Szigeti Recital Sunday
At 3 in McArthur Court
By Bob Funk •
The Eugene and University Civic
Music Association’s winter concert
series opens at 3 p.m. Sunday in
McArthur Court with Joseph Szi
geti, violinist, accompanied by
Joseph Levine at the piano.
Szigeti, who in addition to his
musical career has written an
autobiography—“With Strings At
tached”—and done some explora
tion in the field of fancy cooking,
will include in his program works
* by Bach and Beethoven.
The violinist, born in Hungary,
made his debut on this continent in
1925, when he played the Beetho
ven violin concerto before a Carne
gie Hall audience. Since then he
has toured throughout America
and Europe, varying his career
with appearances on radio, tele
vision, and the screen.
‘SKULL PRACTICE’
Contrary to popular beliefs con
cerning musicians and long prac
tice hours, Szigeti thinks that two
hours of practice per day are suf
ficient. However, he precedes his
two hours with some “skull prac
tice”—memorization of musical
compositions.
“I never begin my real study of
a composition,” he explains, “until
I have memorized it—not con
sciously, but through commerce
with it; permitting it, so to say,
to take hold of me rather than
the other way around.”
Szigeti first gained his reputa
tion as a concert artist in England,
following some years spent in the
rather strenuous role of a, child
prodigy. He had become noted all
over Europe by 1925, when Leo
pold Stokowski invited him to
come to the United States.
ON TELEVISION
Not long ago, Joseph Szigeti
made an appearance on BBC tele
vision. He was required to wear a
shirt, tie, and make-up all of a
brilliant yellow color, which “some
what depressed me . . . however,
when I saw the dignified and
forceful figure of the Astronomer
Royal, Sir Harold Spencer Jones,
whose lecture preceded my group
of solos, made up in exactly the
same way as I, I made a turn
about, forgot all about yellow
shirts with BBC laundry marks
on them and decided to enter into
the spirit of the thing with good
humor.”
The program for the Szigeti con
cert appears on page 3.

Class Officers
Choose Theme
For Senior Ball
“Golden Anniversary Ball,” sub
mitted by Marion Galla, was sel
ected by Senior Class Officers Bob
Weber, Ron Phillips, Margaret
Johns, and Jeanninc Macaulay as
the theme of the Senior Ball of
1950, slated Jan. 21 in McArthur
Court.
Skitch Henderson, popular piano
playing bandleader, and his orch
estra will provide the musical set
ting for the anniversary theme.
Henderson was selected for his
musical stylings, offering music
which may be enjoyed with a min
imum amount of effort.
Decorations chairman Mac Epley
believes the theme will lend itself
to clastic and striking interpreta
tions of events and customs of this
I country for the past half-century.
Dress for the dance will be form
al. Weber explained that suits will
definitely be in order and tuxedo3
are not a “must.”
He emphasized that although
women will be formally attired,
corsages are optional, not essen
tial. This policy was adopted by
[ the senior class to give more stu
dents an incentive and opportunity
to attend.
Attendance is not limited to the
senior class. Residents of Eugene
as well as all students are welcome
to attend.
Tickets for the Senior Ball may
be purchased at the co-op begining
Monday Jan. 16. The admission
price oi $2.40 per couple includes
forty cents in federal tax. Hender
son's recordings will be played
continuously inside the co-op
Thursday and Friday, Jan. 19 and
20.
