Prof. Lockwood's Beethoven Recital

The second Beethoven historical recital was given by Prof. Albert Lockwood yesterday afternoon at 4:30 in Frieze Memorial hall. Mr. Lockwood gave a brief history of Beethoven's life. He said that Beethoven was an unreasonable, disagreeable old man, miserly in his habits, fond of no one except his nephew whom he adored. Had it not been for the kindly interest of several rich friends, he would have often been in absolute want. He was very deaf and this undoubtedly accounted for the ill-humor which was his chief characteristic. He wrote, in his lighter moods, music full of life and gayety. He could not bear his own melodies, but the harmony was in his soul.

Mr. Lockwood selected for the program numbers which were written in the composer's happiest vein.

In the last number, a concerto, Op. 73, in three movements, Miss Ruth Martín played the orchestral parts on the second piano.

The next recital will be given Nov. 17 and will be a Schubert program.
