QUAINT OLD SONATA

Violiniist Includes a Don
Biber in Aeolian Recital.

Rudolph Polk, violinist, gave a recital
last evening in Aeolian Hall. This young
man, who Is a New Yorker. studied
chiefly In Germany and played in Berlin
before the war. Returning home two
years ago he entered the army and
served his country. He has now re
sumed the practice Of his art without ex-
pectation Of repeating his success In the
former seat of German empire.
His programme had one uncommon
item. to wit. the c minor sonata of
Heinrich ]. FRANC Won Biber, who was
born in Bohemia so long ago as 1644, and
died in 1904 In Salzburg. Biber was a
violinist and composer Of violin works.
but music lovers will search their memo
ries in vain for a record of any local per-
formance of his compositions.
There was some reason for believing
that the sonata played last evening
would disclose certon features of
interest and even piquancy. II It were
presented with a skill adequate to its re-
ouirements. Mr.. Polk showed himself to
be a we'll taught performer. His technic
was generally good. His tone was not
largo and 1t was assuredly dry and mo-
notonous, but his finger work was accu-
rate and his bowling. II not especially
elastic, was at least clean. The want of
color in his tone and Of incisiveness in
his style initiates against his chances of
success with the quaint old sonata of
Biber.
Other numbers on his list were an un-
accompanied prelude and fugue Of Bach.

movement from Vieuxtempss concerto
