LEVITZKI CONCERT
ONE OF THE FINEST
EVER HEARD IN CITY
Exquisite Expression Shown
By The Artist In Last
Nights Recital

The second concert given under the
auspices of the Community Music
club, Wednesday evening, was great
success, both in the capacity attend
ance and the enthusiasm aroused by
the great pianist, Mischa Levitzki.
The New York World says of this
artist: "You may count such artists
on the fingers of one hand and have
several digits to spare" In the light
of theVfact that there are many pian-
lists before the public just now who
are admitted to the class of the su-
premely gifted, this seems excessive
praise.
However, those who heard Levitt.
Xxi were so carried away with the
superior artistry and magnetic soul of
the man that no one cared whether
he was first or third or fifth among
the world of pianists. All we knew
was that we were being lifted out of
petty criticism of the artist into q
world of supreme music, which no
critic is fit to judge for it is beyond
expression or judgment.
Slowly, the classical music of the
first group reached the hearts of the
hearers; then, as the program ad-
vanced in power and passion and
numbers were played that were some
what familiar, the audience was
aroused to degree of enthusiasm
seldom seen in Mt. Vernon.
The exquisite expression shown in
the "Gavotte" and the dazzling skill
and beautiful tones of the Arabesques
on the theme of the Blue Danube will
not soon be forgotten.
Levitzki has magnetic personality
together with the mysterious Russian
musical temperament. He has the
passion Of youth, the powerful ap-
peal Of genius and spiritual feeling,
and withal, the poise of master mu-
sician. The marvellous variety of his
moods and passions are expressed
through dazzling technique which
is attained only by the few. LEVITT
XII is gifted socially and shows bal
ance of character that only adds to
the charm of his unique musical gen.
ius
Mt. Vernon has heard the best and
evidently appreciated this master.
