Duets Featured At Piano Recital By NORRIS YATES Performances by four hands in stead of two provided a small but select audience with musical enter tainment last night when students of the music school presented a two-piano recital at the music au ditorium. Especially noteworthy was the rendition of Frankie Werst, fresh man, of the “Allegro” from Mo zart's Piano Concerto in D-minor, with George Hopkins, Eugene, at the second piano. Miss Werst showed considerable power and rhythmic balance, besides a marked flexibility and soundness of tech nique. Also drawing comment were the performances of the combination of Miss Phyllis Taylor, senior, and Edna Fisher, sophomore, Salem. They played Ravel's “Bolero” and “Scaramouche” by Millhaud. In the Milhaud number they displayed consistent coordination and fair harmony of style, and in the “Bo lero” a faithful exploitation of the rhythmic possibilities and shrewd judgment in building up to the final climax. Miss Maxine Cady, sophomore, played the "Andante” and "Alleg ro” from Gershwin’s “Concerto in F,” with Mr. Hopkins again pro viding the accompaniment. Miss Cady handled the solo part with en ergy, cool competence, and marked resonance. Miss Janice Hough, sophomore, joined Miss Cady in the performing of Elmerco’s “Incidente Tropicale.” The two achieved smooth Coordina tion and notably satisfactory blend ing of style in the presentation of this short but colorful work. Miss Alice Buckingham, fresh man, and Johnette King, freshman, were to have played Gershwin’s “Variations on ‘I Got Rhythm’ ”, but owing to Miss Buckingham's being taken ill, the number was cancelled. On Thursday evening Ruth Bak er, graduate student in music, will present a recital featuring the mu sic of Bach, Brahms, Chopin, Men delssohn, and three modern com posers. Her program will begin at 8 p.m. at the music auditorium.
