TRCY GRAINGER yesterday enceared himself perma- nent'y to Washirg.cn. After his own works with the National Symphony Orchestra, and after win- ning a well decerved ovati~n, he tock the time and the trouble to eulcgize Mr. Kindler and the National Sym- phony and to say how much he had enjoyed playing with them. An un- usually effec- tive tribute, it brought forth further storms of applruse and caused veterrn musicgers to say thst never within their memory of mu- sical history had £o warm a word and so kirdy playing some of it nevertheless lacked that phony should not ba. ment musical authority said, never heard such a succession of broken oboss.” These crackling horns did not dispell, however, the sheer wizardry of this Tschalkowsky music which one should always be grateful for having heard.

Another change of costume and they were giving a group of Stephen Fos- ter songs, among which were “Gentle Annie,” “Beautiful Dreamer” and “Ne'lie Blye,” which left the au- dience clamoring for more.

He had given his audience the first Washing‘on hear- ing of his cheerful, melodious end curjously effective work, “Handel on the Strand"—ore of the most lilting of modern compesitio~s and extraordinarily effective with an orchestral background (pleved. inci- dentally. favltlessly by the orches- tra)—end had sat quietly and listened while Mr. Kindler plaved the Irish tune, so frequently ess~- ciated with Fritz Kreisler. and he had again struck a light and brignt note with his final “Spoon River.” A'l cf these were seized upon avidly b7 the audlence and rewarded with vigorols apoplause and with more than kindly comments upon Mr. Grainger’s later comments Yesterday's program was hand- scmely ba'anced on the murical scale. It included the first Wash- ington performance of Mary Howe: “Dirge,” in memory of Harold Ran- dolph of Baltimore. the Mozart overture to “The Magic Flute” and the Tschaikowskv Fifth Svmphony. Mrs. Howe's “Dirge.” which bein the work of one of the most a~t and progressive of Washington's composers, was an object of partic- ular interest, proved to be an im- pressive work handled with consid- erable skill and working up to a particularly effective climax (in which the muted violins shared most outstandingly). In the ven of a “classic” musical tribute, al- though perhaps confused in some of its details, it nevertheless stuck close to its intended pattern and seemed smoothly executed and pleas- antly doleful. The composer, who was present at its rendition, was given a splendid “hand” at the con- clusion of the work. Mr. Kindler, most happy when he plays Mozart (and Schubert, too), yesterday was most unhappy in the midst of the Tschalkowsky Sym- phony. An unfortunate disarray of horns heckled him throughout and when that first misplaced grace- note was played at the beginning of that gloriously lyric passage, the “andante cantabile.” there began a series of happenings which were mildly unfortunate. Although the symphony evoked some of the or- chestra's best climaxes of the sea- Monday eve- ning Themas gave a concert in Quincy, Mass, and another Wednesday morning in Boston, Following a recital in Fall River, Mass., last Thursday evening. he left immediately in order to be in Baltimore this Friday afternocn. where he gives a concert at the Peabody Conservatory, which he formerly attended as a scholarship student. Nor is this strenuous schedule limited to the present week. During the current concert season, between October and May, this American artist has 94 engagements. includ- ing concerts, radio programs and guest appearances with the Chi- cago Civic and Philadelphia Grand Opera companies.
