Mr.. Roberts knows more about the
= instrument than does an average Or
= ganist, and the fine numbers on the
: program gave such delight to his
. hearers, that the effect was unmistak-
: able. Splendidly executed was the
, famous fugue in G minor; he reached
a grand climax in the final crashing
minor chord Of this wonderful COM
position of Bach. Quite the opposite
was the dainty melody, Chanson Bal
: ade, which called for touch of deli
cacy and clearness, showing in this
q strong contrast the versatility of this
/ talented young organist.
