MUSIC
NEW YORK SYMPHONY CONCERT.

An unusually large audience gath
cred and listened with alertness TO
the program Of the New York Sym
phony Orchestra, under Walter
Darmrosch. yesterday afternoon at
polfs Theater. which marked the
washington debut OF the much
talked about jazz concerto written
by George Gershwin, with the COM
poser at the piano. The super con-
servative classical music that made
up the rest Of the program gave
added contrast to the concerto. There
was the always satisfying music of
beethoVen, IN the overture to
Goethe's "Egmont" as the opening
number. Then came Il remarkable
interesting symphony by Kalmnikow
follower in the footsteps of the
famous Russian five. This work
would bear closer scrutiny and 1t is
to be hoped that some orchestra will
give 1t again soon. There is delicate
about the melodies. The qualities.
combined with the intclligently
worked -out harmonies and disso-
nances. give originel lity and color TO
the symphony. The composition be-
comes increasingly beautiful as it
progresses.
There were also the short but al
ways dainty Moment MuSicar of
Schubert and the Mendelssohn Spin
ming Song" both interpreted with
DR.. Damrosch's usual tasteful shad-
ing for such works.
AS to the famous Concerto in F''-
as its composer said, he really should
not expect a definite criticism after
only one hearing: it should be heard
several times before one could Justly
form definite opinion. This, of
course. is true of nearly every work
The concerto seems to be jazz tanned
down to formal concert hall require
ments. Here and there are unique
and really beautiful moments of mu-
slcal color. The sensuous Charles
ton and foYtrot rhythms are used with
sometimes intriguing and sometimes
monotonous effects. Mr.. Gershwin
plays the glissandoes and flip
pant tripping notes of the piano
part so eXpertly that inter
est never lags while he is performing.

first time here by the club last Spring

considerable atmosphere, not unlke
that of the negro spirituels In gen

played the violin obbligato and Daisy

Miss Jean proved Il versatile and
charming entertainer. Her group OF

excellent style and coloring. Another
