ZIMBALIST ENDS HIS SEASON.
Presents New Piano and Violin
Sonata by John Powell.

Efrem zimbalist gave his anal violin
recital of the season yesterday afternoon
in Carnegie Hall The programme had
novel feature in new piano and
violin sonata by John Powell. which was
played from manuscript with the COM
poser at the piano.
Mr.. Zimbalist has introduced Mr..
Powells work as composer to New

l9l2-l8. in his own orchestral concert.
with the assistance OF Nahan Frankie, he
played violin concerto by Mr.. Powell.

Mr.. PowelPs piano and violin sonata.
written In A fiat, Is in one movement
designated allegro moderate, presto.
andante. tempo primo. The work at a
hrst hearing gave the impression that It
was composition OF fine musicianly
conception, containing much able and
also brilliant writing. The themes.
which include some elements OF negro
characters, are developed on a somewhat
massive scale and incidentally are not
| always clear in detail
As a whole the piano part in the
sonata Is in striking predomtnence over
that OF tAe violin. IL Is work not
likely to be brought forward by violinists
unless their motive be altruistic. The
| two artists brought their best efforts TO
its performance and in spite of the mo-
ments when proper balance IN ensemble
was necessarily lost there was much to
admire in their delivery. At its close
they were recalled several times.
Mr.. Zimbalists chief solo number was
the concerto in d minor OF Vieuxtemps
which he gave with ravishing tonal
beauty and mastery Of elegant style
and finished skill. Further included ir
his list was a 'Humoresque" by York
Bowen OF London and his own "Doina'

The fifteenth Sunday matinee of the

varied delights. II is not a Mendels-

gals Cave overture ushered in the af-

Then followed one OF those contribu-
tons to public pleasure which Mr.. Dam
rosch sometimes likes TO summon from
the secluded realm of chamber music
This was int-Saens's septet for trum-
pet. strings and plano with Winifred
Christie as the pianist and Samuel MIL
Ter as the trumpeter.
A bright and rhythmic composition,
with effective parts for the two solo in
struments this septet awoke the enthusi-
assn of the audience. Miss Christie dis
charged her duties excellently. Mr.. Mil
Ter trumpets in the orchestra and was
naturally at home in the ensemble.
Jacobsen as soloist.
Tho important solo performance OF the
concert followed when Sascha Jacobsen
was heard in the G minor concerto of
Bruch. He has played the composition
here before, but not quito as we'll as yes
terday. Mr.. Jacobsen Is a local product
and he has had a hard battle for recog-
milton. II he had come from some mys-
terious village in darkest Russin he
would have attracted immediate atten-
ton, but TO be born in New York, to
study and make his debut here were al.
most fatal.
Nevertheless we repeat what We have
already said in this place, that sascha
Jacobsen is one OF the foremost of the
young generation of violinists He plays
with extraordinary beauty OF tone and
| finish OF technic and also with musical
qualities OF the highest order. His per-

and II was properly applauded with
great vigor.
