the exceptionally good fortune of &C.
curing through Mr.. Bohumir Kryl. q
concert of Jaroslav K0cisn, one OF the
worlds greatest violinist, who will ap-
pear at Protivin March 30th, 1918.
Concerning Kocian's standing as an
artist we clip the following from the
Cleveland Nexs.
':Jaroslav Kocian ranks with the great
est living violinists of the younger
school. This fact he demonstrated to
the conviction off all present Sunday
night at his recital given under local
Bohemian auspices.
Kocian overcomes The colossal diff
ficulties of Wieniawski, Hubay, Sevcik
and Paganini with such apparent ease
that bis hearers scarcely realize the
mechanical possibilities he has develop
ed in the faultless production Of his
passages of thirds, octaves, tenths and
double harmonics.'
His style is more deliberate than in.
tensely emotional, and he does not re-
sort to extreme effects Of sentimental
exaggeration to sway his audience. but
rather charms by the luscious beauty Of
his tone, the purity of his intonation,
and the dignifed, still ripening. poetic
beauty of his conception.
These points he made manifest in
the virtually fawless performance OF
the Wieniawski concerto, the Ries
Adsgio, and in an exquisite Bohemian
cradle song.
His supreme yirtuosity shone to daz'
zling effects in his own Humoresque, 9
