POWELL'S MAGIC TOUCH
ENTHRALLS AUDIENCE

Of concentration upon the business in
hand than is at all common among
pianists. The music was full of mo-
BILE passages of increasing and ever
increasing tone, and though when II
seemed that the maximum was
reached there was still more to come.
the playing was never once noisy. In
the contrasting quiet passages the
command Of tone was just as sure.
and 1t was Joined to a secure touch
that awoke To full vigor in his rhap-
sodie, which was magnificently played
His playing of LISTS sonata in Il
minor was masterpiece of thought
full expression. For once the work
was invested with a rare depth OF
mysterious meaning, and the Inter
probation. unspoilt by a hint of viz
tuosity, aroused among the audience
that tense interest which Is never felt
for any but a really great perform
ance Where others have been con-
tent to be snowy, Mr.. Powell was in
tenseiy stimulating.
He held his hearers all through by
the force OF his personality, and in
admiration of his insight one forgot
the brillance of his technical gifts
They were given full scope in Chopin s
sonata, This last work was played
like the Iiszt, with uncommon force
and gravity. Such clearness of vi
sion and execution. such burging eio-
uuence and tender sentiment, such
vivid imagination, such tempestuous
power have seldom been crowded into
one sitting at the piano. Perhaps the
highest compliment it Is possible to
pay Mr. Powell is the admission that
throughout one is almost unconscious
of the means by which the ends were
achieved, despite the masterfulness
of the nianists left hand. and that
in the case of Liszt is saying a great
deal
Beethoven's A major sonata, OPP
. was chiefly remarkable for the
entire absence of tradition that char
acterized Ele reading. Early Bee

aesthetic exercise. but Mr.. Powell
furnished the exception 80.

large audience.
