Large Audience at the First of Two
- Concerts Displays Great
Enthusiasm.
NUMBERS ARE WELL RENDERED

The FIonzaley Quartet gave yesterday
afternoon at the Masonic Auditorium
the first of two concerts with which
Washington is favored this season. The
first number was the d minor quartet
of Schubert, and this was followed by
the Opus 81, No. ;, of Haydn.

the absence of sophistication are the
marked characteristic of the Haydn
quartet, and this the F1onzaley players.

fine piece Of part writing is the
andante of the Schubert quartet. 1t is
built on themes from his song Death
and the Maiden The first and last
parts of this movement are of a reli-
Eious character, the score is very full,
and the parts so closely knit together
that the effect is of an organ. Certain
motifs of the finale recall bits of the
Earl King music, a similarly breathless,
sgitated rhythmic pulse also pervades
the movement. The quartet was re-
ceived with the greatest enthusiasm by
the audience.

been set aside, and sl5ooo is available
for an immediate start on the plant.
The site selected is on the river front
