MUSIC AND MUSICIANS
CONSERVATORY FACULTY
RECITAL LAST NIGHT
Three members of the faculty of
the Fargo conservatory, A.. J.
Stephens, violinist Manzanita E.
Stephens, soprano anL Lillian C.
Wright, accompanist, were presented
Iti a recital at the .Stone music hall
last evening1. It proved to be one of
the most valuable and artistic events
of the present season. It was only
necessary to hear the applause and
"witness the display of enthusiasm in
the audience, which nearly filled the
large hall, to appreciate the opening
renditions of Mr. and Mrs. Stephens In
their respective numbers and Miss
Wright as the skilful accompanist she
always is shared the honors of the
evening, especially did those present
seem to be grateful after the splendid
work she did in playing the exacting
accompaniment in the opening violin
fcumber played by. Mr. Stephens.
It might be stated that the Ruben
aitein sonata was the major novelty of
the programme and Mr. Stephens'
Interpretation of it was a delight to
the lovers of artistic and satisfying
violin playing. There were four move
ments and the applause at the end
of the first one was perhaps the most
spontaneous. The player prominently
Scored again after the playing of the
group of four works in the middle
of the programme and the rendition of
the closing numbers of the program
me were marked by wonderful dignity
and beauty. Several times Mr.
Stephens and his skillful accompanist
were recalled. Nowhere was the
quality of the tone given at the ex
Iipnse of beauty and sweetness and
today the player has more friends than
ever.
By no means was Mrs. Stephens less
prominent in thd beautiful rendition
of the numbers for which she wa3
(programmed. She was in her best
voice. Earlier in the day the singer's
friends said she had a slight cold, but
It was not visible last night. Mrs.
Stephen^ sang admirably and every
one of her numbers was perfectly
.memorized. In the second number
which was sung in Italian the singer's
voice disclosed an increased warmth
which gave great pleasure to the list
eners. Nothing on her programme was
finer .1'rom. the standpoint of beautiful
tone, perfect breath control and phras
ing than was the selection from Aida,
by Vtrdi. It was hearing the beauties
in tlio art of singing, instead of list
ening to hear flaws and the students
present received an invaluable lession.
She was given recalls and she graci
ously responded with dainty encores.

Vienna to study with his countryman,
Leschetltsld.
For over a year he worked in Vien
na spending an average of eighteen
hours a day at his instrument and
playing practically nothing but scales.
His money gave out and he accepted,
a position in the Strassburg conserv
atory. He was so tired and discour
aged he made up his mind definitely,
to abandon the piano when, on one
fortunate day, hf met Modjeska, thQ
idol of the Polish race. He played foe
her and so impressed was she with
his work that she fairly drove him
back to Vienna, to continqe his stud
ies. A year later the world heard of
this wonderful new "pianist.
To the time of Modjeska's death
she and Paderewski were closest and
warmest friends. He was often her
guest at her house In California and
she often visited him in Switzerland
and on his Russian estate. He waa
one of the mourners at, her grave and!
when, in the sqmmer of 1909, thei
beautiful monument:' to her memory
was dedicated in me city of Cracow,
it was Paderewski who made the ded-i
icatory speech.
Music at Ellendale Normal.
Announcements say that the first
recital under the auspices of the mu
sic department of the Normal-Indus
trial school, Ellendale, was scheduled
for last night when pupils of the de
partment were presented by the di
rector, Jacob Schutz, and given in
Carnegie hall.
A cantata, A. Day in Roseland, waa
given by.the Schubert Glee club, with
soprano solo by Miss Frances Walker,
and contralto solo by Miss Ruth Haas.
This cantata, a very pretty and tune
ful one, was written by a Boston mu
sician, and has been enthusiastically
received everywhere. It is a greeeting
to all the fascinating beauty of mid
summer time.
The first part of the programme con
sisted of different Instrumental num
bers, among which special mention
^ought to be made of two beautiful
selections for two pianos, one of them,
Beethoven's immortal Sonata Pathe
tique, and the other a grand fantasia
from Verdi's famous opera, II Trova
tore, which selection is attracting
world-wide attention on account of
the centennial celebrations in honor of
Verdi.
Another selection on the programme
was Edward Grieg's Norwegian Bri
dal Procession, everywhere recognized
as one of the most characteristic pi
ano selections on the nineteenth cen
tury. The first part of the programme
was closed with Brahm's masterpiece
of lyric songs, Lullaby, sung by the
Schubert Glee club.
Paderewski's Minneapolis Programrrfe.
The night previous to his appear
ance in Fargo, Dec. 10, Mr. Paderew
ski will appear in Minneapolis under
the local management of Carlo Fisch
er and Richard Horgan and they were
so pleased with the programme which
the great pianist gave at Boston that
they arranged for its rendition in the
flour city. It is as follows:
Prelude and Fugue In A minor ....
V* Bach-Liszt
Sonata in E major. Opus 109 ......
e e o v e n
a—Vivace.
b—Prestissimo.
c—Andapte.
CarnaVal Schumann
Nocturne, E. major, Opus 62 .....
Mazurka, minor Chopin

a—Grave—Dopplo MovlmentO
s'
b—Scherzo
c—Marche Funebre.
Two Etudes ..^JaiBzt
a—Walderrauschen.
b—La Campanella.
Simple though the arrangement of
such a programme may appear to the
-layman, musicians say it is really a
matter of the utmost difficulty. Manv
of the foremost pianists fail in the se
lection of well balanced programmes
and accordingly do not meet with the
recognition of the ability which is
theirs. Paderewski is considered to
be one of the very best programme
builders and his programmes for
Minneapolis and Fargo are regarded,
as of exceptional Interest. For com-
