- amn - e - e h - .~ o drt s 3 | | ] | { { | | ‘ By HENRIETTA M. REES. J. HENDERSON wrote an ar- ticle recently in the New York Sun very much to the point in regard to the vast number of mediocrities to be found In the musical world. and for new artists who are able to make upon the concert platform. He sald in part: they all too often discover is misguided young woman or man has about the same degree of talent musio as some ninety or a hundred persons in the audience have and who conservatories or sing as well as some accomplished amateurs. In a single sea- #on a music critic may hear something than two or three aspirants of whom it oan confidently be said that they will be heard In public three years hence. Most of them fade away into silence and bitter disappointment. Hundreds toill through the dull years at the profitiess business of teaching others what they could not do themselves. ““Whence come all these strange appari- tions of the local concert stage?. Why do they come? Who tells them the cruel falsehood that they have the gifts and the accomplishments necessary to suc- cess In & profession which has only a top and a bottom and no middle? In music there Ia no place for mediocrity. You are u suceess or a failure. That is the end of It. You need not perhaps be Paderewski, Bauer, Hofmann, Sembrich or Kreisler, but you must be fit to walk Just behind their shoulders.” Part of which goes to show that it is not enough just to be good In a musical way. In our haste in music study we are too prone to say it s good enough and leave the composition we are studying When it is not nearly the best that wo can do, If students would get the best habit in their earliest studies they would progress so much more rapidly later. And it, instead of asking themselves If their ‘work is the best they can do, they would ask instead If it Is the best that it can possibly be done, they may meet more rocks in the early part of the game, more discouragements and seemingly Insur- mountable obstacies, but If they overcome them and always stand for the best there is, they will have smoother salling in the later stages. If this kind of work is done under the guldance of a good teacher and bullt upon a genuine musical talent, which under proper guidance is developed to its utmost through years of patient diligence, then and then only will there be ©o cause for complaint among the severest of critics. But it requires be- sides musical talent, and careful teach- ing en indomitable spirit. 5!¥E;£i £ 4 i ;1 8 HT 5 _1; | i g ! § 2EFE I i i I ;‘ z : | E : | fil *;u i & e the nc- atfili- ated cludb _of New Forty- fifth to the use stay in New York very sood apd during are nu- il i 47 : i [ § t | | 4 ! | | | | | ! j !

Miss Nash completely captivated the audience with her brilllant reading of the Lisst “Hun- garian Fantasie” This young planist plays like & veteran, merging in her art an extraordinary combination of delicate Srace and strength. At the conclusion of her number there was a storm of ap- plause and the young soloist came back and played a Lisst etude. Freo Presa: Miss Frances Nash was the plano soloist of the afterncon and scored a pronounced suoccess in her play- Ing of the Liest “Hungarian Fantasie.” Miss Nash has many sterling qualities to commend attention as an artist of splendid ability. She produces a tone of great volume, yet never permitting her- self to dverstep the mark where her play- ing might become pounding. Her tech- nique is brilllant and easily met the de- | Auditorium, presented by the Omaha Re- g 1] g 1 i E 2 mands which Lisst's grateful number makes upon the performer.

Journal: Miss Frances Nash, In Lisst'a “Hungarian Fantasie,” showed herself an artist of extraordinary skill and vigor, altogether & planist of rare attainment. Bhe has distinctness of execution and clarity of phrasing that makes a work she is playing stand out clear in its full- ness, thereby adding understanding to its enjoyment. Miss Nash has set a high standard for the solists of the concerts. The Evening Wisconsin and Leader had similar complimentary notices. —s Musieal Notew.

Nash of the Concert Committee. T0O BE NO REDUCED RATES “I thought we had emcountered all the possible difficulties when we were pre- paring for the Boston Symphony Orches- tra,” sald Mr. Louls Nash of the Charity Concert course committee a few days ago, “but it seems that many of them did not develop until after this conocert had taken place. ““The first unpleasantness we had to reckon with was the late arrival of a large portion of the audience, who were kept out in the entrance to the Audito- rium, as these famous performers will not tolerate the disturbance of seating people during a concert number. I be- lleve, however, that it was a lesson to a lot of people, and I only hope that every one will take warning for the Geraldine Farrar concert Tuesday evening, Novem- ber 33, as the concert will commence promptly at 8:3, and not a person will be admitted inside the Auditorium proper from 8:25 till after the first number is finished. “Another thing. The advance sale for the Farrar concert indicates that vast numbers are now convinced that they must buy early to get god seats. We spent nearly $2,000 advertising the Charity Concert courss, and not one advertise- ment appeared without the advice to se- cure seats early. Some who falled to do 80 were certainly disappointed on the occasion of the Boston Symphony Or- chestra concert. The day following that concert one of the committee was called on by a prominent soclety woman who was perfectly indignant that she had been assigned to seats way over on one side, ‘I never before in my life was treated like that. I always have the best seats in the theaters, and also In the Auditorium, and I was very much an- noyed.' ‘When did you engage your seats, madam? she was asked. ‘I got them ¢ | three days before the concert, and that ought to be far enough in advance for & house with the seating capacity of the Omaha Auditorfum. And, anyway, regu- lar concert-goers ought to be given pref- erence.” When It was explained to her that for the regular first row, and had only the for breath and sald: ‘I never heard any- seats right now.' And she did. This i Every order accompanied by check was ingly, And the same procedure is being followed for Farrar. Attractions of the FAR Dramatic or Om !

Much as we regret being unable to favor musical clubs, we have no seats to offer at a reduced price. Farrar, through her magnificent talent, her charming personality and her present fame as a moving plcture star, is today the most interesting operatic prima donna in the world, and we will without doubt oversell the Auditorium again for her appearance, as the demand for sittings has been in accordance with her deserved fame. “Only today a teacher in one of the South Side schools called me up to know it she could get twenty-one dollar septs In & row for the teachers in her school who wanted to make up a party.
