THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO D. €, FEBRUARY 26, 1928—PART 4. The Imperial Male Quartet Gives Concert Tomorrow: 'I'HE Imperial Male Quartet, W. Arthur McCoy, first tenor; Edward G.

This week there is only one outstanding professional musi event. It is the annual piano re- cital to be given Friday afternooa by Sergei Rachmaninoff. Al- though Russian in birth and hav ing spent his early home life en- tirely in his own country, Mr Rachmaninoff has, within the past 10 years, established his resi dence in this country. The story of how this came about is rather interesting: “It was altogether rather unex- * pectedly that Sergei Rachmanin o, composer, conductor anda pianist, returned to the United States in 1918. Early in Novem- ber of that year he disembarked in New York. even while current report ran that he was still a ¥ refugee in Scandinavia. soon to © undertake a serics of concerts in England. The progress and th» precesses of the Russian revolu- tion compelled Mr. Rachmaninof to flee from Moscow. The new regime had stripped him of his property and dcprived him ot other sources of income. Accora- ingly. Mr. Rachmaninoff made his way to the Russian frontier. crossed into Sweden and through the Spring dwelt there, occasion- ally appearing in concert as pian- . ist. now and then busving himsel! with composition. At length he halted at Copenhagen, in Den- mark, whence favorable opoortu- nitv to visit A ca brought him to New York. “Since his arrival in America Mr. Rachmaninoff’s tall figure, grave face and quiet bearing have left distinct impression upon the memories of concertgocrs in the larger cities of this country. “As a composer Mr. Rachmanin- off holds an eminent place amony the middle generation of Rus-! sians.

S. Marine Band Orchestra ONE of the early symphonies of Franz Schubert will be included in the regular monthly symphonic program to be presented in the auditorium at the Marine Barracks Wednesday night at 8:15. As this year marks the observance of Schubert’s death one hundred years ago, Capt. Branson has selected one of the least known symphonies of this great figure of the romantic period of music for this concert. The “Second Symphony” was written in 1814, and while it does not compare in design, lacking the subtle devices of develop- ment of his C major and unfinished Symphonies, it breathes the spirit of Schubert. It is in four movements, the first largo-allegro vivace, the second movement a series of variations on an andante theme, followed by an allegro vivace % time and closing with a very lively presto movement. ‘The overture, “Polyeucte,” by Paul Dukas, the eminent modern French composer, known by his amusing scherzo “L'Apprenti Sorcier,” will open the pro- gram. This work was composed as a prelude to the tragedy, “Polyeucte,” written in 1640 by Corneille, the greatest tragic dramatist of France. Another Frenchman of the modern school of French music is represented on the pro- gram with a decided novelty number. Musician Lugaresi Terzo of the Marine Band will play the “Premiere Rhapsody for B-flat clarinet with orchestra ac- companiment,” by Claude Debussy. The program will close with “Ma Vlasi,"” by Smetana.
