HEARERS CAPTIVATED
BY SEIDEL'S PLAYING
Vioiinist's Marvellous Technique
and Tonal Excellence Fully
Revealed in Concert Here.

An unusually pleasing program was
given last night at Central High
School by Toscha Seidel. violinist, as
one OF the series of recitals of the
students Concert Course"
Seidel is possessed OF a marvellous
technique which gives the most diff
cult passages the semblance OF sim
iolicity, and he draws from his instru-
1nent tones of richness and purity
that leave little to be desired. Only
once during his program did his tone
seem to fall short, that being in the
last movement OF a Suite" by Sind
ing. In attaining the gusto the move
nlent requires he allowed his tone to
become a bit hard and raucous, but
the memory Of this faded before the
excellence of his playing of the 9TH
crs of his numbers.
He opened with the beautiful Mo-
1art Concerto in z Flat and fol-
lowed with the Sinding Suite The
1dagio movement of the last was most
pleasing, although the presto had a
rhythm that stirred his auditors
For third group he opened with
"Arioso" of Bach. which contains one
OF the too scarce melodic gems of this
master. The second number was
iuer's arrangement of Schumanns
'Fogel ais Prophet" which was re-
tlete with the beautiful calls OF birds.
2s though the feathered inhabi ants
Of the woods were gathered in con-
"ention. "Rondino' of Beethoy ar
ranged By Kreisler, followed, and its
gay, lifting strains proved perhaps
the most pleasing bit on the program
and in response to insistent calls
from the audience, Seidel repeated It.
The fourth and last of this group was
,~tuerS arrangement Of Reethoven's
Turkish March," which was filled
With the romance of the orient He
responded to a demand for an encore
His last group, GYPSY Airs" of
sarasate was as deep in feeling as it
was unexpected. In particular, the

spairing cries of two who loved. but
vainly. Portamentos beautifully done.
portrayed the sobbing of the unfor-
tunate pair and the mournful strains
we're often broken by fiery passage
as il in protest against their lot. The
group. which was played without a
pause. ended with :. gay, abandoned
dance. The audience. loath to leave
called again and again for Seidel IN
til he responded. repeating the Turk
'sh March, and as they still re-
NAMED applauding, he returned once
more and played the "Rondino" again
If the audience lacked somewhat in
size it more than made 1t up in en-
