MOISEIWITCH.

Bcnno Moiselwitch, the famous Russian pianist, will give his second recital in Wellington to-night, in a programme that should appeal to-all music lovers. Tho programme inchides the names of tho favourite composers, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Beethoven, Medtner, Prokofleff, Liadoff, Liszt, Schubert, Tauslg. Whether in romantic mood or in crashing tho fortissimos, Jlolseiwitch is a sterling exponent of the old masters; as well as a sympathetic interpreter of more modern compositions. Ho will play the Moonlight Sonata of Beethoven. The ambition of most students is to play this them- • selves, and it should be a distinct help to them to hear how Moiselwitsch expounds its beauties. Chopin eiudes are always worth hearing, and nono more entrancing to the ear than the G Flat Major, Op. 25, one, known as Butterfly, thing of grace and airy beauty; the G Flat Major Op. 10 composition, familiarly called Black Keys, and the Raindrop Prelude in D Flat Major. Jlolseiwitsch is said to give a flawless performance of tho Jfarcbe MUltaire of Schubert-Tausig, a magnificently/ big work that is at the end of the programme. Tho Rondo Caprlccloso of Mendelssohn should delight, as should also Liadoff's Musical Box i representation, La Tabatlerc. For tho first1 time in New Zealand, Meddler's Fairy Talc an E Minor revelation, will bo played; while other names include tho Licbestranm of Liszt and the Suggestions Dlabollquo of Prokofh-fT Tho third and final recital' is announced for Tuesday night.
