Alice Ehlers at a reception following her harpsi chord concert Wednesday night. She performed works by Bach, Handel, Rameau, Scarlatti, and Johann Pachelbel in the first of three concerts sponsored by the Chamber Concert Series of the School of Music. BEST MEDIUM Mme. Ehlers considers the harp sichord the best medium for play ing Eighteenth Century Baroque music, since it was originally writ ten for that instrument. Her concert was marked by the sincerity of her interpretations, subtleties of phrasing, and her command of the instrument, ac cording to several members of the music school faculty. “Her tremendous digital dexteri ty was displayed to especial ad vantage in such compositions as Bach’s Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, and the Scarlatti sonatas,” they added. MECHANICS TOLD Mme. Ehlers also explained the mechanics of the harpsichord to her audience. The Viennese harpsichordist is a member of the Artist Faculty at the University of Southern Cali fornia. She has contracted to play in Strasbourg for a Bach festival in 1950. She will receive an honorary Doctor of Arts degree at Lewis and Clark College on Nov. 22. That occasion made possible her ap pearance in Eugene. PE Instructor Plans Square Dance Club Plans for formation of a Univer sity square dance club were an nounced Thursday by Mrs. Mar garet M.
