youthful pianist Of Washington.

lowed with interest since he was
S years old. Mature musically and
technically beyond his years, Dono-
no impressed by the fluent dexter
ity Of his fingers, the clarity Of his
execution, poise and the sustain
ing qualities of his tone, especially
commendable in his readings Of
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in
G Sharp Minor" Chopin's "Scherzo
in B Flat Minor" and "Etude In E
Major, Op. 10, No. g." "Etude IN
A Flat, Op. Is, No. l." and "Etude
in G Flat, Op. 10, No. So
Besides having the satisfying
quality of depth, the touch Of the
youthful virtuoso reflects already a
well-developed appreciation Of tonal
values, as exhibited last night in the
"Adagio Sostenuto" of the sonata
and the first Chopin's prelude on
the program. The fleetness of his
passage work and the flaWless clar-
ity Of execution of the two remain
ing etudes spoke well Of his tech
nical proficiency.
Awarded a thunderous reception
at the beginning of the program
by capacity audience, well rep
resented by Youthful admirers,
young Donoho was generously ap-
plauded after each number and
especially after the Chopin group.
However. he did not respond with
an encore at that time, but went
on with the program, reversing
somewhat the printed order and
playing Critics modernistic "Scher-
20, Op. 6, No. g." prior to Falla' s
exciting Ritual Fire Dance"
Although not possessing as yet
the natural physical strength to cope
with ponderous chords such as found
in the Bach Busoni "Toccata and
Fugue in D Minor" Donoho always
impressed by the volume and elastic
tity of his tone when it was not
taxed beyond its capacity, and the
dash with which he tossed off the
octave passage in Dohnanyi's
Rhapsody in C Major" Op. II, No.
