Lester-Evans Recital.

The seasons most important must
cal program was presented at the Y.
NJ. c.. A. auditorium last evening by
William Lester, pianist and Clarence
Clayton Evans, violinst under the aus
pieces of the Monday Music club. The
audience which included many of the
Iappreciative musicians of the city
was most hearty in its reception of
both artists, forcing them to respond
to an encore after each number The
interest of the evening centered in
the final number, The Rhapsody for
violin and piano by William Lester
This is in the form of variations, a
composition in which an idiomatic
rhythm is thrown into classical form.
The first movement is a fantastic
largo minor movement, pompously
delivered by violin and piano. This
works into fast movement treating
the theme in jocose mood A long de-
yelopment OF this leads into pas
sionate, broad melody, Last there is
a return to the largo movement end
ling in tender motif with one pas
sionate burst of quaint harmony. The
Rhapsody is Enthusiastically violin
iistic, the violin and piano parts being
closely knit. Adolf Bruno has said
that this composition ranks as one Of
the greatest violin works produced in
/ America
It's technical difficulties were mas
tered by Mr.. Evans with such appar-
ent ease that very few of the audi
ence we're conscious of them.
The encore following this number,
was the slow movement from Mr.. Les
/ ter's Sonata for piano and violin
/ Opus So, and this too was received
with enthusiasm.
Mr.. Evans has the art of the violin
4 at his finger tips. Clear information
deep, vibrant tone, marked excellence
\ of bowling, intimate control OF tone
shading characterize his playing; no
hesitation, no sliding, no apparent eff
| fort no marks of the mere student,
altogether the methods of a master.
Each performance was characterized
by intellectually. everything was
thought out to completeness, and was
| both individual and artistic.
The very first number, Grieg's Son
alta in A Minor, for violin and piano,
displayed excellence of technique in
both the violin work Of Mr.. Evans
and the piano part of Mr.. Lester.

HEAL TIL WRECKED
BY THE GRIP
Its Attack Generally Leaves the
Patient Debilitated and an
Easy Prey to Other
Diseases.

One OF our foremost, medical writer's
says: "It is astonishing, the number
of people who have been crippled in
health for years alter an attack OF the
grip" The real danger from the grip
is during convalescence, when thechar-
acteristic symptoms, the fever, the
catarrh, the headache and the depres-
sion Of spirits pass away. The grip
leaves behind it weakened vital powers,
thin blood, impaired digestion and
over-sensitiye nerves--a condition that
makes the system an easy prey to pneu-
monia, bronchitis, rheumatism, ner-
vous prostration and even consumption.
1T is condition that calls emphati-
cally for tonic for the blood. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are a tonic especial
~ adapted to meet this need as they
purify and enrich the blood. They tone
up the nerves and give vigor, strength
and health to the debilitated system.
The cure OF Mrs. A. l.. Beckwith. of

treatment with DIR. Williams Pink

This sonata is in reality duet with
marked than their fine ensemble. Both
artists are pre-eminently sane in
style, there was nothing spectacular.
OF William Lester, those who
know his work best that is the must
clans feel that they can hardly say
enough in praise; and all Keokuk is
awakening to pride in this young Eng
lishman, adopted now and loved as
keokuk's own.
His strength is in the soul behind
the effort. He has technique. But his
aim is not technique, but the express
sion of a message. And he has mes.
sage, He is a conservative artist,
builder or creator, and through this
attains mastery success in interpre-
tation. So ambidextrous is he, that his
left hand speaks as fluently as does
his right. and both are mastery as an
orators tongue. His listeners take
this mechanical mastery as a matter
of course, because he holds the atten-
ton to the thought and feeling of the
music
Mr.. Lester is a we'll rounded must
clan, making his knowledge of the
organ add to his handling of the
piano, and his understanding of the
voice. and the orchestra contribute to
both He is an interchangeable worker,
but his effort is for the most part
mental, not mechanical. This be-
comes clear to one who listens to him
analytically for in his art he is al
| ways greater than his technique, how
ever much that may partake of his
vigor
Mr.. Lester eXcels in the interpreta-
/ ton of Bach, and last evening he
played the most wonderful of Bach s
compositions, the Fantasia and Fugue
in G Minor, transcribed for the piano
| for Busoni. Ills clearness of technique
was admirably displayed in the double
figure in this composition, for every
voice could be followed distinctly. as
1 il the different instruments of an
orchestra were playing them, instead
of the fingers of one pianist. Critics
have said that Bach has compressed
everything in great music into that
one composition, and all this was IL
| Illuminated under this young artists
! touch. From the meditative introduc-
| ton, through the steady going theme
with its mystic nature, up to the
great climax. Mr.. Lester displayed a
range in execution from tenderest
delicacy to virile strength.
The rendition of two intermezzi, a
Romance and Ballad by Brahms,
convinced even the most unwilling
| that Brahms music is not dry and
scientific, not scholastic, but human
and individual. Mr.. Lester succeeds
in making classical music interesting
to even the laity, because fully equal
to the Interpretation of it.
| The second piano group, lie Mer by
Debussey, THE Play of the Waters at
| Villa D'Este'' by List and Das Nicer
| by Nicode, showed mastery in the
musical expression of mood. An inter
pretative artist only could do what
Mr.. Lester did with these three COM
positions, picturing as they do in
turn, the rhythmic movement and
CLINT of the sea at quiet noon, the
dreamy haze on the Adriatic at even
ing, and the gloom and tragedy of the
northern ocean.
