Pianist, Unknown Here,
Gives Unusual Concert
Guy Maier's "Music for Young
People" Delights Aeolian
Hall Audience

An interesting experiment was made
yesterday afternoon at Aeolian Hall
when Guy Maier, pianist totally un-
known to the local public, gave what
be called "a concert of music for
young people" Mr.. Maier had evi-
dently been inspired by ~the success
Of Walter Damrosch in the Symphony
concerts for young people, and had
adapted this idea for the more in
innate field of piano music. Like Mr..
Damrosch, Mr.. Maier before each selec-
tion made a few descriptive remarks
and then proceeded to play the num-
Der: The remarks were always clear
and we'll chosen, while as pianist
Mr.. Maier showed delicacy of senti-
ment and an admirable technique,
though, of course, nothing in the pro-
gram called out the deeper things in
the pianist's art.
Among the things Mr.. Maier played
were MacDowell's ITO an Old White
Pine" sarabande Of Bach; Lesche-
tizky's intermezzo in octaves; Pol
dini's "Marche Mignone," and Moez-
kowski's "The Juggling Girl" while
the final number was Debussy's de-
the story Of which Mr.. Maier related
Such program is both unusual and
delightful, and played as we'll as it
was by Mr.. Maier, it deserved q far
larger number of hearers. Mr.. Maier
has something to give ahd he knows
how to give it.
