1t is impossible to conceive of high
er mastery of the violin than the
twenty-five year old genius exhibits.
His technique, it has been said. must
make him the despair of all other vio-
linists' and his playing is effortless.
eNquisitely perfect and seemingly in
spired. Heifetz has set new standards
of viclin playing and established new
-raditions. In his program yesterday
ne played Caprice No. "a of Nicolo
Paganini the Italian genius who be-
fore his death in 1870 astounded the
musical world with feats which We're
attributed to trickery and whose
music few artists have ever attempted.
Where flaws have been cited in the
playing of Fritz Kreisler and Mischa
Elman. other living violin masters,
severest critics have called the are of
Heifetz perfect
The player opened with the Handel
sonata No. 4 in D Major which was
beautifully interpreted. The Wien |
iawski concerto in d Minor followed |
and was magnificent.
The third group included a large
variety of pieces. A minuet by Mozart |
and nocturne in u major from |
Chopin We're especially exquisite; The !
Beethoven Chorus of Dervishes and |
the March Orientale brought thun- |
derou applause. Tschaikowsky's |
melancholy "Antante Cantabile' was
one of the treats of this group. The
Caprice of Paganini was an exhibition
piece giving Mr.. Heifetz a splendid op-
portunity to display his technic.
Jascha Heifetz appeared in Walla
walla through the efforts of Miss Ma
len Burnett who is well known in PEN
dleton.
