Music and Mousicians Reviews and News of Capital's Programs. Six-Year Old Pianist. Stars With National Symphony. HERE was a breathless stillness vesterday morning at the Chil- dren’s Concert at Central High School, when Hans Kindler intro- duced ‘the piano soloist whom he hoped was not “too old.” Charleton Meyer, aged 6, seemed a trifie dazed when he found himself on the plat- form, but on the piano bench he went' straight ahcad with Bach's “Minuet in G Major” in remarkably gifted style. He had natural rhythm, decistveness, clear tone and louds and softs that were not forced. Despite having practically to stand up to reach the pedal Master Mever played MacDowells “To a Wild Rose” with a lyricism and fee.ng that did away with any of its pos sibly hackneyed quality. Mr. Kind- ler, after carrying the maestro off the stage amid shouts ef applause, said that “though he is very tal- ented he fs not overworked like many budding prodigies.” Most of the younger members of the audi- ence had their mouths wide open with_excitement during this- whole number. The “plucking” type of instrument before this had been tllustrated by Alfred Manning's fine performance of Hasselman's “Ballade” on the harp. The applause was so large that Mr. Manning added the Scotch . “Believe Me if All Those En- ng Young Charms.” The pleas- emble of harp and strings was shown when Barnard Parronchi, Arst cellist, and Mr. Manning played The Swan.” This was 50 beautifully done that an encore | ded, but was refused by ictor_on the strength that g clse has been prepared.” orchestra gave an excellent repetition Ippolitov-Ivanofl's “Dans 1'Aoul” from the “Caucasian Sketches” to illustrate the combina- tion of English horn and viola as solos. Emil Spitzer played the horn and George Wargo the viola. To celebrate the prevailing Christ- mas spirit Gruber's transcription of “Silent Night” was first played by the orchestra, then sung by the audience, then both togethel The program began and ded with two orchestral works which, as Mr. Kindler explained, for different countries and therefore in different musical idioms express the unhappi- ness, revolt and final joyous free- dom of a suppressed and liberated nation. Beethoven's “Overture to ‘Egmont’ ” based on Holland's emancipation from Spain, and Si- belius’ “Finlandia,” based on that Finland from Russia. The orchestra played these with even more style ?\d precision than on Thursday fternoon Before the Sibelius tone-poem Mr. Kindler wished all the children a “happy Christmas and I hope you get all the electric trains and roll skates that you want and that have my orchestra after Christmas D.
