A noted addition to the musical circles of Chicago is Adolph Carpe, pianist. For twelve years Mr. Carpe has been one of the leading pianists of Cincinnati. He was teacher of piano at the Cincinnati College of Music when Theodore Thomas was director. When Thomas left he left also, and has since devoted all his attention to his own pupils.

Mr. Carpe was the private pupil of the famous teacher, Carl Reinecke of Leipsig, for five years. His repertoire is unusually extensive, including fully 150 compositions, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann and Liszt being his specialties.
