Lecture on the Precursors of the Pianoforte.

An unusually attractive lecture will be given tonight in Sanders Theatre, under the auspices of the Glee Club and Pierian Sodality. The lecture is entitled "The Precursors of the Pianaforte," and is given by Mr. Krehbiel, Musical Editor of the New York Tribune, and illustrated by instruments owned by Mr. Steinert. The development of which the pianoforte is the result, will be followed through from its beginning. A program of classical music will be rendered on the clavichord, harpichord, and other old instruments, which will be played by Mr. Arthur Friedheim. The lecture has been given at Yale, and is given here largely through the influence of Prof. J. K. Paine. Mr. Steinert's instruments, among which are some very rare and valuable ones, are to be taken to Vienna soon, and this will be the best opportunity for the students to see them. No tickets are necessary for admission to the lecture, and every student should make it a point to go.
