gle OF the business life of our great
est city, the figure maintains a
splendid national significance. It's
largeness Of style is in faultless har-
mony with the classic lines of the
building in front of which it stands
and the pedestal on which 1t rests.
Leaving equestrian statues out of
consideration, it is not too much to
say that in the long line of our
portrait statues of Washington
works in which sculptors of at least
four countries have expressed them
selves-the Washington of the Sub
treasury remains the fitting type of
exemplar."
This is high praise from one who
is so wise concerning sculpture and
so inherently sensitive to that which
Is best in all art 1t is gratifying to
know what Mrs. Adams remarks
concerning the fitness of the back
ground provided for the original by
the Subtreasury Building, New York
should equally apply to that which
it will find here in Washington in
the west facade of the Capitol Not
always does a work of art find such
fitting placement.
The Garfield Monument, which is
at the foot of Capitol Hill, bit be-
yond the memorial of Grant, is
dated 1887, two or three years before
the sculptor produced his seated
figure of Horace Greeley and the
standing figure of Henry Ward
Beecher, both among his most no.
table achievements. Garfield is rep
resented standing, in the act of
making a speech, and at the foot of
the pedestal are three allegorical
figures, the Student, the Warrior
and the Statesman, purposed to rep
resent phases of the martyred Pres
idents life. 1t is always difficult to
combine successfully fact and al
legory and the chances are that the
majority who see this monument
fail to realize the significance of the
subsidiary figures, two of which were
originally modelled in the nude and
later clothed to satisfy convention;
but the composition as whole is
we'll balanced and handsome. What
ever work Ward undertook he digni-
fled. In this instance, curiously
enough, he is said to have been
handicapped by the good looks of his
subject, Garfield having been an
exceptionally handsome man, and
for this reason, difficult to char
acterize. To quote Mrs. Adams
again: unlike the Greeks we value
individuality above beauty" But OF
course there can be beauty with in
dividuality. However. compared
with the Thomas and the Washing
ton. the Garfield leaves one rather
cold.
Among lesser works by this gifted
sculptor here in Washington are a
figure Of Poetry in the Library OF
Congress, and a portrait in marble
of w. w. Corcoran, now in the Cor
coran Gallery of Art.

Music Here
By Budapest
String Group
Long Series Planned
In New Whittall
Concerts

| The Gertrude Clarke Whittall
Foundation of the Library Of Con-
/ gress announces the Inauguration of
new policy in the presentation Of
the series of chamber music concerts
under its auspices The Budapest
String Quartet has been engaged for
| two periods, the first being from
August 3 to September % and the
second from March to May. 194l
The change has been decided upon
! in order to allow the artists to be-
come thoroughly familiar with the
Stradivari instruments and Tourte
bows that were gift from Mrs
Whittall to the Library. In past
seasons the various ensemble groups
enjoyed only short practice periods
on the instruments. The members
of the Budapest Quartet will reside
in Washington for the six months
OF their engagement and by daily
practice and frequent public ap-
pearanceS gain in proficiency in ham
ding the valuable instruments with
both being heard to better advantage
than was formerly possible.
When Mrs. Whittall presented to
the Library of Congress her mag
niflcent collection of Stradivari in
strumentS and Tourte bows, it was
her desire that these instruments be
used rather than remain perma-
NJ f1tv Jro oil
pieces. To this end she subsequently,
created in the Library the Gertrude
Clarke Whittall Foundation with a
generous endowment. The income
from this endowment has been de-
voted mainly to the presentation of
concerts in which some of the
country's finest quarters have been
heard performing on these Stradi-
vari Instruments
The first series of public per-
formances under this new arrange
ment will consist of nine radio
broaocasts from the Coolidge Audi
torium in the Library of Congress.
These broadcasts will be heard over
the red network of the National
Broadcasting Co. beginning Satur-
day afternoon, August 3, and on
every Saturday afternoon thereafter
through September %. The time OF
the broadcasts will be 3 to pm.
tE. S. t.. The programs will con-
sists OF works by both American and
foreign composers of the classic and
romantic periods. The first will be
made up by the Quartet in F Major.
K. " 500" by Mozart; Two Sketches
for String Quartet" by Critics, and
the Quartet in F Minor, Opus 95,"
by Beethoven.
Residents of Washington and
vicinity may attend these broad
casts which for them will be ex-
tended to full length concert by
the addition of a Haydn Quartet to
be played before the broadcast at
2:30 pm. Tickets for these per-
formances will be distributed in the
usual manner at the symphony box
Office in the Homer L. Kilt store
where a service charge of Is cents
per ticket will be collected. Dis
tribution of the tickets will begin
tomorrow at $3.50 a m. Those who
wish to hear the Haydn Quartet
should take special note of the
starting time, 2:30 pm, one halt
hour before the broadcast begins.
Because of the broadcast, the doors
to the Coolidge Auditorium will re-
main closed from 2.55 pm. to 4 pm.

Review of Recordings
BY Alice Eversman.

The confidence of Brahms in the
worth of his first concerto for piano
and orchestra, in spite of the more
than cool reception it received al
the premiere. has been justified by
the passage of time. When a natural
distaste for the apparent harshness
of its outline is overcome no true
musician but would acclaim it
master work. The Victor Co is
aiding in a more intimate compre-
hension of its beauty by a release
this month of the concerto played
by that superb artist, Artur Selma
bel, with the assistance of the Lon
don Philharmonic Orchestra di-
rected by Georg Sell.
| Since recent writings have &C
! quainted the world more fully with
the life story of Brahms and his
close friends, the Schumann's, the
strong feeling that was the impetus
of the creation of his first concerto
will be understood with particular
| sympathy. The horror of Schu-
mann'S attempt at suicide and the
tragic suffering for all concerned
that followed it, found release for
Brahms in the composition of the
concerto. So dear to MS heart was
this friend who had championed
him when he was still unknown to
fame that the depths of his nature
were stirred. 1t was not a stirring
that brought forth his lovely songs,
but one that reached to the strong,
stern qualities of his character
which stood so strangely side by
side with his poetic inclination.
In this mood he wrote the con-
certo when not yet 26 years Of age
and believed in it even when its

first two performances were re-
ceived with faint applause and
much kissing. Both times the COM
poser was the soloist and at the
first performance another member
of that famous circle Of friends,
Joseph Joachim. was the conductor.
In spite of all the artistry that
these two greatly gifted men
brought to its Interpretation, the
concerto failed to please the public.
Even today it is not prime favorite
in the concert pianist's repertoire.
In Mr. Schnable's Interpretation
the manifold beauties of this con-
certo are poignantly revealed. The
intense grief expressed IN the first
movement is brought out in all its
austere and rebellious strength,
while the lovely second movement.
full of sad tenderness, is depicted
with deep sympathy. While the
virtuoso demands of the concerto
are considerable, Mr. Schnable
makes them part of his interpretive
plan rather than mere moments
to display his superb technique
Knowing the background of the
concerto and with an artist such
as Mr.. Schnable reproducing its
highly emotional content, the full
appeal of this great work is plainly
felt.
In the tutti and the accompani-
ment to the pianist's difficult score
Mr.. Sell holds up his end of the
polished performance with a skillful
adjustment of the sonorous tone of
the London Philharmonic Orches-
ira. This recording will serve as
further and, in many ways, unusual
revelation of the tremendous scope
of Brah MS genius.
