that familiar one), but greater heed
than marked tie concerts of last

incidentally to serve what they con-

last night when the piece was per-

of Mr. Felix Salmond, and English

naturally led to the selection of

Lhavinne met this requirement, and,
what was better, an insight into its

The quintet by Roger Is less erratic
