SPANISH PIANIST
HEARD IN RECITAL
Youthful Performer Shows
Considerable Technical Skill.

Paquita Madriguera, a youthful Span
ish pianist. gave a recital last evening
in Aeolian Hall. Miss Madriguera first
appeared here az a juvenile prodigy, but
since she has reached the ripe age Of 10,
as II is announced, she must claim con-
sideration as a player no longer in her
childhood. Yet pianists under 20 can
hardly be expected to have reached the
maturity OF their powers. and the seeker
after revelations therefore may cherish
the hope that larger achievements are
yet in the future
When very young performers reveal
interpretative powers OF a high order
something like genius must be present.
Unusual talent generally discloses itself
in special gifts of technical facility,
feeling and even vague imagination.
Poetry, though Uniformed and undiscip-
lined, breathes through their perfor-
mances. Exaggeration Is common and
misdirected effort plentiful.
Some OF these traits were found in
Miss Madriguera's playing last evening.
Her. technical skill Is considerable,
though not entirely adequate. Unbal-
anced accumulation OF phrases was dis
tlnctly traceabe to want of complete
independence of finger, and her tone,
which was generally good and never I'M
duly forced. was often hard and cold
when 1t should have been otherwise.
But that the young woman has musi-
cal instincts was shown clearly In some
parts of her uneven performance OF
Beethoven's sonata in A fat, opus ITO.
Some passages were almost fippant as
she read them. yet portions OF the great
fugue were admirably played. and her
whole delivery showed a deep respect
for the composition. Naturally there
were Chopin numbers and some Albenln
and Granados. In these latter the plan
list was at home. Mcdowell. Debussy.
Moszkowski and List were the other
composers on the programme.
