First of IL Series of Rccitals of
Beethoven sOnatas.

Harold Bauer and Jacques Thibaud
gave in Aeolian Hall last evening The
first in a Feres of'three recitals in which
the ten piano and violin sonatas Of
Beethoven are to be heard The two
players had offered the same series here
last season under the auspices Of the
Friends OF Music. but at that time they
were heard in a much smaller audi
torium than the one in which they
PLAYED last night.
The programme contained three So
ratas. those in ID. opus II. in q. opus
95. and in c minor, opus 80. They were
we'll chosen fer variety, the first two
coming from the first OF Beethoven's
three periods, and the last one, in c
minor, from his second period
The two distinguished musicians were
in admira BILE form and their performance
gave great delight They played with
rare finish and. save in a few PASSAGES
where the piano part was a little too
aggressive, their general ensemble work
was mastery. There was an audience OF
good size.
