stressed the importance of each

a better understanding and thus be
able to place their own ideas and
sympathies.
Mr.. Powell handled the subject

learned from one who had been a

DIR. Simon Closes
Lectures on Chopin

DR.. H. Simon presented the last
OF three lectures on Frederic Chopin
last evening at the Washington Col
lege of Music.
The principal work heard was
played by Marcel Anchors, we'll
known cellist of the new Music
Guild Quartet, and DR.. Simon. The
sonata for this instrument was the
last published work of Chopin and
belongs to the year 1847, its opus,
No. g. Rarely played, perhaps be-
cause 1t is an expression differing
from many of the composers other
works, its neglect is also probably
due to the public's dislike of finding
an accepted genius sometimes diff
ferent and being unwilling to con-
cede the charm and interest in this
difference they are not receptive to
its beauty. Quoting from and TAX
ing issue with an excellent biogra-
pher, Niecks, DR.. Simon was of the
opinion that this authority had
erred, as did many others, in dispar-
agement of this work.
Mr.. Anchors playing was in such
excellent style and such sympathetic
understanding as to carry over to
his hearers the beauty of the va
rious movements intact.
DR.. Simon has in these lectures
used the Mazurkas as biographical
illustrations of various phases Of
Chopin's life. First, as the home
sick patriot whose muse was moved
to expression by intense love of his
homeland. Chopin's suffering paral-
lels that of present-day countrymen
and he expresses the nostalgia Of
the political exile in measures of
poignant beauty. To those who
know the Mazurkas only as vigorous
dances, DR.. Simon's presentation
was new experience. In his dis
cussion of Chopin as man of the
world there was a choice of those
opus numbers characterized by a
certain elegance and gaiety which
nevertheless retained the melan-
choly of the sensitive Polish nature
so often bruised by oppression. DR..
Simon also enlisted the artistry Of
Frances Nash in the playing of the
Rondo for two pianos, an early
work but one already typical of that
innate taste of the true aristocrat
which found further expression as
this poet of the piano grew in
stature.
The transmutation of his personal
affections into the sublimity of his
music was typified in certain of the
Nocturne excerpts carrying the idea
that imagination surpasses realiza-
ton. Thus might be understood
that Chopin's personal contacts
were those of the shy soul who told
in his music more of love as a mar
velous spiritual and intellectual
companionship than can be re-
counted factually by his biogra-
pliers. DR.. Simon pointed out that
he sought through his music an
escape from the burden of the cruel
continuity of time in this life and
approached thereby an eternity

though beginning rather languidly,
the pace quickened as the singers
got into their roles and continued
to the end. Costuming and scenery
were adequate. and for once there
was no feeling of incongruity by
having opera on the Constitution

where time is no longer measurable.
The lecture closed with the playing
of the last and posthumously pub
lished Mazurka in F minor, where
in the composer returns in these few
measures to his first symbolism of
his homeland in delicate ephemeral
sounds which seem already to be-
long to another world. S. A.
