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,

"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.
