POLAH, vIOLINIST, HEARD.
His style Is Free From Cheap
Effects.

Andre Polah, violinist, gave a recital
yesterday afternoon in Aeolian Hall.
His most pretentious numbers were Mo-
zart's d major concerto and Chausson's
"Poeme." Other strictly exhibition pieces
followed. but the young artists musical
constitution was made known In the
first two. He disclosed a small tone OF
good quality, an intonation generally ac-
curate and bow delicate and elastic
but without broad virility.
His style showed larger mastery of
smoothness and finish than Of warmth
or color. The Mozart concerto. for ex-
ample. was played with cool correctness
but with little of the playful fancy
found in the music. Mozart here seemed
TO be amusing himself in 1775 with GER
tain characteristic phrases. later heard
with some notifications in lie Nozze
di Figaro" This In itself might have
suggested to the performer a manner OF
presentation. But Mr.. Polah appeared
20 be striving after what the populacs
regards as the poetic" But from his
own point OF view his Interpretation de-
served commentator. II was well sus-
tanned.
His style further commanded respect
for its freedom from cheap effects. It's
from all sensationalism
and its general good taste. If this vio-
lnist had a larger and more full blood
ed tone and a more temperamental de-
livery he would interest his hearers
more.
