THIBAUD-CoRToT RECITAL
French Artists Play 8 Violin sonatas
by Composers of Their Own Nation

French .interpretative art at its best,
in the persons of Jacques Thibaud,
vioinist, and the greatest French plan
list Of his day, Alfred Cortot, was the
feature of the sixth meeting OF the
Chamber Music Association at the
Bellevue yesterday afternoon.
The three sonatas played were all the
product of French composers, and at
least two Of them were new to the
great majority of the audience.
The recital opened with the Faure
sonata. op., 13, a comparatively youthful
work and one Which did not make any
especial impression, except for its ex-
treme difficulty, the octave work in the
violin rescmb ing concerto work far
more closely than the average sonata
does. The third movement (scherzo)
was decidedly the best of the four move
ments and gave Mr.. .Cortot an un-
usual opportunity for the exhibition OF
the fauitless technique and the beauti-
fully crisp tone which he possesses both
in loud and soft passages.
