The lovely tone which Mr.. Shifrir
draws from his instrument and his
keen sensibility in Interpretation
provided one of the most enjoyable
performances in both the classic
and modern works. In Barlow S
rhapsody, in which the string Sec
tions are well harmonized with the
oboe, the latter has a grateful op-
portunity for the creating of a spe-
cial atmosphere, and Mr.. Shifrin S
skilled playing was most POLITICALLY
attuned. The introduction of a
short passage for solo violin added
an effective touch of light to the
descriptive character of the work.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

What might be considered the
f1rst concert here in which the
double bass figured as a solo instru-
ment, so long has it been since
such was the case, was that given
by Sergt. Roger M. Scott, U. S. M. c.,
and Sergt. Ferdinand Pranzatelli,
U. S. M. c., violinist, in the Phillips
Gallery yesterday afternoon. The
two musicians divided the program
into solo groups for each instru-
ment, combining them in two num-
bers at the end.
The double bass has few expo
nents in the concert field, the most
famous being Serge KouSsevitsky
before he became a conductor. It's
difficulties are great and the litera-
ture small, but with the growth of
symphony orcheStraS interest in it
has Increased. But in the history
OF music several renowned virtuosi
are recorded and from two of. the
most famous, Dragonetti of the late
eighteenth century and Bottesini of
the nineteenth, Sergt. Scott Sc
lected works they had written for
his numbers.
On an instrument of rare design
and value and more of the size of
a basso di camera than the double
bass of the orchestra, Sergt. Scott
played with a technical mastery
astounding in its easy f1uency. The
tone of his instrument is not large,
but makes up for volume in its
smoothneSs and melowness. The
harsher sound of the orchestral
double bass was not heard and from
a distance it resembled more the
one of the viola.
The Apdante from Dragonetti's
Concerto" and Bottesini's "Taran-
tella" gave ample opportunity to
judge the full resources of the in
Strument. In the former, the warm.
vibrant quality was apparent and
Its responsiveness in sustained
phrasing and artistic shadingS. The
"Tarantella" with its virtuoso de-
mands into the highest register,
proved its f1eXipiilty in f1orid execu-
ton, and while the effect lacked the
brilliancy of the clearer-to in
struments, it disclosed a wide gamut
Of color.
Sergt. Scott's performance was of
high order and his proficiency in
handling the difficult stretches and
the clarity of his runs and trills
earned him the resounding applause
