JoSEFFYS RECITAL,
no Famous Pianist Plays for a Fair sized
Audience In Memorial Hall.

considering the average size of the
auulence that assemblies to hear a first
rate artist in this city, Rafael Joseffy
may conclude that he had very fair
mouse at his recital in Memorial hall
last evening. As for the performance,
II must be said that the intellectual
ana analytical rather overshadowed the
emotional and romantic. Not that
| there was any lack of fire, for there
was an abundance of it; and there was
individuality, or it would not have been
Josefty at the piano. But for all that
one sometimes felt that the poetic in
SEPARATION was absent, and despite the
frequently SenSuOus tone coloringS and
the delcate bits of tone tracery, the
imagination was not always satisfied
ana there was a yearning for the emo
lions which the master hand and mind
nave so often excited when exerting
the fullness of their influence. Some
allowance, no doubt, must be made for
mood. for there comes a time when the
blood does not always Jingle to order
with the ardor of youth
Brahms powerful and very modern
sonata in F minor was the first piece,
and the pianist played it with wonder
full clearness of detail. beauty of
phrasing and masterful handling of
contrasts and climaxes. Did this
largely intellectual effort cast a shad-
oW upon the more romantic music
which followed? There were List S
settings of Schubert's" Good night and
Loves message; Chopin's fourth bal
lad which some commentators have
thought better adapted to a select cir
Gle than to the concert room, and the
same composers maZurka in B fiat
minor; Henselts B fat minor etude;
a nocturn and a minuet by Rubinstein
and List ballad. There was much
to admire in the pianist's technique, his
tone production, his sl1illful use of the
pedal, his legato, his dainty arabesques
and strong chord playing, and yet the
expected charm was not always real
lied.
The recital closed with Tschaikow-
skis tempeStuouS sonata in G major
1t is work Of formidable difficulties,
and only a master could demonstrate
its emotional content. There is enough
of Sclavic melancholy, especially in the
dignified first movement and in the
andante. which two movements were
among the most convincing perform
ances of the evening. The scherzo is
peculiar, and the finale is not alto
though it is punctuated with beautiful
effects which were carefully brought
out by the pianist. Here, again, there
was especial demand for analytical
treatment. but there was also a tur-
moil of passion and pathos not to be
found in the Brahms sonata. and it
was in the combination Of these fire.
quently antagonistic principles of in
tellectuality and emotion that Joseffy
eXcelled.
The audience was deferential rather
than enthusiastic. Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseffy returned to New York on the
midnight train.
