HAROLD BAUER PROVES| RIGHT TO BE RANKED AS MASTER PIANIST
Gives Admirable Exhibition of Skill in Concert at the
 Jefferson Theatre
Harold Bauer came to Birmingham

Harold Bauer came to Birmingham little doubt of his ability to control the piano after appearing In concert Thursday night at the Jefferson theatre under the auspices of the Music Study club. His playing Is perfect in every detail of mechanical manipulation. every tone being fault lessly produced. The audience showed it's appreciation by generous applause after every number.
 MT. Bauer has the same unfortun- ate quality possessed by Jascha Hell fitz, violinist, who appeared here earlier in the year. He is exceed ingly reserved and impersonal. But he is master of his instrument to such a degree that this impersonal quality can almost be overlooked
 He plays with precision. virility and accuracy. He has light and delicate touch for the thrills and rapid runs In the treble, and the power needed to produce the crash ing chords in the lower register. His careful accenting, dextrous lingering and coordination of muscle and mind are attainments acquired only after long study and practice, setting an admirable example to the Imany students present.
 MT. Bauer's first number was ad- mirable for a demonstration of his technical perfection-Bach's "Partita in B flat as transcribed from the harpschord by Mir Bauer.
 Beethoven's beautiful Sonata Ap- passionate" was probably MT. Bauer's best number from a concert stand point and also as a vehicle for his interpretative powers. All three movements, the Allegro Assai, Allegro" finale. were thoroughly en- joyed. This number received more applause than any other.
 Numbers admirable for work with students featured the second half of MT. Bauer's program. His two en- cores, Chopin's Waltz and Barberini's '.Minuet," were well chosen and well received. Saint-Saens "Etude en forme de valse" was the most at tractive of the last group.
 Schumann's "Papillens" was per fectly rendered, affording the pianist opportunity to reveal new accom- plishments Chopin's "Scherzo in ( minor" was effectively presented Liszt's "Etude in D flat" and Schu- bert's 'Impromptu in A flat" gave further evidence of MT. Bauer's skill and afforded delight to his hearers.
 Mir Bauer is an admirable type to appear before the audience for whom he played Thursday night. The many students present should be in- spired to new heights by his demon- stration of what patient effort can accomplish. The Music Study club is serving good cause when It brings such a talented musician to Birmingham.-H. W. $.
