WERNER Friday afternoon at the Peter Britt Gardens in Jack sonville the Music and Fine Arts festival association pre sented the Festival Players in program of 17th, 18th, and 19th century chamber music. This music was all written to be played In a small hall or large room for a select audi ence. It is intimate music and consequently limited in sta ture. The first place by Telle mann was a concerto a tre in F major. It comprised three movements - Allegro moder ato, Loure (a dance) and Tem po di Menuet. The players were Arthur Perrow, record er; Russell White, French horn; and Beverly LeBeck, cello. The choice of instruments was anything but happy to say the least. All of the real music of the piece was for the recorder, which at best is a very weak instrument. Cou pled with a cello and horn the balance was evident only by its absence. Tellemann is hav ing a revival of sorts these days but he is, and was, defi nitely a second-rater. He is in teresting to musicologists in the same way that old letters are interesting to a biograph er; much ado about nothing. In attempting to achieve a balance Mr. Perrow overblew his instrument, causing it to go sharp. The others for the same reason underplayed their instruments, there b y losing much in sonority. Violinist Playi An overture (suite) b y Schultze in which Charles Hei- den, concertmaster of the or chestra, replaced the horn was next, This is also second rate music by a harmless old Ger man composer and is in seven parts - Prelude, Rigaudon, Passepied, Aria, Menuet, March and Gigue. As in the Tellemann, all the music was in the recorder part. The vio linist and the cellist tried bravely to make music of what they had but it just was not there. After intermission a trio for piano, violin and horn by Johannes Brahms was played by Margaret Moore, piano; Charles Heiden, violin; and Mr. White, French horn. It is in four movements titled An dante, Scherzo, Adagio mesto and Finale (Allegro con brio). Brahms, of course, is con sidered universally as being a genius of the first order al though he only claimed to be a craftsman. Composers of piano music have tried many combinations of other instru ments to go with their piano music but have never found one that excels the one which includes violin and cello. Of High Order The music for this trio Is of a very high order composed by a master but it lacks bot tom, that bottom which the cello can supply. Because of the problem of the sun, the players were placed against the back of the shell and the beautiful work of Miss Moore was lost. This lady can play the piano with great delicacy and has great control over the tonal nuances, but even on a concert grand piano her case was hopeless. Perhaps a par tial opening of the lid may have helped. Mr. Heiden played with fine feeling and warm tone but was overplayed by the horn. Many times Mr. White was too strong and his tone was too much on the orchestral side. But the audience knew, bless 'em, as all audiences know, great and good music when they hear it. They may not be able to tell you just what it is but you can't fool them. They liked Mr. Brahms and the way it was played. The players had to respond three times to the applause. Friday Reviewed For the Friday evening con cert at the Britt Music Festi val, as it is now being called, the orchestra returned to play a very interesting program. First was a trumpet tune by Stanley played by James Smith. This piece is evidently from the English school and cheery and bright. Mr. Smith played it in his inimitable style and general mastery. The most outstanding thing about his playing Is his tone. Never does he become brassy. Always there is that golden shimmer, heavenly ethereal quality that pours out in un broken flow. The angel Ga briel surely has a place all set aside for Mr. Smith. The suite by Corelli, father of violin playing, next was played by the strings and they did themselves proud. This is lovely music of great sincerity and charm. Although several hundred years old it is as fresh and alive as when it was written. Plays Under Duress A "Poem for Flute and Orchestra" followed with Gretel Shanley as soloist. Its composer, Charles Griffes, was a young American who died all too soon, from that all to frequent cause - over work. Miss Shanley performed the solo part under great duress, having been in an accident re cently and being trussed in a brace. A salute to a brave lady who played very, very well indeed. After intermission the or chestra played Stravinsky'; "Pulcinella Suite on Themes by Pergolesi."

But that is Stravinsky; he knows what you can play and he makes you do it. But then, man must earn some of his bread with sweat.
