Piano Artist Concert.

/
anist presented by John Bert Gra-
ham Of Trinity university. at Sims
library Monday evening, was heard
by very small but apreciative au-
dience. This is the third of Sc
ries OF musical artists which Mr..
Graham has brought to the city this
season, enabling Waxahaehians as
we'll as the students of Trinity's mus
ical school to hear good musical ar
fists at home. Miss Allie Barcus of
Waxahachie was a student of Thuel
Burnham's, studying under him in
Paris.
Mr.. Burnham is an artist of the
highest type, having been recognized
as such by the critics of Europe
and New York. He certainly showed
in his varied program of last eve
ming his complete mastery of his
art and instrument. The program
was varied as to composers and
|style. Beginning with the old mas
tiers Bach, Mozart and Beethoven,
and including the ever loved Schu-
bert and Chopin. His last group in
Guided French, Russian, and finally
our American Mcdowell. His style
extended from the beautiful runs
and thrills of Mozart, the melody in
Beethoven's Senate, to the brilliant
and very attractive Russian number
"Gopak" His two Polonais by
Chopin and Mcdowell showed Won
derful power and expression. Mr..
Burnham's Interpretation of Chopin
was especially good. His technique
throughout was clear and artistic
ally beautiful. After hearing his
program in it's entirety, his audi
ence could agree with Mr.. Graham,
in his Introductory remarks explain
ing that the Steinway piano had not
arrived, said: The piano does not
make the artist but the artist does
make the piano talk" Mr. Burnham
truly did. The program follows:
Bouree G minor. Bach
Bouree G Major. ...........B ach
Pastorale varie ........... mozart
Sonata OPP. 81 No. 2. -. Beethoven
Adagio.
Allegretto,
Presto agitato.
