ENCORE! ENCORE!
TO THE EDITOB. Sir,—As one of a rather small audience, I was this evening present at a performance given by the Cherniavskis. I clapped my beat at tho performance (there were six or seven encores, and one double); but clapping and encoring gives the outsider no idea of the marvellous performances of these rontha. To me, the violin player (a lad of 2 B r?£? OT twent y) "wnw destined to be Kubeliks successor, if not his equal; while his brother at the piano (a bonnie laddie of about fourteen or fifteen) charmed everyone in the audience both in his solo work and in the trios. As for the wee chap who plays the 'cello, he found his way to the heart of every man and woman in the audi- . ence, and was rewarded with a double encore. When I entered the concert hall I was inclined to kick at the prices; when I came out I decided to go again, even if they were doubled. My name is, I suppose, known to you, sir, as a musician of a sort, and I would sincerely advise all lovers of-good playing to give these three brothers a hearing. They will find the music to be of superlative quality, and they will go a second, third, ard fourth time, and (like the immortal Oliver) want " more!"—l am etc., Encore. December 26.
