! m HE piano playing Of both Paloma
and Karla Schramm is remarka-
Il BILE for two things-first, the clear
musiclanly feeling which pervades ey-
erything they do, and second, the abb
solute poise and lack of self-consclous-
ness which they show.
Given youth. talent, and the adula-
ton which follows that combination,
and the average young woman reaches
maturity with an abnormally developed
self esteem which Is sure in some way
to detract from her success in pubic
appearances. But if girlish simplicity
dominates the manner of both these
young women. no evidence of youth or
inexperience occurs in their playing.
In their recital last night at simpson
auditorium the Schramm girls inter-
preted their program with a broad, Wig
orous style which was always hnlshed
and comprehensive, although OCCASION
ally slightly more obvious than the
ultra critical listener could demand.
Professional musicians of recognized
standing in Los Angeles paid these
young women the compliment OF at
tendance, and voiced their approval or
their work in no unhesitating manner
Especially was this true after the very
remarkable improvisation when MISS
Paloma Schramm offered, of a dlfhcult
her from the audience. This exposition
of q peculiar phase of musicianshlp
was a revelation. The few notes OF the
theme were woven throughout a musl-
cal composition of brilliant ana very
interesting construction, and the result
amazed and delighted all listeners
This peculiar talent is one which offers
a decided variety in the recltal pro
gram, and is sure to make an interest
! ing and curiosity provoking feature IN
the Saturday matinee program winch
the same players will offer
OF the two sisters the magnificent
tonal quality and power of Paloma Is
well balanced by the scintillant bril-
liancy of her sister.
The Weber Rondo which kara plays
| in her solo group was beautifully eX-
ecuted and displayed the fluent and
melodic attributes of her work to eX-
cellent purpose. This number is also
included in the program for the Satur-
day matinee. .
The Wagner-Tausig arrangement OF
Siegmunds love song from DE
Walkure" was an admirable venice
for Miss Paloma's beautiful, frm
cantabile tone. and for the display of
strong rhythmic feeling. OF entirely
different requirement, but given with
canal success, was the Schumann-
List "Fruhlingshacht' and an encore
number for left hand alone.
Friends who heard the sisters IN
their previous appearances are De
lighted with the progress that they
have made and there is indeed a re-
markable future for them.
They have already attained an ar
tistry which would delight many play
ers of twice their years, and one can
only wonder what heights they will
scale within the next few years
The program in which they will APP
pear Saturday afternoon promises TO
be even more interesting and briillant
than that of last night, and will al
ford both girls full opportunity for
both solo and concerted work.
The sisters will appear together in
the andantino movement from MO-
zart's Concerto in e fiat No. and
Paloma will play the first movement
from the Grieg concerto In A minor,
the orchestral part to be played on
second piano by Josef Riccard. This
is the concerto which Teresa Carreno
played here recently with the SYM
nhonv orchestra. Miss Schramm will
also play one of her own compositions,
| Allegro Appassionata in B minor, ana
a prelude and nocturne for left hand
alone by Scriabine.
Both sisters were given much APP
plause last night and responded to
many bouquets and baskets of flowers
sent to them made the stage veri-
| table bower.
