YOUNG PIANIST HAILED
IN BRILLIANT CONCERT
11-Year-Old Lester Taylor Shows
Astonishing Maturity in
Interesting Program.

In a program designed to bring out
every evidence of pianistic talent, Les
ter Taylor, 11-year-old pianist made
his debut last evening at Barker Hall.
The youthful player from Troy, N. Y,
was presented by his teacher, Thelma
Stein, with whom he is passing the
Winter before good-sized audience,
which by its enthusiastic reception,
received his performance in a manner
befitting his mature presentation.
For as far as his physical development
will permit the young boy showed as
tonishing maturity in everything he
| esSayed
He is rarely gifted, combining in
nate musicianship with well-developed
technical facility and an intelligent
approach to his music. His tone is
mellow and expressive and his fingers
strong and feet. There is as yet a
lack OF brilliancy and smoothness in
passage work and of sustained power
IN more dramatic moments, but this
Is something time will remedy. For
the more subtle elements, such as ap-
| probation of nuance and balance of
eHects, he has an understanding which
comes from within and which Is al
ready guided by mind and feeling
working together.
Again one must lay to his youth the
reason why some of his interpreta.
tlons yesterday fell short of others. In
the graceful evolutions of Mozart's
sonata In A Major" and Petri's ar.
rangement of Bach's Three Menuets"
ne was IN sympathetic milieu. The
variations OF the andante grazioso were
clearly expressed with intelligent re-
gard for their individuality and the
menuetto and rondo delicately given
with the proper amount of gusto for
the finale. In Rachmaninoffs pre-
lude IN G Sharp Minor" he was again
at his best, portraying the character
OF the composition with crisp accents
and with all the sorority of which he
was capable
Chopin's Waltz and "Fantasie-
1mpromptu" held suavity and mel
lowness and were technically sound.
But in these his musical insight did
not quite grasp the reason behind the
nice gradations of color which he
achieved. But once more this is un-
derstandable and will be changed with
time. AS concluding number he
played the first movement of the
Concerto in c Minor" by Beethoven,
with Miss Stein at the second piano,
with the poise and assurance of a
virtuoso. He was positive in his en-
frances, expansive in his dynamic ef-
fects and thoroughly imbued with
reverence for the work.
Master Taylor has all the attributes
OF real artist and his future lies
bright before him. He is furthermore
fortunate In possessing a winning per-
sonality and with the solid founda-
ton he already has attained and the
rich musical feeling Of his nature he
can attain great heights. It will be
interesting to follow his future de-
velopment. A.E.
