The last concert of the Beethoven
sonatas series at the Library OF
Congress under the auspices Of the
Gertrude Clarke Whittall Founda-
ton, played by Joseph Szigeti, vio-
linist, and Claudio Arrau, pianist
took place last night at the Coolidge
Auditorium. The three works pre-
sented were Sonata in F Major
Op. 24";; Sonata in D Major, Op. IL
No. J." and Sonata in A Major, Op
e." dedicated the violinist Kreutzer
Comparing the first two works
performed with the latter, especially
since the spring" sonata in IF
Major" was taken by the artists
rather too deliberately to suggest
its care-free character, one can well
understand the hold which the
"Kreutzer" sonata exercises upon
the audience and its lasting favor
with violinists, undiminished through
140 years from the date of its first
public performance. Already in the
opening measures by the violin
alone, the work rouses immediate
interest. skilfully sustained to the
very end by a variety of episodes
gripping, either by their power OF
idealism.
Many Beethoven's themes art
noted for their uplifting character
yet there is hardly another which
can surpass that of the "Andante,
which opens the second movement
for its nobility and purity Of out.

Szigeti and Arrau Present
Final Concert in Series

I key and the one which follows can
be considered among the most CRATE
full cantilenas in the entire violin
literature. Constrasted by the bril-
liancy of the first and last move
ments, the sonata requires nothing
short of virtuosity on the part of
both executants as to dynamics and
balance.
Cases when great piano soloists
are equally as great as ensemble
players are rare and therefore, if
they are not, it should not be to
their discredit To make a perfect
team requires affinity with the part
ner and with composer as well. In
spite of a flawless mechanism, Mr..
Arrau's approach seemed artificial,
while Mr.. Szigeti gave the impression
of being in his very element, excel
ling in original effects.
Some years ago he gave reading
of the "Kreutzer" sonata at the
Library of Congress jointly with AL
fred Cortot, which still fingers in
the memory of those who were
privileged to hear it. Many artists
have come to the Coolidge Audi
torium and gone since, number OF
them rewarded by unstinted ap-
proval, but, if memory serves right
the enthusiasm and the ovation
awarded the performers on that eve
ming was hardly ever duplicated
within its walls. Electrified, the
conservative audience of bygone
days, rose to its feet giving way to
emotion in an unprecedented dem.

the Germans are unleashing the
growing crescendo of the greatest
counterassault since Kasserine:
Said doughboy heading back to
the combat line, I'VE are going to
kill plenty OF Krauts today. If they
gain any ground here it is going to
cost them to l to do it." Three
hours later he lay dead, but he kept
his word. His comrades said four
Germans died first.
Fight Like Pack Of Wolves.
Another Yank racing down a
steep road. shoe-laced by German
shells, yelled: I'VE are holding them
here and have got the British on
our left. And as much as them
Tommies make me mad, they fight
like crazy. They can hold a long
time on CUTS alone"
Referring to the enemy's tank
supported enemy infantry assaults
striking from the north, q British
officer said, 1T was the most furious
l have ever seen. They came like
a pack Of wolves. When we moved
them down others followed fresher
and stronger than the first ones
We moved them down, too. It was
bit rough"
Other Tommies praised Yank
tank deStroyers which sWunk swiftly
over to support their positions
smashing the enemy armored spear
heads.
Pilots Eager for Battle.
At the beachhead emergency air
base where shells also are falling,
bearded Spitfire pilots paced impa-
tiently waiting their turn for patrol
duty or sudden scrambles, anxious
to help all they could even against
what is admittedly the toughest air
opposition yet met.
At headquarters a dusty liaison
officer just back from the combat
line said, 1T is rough going but
they (the Germans) are wasting
plenty of men and materiel on
every attack"
At the docks neither shells or
bombs stopped the unloading of
supplies. At supper some smart
psychologist located an Italian nd
dler who played while the men ate
their rations, laughed a few mo-
ments and then went back to their
posts.
At all points of the line the back
field of the Allied team is grimly

classed as masterpieces of priceless
