PAGE THREE SIRING QUARTET Society and Clubs Edited by Eoa Nealon By Jeunesse Butler. After the conflict of economic and social disturbances, war debts, mld-dle-of-the-stream crossings, defeats and deflations, the opening strains from string bowed by Jacques Gor don and bis tbree conferees, fell "upon the fevered spirit" like the lost chord, "with a touch of infinite calm." The occasion was the con cert given last night at the high .nHltsirhim hv the Gordon String Quartet, as the first in the series of the Civic Music association. Concordant, delicately aweet, the melodious measures so superbly in terpreted, reassuringly reminded that within the mental realm may be found an unassailable retreat, some thing sure and substantial, which can neither be disturbed nor destroyed. Who dwelt, more conspicuously with in the realm of the spirit,, than the deaf Beethoven, and who was Increas ingly, as the years rolled on, in the world, but not of it. To the students of piano literature, ss the majority of amateur musicians are. the Quartet in A Major. Opus 18. No. 5, must have been something! a revelation. Beethoven, to the pianist, Is a heroic but tragic figure. A classicist whose pure austerity i beautiful, but aloof. The A major, written during the aecond period ox master's experience, reveals the younB Beethoven of Vlnna, the -intimate of loyalty, welcomed in the hnmes of the socially affluent, court ed, but never captured, by countesses, including the engaging Therese. The number la charming, in the best meaning of that term. After Beethoven, the Quartet was heard in Opus 15. D Plat Major, by the Hungarian, Dohnanyi. Richness appeared as this composer's outstand ing quality. Frankly of the romantic school, his technical dominion is re flected in the utmost freedom and effortless expression. Dohanyl is said to be "borrow." but If so. individ uality seemed unhampered in the composition given last .evening. What aurprlslng people are the Brtt alns. Not lacking in courage, surely, was Professor Joseph Speatght of j-i..niku Tjwrinn. who dared to con sider, as a composer, the Shakespeare fairy characters, after me iwiasumi.. Night's Dream of Felix Mendelssohn. Spealght's fantasies, "Some Shakes peare Fairy Characters." concluded the program. ...v.n. v MMiHariv ethereal Qual ity of Mendelssohn may never be found elsewhere (ana wny It?), the English composer succeeded In creating some lovely impressions. Descriptive music in its highest and least ordinary sense, the fantasies, from "Puck" to Tttania." were not unworthy of their titles and assocla As to the artists themselves, at least one listener will cease to overly regret never having heard me rion zaleys. and Is willing to concede that the Gordon stands in the very first rank of present day quartets. jm. nioht's audience was large and appreciative, with a greater number of young people present than last season. Now if President Isaacs, when reminding association members to be in their seats before the concert be gins, would also remind some to de sist from whispering and rattling their programs (two inexcusable breaches of courtesy) during numbers, it would be appreciated by those who desire, rightfully, to give their un divided attention to the music which Is being played. . Card of Thanks.
