Last evening was one of the most enjoyable that have been given. It was devoted to tracing the influence of the modern composers, Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Schumann, especially as illustrated by their songs. The musical portion was exceedingly interesting, and was charmingly rendered by Miss Eames, soprano, Miss Edmands, contralto, and by Professor Paine himself, who played three piano pieces of Schumann's. It was a pleasure to hear him again in piano solos of importance; his piano recitals of several years ago will be remembered as enjoyable. The songs consisted of three by Schubert, some two part songs by Mendelssohn and Rubinstein, and some especially delightful ones by Schumann and Franz.
The next lecture will take up the modern instrumental composers, Liszt, Berlioz, Rubinstein, Brahms, etc.
