“A remarkable manifestation of ability was Mr. Jerome Hopkins’ ‘Piano Lecture Concert,’ given last Tuesday afternoon for the Orpheon Free Choral Schools. He kept his audience for an hour and a half deeply interested by an amusing and highly instructive series of short musical ‘talks’ of about ten minutes each, between which the audience were invited to select pieces to be played from a programme of 100 pieces from nearly all the greatest masters. Mr. Hopkins rendered thirteen compositions entirely from memory, among which were works by Handel, Beethoven, Bach, De Meyer, Gottschalk, Stephen Heller and others. The performance was certainly a novel and curious success.”
