Little did the eplendid old artist and master-singer dream that In less than two hundred years, his principles would be preached to thou- sandg of readers, through the mighty press, and that there would be found those to honour, respect and obey him, in a far-off oart of a very far-off country, where at hat time buffalo herds were the only musi- clans, and wild Indians the only artists.

KELLY. ——— Musical Notes. Mr. Joseph Gahm, the ever-popular pi- anist, will give his recital on Thursday evening at First Congregational church under the auspices of the (8chool) “Teach- ers’ Annuity assoclation.” That Mr. Gahm has prepared a program which, from its very distinet novelty, will be of much in- terest, is proven by the following numbers which he has carefully chosen for his re- appearance in Omaha in concert. The ‘first group consists of Haydn's F-minor Variations: Menuetto, from a Sonata, Mo- zart: The A major nocturne of John Field, d Polonaise, Op. 9 of Paderewskl. The second group will consist of a Gluck- Brahms Gavotte, a Paganini-Schumann | Caprice, a Richard Stranss Revery (Traue- merel), 'two compositions by Joseph Gahm, and “Nalads at the Spring,” by Paul Juon. The third group will be the Mazurka B minor, Op. 33: the KBtude C-shgrp minor, and the Valse, G-flat, all by Chopin, and the Cantique d’Amour by Liszt. The clos- ing group will be ““Carneval Scenes,” Op. 18, by the modern, Constantin Corpu: These are, Entrance, Charmeur, Melpc mene and Thalla Fortuna. Procession of | voung artists. Harlequin and Colombine. Butterfly. Danse Macabre. Roller skat- ers. Moorish Dance. Comedians. Finale (March). Mr. Gahm will play only two of | his own compositions on this program, as he purposes presenting a program later which will be devoted entirely to his own | work along this line —— Miss Bella Robinson gave a puplls' re- cital at her studio last Monday evening.
