PIANO RECITAL
ALL BEETHOVEN
Friedberg Plays at Aeolian Hall
in AfternOOn-TWO Other
Concerts.

Ballots and operas may come and 90.
but the world Of concerts remains IN
affected By the competition and goes
its way in peace. There were three
concerts Of interest yesterday, two at
Aeolian and one at Carnegie Hall, when
in the afternoon Carl Friedberg gave
piano recital, and in the evening the
Calvary Choir. with John Bland, tenor,
and Gcrmaine Schnitzer and Francis
Macmilien, gave recital Of piano and
violin.
Mr. Friedberg is an artist OF fine
rowers. His playing always is sure TO
give pleasure, for il possesses SINGER
ity. musical sense, taste and real dis
tinction. While there are virtuosi
whose technical mastery may be
greater, Mr.. Friedberg's powers of ex-
ecution are unusual and well con-
trolled.
His programme yesterday was de
voted entirely 20 Beethoven the
sonatas in T. minor, OPP. 90; the Moor
fiat major, Op. 81, No. 2. In addition,
Rondo in G. major, Op. 1873. An all
Beethoven afternoon IS not generally
an unslloyed delight, yet Mr.. Friedberg
succeeded in making the whole pro-
gramme one of keen interest. His
touch was delicate. yet firm, and his
color warm and varied. Above all. he
played with d sincerity and a dignity
that in Beethoven are particularly
grateful.
The chief element OF interest in the
Schnitzer- Macmillen recital At Car
negie was the Cyril Scott Sonata in c
major This was OF interest because II
was the works first performance II
America, but il did not appear TO have
the marks OF any enduring life. Need
less 20 say, it was of the modern school,
out outside OF some interesting rhythms
and harmonies there seemed to be lit
tie new or vital in its content II was
too long and too vague In outline. After
all. atmosphere will never oil the place
of ideas, and Mr.. SCOTS sonata seemed
last night to be largely atmosphere,
without bringing with it any direct or
definite message
Nr. Macmillen and Miss Schnitzer
gave the WORK a sympathetic perform
ance. Among the other numbers were
the Bach Prelude and Fugue in G.
minor. for violin alone. played by Mr..
Macmillen, and the Schumann Car
naval" played by Miss Schnitzer. The
audience was large and warm in its
greetings.
The Calvary Choir, with John Bland,
tenor and choirmaster. gave a well a.
tended concert at Aeolan, also in the
evening. The singing of the choir was
marked by precision of attack, nuance
and color of tone. Its chief fault was
an occasional deviation from the pitch,
which. seeing the music was all a cap
pella. was not surprising. On the
whole it was an exceedingly well
trained body. Mr. Bland himself sang
a number OF songs and proved himself
an artist Of Intelligence and taste II
