Yet the impression on the minds of afl leaving Steinway Hall, atid there was'a large and fashionable audience at the concert, was that Miss Alide Topp was an artist of Tare talorit and considerable versatility. A clear, vigorous and well delivered touch, a trace of womanly sentinaent im Fendering a great composer's idens, amd a poetic, delicate and exquisite interpretation of each work were the characteristics of Misa Topp’s playing.
