This answer lodges the whole issue.
The American Ambassador at Toxic,

An undertaking given by the Japa-

only q relative value.

The opening concert Of the
eighth festival Of chamber music
was given last night at the Library
of Congress Auditorium by the
Coolidge Quartet, Alice Ehlers,
harpsichord, and Leonard B.
Smith, trumpet.
The program was designated as
consisting Of baroque music and
was drawn mostly from the works
of seventeenth century and early
eighteenth century composers. The
Purcell trumpet sonata, with
strings and harpsichord accom-
panying, proved to be q delectable
morsel, but the trumpet solo was
often conspicuous for its absence.
It was probably written on the
theory that a trumpet players lip
could stand only short leads.
The greatest center Of interest
for the evening seemed to rest
upon the work Of Miss Ehlers at
the harpSichord. Music written
for this instrument is kept in con-
tinual motion because of the lack
Of dynamo power and a perform
err must use an agile technique in
keeping up the sparkling flow Of
elfin.like tones that come from it.
