The choice of the Grieg Opus 36 was a hip- py one and characteristic in lyric short-range themes, falling melodic patterns and contrasting rhythms. Among outstanding numbers were Bloch’s profound and haunting| “Meditation Hebraique,” with more than a hint of “El Eli;” and the Schubert-Silva -waltzes. One of these largely on harmonics, was like the froth crowning a crystal stein; an-| other called up a picture of whirl- ing flounced-skirt dancers. | Popper's “Spinning Song” should | have been repeated, and doubtless | would have been demanded again had there not been such a full pro- | gram. This light kit was sheer en- chantment—surely the happy spin- ning of gossamer. The muted “Habanera” was followed by several contrast- ing Roumanian dances by Bela Bartok. One, entirely in overtones, was so high and thinly plaintive of line that the audience seemed to hold its breath for a message from another world. -The genius of three Italian mu-: sicians combined for the impressive | closing fantasy on a theme from “Moses"—Rossini, who composed the opera; Paganini and Silva, who arranged and played it. This| composition, entirely on the A-| string, was as though played by a choir of instruments, The only encore was the mystic “Music for a Dying Fountain,” by Lorenzo Rosellini, Bud Schultz, popular teen-age pi- anist, had the exacting but excit- ing chore of turning the pages for the pianist.
