Phil. Orchestra Yolanda Nero.

Yolanda Nero, the brilliant Hunga-
ran pianist, presenting List and
Wagner compositions, will be the So
loist for the second concert of the
Philadelphia Orchestra's Washington
series, at the New National Theater,
Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
According to the critics, Nine. Nero
seems to be one of those rare women
whose playing is marked not only by
the delicacy and refinement of her Sex,
but also by an enormous power and
strength which she can summon TO
her service at will.
Conductor Stokowski will present
the following program: Prelude to
"Lohengrin" (Wagner). Concerto in A
Major, for piano and orchestra
(LiszD, Nine. Nero: Prelude, "a
iapres-midi dun faune" CDubussyD !;
five orchestra pieces tSchoenberg) and
Tone Poem, .Finlandia" (Sibelius).
1t will be noted that this program
includes the Schoenberg music, which
amazed Philadelph4. amused New
York, and was hissed at some of its
performances. Stokowskrs persistent
presentation of it is, doubtless, for
some commendable purpose.

mony and composition, besides the

aminer didn't accept me. but he sent
me to London with recommendations.
and not long afterward I was off to
Italy.

canto mill. which. after all. is the
one and only gateway to singing. My
advice to singers is to work hard at
legato singing in the old operas
''The Barber Of Sevilla," for instance.
1t may be tedious, but learn to sing
the old music with the right evenness
and coloring, and then you can en-
bark on the newest music you like.
Italian is the only language for
Italian music, according to Mr.. Burke.
