BY ELENA DE SAYN

The joint recital by Egon Petri,
famous Dutch pianist, and Nicola
Moscona, Metropolitan Opera basso,
in Constitution Hall last night, pre-
sented under the auspices of the
Chamber Music Guild, was the oc-
casion for an enthusiastic demon
stratlon of the esteem in which the
Washington audience holds the two
artists.
With thoughtful regard of the
scheduled hour and the we'll filled
auditorium, Mr.. Petri appeared
promptly on the stage. Finding the
piano not opened, he lifted the
heavy lid himself and waited pa
tiently for the late comers to take
their seats. After a performance
of the national anthem which lent
grandeur to the familiar strains, the
popular pianist began the recital
with Bachs "Chromatic Fantasy
and Fugue," the latter played with
fine appreciation of its acoustical
and polyphonic content.
But it was in Beethoven's Sonata
in F minor, op. ST. known as the
"Appassionata," that the artist, fully
warmed up, gave of his best. The
anguished accents that run through
the entire work, the choral-like
majesty of its middle part and the
agitate OF the last, found a con-
vincing interpreter in Mr.. Petri. who
nodded admirably this emotional
work into a dramatic whole. His
Stupendous technique and fieetneSS
of fingers seems to exceed the me-
chanical properties of the instru-
ment, which appeared to respond
slowly to his swift execution.
In Litzt's "Trois Etudes d'exe-
cution transcendante," consisting of
"Harmonies dun Soir," "Ricor-
danza" and "Etude in F. Minor" the
opportunity was given to hear Mr..
Petri's lovely sustained tone, espe-
cially in the first two, in which he
stressed their contemplative moods
Scintillating passages played with a
typically LisZtian brilliancy brought
forth enthusiastic applause and de-
mands for an encore. The reception
given his more serious numbers in
the beginning of the program was
equally spontaneous, bringing him
back to the podium number of
times.
Opening his first group with two
songs by Handel, Thanks Be to
Thee" and Silent Worship" Mr.
Moscona impressed by his skill in
long phrasing and by his splendid
breath control. His voice is resonant
and powerful and possesses a wide
range AS the tones in forte are in

clined to spread, the richness of his
natural voice, its flexibility and
scope were best illustrated in such
type of songs as the "Pieta Signore"
by Stradella, which closed the first
group. 1t was in these songs, excel
lently accompanied by Karl Krietz
at the piano, that Mr.. MoScona did
his most artistic singing.
The subsequent numbers suffered
from lack of clear enunciation, which
showed the singer to a disadvantage,
although F1egier's lie Cor" dis
played the depth and sorority of his
range. The "Serenade" from Gou-
mods Faust MacGimsey's THE
Land of Degradation and Warlocks
"One More River" were the remain
ing numbers of that group, supple
mented by three encores, III La
cerato Spirito" from Verdi's Simon
Boccanegra, being among them

Negro Soldiers
Discharges Slow

Washington, D. c. (NNPA)-Of
$500 soldiers discharged from the
Army on the first day the point
system was effected, only 70 were
Negroes. While Negroes are al
most 10 per cent of the men in the
Army, this discharge rate repre-
sents only 8 per cent.
These discharged men were al
ready in the United States at sepa-
ration and redistribution centers.
Those in the latter places were
awaiting reassignment to other war
tasks after having served overseas
for long periods.
The small percentage of Negroes
in this first group has increased
the anxiety concerning the chances
for Negroes being proportionately
discharged from the Army under
the War Departments point sys-
tenn of returning men to civilian
life. The emphasis under the sys-
tenn that is put on battle decora-
tions, and the expected difficulty of
obtaining requirements for Negro
troops because of the Army's seq
regation policy, puts an unfair
handicap on Negro troops.
Fears are being expressed that
the slow rate of discharge of large
numbers of Negroes will lead to
racial tensions later. The earlier
discharged men, mostly white, will
have first choice of available jobs
in the postwar period. To this
handicap will be added the already
existent prejudices and discrimina-
tons practiced against Negroes in
industry.
The highest point score among
the rs Negroes released on the first
day was 10. A total of IS points
is required to qualify for discharge.
As result of combat awards-less
available to Negroes because of
their 80 per cent restriction to SER
vice troops-a white soldier has
been reported to have received 27S
points.
