Kurt Hetzel, a musician who came to Washington several seasons ago from Munich, Germany. noted for its great Wagnerian_festivals, immediately be- | came popular here for his remarkable | transcriptions of the operatic music by the master of Bayreuth, for piano. F has appeared formally a few times the capacity of pianist in typical pian. istic programs. He appearcd with | marked success as conductor of the Washington Symphony Orchestra, gath- >red togcther for one performance, April 20, 1926, and recently he conducted a simfonietta of 18 leading Washington musf music for the Friends of Music in the Library of Congress. This was the sec- ond event given under the auspices of this new musical society. The first vias | a program by Harold Bauer and the ! Flonzaley String Quartet given during | icians in a program of rare ancient |- | Store Your what might be called a revised list of | plano transcriptions before an audience | at the Arts Club of Washington. It was explained preceding the program that Mr. Hetzel preferred to be known | in the capacity of a conductor rather | than as a pianist. Later Mr. Hetzel | spoke briefly on the problems confront- | ing many gifted musicians in Washing- ton. Even the motion picture house | orchestras are being disbanded due to the new “talkies,” with their synchron- ized scores, which make local orchestral background unnecessary. It is a_very real problem that Washington musi- | cians are facing at this time. | Mr. Hetzel's playing of the Wagner transeriptions, in which he shows a re- markable and decidedly individual skill combined with excellent judgment in the accenting or subduing of the vari- ous motives in the music, is so well known and so generally enjoyed that it is needless to go into detail regarding them. Suffice to say, that his audience still_clamored for more after he had given them the procession music from “Lohengrin.” several themes of ‘“Der Flicgende Hollaender.” the famotis water music of the first and final acts of “Rheingold” and the * air from “Tannhauser, cially requested encore, gaene’s Warning” and “The Liebes from “Tristan und Isolde.” Penn.
