The programme last night was built upon ‘requests.’ Ho blazed his way triumphantly through two Beethoven sonatas, a long series of Chopin pieces, and other works by Brahms, Debussv, Ravel, Liszt, and, of course, his own delightful watlz. The audience went on ‘requesting’ until well after 11 o'clock.” The programme for to-morrow’s concert will include:—Organ Toccata and Fugue in D Minodr (Baeli-Tausig).
