Paul Kochanski Recital.

AnOlner applicant Tor lne SloTS
that is kreiSler's has stepped forward
from among the violinists of Europe
and gives rare promise. if. indeed.
he has not already attained it. OF
eventually reaching the great Aus
trian's plane. Paul kochanski. the
young Polish violinist. who gave a
delightful concert program at the
National Theater yesterday after
noon. is 4 virtuoso of the first rank.
Mr. kocilanski proved his under
standing of human beings as we'll
as OF his instrument. and. after the
first two groups of numbers. in which
his technical skill was particularly
emphasized. te gave compositions
which were more familiar to the ma
jority of his audience and in whlch
tlley could appreciate the strains of
Il familiar friend. as well as the ar
tiSt's Skiilful Interpretation OF 1t. AS
a result he had his entire audience
with him every moment or the re
cital and there We're even shouts OF
bravo toward the end of the pro-

ment the final group listed on The
program. Mr.. kochanski received 4
genuine ovation.
The four movements of the lovely
sonata by Cesar Franck. which is 50
typical in it's moods of tie quality
that is distinctly Cesar Franks. were
given by Mr. Kocnanski in Il spirited
and clear-cur manner. His accom-
panist MIR Walter Goide. is to be
particularly commended, also. upon
his excellent playing of the brilliant
accompaniment to this group. Mr
Goide was Il rarely sympathetic ac-
companist to Mr.. kochanskfs inter-
probation of every number on the
prograul especially OF the first group,
which was undoubtedly the most diff

The second group consisted of three
movements of WieniawSkfS "Concer-
to in d Minor The allegro moderate
and romance selections were delight
full but the bold color of the allegro
moderate a la Zingara was the most
popular of this group. In the next
group Of compositions arranged by
kreisler for the violin Mr.. kochan-
ski allowed more shadings of dra-
matte Interpretation to combine with
his technical skill and gave the well
known numbers d fresh charm. The
group included Rimsky korsakoff's s
Hymn TO the SUM- Dvorak's impish
.Slavonic Dance" and SChubert's $
dreamy. sentimental "Rosamunda" :"
Following this group Mr.. Kochanski
played Kreisler's own "tiitana' with
great feeling and fire. His bold. sure
method Of attack in this composition
was strongly reminiscent of the great
Austrian's own playing Of the selec-
ton. AS an encore to this number the
artist played the Song of India"
making it so delicate that it suggest
ed the orient as seen through a
spaugled veil. There was not the
Sensuousness of some interpretations.
but only the soft yet firm fatalism Of
the east suggested in the number as
played by Mr.. kochanski. 1t did not
have the vivid poignancy of kreis-
ler's Interpretation.
In the fourth and last group on the
program AIR. Kochanski gave his own
arrangement of Tschaikowsky's $
"Chanson Sans Paroles" and lie
Campanella." which proved delight
ful. AS encores to the repeated re-
quests for additional numbers Mr..
Kochanski played the Waltz
Eiennese," which is always associated
with Kreisler in the mind of the mu-
steal public. and the vivacious "Lieb-
esfreud." which, under his fingers.
was full of vivid contrasts OF gayety
and sweetness.
