At tho Shubert theater on Monday evening the greatest woman pianist ln the world gave a concert. This was Madamo Teresa Carreno. She Is a Venezuelan Vene-zuelan by birth and Is tho author of the Venezuelan National hymn. Her first appearance ap-pearance on the stage was at n concert In the Academy of Music In New York when she was 9 years of age. Since then she has had many successes which have been repeated throughout every portion of the civilized world. Her latest triumphs tri-umphs have .been in England, Germany. America and Australia. For the past nine years sho has resided In Berlin, The audience which gathered at the Shubert was a large one, was enthusiastic, enthusi-astic, and gave Madame Carreno a splendid welcome. In turn this audience audi-ence was given a performance that was perfect, that was artistic and which calls only for superlative praise. And tho music was magnificent. The piano sang, tho piano stormed nt her will and tho audience was entranced over her interpretations inter-pretations of tho great masters of melody melo-dy and of harmony. As said, the audience audi-ence was enthusiastic and she was recalled re-called a number of times. And when the numbers upon the programme hnd been concluded this enthusiastic audience of Salt Lake music lovers would not allow her to leave tho stage and sho responded to tho applause .by giving two additional numbers It was a magnificent concert, ono which will long bo remembered by those who heard It. The fame of Carreno Is too general and positive to admit of a prolonged discussion dis-cussion of her merits or demerits. Nevertheless, Nev-ertheless, one may bo forgiven for respectful re-spectful personal opinions claiming only for such tho personal viewpoint. In listening to Carrono's reading one Is first of all and last of all Impressed with the element of mcntnllty manifested throughout. If he bo of the "intellectuals" "intellect-uals" he could not find a moro satisfying satisfy-ing player In the world. This remarkable woman occasions a comparison with the reputation of Von Bulow and must be scarcely less an academician in the art of piano Interpretations. If the listener bo a romanticist ho may find something wanting, for Impulsiveness was never farther from a player than It was Monday night when Carreno played. Subjectivity Subjec-tivity was completely held ln abeyance and tho conservative artist, always correct, cor-rect, exact and logical was strongly ln evidence. Making comparisons with other great playors Is taking an unfair stand, as a great artist desires to be unloue. Madame Mad-ame Carreno impressed her audience with tho fact that she is too great and dom-Inatlve dom-Inatlve a musical flguro to suffer by a comparison. Some may have desired tho thrill of sensational tempos and dynamics dyna-mics in the Liszt numbers. Others may have appreciated more emotlpnallsin and tondorness In the Chopin group and the conservative rendition of the Etudes Svmphonlquos may have disappointed a few, while if tho Bcolhoven sonata did not fully meet the expectations of all In nobility and elevation of style, this number num-ber was small indeed. Madamo Carreno's playing was not garish, gar-ish, it was not sickly sweet. It was not even temperamentally intense, rather was It truly beautiful and musically consistent. con-sistent. ... Carrono docs not make tho plain pretty, pret-ty, sho leaves tho poverty of a passage bare, but she transcribes the beautiful Into the sublime. Her playing has more of honesty and reason than of charm, and more of ioglc than of eloquence. A woman wo-man who does not sentimentalize, such Is the personal opinion of Madamo Carreno. Madamo Cnrreno's programme angu-mcntcd angu-mcntcd by tho A fiat Etude of Chopin and her own waltz was as follows: Sonata, Op. 57 (Appasslonata) , . .Boelovcn AJIegro. Andante con moto.
