feeling for all beauty. Not often is this
angle of the great composer so COM
pletely grasped or reproduced as it was
in Petri's playing yesterday. And as
though forming summary Of his own

the program, ran the Gamut of ex-
pressive and polished style.

DR.. Kinder Leads as
Great Works Are
Expertly Played. :,

THE National Symphony Orches-
ira, under the direction Of Hans
Kinder. gave its first students con-
cert yesterday afternoon at Central
High School.
Since the program had for its theme
Melody and Rhythm" and since
rhythm Is the basis of all music. it
naturally commenced with the great
est of all marches, "Marche Militaire," T"
by Schubert. For the melodic side of
music, a selection from Mozart per-
fectly reflected the neat. gentle quality
of the eighteenth century, in which
the music was written.
Then, to illustrate the full powers of
great orchestra, DR.. Kinder played
the first movement from Unfinished
Symphony" of Schubert, characteriZ-
ing it as one of the greatest SYM
phonies ever written.
DR.. Kinder made a little talk on
Listening to Music,'' saying that all
one could do was to like it, then one
knew how to listen to it. The full
house, and the deep attention Of the
children, who ranged from 5 beyond
SIS, told him that his music was liked.
so there was really little he could
say. He emphasized that good music
is not "hieh-brow," but is simple and
easy, and from it can be derived re-
lease from oneself that will always be
of value.
Bach, Mendelssohn and Tschaikov-
sky furnished the remainder OF the
program. All of the pieces chosen
were light and CHEEKY, to prove
to his young audience that good
music was not necessarily a SOL
emn affair. The closing selection was
Wagner's Entrance Of the Gods Into
Valhalla," to show something of the
full heights of great inspiration that

was changed from its first date on
Tuesday to yesterday, on account Of
the stormy passage which delayed his
steamers arrival.
From time to time 1t Is construc-
lively beneficial to hear the standard
works of the musical repertoire played
by an artist. The nuances often be-
come tarnished through the interpre-
tation of less gifted musicians. so that
check-up is needed to keep the ar
tistic idea fresh In mind. Mr.. Petri's
concert yesterday did just that for the
many music lovers who had expressed
a desire to hear, through his inter-
probation, the Bach italian Con-
certo." LISTS Sonata in B Minor"
the "Intermezzi" by Brahms, and the
"Twenty-four Preludes" of Chopin.
II \
MANY an artist would have hesi-
tated before the mental and
physical endurance test which such
a program presented. But for Mr..
Petri, with his superb technical facil-
ity and his great musicianship, it was
evidently a pleasure that could be con-
tinued indefinitely without fatigue.
However, his style Is pre-eminently
suited to a larger hall which would
allow space for his dynamic effects to
resound with clarity, something i'm
possible in the smaller confines of the
the second part Of his program, which
contained the Brahms "Intermezzi"
and the Chopin "Preludes". gave a
more intimate satisfaction than the
two masterpieces which he played in
the beginning.
Both the italian Concerto" and the
List Sonata" have been rarely
played here by visiting artists, and
MIR. Petri's Interpretation yesterday,
rich as 1t was in color and feeling, in
style and understanding. was reward
ing in its disclosure of many and diff
ferent beauties inherent in each of
these master works
Mr.. Petri's technical mastery is on
the same lines as that Of the great
Paderewski, and to its use he brings a
mental conception of phrase and color
that combines details into magnif-
cent whole. Thus the lyricism and
force of the Bach number and the
romance and drama Of Liszt's so
nata" were balanced against each
other with finely proportioned insight.
