 A s.l5 sharp Miss Soha3e began . piGuant address upon the life Of Beethoven. emphasizing hls unusual personality, his trials and his trlbu- larionS, culnInaiur in the loss Of tariug quite early in life, which 10 him was such a tragedy that he at one tim. contemplated suicide.

In the hands of loss artistically inclined trio of players it might have sounded far from fetching, but the suaye bows on the strings and the unobtrusiye pcrcus- sion of the piano yielded most notable portrayal of this carly work of the tone poet.
 Of the sonata presented no words can add or detract to its worldwide appeal. The grave, pondorous intro duction. the strength and original ity Of the chief themes.
