FRIDAY CONCERT Program numbers which Ralph Dobbs, American pianist, will present in his concert here Friday night at the high school auditorium, were announced to day. Mr. Dobbs, whose appear ance here is sponsored by the High School Music department and the Medford Musical society, is especially noted for his authoritative interpretation of Liszt, Brahms and Chopin. - "Introduction and Fugue" by Vivaldi-Casella and "Handelian Rhapsody," Scott, will be the opening concert numbers.

Following will be "Intermezzo E Major Op. 116," Brahms "Scherzo B Minor," Chopin; "Nocturne" by Griffes and "The Gypsy Chorus" from 'Carmen, Bizet-Moszkowski. Closing num ber will be "El Vito" by Infante A survey of Dobbs press notices show him to be a most popular concert artist. The New York American wrote of him: "Dobbs revealed unusual talent. He has muscles of steel and can get a tremendous tone from a piano. Besides his strength and bravura, he can play with delicacy and grace. The audience was exceedingly enthusiastic." The New York World Telegram wrote "Dobbs has a solid and brilliant tech nique, a resourcefully used tone, a high degree of physical endur ance and the ability to pile up tremendous climaxes of tone. Dobbs was born in Chicago and received most of his training there with Alexander Raab. In 1931 he won the Frederick Stock award and an invitation to ap pear as soloist with the Chicago Symphony orchestra. His musi cal career since then has been a succession of highly successful concert appearances in New York, Los Angeles and other musical centers and he now en Joys a reputation as a particu larly colorful and dramatic pianist. A desire to help others in their musical development led him into piano teaching and he Is now head of the piano de partment at Willamette university.
