Popular Musfr

A new threat to the conga and
rhumba rears its flaming head over
the Southern horizon. It's name is
the samba. And while its earliest
historical origin also traces back to
Africa. somewhere in the course of
evolution its path branched into
Brazil, where, at this writing, it
still rules the dancing public. But
at any time now samba may follow
the trail of all good Latin Amer
ican dance innovations and end up
in Manhattan and points West
probably depending on Arthur Muir
rays receptiveness.
Decca is the first to carry the
samba banner to the Northern Con-
tinent; Maximilian Bergere supplies
the orchestra giving actual voice
to this new thing. Reduced to the
lowest common denominator. the
dance and its music approximates
the conga in spirit and execution.
The samba is not, however, so f1exi-
BILE as the conga. has less of the
juggling qualities that make the lat
ter the neurotic spectacle that has
so increased the national blood
pressure. Mr.. Bergere, in his FIVE
disk set, offers a group of numbers
ideally suited to dancing the Samba,
and that is well. for the man doesn't
exist who could endure such music
without kicking the feet or waving
the arms or doing something vio-
lent.
Another of those "bombshell' peo-
pie basks in the lurid light of Decca's
second benediction to the Latin
dance cause. Diosa Costello appar-
emily has taken over Carmen Miriam
da'S claim to the bombshell dis
tinction. At any rate, she prof.
GENTLY distributes enough shrapnel
over three disks of congas and
rhumbas to make Carmen at least
little jealous. Diosa's vocal meth
cd underscores the physical exer-
tion required to hoof to the conga-
rhumba beat. Her singing is form
of modulated yell, as taut as any
of the drums that Jose Morand's
orchestra employs with such vigor.

Review of Recordings

The tremendous length of the runs
in the first movement pour forth
from a deep toned beginning to
vanishing pianiSsimo under his fin
gers with supreme art. The trills,
chromaic passages and staccatl
have a lift in them that gives a
delicate sparkle to the whole work
against the heavier background Of
the orchestra. The third and final
movement gives him still greater
scope for his style which is always
in spite of its feetness of extraor-
dinary purity. You will enjoy par
ticularly the lovely, poetic exposi-
ton of the second movement with
its faint finale.
Beethoven had trouble getting a
pianist to give his concerto a first
public performance and finally had
to play it himself when it was
scheduled for one of the concerts
in Prince Lobkowitz's home. 1t
had been announced for an earlier
presentation with Beethoven's pu-
pill. Ries, as soloist. The artist had
only five days in which to learn the
work and as he demurred, Beethoven
selected another man who misled
the composer into believing he
would play it. At the last moment
he substituted the c minor con-
certo, giving good cause for Bee
thoven to go into one of his famous
RACES.
The composer wrote two cadenzas
for the finish of the first movement.
The second is used in this recording
played with rare brilliancy and
grace by Mr.. Gieseking. The or
chestra supplements the soloist's
finely drawn Interpretation with
sensitivity.

By Alice Eversman,

Any performance by Walter GieSe-
king is bound to be superlative in
execution and Interpretation. This
month the noted French pianist
can be heard in a recording of
Beethoven's Concerto No. in G.
Major Op. So" accompanied by the
Saxon State Orchestra, Karl Boehm
conducting. The album is one of
the Masterworks series put out by
the Columbia company.
Gieseking possesses the largest
hands among the prominent pianists
OF today and is altogether of robust
statue. From his appearance it
might be supposed that he would
tend toward the highly dramatic
and bravura style in his art. It is
all the more surprising, then. to hear
the extreme delicacy and grace of
his playing in which he excells. Not
many pianists can produce the
fairy-like tone and the swift. bell
like runs that are characteristics of
this greatly gifted artists work.
At no time does Gieseking give
the impression that he has tested
the resistance of his instrument
even in forte passages wherein the
breadth and the depth of his techni-
cal resources are to be evalued. While
these are effective in volume and
force, it is in the more lyric themes
that he charms beyond measure.
His keen feeling for springy light
ness or soft half-spoken (as it were)
tone seems to originate in a parti-
cular sensibility for the more ethe-
real expression Of music.
The concerto gives him every op-
portunity and he makes much of 1t.

William o. Tufts, jr., who recently
resigned as organist of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
will present an organ recital in the
Temple of Religion at the New York
Worlds Fair on Wednesday at 7:30

Rejoice Ye Pure in Heart"
Sowerby; Autumn Noble; "Cathe-
dral Prelude" Clokey; "Toccatina

Storm King" Dickinson.
Mr.. Tufts played a recital in the
First Methodist Church of South
Bend. Ind. on July 7, and at
the present time is on a short trip
in the Middle West, where he is to
play several programs before going
to New York. He will return to
Washington the middle of the

painting is that written by Mr..
Blashfield, and one of those on the
art of painting, entitled The Classic
Point of View is by Kenyon Cox
both dealing with fundamentals.
In chapter in the former, hAving
to do with education in art, Mr..
Blashfield says: There are those
who have said today, The art of
all the past has existed only to show
us what ought not to be done but
between the men who talk and have
accomplished little and the men
who have accomplished marvels-
such as Michelangelo-its should not
be hard to choose" To work vigor-
ously and powerfully, he averred,
was not to give evidence of effort,
but rather to obscure it by knowl-
edge, technical skill and clear under
standing of the desired end-the
ideal.
1t is not to be supposed that the
ideal of perfection found in nature
and in the works of the great mas
ters has been lost today. 1t is still
being pursued. We have merely.
as 1t were, for the moment run up
blind alley, and to justify our er-
ror, temporarily bent the knee to
false gods-poor artistry. ugliness,
vulgarity-under the name of real
ism.
But now and then we still dream,
and art, at its best, is some ones
dream come true In the paintings
in the Franklin Institute by Thorn
ton Oakley, by those in the Carnegie
Institution by J. Monroe Hewlett,
and the pageant of the Canterbury
Pilgrims in the Library of Congress
Annex by Ezra Winter, we have
evidence to this effect. Furthermore,
in this these three painters do not
stand alone. There is light on the
heights if still darkness in the val
ley. Let our artists dream once
more; the world stands desperately
in need of their visions.

Clarinet and String Quartet, Op.

The two quintets are among the
greatest creations from the pens of
these composers. Mozart wrote his
quintet in September, 1889, for An
ton Stadler, clarinetist at the vi
emma court and a close acquaint-
ance of Mozart's who had special
fondneSs for the instrument. The
quintet was recorded for the Victor
Co. in 1888 by the Budapest Quar-
tet and Benny Goodman. Mozart
has exploited the full range and
tonal quality of the clarinet in
this work. Brahms was inspired to
write four works which employed
the clarinet by the beautiful play
ing 10 Prof. Muehlfeld of the Mein-
