MISS ARABELLA GODDARD. (Translated from a Prague Paper.) MISS GODDARD has given her second concert. The impression produced by this young lady's performances upon her hearers is of such an artistically harmonic and agreeable descciption, that it is a very difficult task for us to tear ourselves from the agreeable labour of sweet enjoyment. Her elastic, resonant touch, the technical perfection of her performance of melodic passages, the beauty of her song, and the finished purity and elegance of her style, even in its minutest details, hardly allow us to remark the Hellenic repose with which the greatest difficulties are overcome, and the profoundest mysteries of musical mysticism unriddled. The happy, joyous disposition of this graceful daughter of Albion is reflected in her style, obscured by no confused hurry-scurry, and causes us to sympathise with all the beauties of the amiable artist-beauties which she has gained ex professo, beyond the limits of well-schooled virtuosity. The executants were Herr Ernst (first violin), Mr. Cooper (second violin), Mr. Hill (first viola), Herr Goffrie (second viola), Signor Piatti (violoncello) and Herr Pauer (pianoforte). On the whole, we think Herr Ernst has not played so finely all the season as on this occasion. The very opposite characters of Haydn's quartett and Mozart's incomparable quintett-the almost primitive character of the one and the eternal youth and passion of the other (composed so nearly at the same period of time)gave the poet of the violin an opportunity to show the thoroughly ecclectic nature of his talent. We can hardly say which was best played; but the quintet of Mozart impressed us infinitely more than the other. Beethoven's very grand pianoforte trio was admirably performed. We have rarely heard Herr Pauer to more advantage. The two solos were from Mendelssohn and Taubert; the first was the better, and the better played. The Messrs. Cooper, Hill, and Piatti, were just the sort of men to make a quartet, led by Herr Ernst, irreproachable; and Mr. Goffrie was of great service as second viola in the quintet. Mr. Ella has begun well; and Mr. Hallé's finger being convalescent will make him strong again in pianists, of the dearth of whom he complains in an essay. We could furnish him with some score at a moment's notice, without applying to Herr Lubeck, M. Alexandre Billet, or Miss A. Goddard, who (as he does not mention their names) are, we presume, not regarded as pianists by the Director of the Musical Union. HARMONIC UNION.-The last concert of the Society was a very fine one. Mendelssohn's Walpurgisnacht, and the greater part of his Midsummer Night's Dream, were admirably performed under the able direction of M. Molique. Among the solo singers was Herr Reichardt, who made his first appearance this season, and sang, not only with his accustomed intelligence, but with a power and freshness of voice that we hardly recognised in him previously. The other soloists, in the two great works above mentioned, were Miss Heywood, Mr. Wallworth, and the improving Miss Stabbach who is making great progress in public favour. Herr Molique's splendid violoncello concerto was played to perfection by Signor Piatti, for whom, as every one knows, it was expressly composed. The music and the performance created the utmost enthusiasm. Why does not Herr Molique, in the present dearth of good pianoforte music, turn his attention to a pianoforte concerto? HERR WAGNER-ANOTHER OPINION. (From the Morning Post.) nation and eloquence, Herr Richard Wagner explains his ideas of art In a book entitled Kunst-werk der Zukunft, replete with imagigenerally. He says here so many things "novel or strange," that his work might furnish numerous columns to a weekly contemporary, in whose broad sheet a quantity of information regularly appears under the above heading. He thinks the sister arts of dancing (not mere capering, but the art of gesture in its highest sense), music, and poetry, originally combined by the ancient Greeks, should never have been separated; for this unnatural proceeding rendered impossible that greatest of works, the drama, which united all the modes of expression in one living picture of human life, where each illustrating the other, all could be easily understood by the people (taking this word in its most comprehensive significance), whose senses and sympathies were thus acted upon simultaneously. That to revive true art, which is to be the mission of the future artist, the cold monumental beauties of sculpture, the special forms and science of music, together with that style of so-called dramatic poetry which, merely displaying acquired learning, dealing with metaphysical subtleties or abstract reasonings, admits not of combination with the sister-arts, must give place to such vital realities as can only be produced by the combination of demonand literature whose words are called forth by the requirements of strative gesture-music based upon the exigencies of tonal expression, dramatic action, or well-up from the heart as the necessary and immediate manifestation of thought, sentiment, or emotion, and coloured by all the graces of intonation and vocal inflexion. Separated, says Herr Wagner, these arts are egotistical and incomprehensible to the many; united, they are universal and easily understood. In the former of these states they are the property of a selfish few, in the latter, that of human nature generally. Thus, celebrated modern dancers, like Carlotta Grisi, Ellsler, Rosati, etc., are mere deformed please a depraved multitude by vulgar displays of agility and fasciposture-mistresses-wretched figurantes, whose only object is to nations of doubtful decency-creatures of heartless luxury, whose performances have no intellectual purpose, no psychological expression, and are, therefore, unnatural, unnecessary, and unartistic. The art of double counterpoint, fugue, and canon is a mere mathematical sport of the understanding-music playing egotistically with itself-and those who excelled in it (nearly all the greatest masters), were, in this respect at least, mere selfish cunning tricksters, whose proceedings bore a strong affinity to the shrewd reckonings of Hebrew speculators in the money market. Dramatic poets are supremely ridiculous when they write unactable plays, only fit to be read; and Göthe's Faust, driven from the stage by metaphysics, prolixity, and a poodle, affords a striking illustration of this. Art, says Herr Wagner, is not a product of artit cannot be taught ex cathedra-it grows out of the requirements of and stands in the same relation to him that he does to general nature. civilisation, as civilisation emanates from the exigencies of social man, man's mind is but the conscious reflection of general nature, and all his true ideas can only be impressions derived from her, so should the true, universal work reproduce these reflected impressions, and be a complete picture of the man himself. Seeking and comparing, imply error; and it is only when the man no longer chooses, but impelled by internal necessity abandons himself to the immediate and natural expression of his ideas, that he is a real artist. If he feel this necessity, he will have something new to tell us-if not, he had best be silent, for arbitrary custom or unnatural abstraction will rule his thoughts, and his work, however skilful, will be egotistical, unnecessary, and meet with no genuine sympathy from the many. The great masters of past times were all necessary (though erroneous in their principles) for they were so many links in the great chain of events; and the gradual progress expressed in their works has led up to the brilliant present, begun by Beethoven and to be continued by Herr Wagner, who proposes to re-unite the three art-sisters. Although we dissent altogether from many of the doctrines here set forth, it were most unjust not to recognise, in the author of the Kunst-werk der Zukunft, an original thinker, full of conscientious earnestness and which intellect and honesty of purpose should always command. To poetical fancy; and we, therefore, give him that respectful attention judge a composer like Herr Wagner in ex pede Herculum fashion, would indeed be unfair; and we can only wonder that a gentleman, who sets out with the principle that the only perfect rule is that which embraces the mimetic, musical, and dramatic elements, should expose himself to such misconception as must infallibly arise from a performance of his operatic productions in the concert-room, where they must necessarily be deprived of two of their essential properties, and depend only upon one which, according to his own theory, should never stand alone. We must, however, speak of things as we find them, and shall, therefore, endeavour to do as much justice as possible to the works given on this occasion, under what must be considered disadvantageous circumstances. The selection made from our author's compositions was a scene belonging to the opera of Lohengrin, the Knight of the Graal, the words of which, no less than the music, are from the pen of Herr Wagner. In one respect the music disappointed us. We expected to find it highly, if not extravagantly original, but failed to remark this quality which, in the latter, even more than the former degree, has been given to it by rumour. We observed no marked individuality of style in the score, no epoch-making innovations, such as the very original literary works of the composer had taught us to look for, but, instead, a succession of very brilliantly instrumented pieces, which contained nothing strikingly new either in rhythm, harmony, or orchestral arrangement. It has been said elsewhere that Herr Wagner's theories have merely been framed to suit his creative abilities; if so, the latter were certainly not by when they were measured, for a worse fit do we not remember to have seen. A great deal of this music is is excessive and needlessly luxurious in mere loudness and meretriciousness of sound, as the unhappy dancers whom he castigates so unmercifully are in show; and it assuredly contains as much that is “unnecessary" and "customary," as any modern production with which we are acquainted. Herr Wagner, however, condemns his own music more than we are disposed to do; for, as we have said, it has very great merit in respect of instrumentation, and is also highly dramatic in character, and expressive of the words and action it is meant to illustrate. Strikingly original, however-like, for instance, that of Berlioz-it most certainly is not. "The best part of this selection was the introduction, the clear and beautiful scoring of which betokens an amount of strictly musical "knowledge," and mere "science," which we cannot but wonder the author of the Kunst-werk der Zukunft, ever condescended to acquire. But Herr Wagner has deigned to learn even more than this, for we understand that he knows the scores of the great though erroneous masters by heart, and can direct a rehearsal of their "progressive" works perfectly well without referring to them. The selection from Lohengria, very favourably received by a highly critical and, we may add, somewhat prejudiced audience, left the impression, at least upon us, that Herr Wagner is a very clever though not a great composer. ST. MARTIN'S HALL.-The concerts under Mr. Hullah's direction, owing to the reasonable price of admission, and the highly efficient manner in which the oratorios are performed by the members of his Upper Singing Class, attract crowds to the Hall on every occasion. The last oratorio, Elijah-in which the solo singers were Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves, Madame Weiss, Misses Palmer and Freeman, Messrs. Montem Smith, H. Buckland, and Weiss, was quite as well performed, and quite as well received, as St. Paul, which conferred such great credit on Mr. Hullah and his vocal and instrumental forces. CHORAL AND PART-SINGING.-New associations for the practice of choral and part-singing among amateurs are springing up in all directions. Besides "meetings for an amateur choral practice," conducted by Miss Dolby and Lindsay Sloper, for the practice of vocal concerted music of the great masters, and Mr. Salaman's choral re-unions at his own residence, Mr. Kingsbury has founded a choral practice society with the same object, and a new vocal association on the plan of the Berlin Singacademie has been instituted by Messrs. Benedict and Henry Smart, from which, if the intentions explained in the prospectus are carried out, great results may be anticipated. LOOK AT HOME.-The Examiner, differing from a contemporary, says: "It would be well if a slight acquaintance with the history of the country to which he is sent were considered a qualification for the correspondent of a newspaper." Differing from The Examiner in its musical opinions, we are compelled to suggest that "It would be well if a slight acquaintance with the subject on which he undertakes to write were considered a qualification for the reporter of a newspaper." The musical critic of the Examiner proclaims the magnificent song of Mephistopheles in Spohr's Faust, which Mr. Weiss sang at the last Philharmonic Concert a "scant air." (This is something like the "flexible" music of the Conte Ory). Of Bethoven's easy concerto in B flat (played by Mr. Lindsay Sloper) he says "The concerto of Beethoven, though neither the most popular nor the best of his three," etc. Now every one knows, or, writing about music, ought to know, that there are five pianoforte concertos of Beethoven published; that the three most known are those in C minor, G major, and E flat major; and that the other early one is in C major. Mozart's air from Zauberflöte (sung by Mad. Rudersdorff) is "a senseless bravura !" The splendid coda to Spohr's scena (in Italian "Si lo vento") is a ranting conclusion." To wind up-the same critic is very angry because the third vocal piece, "as well as the other two," were sung in German-though they were written all three to German words, and the first was sung in Italian. "It would be well if a slight acquaintance,” etc. แ PROVINCIAL. WORCESTER.-Mr. Friend has opened the new hall with a concert, and the result was satisfactory. The vocalists were Miss Birch, Miss Lascelles, Mr. Land, and Mr. F. Bodda, aided by our Choral Society. There were nearly 1000 present.-At the first of the Monday evening concerts there were nearly 400 present. Mr. Haynes opened proceedings with a pedal fugue of Bach on the organ. Mr. Thomas was encored in Schubert's "Wanderer," accompanied on the organ by Mr. Jones. Mrs. Bull, who is engaged for the series, was encored in Stephenson's "Vesper Hymn;" Misses Cooper and Thomas were applauded in a duet by Rossini.-The Reverend Mr. Waite has given a Lecture on Psalmody in the Guildhall, which was listened to with pleasure by an attentive audience. The Philharmonic Society gave their first concert in the Music Hall, on Friday evening, which was well attended. Miss Clara Henderson and Signor Giulio Regondi were engaged, and the orchestra was under the leadership of M. J. H. D'Egville. The band, among other things, played a new overture, by M. D'Egville, entitled Sebastopol, which was well played, and received with much favour. Mr. Jabez Jones was the conductor. LIVERPOOL.-Mr. Charles Mathews has drawn brilliant au diences to the Theatre Royal every evening, and has produced several very amusing pieces for the first time. His engagement terminates to-night, when he plays in three pieces. Next week, Mr. George Vandenhoff and Miss Featherstone commence an engagement.-At the Amphitheatre, Rob Roy, and an equestrian spectacle, the Siege of Mongatz, have been played. Next week, Mr. Charles Rouselle, who captured the keys of the fortress of Balaklava last autumn, while serving under Marshal St. Arnaud, will perform a variety of feats of strength, which have been witnessed at the Cirque Napoléon in Paris, by the Emperor and Empress of the French. HARROW-ON-THE-HILL.-Mr. Staton gave a concert here for the purpose of assisting to defray the expense of a new organ for the parish church. The programme was well selected, and consisted of morceaux by English, German, Italian, and French composers. Mr. Atkinson, who has a good bass voice, sang, among other things, a Lied of Schubert's, in which he was much applauded. Miss M. Wells pleased in Donizetti's "Brindisi,' while Miss Ransford and Mrs. Mann came in for their share of applause during the evening. Master Greenhill, one of Mr. Staton's choristers, was encored in "By the sad sea waves; and Mr. Staton executed a piece called La Chasse, with great facility; and, with Mr. Blagrove, Beethoven's sonata in F, for piano and violin. Mr. Hayden accompanied the vocal music. BREDON.-A vocal and instrumental concert took place in the large school-room, on Tuesday, April 10, under the superintendence of Mr. Lloyd, which was attended by most of the influential families of the neighbourhood. The principal performers were Mrs. Evans and Mr. J. W. Cooper, of Worcester, Miss M. A. Brydges, Mr. J. T. Horniblow, and Mr. W. T. Matty, of Tewkesbury, Mr. Lloyd, and the Misses Lloyd, of Bredon. The programme consisted of overtures, glees, &c., the whole of which gave satisfaction. MANCHESTER. (From our own Correspondent.)—A very agreeable entertainment was given at the Town-Hall, on Tuesday evening, by a few friends of Mr. Harris, who got up a concert for the purpose of affording the public an opportunity of hearing MR. W .E. EVANS'S CONCERT took place on Thursday evening. Signor Regondi played a solo on the guitar, and another on the concertina. Mrs. Bull and Mr. Paget sang several popular songs, Master Mills exhibited much promise, and the concert afforded gratification to a very thin audience. It is the intention of Mr. Evans to pay us another visit, when we trust these talented artists will be greeted by a more numerous auditory.—Birmingham Journal. ADVERTISEMENTS. MR. LAND begs to announce his Removal to 12, Hinde MR. street, Manchester-square. Wh? R. AND MADAME R. SIDNEY PRATTEN, Pr fessors of the Flute, Guitar, and Concertina, 131B, Oxford-street. their Concertina Classes are held, and where all their compositions may be had the above instruments. some of his compositions. The room was well filled, at the LEEDS.Masters Appleyard and Giles' Benefit Concert attracted a numerous auditory. They are choristers of our parish church. The other vocalists were Miss Messent, Mdile. Julie Mouat, Mr. Herberte, and Sig. F. Lablache; and the instrumentalists-Mr. Wells (flute), and Master Naylor, a pupil of Mr. Burton (pianoforte). The last-named played Mendelssohn's Andante and Rondo Capricioso in E minor, and obtained great applause. Mr. Wesley conducted. Masters Giles and Appleyard were encored in several pieces. DEWSBURY.-Mr. Burton's Annual Concert produced nearly £60, which, after paying the necessary expenses, will be handed over to the Patriotic Fund. Mendelssohn's St. Paul was the attraction. The band consisted of the West Riding Society of Musicians and Orchestral Union, and the chorus of the Leeds Choral Society, etc. Mrs. Sunderland, Miss Crosland (of Hud dersfield), Mr. Perring, and Mr. Ellis, were the vocalists; and Mr. R. Burton was the conductor. REIGATE. (From a Correspondent).-So much has been said on the advantage of the cultivation of music, that a little positively done is worth more than pages of talk or theoretic speculation! Thus when our excellent Choral Society gave us last Thursday a concert of good music-well sung, it afforded not only real enjoyment, but proved what may be done by steady perseverance and united action. The concert was the best the Society has given and the performance altogether praiseworthy. The number of performers (about forty) seems hardly large enough to give effect to Händel's choruses, but this is a matter of opinion, and fault-finding would be out of place where there was so much to praise. Every town should attempt to form a Choral Society. It may take long to be able to perform such music as that of Thursday; but it can be done with time and practice. The Society had no other assistance professionally than that of Miss Henderson, who sang the pieces assigned her with taste and judgment, and gave the utmost pleasure. Too much cannot be said for the manner in which the leader and conductor Mr. E. Thurnam has managed his society. The members are diligent, sing with precision and go well together.

THE agreeable recreation which is derived from the performance of OPERATIC MUSIC as PIANOFORTE DUETS, and the belief that a collection of Operas arranged for Two Performers would be very acceptable to Families and Amateurs, have induced the Publishers to issue the following series of favourite Operas at a moderate price, and in a convenient and durable form. Several Operas are included which, although not so well known on the stage as others, contain much delightful music, and will be found to be not less attractive on the Pianoforte. The arrangements of all are treated in a brilliant and popular style, and every one is published in as complete a shape as a judicious Pianoforte adaptation will admit of. BOOSEY'S STANDARD PIANOFORTE OPERAS. A new and perfect Edition of the best Operas for PIANOFORTE SOLO, complete, correct, and cheap. Very superior engraving, printing, and paper, are employed in the production of these Operas, which, it must be observed, are now for the first time published in a complete form.
