Steinway Hall—Liset Veatival. Mr. Juitus Sehuverth, the wustco publisher, an ar- dent admirer of Abdé Franz Liszt, gave a very inter- esting soirée on Saturday evening at the smalicr hall of Messrs, Steinway & Sons, which was attended by ® large and thoronghly appreciative and musi- cally mieiligent audience, The best instrumental artists im the chy appeared on the oe caston, The feature of the enure programme-- and it was indeed one of rare exceilence— was the magnificent playing of Tausig’s wonderful transcription of Strauss’ watz, “‘Soirce de Vienye.’’ We doubt if there is another pianist in America who could give this exceptional work the clear, intelll- gent interpretation that Mr. Milla threw into it last night. ‘Taasig imitates, in a syle which must be heard to be understood, ali the orchestral effects of Strauss, and calls for wrists of stee), an artistic appreciation and a perfect Kaleldoscope of color Which few pianists tiving can boast of, Mr, Ko- walski played a Potonaise, by Chopin, in a briliant, artistic manner, which left little to be desired.
