PADEREWSKI

SECOND RECITAL Three thousand people .cheered the world-famous pianist, Paderewski, at his opening recital in the Town Hall on Thursday night. The audience showed their undoubted respect for the man, and they manifested their admiration for a master musician, whose playing was a revelation. At to-mor-row night’s second concert, another brilliant programme of musical gems from the great masters will be submitted. One of the outstanding numbers will be Beethoven’s popular “Moonlight” Sonata, which has been aptly described as one of the most imaginative and poetic works in music. The Bach-Liszt “Fantasia and Fugue in G Minor,” Schubert’s brilliant “Impromptu in B Flat,” and the same composer’s beautifully pathetic “Impromptu in A Flat” (Op. 142). These varying compositions will be followed by Liszt’s arrangement of two of Schubert’s songs, “Serenade, Hark, Hark, the Lark,” and “Erk-King.” Again Paderewski will play several of Chopin’s compositions—“ Ballade in G Minor” (No. 1, Op. 23). with its irnpressvie finale, two etudes, No. 10 in A Flat and No. 5 in G Flat, which serve the technical purpose of teaching the different ways of phrasing the same figure. The second of the two is the well-known study on “black notes.” This will be followed by the same composer’s “Valse Brilliante.” Paderewski will also play his appealing “Chant du Voyageur" in B Major. Ernest Schelling’s impressive “Nocturne e Raguse” will follow. The official programme will conclude with Liszt’s glorious “Rliapsodie Hongroise” in A Minor. A special managerial notice intimates that the box plans are at Lewis R. Eady and Son’s, Ltd., and that reserved seats from 21s to 7s 6d may be purchased there.
