The Winters concerts at the Lii
brary have brought many excellent
ensemble organizations who have
given superlative exhibitions Of quar-
tet playing, but the Manhattan Quar-
tet has gone a step further by DEM
onstrating how much more interesting
the Interpretation becomes when
played without reading from the mu-
sic score. It is a formidable feat OF
memory to attempt three quartets
without any refuge should slip oc-
cur, and it is quite understandable
that many players would not risk it
no matter how good their musician
ship. But in the ensemble Of the
Manhattan four instrumentalists one
instantly had the feeling of absolute
surety, while the freedom and elastic
ity of thought which the absence OF
printed music gave them took on the
interesting color Of a soloist's per-
Torrance.
The unity of idea, the careful fitting
in of one instrument to another and
the poetic feeling gained immeasura-
bly, through the concentration which

this manner of playing permitted.
This was especially evident in the
Haydn Quartet" given with great
delicacy and charm. The young men
are equally fine musicians, although
more uniformity of tonal color would
add still more to the perfection Of
their ensemble.
Not so prominent in the Haydn
number, the dramatic and colorful
Smetana Quartet with its gay polka
measures and broad largo movement
missed little of that bigness which
a more sonorous quality of tone can
achieve. From the mechanical stand
point, there was smoothneSs of execu-
ton and dynamic phrasing.
The audience enjoyed the novelty
of the more intimate atmosphere of
this concert and recalled the artists
with enthusiastic acclaim. It is to be
hoped that more chamber music
groups will emulate the example set
by this interesting ensemble, for the
gain in appreciation is decidedly ad-
vantageous to the more complete
understanding of the quartet works of
the great masters.
