Miss Mary FindIey
With so many good numbers and each
we'll given it is difficult to make spe-
! clay mention of any without a wrorg
impression being given of the others. but
Miss Findleys piano playing should not
be passed without special mention. Miss
Findley has completed the the required
course OF piano. harmony and history al
the conservatory and this was her final
appearance in recital before going to
! Chicago. where she will study until June
when she will return to be graduated
with her class at the conservatory.
As though inspired by the occasion
/ Friday she rendered the Chopin Varia
/ tons Brilliants with an intensity OF feel
ing. command of technic and withal a
delicacy of touch that astonished her
/ listeners.
Another interesting feature of the az
ternoon was the mandolin solo. lie
gende." by Wieniawski. a most soulful
but difficult composition. Miss Scknel
rendered this masterpiece OF music with
/ surprising skill, reaching climaxes and
at other times giving the most delicate
ritardando that would finally fade into
! silence.
