A" rare tribute was paid by a highly audience to Ossip Gabrilo- noted pianist, at Central hool last night, at the co of one of the finest perform- ances of the season. »| After the last selection programmed, the audlence remained seated and called again and again for the performer until be returned for an encore. Still un- satisfied, the audience demanded more, and, finally, Gabrilowitsch responded again. It i seldom that Washington audiences are so insistent after two hours of a regular program. It was a great and truly earned tribute. Gabrilowitsch bhas that highest at- tainment of the musician’s art, the ability to play the most difficult pas- sages with an ease that makes them seem simple. One rarely hears a more even flow of tone than he produced last night. His planissimo work was per- fectio Passages so soft as to be hardly audible were carried along at a volume so evenly sustained that no unduly stressed note broke the spell. Runs, arpeggios and . chromatic jphrases at lively tempos flowed along with all the smoothness of a well oil- ed machine. The program opened h “Chro- matic Fantasie and Fugue” of Bach. It was a typlcal Bach composition, rambling all over the keyboard and finally winding up with a chord or two that seemed comparitively thin after the great volume of tone timt had gone before. Beethoven's “Sonata, F Minor, Opus 2, No. 1" was played with the highly cultured interpreta- tion for which Gabrilowitsch is fa- mous. The forte passages were given with sufficlent emphasis, yet they were carefully suppressed short of the bombastic. ~ A Chopin group, “Polonaise, C Sharp Minor’; “Noc- turne, E Major’: “Mazurka, C Sharp Minor,” and “Ballade, G Minor,” fol- lowed the sonata and won generous applause. Two of Gabrilowitsch’s own works, “Melody in E Minor” and “Caprice- Burlesque, Opus 3,” the latter almost a tocatta in the Intricacy of its tech- nique;. “‘Gavotte”. of ‘Glazourow, and Graniger's “Shepherd’s Hey” complet- ed the program. 1i ! eim | att lin jail without bond.
