Miss Teresa Carreno's second concert at Irving Hall, on Saturday evening, confirmed even more strongly than her first the purely artistic claims on the community which this marvelous young player possesses. There are many performers who can boast of strength, and a few who have her execution, but it would be difficult to mention another who has her exquisite perception of musical thought, her delicate sensibility to form. These things, which come to her by nature and not by application, give her a position which no other juvenile performer on the piano has ever commanded. Being also of a kind that insures instant recognition, they explain the furore which already exists concerning this singularly gifted child. The programmes, aside from Miss Carreño's performance, introduced some admirable pieces by Mme. D'Angri, Mr. Wm. Castle, Mr. Theodor [sic] Thomas and Mr. F. Eben--artists, of whom it is unnecessary to say more. Signore Abella assisted with his usual ability as a pianist and conductor. Miss Teresa Carreño's third concert will take place at the same establishment, on Tuesday next, the 2d inst.
