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.

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.
