HE appearance of Paul Ko- chanski with the National Symphony Orchestra was partly responsible for the Jarg> and distinguished au- dience that filled Constitution Hall vesterday afternoon. Mrs. Hoover Was present with a party of friends in her bex, as was aio> the Polish Ambas- sado-. Mr. Ty- tus Filivowicz Mr. Xochan- ski heas for many years been one of the most popular artists of Mrs. Townsend's Wednesday morning mu- sicales end dur- ing that time has won for himself a coteric of admirers who look forward each year to his reappearance. Yesterday was an- cther opportunity for them to enjoy his playing, and thet in the less in- timate atmosphere of a large hall and with the strong background of an_orchestra accompaniment This is th~ first time in some years that he has played the Tschaikow- ski “Concerto” and yesterday he used the original Tschalkowski ar- rangement without the embellish- ments that Auer lated added. It was a fitting choice for the display of his peculiarly sweet tone and this was shown to especially good advan- tage in the “Canzonett: In the first and thisl movements he was inclined to be somewhat erratic in his tempi, but his supple finger dex- terity swept through te a fine cli- max. He was recalled many times with enthusiactic applause. Hans Kindler guided the orchestra in a fine accompaniment that was well modulated and in sympathy with the artist’s interpretation. “The initial number of the or- chestra was the “No. 1 Symphony™ of Beethoven. Mr. Kindler's read- ing of the symphony was interest- ing and distinguished by the thoughtful understanding of phras- ing and the exactitude of execu- tion he is able to achieve from the orchestra, While the details held one’s attention for their outstanding beauty of interpretation, the general outline had a certain Mozartian ef- fect rather than the more serious lightness of Beethoven. The “An- dante Cantabile,” with its unusual opportunities for the drum to focus attention in a solo part and the equally unusual tempi of the “Menu- etto” were occasions for the audi- ence to interrupt the continuity with appreciative applause. in Debussy’s whimsieal “Afternoon of a Faun,” Dominico Iascone, the first flutist of the orchestra, did some very fine playing that stood out in relief against the interchange of wood-winds and horns that con- veyed the woodland atmosphere and the elusive character Debussy had in mind. It is in this contrasting variety, which took another form in Liszt’s tempestuous “Second Hun- garian Rhapsody,” that the orches- tra is becoming more and more proficient. In the rhapsody the gamut of or- chestral efiects was produced with delicate sensitiveness of value and the great chmax was played with fire and abandon. A.E. Young People’s Concert To Be Given Tomorrow. BECAUSE of the unusual interest in the children's and young peo- ple's concerts of the National Sym- phony Orchestra, Manager C. C. Cappel has arranged several fea- tyres to facilitate the handling of the crowd at Central High School. A new system of seating has been arranged, two doors instead of one used heretofore will be used to speed ticket taking. 2 wood wing set has been installed instead of the cur- tained back drop on the.auditorium stage in order to improve the acoustics of the hall, and Conductor Kindler will use a microphone and amplification device while discussing the music to be played. At tomorrow’s young people’s concert, the first of the season, the “mechanics” of two music forms, the overture and the suite, will be dis- cussed. The program follow #Oberon_Overture” ....... #Ballet Suite’” B “Suite from Camen”’ Everybody sing “Three Blind Mic: {in_canon form) *“Meistersinger Vorspiel” ...
