The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1940-11-21

With an enthusiasm that caused
the comment, Tacoma seems to
be waking up" an audience that
filled Jason Lee auditorium greet
ed f. Robert Schmitz, eminent
concert pianist and teacher, and
the Tacoma Philharmonic orches-
ira with Conductor Eugene Linden
Tuesday night.
In the Beethoven Concerto No.
1 in c Major, for piano and or
chestra. with DR.. Schmitz at the
piano, the orchestra performed in
a manner to compliment the dis
tinguished company in which 1t
appeared. AS for DR.. Schmitz, 1t
was to be expected that he would.
as he did, bring out in full the
beauty which the master tech
nician and artist finds in the
Beethoven composition.
A fortunate introduction to the
presentation of DR.. Schmitz was
the Prelude No. "a, one of forty
eight preludes and fugues IN the
well Tempered Clavichord,' Jo-
han Sebastian Bach. This group
is considered among the greatest
examples of contrapuntal art. II
was played with the smoothness
and feeling required to bring out
it's fine qualities.
In the symphony No. 4 in F
Minor, one of the most difficult
OF six symphonies composed by
Tschaikowsky. and the first broad
cast sponsored by tine Tacoma
Chamber of Commerce. there were
weaknesses due to the handicap OF
insufficient opportunity for re-
hearsals. This particular number
was composed while Tschaikowsky
was upset as a result Of an I'M
fortunate love affair. The work
reflects a mind working under Sc
we're stress but at the same time
il is dominated by his great tech
meal proficiency.
The author of the program
notes, referring to this number
said: There is a stage in the
career of every music lover when
the banality and blatant emo
tionalism of Tschaikowsky are the
most repugnant things in music
and the very qualities that en-
deared this composer TO the neo-
phvte now become cheap and
tawdry." That could be applied to
some of the passages in the per
formance Tuesday night.
One of those 'neophytes,' who
submitted a review in which the
weaknesses were pointed out, add
ed this: But who is critical
enough to split hairs when a group
of sincere musicians is filling a
concert hall >" That thought was
expressed in the applause which
/ followed the number.
A distinguished visitor at the
concert was Robert Crawford
baritone, of New York, and q
former soloist with the orchestra
