THE MILANOLLOS.
We perceive that the two sisters Milanollo, who lately gave an experi- mental concert, are about to perform again in public. These youthful violinists should be heard, for they have great Merit; reaching between them, at a tender age, nearly to the extent of the executive merits of Sivori and Ernst, and consequently mastering many of Paganini's difficulties in his own way. They play on thin strings, and frequently use the tuning of Paganini ; the fourth string being B flat, and the others each a semitone higher. Teresa, the elder, has a fine serious style, which combines the sen- timent and expression of a refined musician. The younger is humorous and coquettish in her play, and possesses a most admirable staccato. They must take care to be more economical as to the number of their exhibitions than on the first occasion; when surprise at their excessive brilliancy et length gave way to weariness.
