Has Rested" by Lohr, displayed best
her seriousness and was most enjoyed
The dainty encore was exceptionally
well done
Mr.. Dotterweich played with great
ease and refinement. His selections
were exceedingly well chosen and
| characterized by intellectual interpre-
tation. In the Fantasia" it was a joy
to miss the usual Sentimentality at
! tached to Chopin rendering; the
Gluck1St. Saens Caprice" was SO per-
feet you would have gladly had it re-
peateds and the closing Paganini-Listz
number of La Campanella, was hard
ly less charming. Every number was
SO artistically Interpreted that it was
a real opportunity for the listener who
was also a learner. Thruout the stu
dent would have been impressed with
his mastery of the pedal. Mr.. Dotter-
kowski Meditation" which he rem
dered with thoughtful Interpretation,
leaving his audience longing to hear
him again.
Mr.. Tello is an artist who has for
gotten there are any technicalities
with his splendid instrument. His
rendition of Concerto in a Minor by
finish even tho it occupied the diff
cult first place on the program. For
his group selection he offered "Mly-
narski Mazurka," which has been used
as teaching piece SO long in Topeka
that we pray to be delivered from
even perfect rendering thereof; the
Martini "Andantino." which was a
most enjoyable bit of perfection, and
the 'Liebesfreud,' which has been
splendidly played many times from
that samo platform. We appreciate
that beautiful composition must
often be repeated to be understood,
but from an artist familiar with and
able to interpret anything in the vast
range of violin literature, the public
is really hungry to hear some of those
things less often available. Washburr,
has been rarely fortunate in the past
in having had number of excellent
violinists. The S. A. T. C. did not at
that time exist, but it Is a moot
question if for their entertainment
even 1T was not rash to spend such
thoughtless harmonic son "Old Black
joe"
Too much credit cannot be given
Dean Bredin for his musicianly ac-
compartments and his enterprise in
furnishing the public with such an
opportunity as the course affords, at
popular price. Our only regret is
that it does not include an organ re-
cital by itself.
