Kolisch Unit
Will Close
Series
Quartet to Be
Heard Twice in
Starlight Music

For the final two concerts In the
Starlight musical series Tuesday and
Friday, c. c. Cappel is bringing to
Meridian Hill Park the famed Ko-
lisch Quartet. The two programs
this great quartet will play are nota-
BILE for their appeal and their musical
distinction.
Tuesday nights concert will be the
first al fresco appearance the Ko-
lisch Quartet has ever made. This
Is the second conspicuous first" p
the Capital has been responsible for
in the history of this top-ranking
group. 1t gave its first Ameri-
can concert here in 1885 under the
sponsorship of Elizabeth Sprague
Coolidge at the Library Of Congress.
Since its debut, the Kolisch
Quartet has enjoyed pronounced
success and has introduced many
outstanding modern compositions,
not few of which were written
especially for the group, among them
compositions by Schoenberg, Bartok
and Alban Berg.
Schoenberg's connection with the
quartet Is important on other scores,
Mr.. KoliSch studied with the cele-
brated Austrian composer and later
served for three years as Schoen-
bergs chief assistant, participating
in concerts of the Schoenberg So
clety, in addition to giving recitals
OF his own. When Mr. Kolisch had
organized his own quartet, Mr..
Schoenberg was responsible for the
fact that Jascha Veissi joined the
quartet as viola player. At that
time Mr.. Schoenberg was in Cali
fornia, where he headed the music
department at the University of
California, while Mr.. Veissi was
Hollyvoods highest paid viola play
er, helping at fabulous salary, to
supply background music for sound
films.
Mr.. Kolisch is Viennese, and it
was in Vienna that he found the
quartet's second violinist, Felix
khuner. Mr.. Khuner abandoned his
advance work in chemistry and
mathematics TO join the group. But
for Mr.. Kolisch he would not todav
be a professional musician. Stefan
Auber, cellist, also has his memories
OF Vienna, where he made his debut
with the Vienna Philharmonic at
the age of IL. His father before
him had been a well-knoWn cellist
ana the son easily followed in his
footsteps.
Inc hrst program, at BIS pm.
Tuesday, will open with Beethoven's
Quartet No. 5 in A Major, Opus 49,"
followed by the Ravel Quartet in p

Schuoerts posthumous Quartet in

Maiden"
on Friday night the program will
begin with Mozart's Quartet in G
Major. K. V. 465." the difficult and
brilliant "DiSsonance Quartet" Then
another Schubert, the fine "Ouartet
IN A Minor, Opus 29," will find new
magic under the bows of the Kolisch
quartet. For the last half of this
last concert, Mr.. Cappel has ar
ranged delightful conclusion to the
series. The Mendelssohn Octet" will

the kolisch Quartet will be ioined
by four guest artists, all members
OF the National Symphony Orches-
ira; Mlllard Taylor, concertmaster
OF the Symphony. and Milton

posed to be self-portrait, but the
discovery of an inscription, long
overlooked, which gives 1869 as the
date of execution, seems to have dis
PEELED this supposition, as by then
the painter would have been much
more advanced in years. Further
more, less than a century after it
was painted this portrait was in the
collection of Sir Peter Lely, painter,
and was catalogued as of an un-
known person. 1t is a gravely Sc
rious work, admirably rendered,
very reserved, but while possessing
dignity and inducing admiration as
a work of art, tells us little about
the man represented. Undoubtedly
1t has a certain Spanish flavor,
fundamental strength, on which
Velasquez was later to build an art
of surprising splendor. SO great,
1t is said, was the influence of
Moro's art on Spanish painting that
he himself is sometimes classed as
a member of the Spanish school.
Rivaled Master.
AS master and pupil, Peter Paul
Rubens and Anthony Van Dyck
were phenomenal The former was
% years older than the latter and
had reached the age of 38, and su-
preme power, when the latter, lad
of 16, entered his studio to learn
from him. In little over five years
Van Dyck, in capability, rivaled his
master and worked so much in his
manner that it was land still Isl diff
fcult to distinguish his paintings
from those by the more experienced
artist. And yet Van Dyck was never
copyist, an imitator. Instead he
apparently had a rare capacity for
absorbing the best of what he saw
and using it with consummate skill
to his own great end.
Rubens' early days we're by no
means happy. He was born in
Siegen, Westphalia, in 1877. His
father had held high position as
lawyer and alderman in Antwerp,
but, becoming Calvinist, had fled
to Cologne for safety and later en-
tered into intrigue which brought
him disgrace. After his death in
1887 the family returned to Antwerp,
but were extremely poor. His
mother, however, saw to it that he
had as good an education as possible,
got him place as page in wealthy
family, and. realizing his artistic
gift, sent him to study under an
artist kinsman at the age of 13. In
1900, Otto Van Veen, an accom-
plished painter, impressed by Van
Dyck's talent, urged him to visit
Italy, and, acting on this advice,
the young student-painter made his
way to Venice, where he met Vim
