THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, | mMusic ADOLF TOROVSKY'S SONGS. Two original and melodious _songs written by Adolf Torovsky, young Wash- ington pianist and organist, were pre- sented on the pr of the Friday Morning Music Club_ yesterday at Barker Hall in the Y. W. C. A. head- quarters. They were sung with sympa- thetic interpretation by Gurden Whit- aker, a musicianly singer who has a voice of particularly rich quality in the middle range. The songs were “Dawn,” Wwith the poem written by Mrs. Eugene Byrnes, president of the Friday Morning Music Club, and “Because You Are You.” The first is given musical setting with & minor keyed background of tone that turns into an excellent finale with colorful dramatic quality. The poem itself is lovely and the song is written a key and style that is decidedly {t'lnnble, The other Torovsky number, ‘Because You Are You,” is not so seri- ous or pretentious a song, but it should prove highly popular as an encore selec- tlon. 1It, foo, is particularly grateful with the tones on easy, rounded vowels and a pretty melody. Mr. Whitaker also sang a couple of Handel selections and another unusual song that was especially attractive and showed his lower tones to advantage— ‘Recompense,” by Hammond. The other singer of the morning was Margaret Randolph Muse, accompanied by John R. Monroe at the piano. Mrs. Muse is new to local programs. She has a light and very pretty voice. She does mot force tones and showed especially admirable command of diction in all her languages. She was at her best in her encore, Brahms' “Vergebliches Staendchen.” Mr. Torovsky appeared in two groups of piano solos, playing the Cesar Franck “Prelude, Choral et Fugue” first and later a group of Rachmaninoff’s lovely compositions. As usual, Mr, Torovsky showed not only fine musicianship but also thorough preparation and clean- cut technique, HP HANS KINDLER PLAYS.

Silk Blofises and piano was offered yesterday after- noon by the Dutch cellist, Hans Kindler, and Ralph Angell, pianist, at the chamber music auditorium in the Library of Congress. Judging from the enthusiasm of a capacity audience that took occuh;l-;‘:;:l applaud at every opportunity, the cholce of selections was a most happy one. is seldom that one hears a concert in which the artists devote themselves ex- clusively to the more modern cOmPoSers, and when the choice happens to fa on the three great forerunners of the melodic school, Brahms, Debussy an Franck, there is cause for added re- joicing. oM Exindler, although he may lack | the technical perfection of Felix Salmond, has that inspirational quality | of tone which characterizes his playing as exceptional. In_every respect Was his performance a finished one yester- day afternoon. The warm smoothness of his tone was perhaps most apparent in the allegro movement of the Francl sonata, in which he illustrated most effectively that this masterpiece is even more lovely as performed under the vibrant_touch of the cello than in its ‘more usual capacity as a popular vehicle for the violin. In the Brahms “Sonata in E Minor” Mr. Kindler seemed to strike perfection at the very start, if later, in the faster movement, he was somewhat submerged by the bombastic manner of his planoforte partner. Pebussy, on account of its technical idiosyncrasies, is most adaptable to the cello, and Mr. Kindler played the “Sonata in D Minor” not only with feeling, but with the impression that even the more difficult passages of the harmonics were the simplest things in the world. He played, in fact, every- thing that way. 'And so did Mr. Angell It was a genuinely soothing afternoon !of the best in chamber music—played as it should be played. E. M.
