Reviewer Praises Both" Performers and Audience By RICHARD D. WERNER At its second concert of the 1958-59 season the Civic Mu sic Association presented the Griller String quartet Friday at the Medford High school au ditorium. This is the second time the quartet has per formed here and it received a very hearty welcome. The audience responded to the players and the music in the most decorous manner yet displayed. Since chamber mu sic in general and string quar tet music in particular is of the highest plane, it was ex tremely gratifying to watch our friends and neighbors of the audience so rapt in atten tion that there was no break in the continuity of the play ing of each work by applause interruptions. No metropoli tan audience could have dis played a greater restraint and understanding. Special!

OPEN MONDAY NIGHTS TiL 9 It has been the writer's ex perience over a musical career of over 40 years that the audi ence feels, it may not know why - but it "feels" when a thing is really of the first order. Quality evokes a re sponse and it is rewarded. That is why all art is safe in the hands of the people and the good and the great art continues to live. The people may not be able to tell why but they "know" and that is enough. And so it was with the quar tet. They are fine performers perhaps not as individuals, but as the Grillers, they are superb. Faults probably could be found with this or that player (which one has none?) but each as a voice in the whole was what made it a really beautiful vehicle for the music of the composers - and any composer created by the Grillers is fortunate indeed. It was most appropriate to open the program with a work of Haydn - the father of the string quartet. And it was played as Haydn intended - to please the audience. The old Pana was always haDDV when his audience was pleased. He wrote for them because ne loved them and in turn they loved him and they still do. The earlv work of Milhaud written in 1912 gives signs of the later great Frenchman. There are indications of in fluence from Debussy and Bartok but withal an excel lent piece of writing by a man harelv 20. We like Milhaud for his supreme confidence and a certain abandon under control that is very satisfying. Never deep or profound or even lyrical but with a certain aplomb that carries it off. One does not carry his music away from the hall. It has no adhesion. It seems to us this time as it did when the quartet was here before that they are most pxnert in contemporary mu sic. And we feel it is because it suits the style and temper ament of Sidney Griller him self. . The somewhat glassy tone of the first violinist suits this modern "juxtaposition of sounds." After intermission Mozart's lnvelv ouartet in A Maior was played with beautiful style and taste. Reversing -the order of the Menuetto and Andante was most happy from a listen ing and balance standpoint. As an encore they played Haydn's "Serenade" from an early ouartet. Very lovely and sensitively done. On the basis of the two con certs so far given we are in for a beautiful musical season. We tip our hat! f Three Chapters Meet This V eek Three chapters of the PEO sisterhood will meet this week. Chapter CG will meet at 1 pjn. Wednesday, February 4, at the home of Mrs. E. L.
