scherzo and the vIvaclty Of the final
presto movement brought the familiar
and beautiful number to n close.
Debussys moderHity Of style was
strongly emphasized in the numbers that
followed the Schubert selections. If musi-
cal standards are judged by contrast, here
was abundant opportunity to discriminate
between two distinct styles of compost
iion. Nothing was detected in the Quar-
tet in G minor which seemed to justify
the criticism leveled upon this exponent
OF the modern Paris school. that his pro-
ductiOns are apt to offend the prejudices
OF acknowledged musicians
Debussy shows extreme refinement and
depths of expression in handling unex-
pected melodic and harmonic ideas. The
scientific side of the composers art, as
well as the concordant, was magnihcentiy

fresh, vivid. and perfectly mOdulated, yet
blended so skiHfuIly that the four instru-
ments appeared to be under the control
OF single intelligence
A veritable rapture Of sadness was ex-
pressed in some OF the emotional pas
sages, and the exquisite number was re-
pIete with a haunting mystery of sound
brought TO a conclusion all TOO soon. The
brevity Of the selection was its sole rea-
son for criticism.
The final number on the programme, by
Guere-a young Russian and pupil OF
Safonoff-has been the subject of much
discussion. II was produced recently IN
New York before a cOmmendatory audi
ence. that included the young author
himself. and the critics were unanimous
IN praise of the composition which is
finely constructed and developed through
out. In the third movement-Tema cen
variaziong-a dramatic fantasy is sug-
gested. The music seems elOquen1y de-
scriptive of some theme the composer
should have named. II furnishes great
opportunity for skiIIfuI rendition, and the
members OF the Kneisel Quartet rose

orchestral effect. in the more eloquent
