Coincidence Permits SoIoist
To Play Before JuIiono
Sziqeti Recalls
Concert in Hollund
On Her Birthduy

Flags were unfurled and bells
rang the day Joseph Szigeti, violin
soloist appearing with the National
Symphony Orchestra tonight, made
his debut in the Netherlands.
The occasion for nationwide cele-
bration was not Mr.. Szigeti's ap-
pearance in Holland but marked the
birth of Princess Juliana. who will
be the guest Of Mrs. Roosevelt at
tonight's concert.
Little did l realize that years
later I would have the pleasure of
playing before her in your country"
the Hungarian artist said. Once
again-five years ago-he performed
before the Dutch royal family in
The Hague. Both Princess Juliana
and her mother, Queen Wilhelmina,
were present, he recalls,
The Hague, Paris, Budapest,
Rome, as they appear in the war
headlines today, have only one
meaning to the artist who made his
musical debut at the age of IS.

kept it throughout, ably seconded
by Mr.. King, who disclosed q real
talent for directing. DR.. Hetzel gave
it a dynamic reading with special
emphasis on each poetic moment
and one which took advantage Of
the many opportunities which the
composition offers for dazzling pian-
istic display. His trills are brilliant
and he is master Of rich volume
when necessary. The whole per-
formance was full of vitality and
the audience was quick to respond
with an ovation for the conductor
soloist at the conclusion.
The concert was a memorial to
Bailey F. Alart, who founded this
orchestra of men and women who
play because they enjoy it and whose
library was bequeathed to the asso-
citation. The second part of the
program featured the Tschaikowsky
Symphonic Pathetique," played
after the short "Plaisir d'Amour,"
by Martini.

1nformality Adds
To Milhaud Work
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

A spirit of informality prevailed
last night at the Carlton Hotel at
the third concert given by the
Chamber Music Guild String Quar-
tet, the members of which are Frank
Gittelson and Alexander Levin, vio-
Inns; Benjamin Sosner, viola, and
Marcel Ancher, cello.
1t was that absence of the re-
straint which often is responsible
for barrier between the artist and
his audience that helped to put the
novelty of the evening-one of Mil
haud's string quartets-in the best
light.
Although d'Indy once said that
the "French-Six," to which belonged
Milhaud, his student, Lacked origi-
nality and that the holes in their
compositions were covered up with
noise" one could not quite agree
with him in regard to the work pre-
sented. A definite melodic line ran
throughout the entire work, assigned
to the first violin, the other instru-
ments being used to supply the
necessary color Mr.. Gittelson, upon
whose shoulders rested the respon-
sibility for the many subtleties and
changes of tempt, succeeded well in
reconciling the variety of dissonance
into a comprehensive whole. He
was ably seconded by the rest of the
players.
After a sturdy beginning, the
composition drifted into a lullaby
like section played con sordino. It
was the most beautiful movement of
the four, enhanced by the delivery,
as it is in the delicate passages that
the group excels. The serious trend
of Grave soutenu" of the third part,
working up to passionate climax
and ending on note throbbing
with emotion, found its counterpart
in the many charming bits in the
fourth. interviewer into a rhythmi-
cal pattern, this movement requires
the use of a sweeping. hammered
stroke of the bow, which, unless
great care is exercised by the player,
may easily become sharp and un-
pleasant to the ear. While one of
the abused violins occasionally pro-
tested. there was enough musical
quality in the tone to Offset the i'm
preston. The audience, which filled
the hall to capacity, recalled the
artists several times. Beethoven's
Quartet, Op. 18, No. 4, in c Minor"
played in the first part Of the pro-
gram, met with equal success.

Color Music
Brilliantly
Interpreted
Hazel Harrison
Performs Laszlo's
Impressions
By ALICE EVERSMAN,

Hazel Harrison, playing a program
Of piano selections at Howard Uni
versity last evening, made known
Alexander Laszlo's "Color impress
sions" in brilliant reading of this
intricate work. The composer has
tried as several have done before
him, to express color in tone and
the work played last evening is the
result of 16 years of experimental
tion.
The seven divisions. as explained
In the program, were blue, violet.
red, white, sea green, gray and
black. Given the clue, it is possible
to associate the music with the
color and to find it really descrip-
tive yet, with the exception of red
and white, it is doubtful If the
thought of color would come into
the mind with the fullness of idea
that Mr.. Laszlo intended.
Purely as music, it is an extremely
interesting and effective number
somewhat in the etude style which
reflects an expert craftsmanship in
its fashioning. The composer has
captured moods with great success
and found highly expressive
harmonic medium which is a mix
ture of the old and the new in COM
position. 1t was given a scintillat-
ing and understanding interpreta-
ton by the artist.
Miss Harrison has pianistic
delivery of the grand school, with
an accompanying sparkle and f1uency
in her technique. Her tone is large
and full and can be utilized in broad
and minute effects with equal felic-
ity and ease. BY the very nature
of her training. she is at home in
various styles. This proficiency has
perhaps been more the end toward
which she strives than the more
subtle one of discovering the deepest
sentiment in the work. Aside from
this, her playing was commanding
and revealed musical personality
of great talent.
Her program further included the
List variations on a Theme by
Bach" Chopin's Etudes in G Major,
G Sharp Minor and c Minor, the
Chopin-Liszt "Nocturne," LISTS
etudes, will O. the Wisp" and
''Mazeppa":: Schumann's "Toccata,"
Brahms "Intermezzo in B Flat
Minor" and "Rhapsodie in E Flat
Major" and Balakirew's Oriental
Fantasie"
Cries Of Bravo" punctured the
vociferous applause that followed
the playing Of each number and
several large baskets of flowers given
the artist attested the esteem in
which she Is held by her admirers.
: The high light of the program
presented by the Washington Civic
Orchestra last evening at Central
High School was the performance
of the Liszt Concerto No. l." by DR..
Kurt Hetzel, conductor of the Or
chestra, who was also its soloist on
this occasion. Having directed the
groups playing of Beethoven's
'Egmont" overture, DR.. Hetzel
turned the baton over to Roscoe
King, assistant conductor, ana TOOK
his place at the piano for the Liszt
concerto.
Although the change for both
conductor and orchestra must have
made for some tension, DR.. Hetzel
was able to give the idea that it was
quite customary for the leader to
leave his men and take on the role
of soloist. He established the spirit
of the work from the first notes and
