Festival of
Pianos Sets
Music Pace
Program by 600 Players
Presents Miracle of
Organization.
BY JAMES THRAsHER

The 125-piano festival must be
dealt with in superlatives: This
"grandest" grand piano show in his
tory, the most pretentious of the
country's many celebrations of Ma
tional Week, the largest crowd that
ever attended concert in Indian
apoliS, and so on.
More than 10000 people were in
the Butler FieldhouSe for the OPEN
ing performance yesterday after
noon, while newsreel cameras ground
away and the country heard the
pianiStS on an NBC network broad
cast. 1t was colorful, dramatic
spectacle, and deserving musical
accomplishment as well.
First of all. the performances we're
miracle of organization. With
swift assurance, 900 players made
their entrances and exits and, what
is more important. played their
notes without noticeable hitch.
To Frank o. viking, who di-
rected the entire program. goes
credit for evoking a coherent mu-
steal performance from what neces.
sarily was cumbersome ensemble.
Yesterdays concerts were the clA
max of many weeks of almost daily
rehearsals here and throughout
the state, which Mr.. viking con-
Quoted.
Contrast Always Present
Mr.. Viking presided over the
several groups with forceful initia-
tive and baton technique of great
clarity. 1t would have been enough
OF a task to keep the players to-
gether, but dynamic contrast always
was present, and in the groups of
more mature pianists, considerable
niceties of Interpretation as well.
This was particularly true of the 25
artist" pianists' playing of the
ArenSky Suite.
-Four groups of players were heard
in special arrangements by Burton
B. BUrkette: Children of 1912
years; Junior and senior high school
students and adults. In addition to
playing the Arensky suite, the 25
artists performed with each group.
An added feature was the ex-
cellent singing by the combined
choirs of Butler University and
the Arthur Jordan Conservatory
Of Music under Prof. Donald G.
Gilley of Dear Land of Home"
arranged from Sibelius' "Finlandia":
Nevin's arrangement of II Dream of
Jeanne" by Foster; Though the Last
Glimpse of Erin" by Clarence
Loomis, and Nov the Vesper Hymn
Is Stealing"
The musical significance of the
125-piano festival goes beyond the
performances Of yesterday. An i'm
mediate effect will be the benefits
derived from the receipts, which be-
come part of the scholarship and
student loan funds of Sigma Alpha
Iota, the national professional mu-
sic sorority whose Zeta chapter in
indianapolis sponsored the event.
The young players who particle
pated yesterday have learned nee
essary and valuable lesson in pre-
cision, attention and ensemble
playing. Their interest in music,
and that of other children, surely
must have been stimulated by this
experience.
