...will be given on April 14 in Sanders Theatre. It will consist of a program of antique music, of which one number is to receive its first pubic performance anywhere. It was only recently discovered and is thought to be the work of Johann Christian Bach, one of the lesser-known sons of Johann Sebastian Bach. The rest of the program will include Mozart's "Symphony in G minor," Handel's "Ninth Concerto" for strings, and other numbers to be announced later...

He analyzes with equal patience and skill the works of scores of lesser men. He seems to have overlooked nothing. And he brings all, down to the most modest specimen, into his system. Of chief interest to the American reader, who has not the pictures before him to refer to, are Mr. Berenson's generalizations--the pages in which he sets forth his main ideas, or sums up some really important master, like Montegna or Corrreggio.
