h w, s, omen s oection SOCIETY CLUBS MUSIC At Concert Monday Evening Pianist Delights Audience - (By Gladys Adaroaon) Monday night's concert, played by the eminent pianist, Bern hard Abramowitseh, was a triumph both for the artist and for the Medford Musical society, whose members have long wished to pre sent him to our city. Since the two occasions when he played "for members only" the society has been anxious to share this great artist with all music lovers in the Rogue River valley. oemum, u ever, nas a pianisi been accorded such rapt at tention from a Medford audience, and Mr. Abrahowitsch was highly pleased with our recep tion 01 ine tremendous Schu m a n n "Davidsbundlertanze." When told of the large number of music students present, he smiled with pleasure, knowing that those who have delved into the mysteries and intricacies of a Schumann composition would realize something of the magni tude of this work. To have the opportunity of hearing this composition is quite unique, for seldom does a pian ist have the courage to under take it. We have never seen it programmed on a general con cert; it is usually reserved for the seminar or festival series in a great music center. Its techni cal demands are limitless and in it Schumann employed every de vice of modulation, rhythmic oat- tern and variety of mood imag- lnaDie. ciRiueen small sections, each a complete entity, were played with a delightful self lessness which constantly amazed the listener. This work is prob ably the most difficult of all Schumann compositions, and yet it was played with such effort less ease that one was carried away into each little sidepath, as the composer doubtless in tended one should be. Again and again, one felt that here was a performer who is so deeply grounded in the works he plays that one hears the work of the composer, rather than the work of the pianist. This is not always so. Too of ten, the longest memory of a recital is of the mannerisms of the performer. One critic has said "Aaramowitsch is the kind of musician whose thought-processes strike you as essentially creative rather than presenta tive." Let us say it in simpler language; this (musician has no showmanship, nor does he need any. His sincerity is so intense that he immediately loses him self in the music he plays. His mastery of the piano is so great that his performance seems al most too easy. One must remind oneself of the tremendous de mands of the numbers he pre sents. From the first note of the Mozart "C Minor Fantasy", with which the concert opened, it was evident that this pianist might well be called the "little giant of the piano." Small in stature, the magnificent brilliance of his tecl-nique came almost as a sur prise. He played Mozart with so much more variety than is the usual style for this composer, that new wonders were found throughout this well-known num ber. Exquisite delicacy and clar ity of tone, contrasted with pas sages of intensity which sounded like Beethoven, gave a new brilliance to the work. omoiNAL aspirin for chil dren bearing St. Joseph name. grain tablets as sure accuracy.

The last group of the even ing included four Chopin com positions, the "C Minor Noc turne," the A Flat Major and the G Minor Waltzes, and the "G Minor Ballade, No 1." Cho pin's lyricism and emotional charm were given full expres sion In these numbers and the artist's exquisite scale passages and almost unbelievable pianis simos brought prolonged ap plause. As encores. Mr. Abramo witseh played Schubert's "Im promptu in F Minor," and a de lightful little waltz. He is wide ly recognized as an exponent of Schubert compositions, and one would have enjoyed hearing more of these lyric works. In discussing the "story" back of the Schumann "David League Dances," Mr. Abramowitseh was asked what composers of today he considered the "Davids" a m o n g us. He immediately named Sessions, Shoenberg, who began as such a brilliant young composer but dropped out of sight for twenty years, but has now come into prominence again, together with Stravinsky. When asked about Ernest Bloch who now resides in Oregon, the pianist said he would like to present some of his compositions "when I come again to Medford." In view of the great pleasure evidence by his audience of Monday night, such a pleasant thing just might happen again. . Family Here Chief Petty Officer and Mrs. G. W. Walker and daughter. Gloria, spent the week-end in Medford with Mrs. Walker's par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Grover Bru nelle of West Beall lane. The Walkers returned to their home in Vellejo, Cal., Sunday evening.
