ALINE VAN BAERENTzEN PLAYS
Young American Pianiste Gives Ex-
cellent Recital in Witherspoon Hall

Aline van Baerentzen has everything
that goes TO make up a great pianist
She is remarkable technician and a
splendid artist. Her recital in Wither-
spoon Hall yesterday afternoon complete
ly thrilled the all-too-small audience which
came to hear a young player" but
stayed to listen to a master pianist, Such
playing is remarkable in one so young
as Miss van Baerentzen.
The American pianist's technique is
hawless. Her chords are full of power
her legato playing soft and smooth, the
arpegglos limpid as those of a harp. But
perhaps the most astounding feature of
Miss van BaerentEen's performance Is the
way she revels in the fast movements
Take, for example, the final allegro % her
first number, Beethoyen's Sonata, op. 81,
which she played faster than one usually
hears. Nevertheless as the movement
progressed, she increased the pace until
at the end her fingers whirled over the
keys with dazzling rapidity This was
the fastest playing that has ever come to
the reviewers attention. Yet each note
was given its full value, the chords re-
>tained their individuality and the pianist
gave due attention TO the composers di-
rections for expression.
In four selections from Schumann's
"F'antasiestuecke," Miss van BaeTentzen
showed her highly developed interpreta-
tive ability. One forgot her technique
here in the presence OF fine understand
ing Of the composers meaning Brahms
Variations on a Paganlni Theme"
brought the pianist back to her favOrite
field of virtuosity. A Chopin group and
a Liszt group completed the program.

RICH QUARTET FINAL CONCERT
Aurelio Giorni's Trio Given With
Composer at Piano

The fifth and final concert of the series
of the Rich Quartet was given last even
ing in wltherspoon Hall, and ended a sea-
son of both popular and artistic success
Novelty has been marked in the Rich
Quartet programs and the ultimate offer
ing had as its unusual feature a trio for
piano, violin and cello by Mr.. Giorni, the
young Italian, who has made a very def
mite place for himself in his several ap-
pearances this season. He was at the
plano in the first public performance of
his work, composed the current year. 1t
is written in the conventional four move
ments of the sonata form and consists of
an Allegro animate. Andante con motto,
Scherzo allegrissmo and Allegro con fu
oco. The melodic invention is fluent and
interesting, and the parts are compactly
and harmoniOusly related. The work
speaks both of inspiration and scholarship
and is of high credit to the still very
young composer It has no traces Of i'm
maturity of style or scoring. There was
beautiful collaboration between the piano
and the strings, the composer suppressng
all temptation to make the piano predomi-
nate, as it is so often done in compost
tions of the sort, and Messrs. Rich and
Kinder meeting him in a community of
ensemble.
The other instrumental number was

index, particularly in the last movement.

something of the romantic school symbol

touches of the typical Debrussyan style
that was to evolve and puzzle the musical
