N announcement of extraordinary
mad thla ' week by
and Wynn Coman. A
recital with Harold
Bauer, pianist, and Ftlta Krelsler,
violinist, will be given early In March
iastead of tha Olive Mead string quar
tet concert formerly advertlaed the
fourth attraction, of tha 8 tears-Co man
erica.
Tha change la well worth while, and
has entailed much added work and
pens. Soma tt ma ago tha managers
Hf their c ha Bra to tour Kralalar
through tha weatern tarrttory, and re
membering tha popularity of. thla king
f vlollnlala on former vlnlta they hun
farad to brlnr htm again. But their
?aeon'a ticket Via already full and
with ona mora concert than In former
years, and ao many other mualcal at
tract lona had baa a offered for thla tea
eon by other management that they felt
hardly warranted la adding another con
cert to their series. , But when they
heard that Baaar, too, waa booked for a
western trip, the temptation proved too
r-trong for them, and by Juggling a date
here and a place there and by wringing
Bauer up through the aouth and Krela
lor down through the north they have
finally arranged to have the two artists
meet here to five a concert together In
place of tha scheduled Olive, Veade
quartet. . . , .
of courae tha new plan la much more
expensive I believe It la going to coat
them $1.00 more In Portland, for each
arttat must be paid aa for a run con
cert of hie own. But the combination
will undoubtedly be a strong .one and
the program should be ona of Hie beat
ever heard tiara. Kralalar. will brlnf
hi own accoropanlaL '
Both theve artiata hare appeared here
before with Immenae popularity. Krela
ler played here In April, 1905, at the
Marquam. and - Bauer played at the
Marquam In April, 1904, and at the
white Temple In October of tha next
year. Many think that Krelnler la the
beat of all the vlollnlala; that he la
more aatisfylnr than Kubellk. ilart
mann, Yaaye, Ceaar Thomaon, or any of
them. But, or courae, each haa ula ra-
vorite, ana every violinist carriea a air
ferent men sage to hla different hearer a,
Bauer, too, la held by aome to be the
rreateat of planlnta. Certain It la that
he comblnea faultleaa technic with a
mualcal understanding; and a- atrong
sentiment that la not sentimentality.
and that he la a satisfying medium for
sauarymg music.
A little aketch of either artiat might
not he out or place. Kreleler waa born
In Vienna and waa a child prodigy. At
the age of alz he appeared In concert
Vlth Adellna Pattl. - Hla infantile ca
reer waa cut ahort, however, by wlae
friends, and he returned to Paris to
study and to grow. He entered the
gymnasium and dropped ' hla muslo en
tirely for two years. He came to Amer
ica first aa a mature artist In 1900, and I
thla la his fourth visit to the states,
where he has always met with enthusi
asm, many hailing mm as tne true sue
