THE SYMPHONY STRING QUARTET

N0zarts quintet In minor and BeethOven's
quartet IN Z sharp minor, Op. l31, were the con-
ccrtod pieces upon the programme OF the York
symphony String Quartet third concert given yester-
day In the Chamber Music Hail. The performance OF
the Mozart quintet was one OF the most arstically
conceived and beautifully finished pieces of work
that the organization has achieved. The work was
read with the most thorough sympathy with IT. fresh
and peculiarly modern spirit: the delightful part
writing which chaiactelZeS ii received an exposition
OF notable nuency and ccarncss and the lovely tOna
quality and scrupuOus balance OF the playing were
significant OF how Iaridly Mr.. Brodsly's associates
have been gaining In unity of feeling and the bteties
OF ensemble The second viola part IN this piece
allotted 10 Me- johann Chupsa. In the beethoven
quartet task OF much greater magnitude was set
before tho players-Greater, in fact Than any
they lad hitherto attempted. The manner
in which they performed it revealed the organization
in the full height its artistic stature. The great
technical difficulties Of the work, in which tie com
poser has pushed 10 utmost limits the capacity OF
the etring quartets expression Wcro met with power
that enabled the emotional significance Of work to
be lad bare as IL seldom Is only by such sustained
nobility of style and poignant intensity of pathos in the
slow movements, such vehement power and sweep In
the alegrOs rs Mr.. Brodsky and his associates dis
played IN this work, and the retaining such potent
individuality in each voice through it ALL can these
later Beethoven quartets be rightly Interpreted. The
performance met with the highest appreciation frVm
the audience and an enthusiastic applause that was
wholly merlted In place Of The third concerted work
that mas previously found place on the programme
III those concerts Miss Julie llartung yesterday
contributed four songs by schubert, schuinann and
Brahms with charming warmth and cXprcssiveness,
