Art of Fugue'
High Lights
Concert
Roth Quartet
Fulflls Bach's
Ambition.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

T HE first of three concerts by the
Roth Quartet under the Eliza
beth -Sprague Coolidge Foun-
4 datlon took place last evening
at the Library of Congress. The main
novelty OF these three concerts Is the
performance of Bach's Art of the
Fugue." as arranged for string QUAR-
tet by Roy Harris and NJ. D. Herter
Norton. The first five parts We're
played last evening. the program fur
ther including Quincy Porter's Quar-
tet No. A. and Mozart's Quartet No.
IA in G., XIV. No. 387" The remain
ing portions of the Art of the Fugue"
VIII be given tonight at 9 o'clock and
tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Norton have
done what the composer intended
sometime to do, when they arranged
the sections of the fugues for string
quartet. Bach died before he could
execute this plan, in fact, before he
had finished all that he wished to do
with this monumental work, which
was his last. Careless handling of his
manuscripts after his death resulted
in much confusion as to what belong
in this collection and its first printing
was a mixture of the finished article
and odd bits of experimental writing
NO ONE but genius such as Bach
was would ever have attempted
to write Is tugues and 4 canons on
the same theme. All of the musical
experience of his long life and all the
fertility OF his great talent was con-
centrated in this final musical express
sion which had as its incentive the
desire to leave so many beautiful
examples Of fugue writing as an in
spiration to coming musicians. AL
though written for the klavier, Bach
hoped to transcribe these groups for
organ and string ensemble. The pres
ent arrangers have taken IA of the
number and placed them in three
groups.
The tranSference of the scores to
string quartet broadens the effects by
the power of the differently toned in
struments. The work gains also in
warmth and emotional expression.
while the scheme Of Bach's writing is
clarified to a greater degree The first
group is in the simpler forms Of con-
trapuntal composition. yet the ex-
traordinary inventiveness Of the COM
poser is heard Immediately. The great
hn of na &c hn
genuineness of the musical inspira-
ton which transcends the clever ma
of form.
The Interpretation of the Roth
Quartet last evening was in this vein
and by it the innate beauty Of this
composition, which long had been con-
sidered theoretical creation, was
revealed to its fullest extent The
splendid unity Of this ensemble wove

A. F. /. Head Is Opposed
to Compromise Offered
by Mrs. Norton.
BY the Associated Press.

6y Inc AsSoc1etSo FIekS.
William Green. president Of the
American Federation Of Labor. turned
thumbs down today on . compromise
wage-hour bill which House Labor
Subcommittee II studying.
Mr.. Green said he would object to
administration Of . proposed sliding
scale Of wage and hour standards by
the Labor Department.
The federation's own bill provides
for 40-hour week and 40 cents-an-
hour minimum pay, enforced by the
Justice Department.
Our trade unions would police it.,
don't you worry about that" Mr..
Green said. They would be in
structed to report any violations to
United States district attorneys"
Suggested by Mrs. Norton.
The compromise. suggested by
Chairman Norton, Democrat, of New
jersey. of the House Labor Commit
tee, would fix minimum wages at 80
cents an hour and maximum hours at
A. week for the first year of its
operation. In the second year the
levels would be IS cents and ~ hours
and thereafter they would be 40 cents
and 40 hours.
Some members Of the House Rules
Committee, while reserving definite
predictions until the new bill is
drafted. said the committee would
never approve ANY wage-hour bill. I"
Some others predicted, however. the
compromise might gain the favor Of
that group.
Blocked Year Ago.
Republicans and Southern members
blocked consideration of wage-l1our
legislation q year ago. and sponsors
had to resort to a petition to get the
bill to the House floor last December
The House wound up by sending the
measure back to the Labor Committee
Mrs. Norton said recently she would
not invoke the petition method on
any new bill.

committee. What will happen then.
I don't know. think we will have a
bill ready for the House by April /.
