SOCIETY and CLUBS Pianist Presents Opening Concert For Association (Mrs. E. E. Gors) The Jackson County Civic Music association Friday night gave the first concert of the 1946-46 series at the senior high school auditorium presenting E. Robert Schmitz, pianist, in a program that proved to be a revelation of pianistic art. The program was entirely represen tative of piano literature from Bach, 1685, to today's Gershwin. Selecting three representative numbers from his extensive Bach repertoire, Mr. Schmitz played with exactitude, quiet shaded control and a scholarly observ ance of pattern that resulted in a most satisfactory and musical rendition of this master's monu mental work. The great Chopin Sonata, In four contrasting movements, was played without pause and was marked by deep musicianship in interpretation, as well as by amazing fluency, dexterity and security of technique. After a brief intermission the music of the modernistic and im pressionistic masters was the of fering. As an interpreter of Ravel and Debussy, stressing the development of the modern French school, Mr. Schmitz is said to have no equal and the audience was keenly and en thusiastically responsive to the perfection and beauty of the music. Besides being an international ly known concert pianist, Mr. Schmitz is outstanding in the field of radio, chorale and or chestra organization, has brought out his own edition of many master works and ha3 published an exhaustive treatise elucidat ing the many intricacies of piano playing. He has been filling re cent concert engagements in Seattle and other cities of the northwest and is returning to San Francisco for further con certs. The encores were "Prelude" Debussy, "Golliwogg's Cake Walk," Debussy, and "Waltz in C-sharp Minor," Chopin.
