie not so much in the
player as in tho programme. Tho Western
audience requires a more saccharine diet. An
unmusical audience must have marked rhythms,
flowing tunes, clear construction ana brilliant
passages.
"This is the true state of our audience here
and it would be far better to recognize the fact
than to present to it a list of music which for
the most part, could appeal only to a distinct
ively musical taste and training. To cultivate
and help the musical understanding it is first
necessary in some degree to command the in
terest of tbe audience. The player himself
aims to programme tbe best possible music,
but bis taste is an infinite series of removes
above and beyond his audience He must
make some allowance for this great gulf. With
phenomenal consistency pianists play only
good music. Who can point to the pianist of
rank who plays tbe equivalent of barasate's
"Barnyard" trick piece, of Patti's and
NtUaon's perennial "Last Hose of Summer."
or of tbe innumerable samples of rubbish
played on the organ?
"Bu
iiut even plants is may consider the status
of the audienoe. and local managers one-lit to
know and indicate it to them. Tbe Von Bue
low programme was consistently and har
moniously arranged, but did not serve tbe pur
pose of interesting the audience as it might.
The Mozart fantasir. with its slow development
and exhaustive treatment of small motives,
does not appeal to a general taste, in spite of
its great harmonic purity and beauty. The
fugue is splendid, but again, a f ugue is never
Intellectually grasped and Its general musical
spirit but seldom. Tbe Bach Sarabande was
beautifully played, and consecutively followed
by the allegro of the concerto; then the an
dante and presto were grouped together, go
that tbe greater part Of the audience had "lost
Its place" in the programme by the time the
player began tbe Beethoven sonata appassion
ata. The Bach numbers, except the Sara
bande, suffered from the same absence of
variety in rhythm and consecutive melodic de
velopment. "ll-e programme might have begun with the
Beef hqven. Sonau and omitted the Raffsuite,
which pojsiuly holds a place in Buelow's pro
grammes as much for sentimental reasons as
for any preeminent musical attractiveness.
There would then be room for jnor of the
romantic SCbOQL Chonln Hehumann and thAir
d JUnd. It ia lOS8lbla that thr thpn mitrht v-wmn I
Ikanbeea room f or the admission of something
by Buelow's contemporary, Rubinstein, who
certainly writes acceptable music, ntckt
uahrt Of tbe piaving little need be said.
Buelow ranks himself as a player with D' Albert
and Rubinstein, and Buelow should know. He
was, for him. very Inaccurate. He used some
times an inelastic touch from the elbow, pro
ducing a harsh tone from the Instrument,
which may have been its fault. His trill and
passage-playing are perfection. His interpre
tations of Beethoven are bis recognized strong
hold. Yet it is Impossible to avoid a compari
son with and preference for D' Albert's sonata
appassionata. In the slow movement it seems to
me that the theme and first variations suffered
from an exaggeration of the sforzalo marks,
which are surely only signs of relative power;
and from a short, dry playing of the right hand
chords in the first variation. In tbe last move
ment I prefer the motive ending given by Dr.
RIcmann to the one used by Buelow and en
forced by the figuring in hi own edttlorfot the
Sonata. The trite Chopin Berceuse had some
odd rbythmic treatment, the Scherzo was ex
tremely brilliant, and tho awkward impromptu,
op. 36. was made effective. The Liszt Taran
tclle showed some signs of physical tire.
And now for Pacbmann, the Cboplnist. Ha
comes to Old City Hall, May 9, with the fol
lowing programme of Chopin's works ex
clusively: 1. Sonata, Opus 35; 2, Ballade. Opus SS; 8,

Tins SKctcn or 1'acumana career win dc oi
interest just now;
"Valdimlr de Pachmann was born at Odessa,
July 27, 1S4S. His father was a professor in the
University, and an amateur violinist of celebri
ty. Previous to taking up bis abobe in Russia,
de Pacbmann pere had lived in Vienna, and
come In freqnent contact with Beethoven.
Weber and other great musicians of tho period.
He was his son's first teacher. In 1868, how
ever, young da Pachmann was sent to tbe Con
scrvatonnm at Vienna, where he studied two
years unaer Prof. Dachs. In lSd9 the youth re
turned to Russia and made a successful public
debut. But bis performances were not satis
factory to himself, and he withdrew into pri
vate life for eight years and devoted himself to
continuous study. Another emergence failed
to content the pianist, and once again be went
into retirement. Two years afterward be
camo forth in Vienna, and this time his
efforts won the approval not merely
of tbn public, but also of the virtuoso. In May,
1S8Z, he effected bis first appearance in London
at otie of Mr. Ganz's orchestral concerts, and
Interpreted Beethoven's E flat concerto,
achieving, says Sir George Grove, "a brilliant
success." His recitals have ever since been a
regular feature of the London season, and his
enormous popularity as a Chopin player has
caused him to make Chopin programmes a
specialty. In tho winter seasons M. de Pach
mann's time has been filled with concert tours
in France, Germany. Italy and Russia.
Apropos of tbe coming here of Edouard
Strauss and his Vieneso Orchestra, the follow
lowing letter is in point it being warranted by
Mr. George A. Jenks, press agent for the
Strauss engagement here, to be more surely
anthentic tban certain soap and face powder
testimonials bearing tbe same signature:
"Metropolian Opzba Hoitse, 1
New Yohk. April 21, 1S90.
"To the Hon. Joel B. Erhardt, Collector of the
Port:
"Deab Sib 1 knowhow perfectly the Strauss
Orchestra, of Vienna, under the spirited direc
tion ot Edward Strauss, plavs tbe bewitching
dance music which has made tho Strauss name
famous throughout tbe world.
It is. therefore, impossible to imagine that
American musicians will try to prevent their
music loving countrymen from enjoying the
playing of this wonderful orchestra, and, if the
law allows artists to visit it and charm you,
then I am Euro no one can keen the Strauss
Orchestra out of America, for its players are
surely artists. Sincerely yours.

One Reason
Why nearly everybody should take a good med
iclne In tbe spring Is because at this season the
system is especially susceptible to the benefit
to be derived from a reliable preparation like
Hood's Sarsaparllla. In the winter varions
impurities accumulate in the blood, the effect
ot which is most felt when spring comes on, in
general weakness and languor. The system
craves assistance to maintain the health, tone
and expel impurities which Hood'i Sarsaparilla
readily gives. Try it.
"For five years I was sick every spring, but
last year began in February to take Hood's
Sarsaparilla, I nsed five bottles and have not
seen a sick day since." G. W. SLOAN, Milton,

A Scene in a Church.
There was a ludicrously sudden descent from
the sublime to the ridiculous in a country
church when a cleri
miseries entailed by
reyman, preaching on tbe
ysin, suddenly cxciaimea:
"Thank God, I am not a sufferer: my miseries
have all been healed, and what did it?" The
change of tone started one or the deacons
from a drowsy mood, and springing to bis feet,
be cried out: "Tutt's Liver Pills." The deacon
was right in his estimation of this celebrated
medicine. They will certainly cure yonr "mlse.
rics" if they result from dyspepsia, torpid
liver, chills, headache, loss of appetite, costive
bowels, malaria or general debility. Take the
dtacon's advice and try them.

TAILORING.
The Journal of Fashion Says:
"There Is nothing thatmore clearly Illustrates
the great progress Merchant Tailoring has
made in tbe direction of art than tbe absence
of anything grotesque, incongruous or extrava
gant in gentlemen's fashions. Everythlnz is in
good taste, and the garments now popular are
unusually graceful."
If you intend ordering any Spring Gar
ments, you can depend upon our Tailoring
Department for artistic making. Our cut
ters and tailors are the equal of the best in
the profession, our selection of Overcoatings,
Suitings and Pantaloonings it as complete
as the most lastidions can desire, and for the
same high standard of work you will find
our prices the lowest. The faet that many
of our best-dressed and well-known gentle
men are patrons of our Tailoring Depart
ment is suretv of high grade work. A trial
order solicited.
