JOHN POWELL TO
MUSIC CLASS
Delivers Address on Music and
Illustrates Many Points
Clearly.

In describing the old-fashioned Viz
ginia gentewoman, Virginia author
who knew whereof he wrote said once
that she had no special grace OF man
ner because she had the best manners
in the world
John Powell said very nearly the
same thing in impressing upon MS
audience yesterday afternoon. at the
home of his sister. Mrs, Smith BROCK
enbrough. the truth, beauty and SINGER
ity of the Leschitisky principles. which.
rightly adopted, would make must
clans and artists of students. Mr.. Pow
ell described these principles. not as a
method, but as the development OF
moral and artistic force forSthe upl!ft-
ing Of character in every way.
He illustrated what he had to say
on position, color and rhythm by selec-
tons from Chopin nocturne, an I'M
promptu and scherzo-bringing out
fully the singing quality Of light, Dell
icate notes In the first, the pearly har-
mony OF the second, and the color given
by the proper use OF the pedal In the
third. military march from Schu-
bert demonstrated the importance of
the wrist movement In the playing or
octaves. Mr.. Powell impressed upon
Mrs. Brockenbrough's class Of music
pupils. to whom his talk was mainly
addressed, the absolute necessity Of
concentration Of purpose and will in
the successful pursuit Of their musical
work.
The privileged group Of friends who
shared with Mrs. Brockenbrough's class
the pleasure OF the afternoon wished
Mr.. Powell successful voyage and an
other triumphant winter as they babe
him good-by, because he sails for Eu-
rope on Saturday. His little nephew,
Carter Williams. a baby prodigy as to
music. played a duet with his uncle
as an appropriate finish to the illus
trated talk"
No better exemplification of utter
naturalness grace and ease in a must
clan can be found than In Mr.. Powell
who should have a DR.. George
w. Bagby, the author OF a classic on
How Rubenstein Played" to write a
second and call it How John Powell
Played"
