Superb Artistry of Heifetz
Still Expanding, Recital Shows

bers he has added to his repertoire
each season.
Yesterday he introduced to the
local public a Sonata" by the Irish
composer, Howard Ferguson, whose
name Immediately became one to
remember. The genuineness of the
composers talent is apparent from
start to finish Ct this work that
seems to have been set down in its
entirety through the impulse of un-
tagging inspiration. There is orig
inality and dramatic feeling in 1t
and, while SO written for the violin
as to call into play all its effective
means, this is done to express some
thing definite in the composers s
mind.
The most arresting movement of
the three is the allegro furioso''
and here the perfection of Heifetz'
technique could be appreciated in
all its brililancy in the unrelenting
tempo and intricate f1gurations.
This unusual interlude leads into
a movement where song-like pas
sages Of great beauty mingle with
a dramatic discourse. The COM
poser has carried the thread of his
idea through to the end in a
thoroughly convincing way and
with imaginative power. 1t Is a
worwhile work that should be heard
again.
The program departed from the
customary by being opened with
the Bach "Partita in E major" for
violin alone. While portions of the
"Partita" are played frequently, the
whole is heard more rarely and still
more rarely as warming up number
for an artists recital. Never has
Heifetz' tone been more eloquent or
mis- musicianship so prominent as
in the playing of this number. The
variety of nuance, the charm of
phrasing and the warmth and deli
cacy, to say nothing of the surety Of
delivery, exerted a spell over the
audience.
With the years, HeifetZ' tone has
taken on greater vibrancy and depth
so that now it's extraordinary purity
and mobility has the added appeal
of emotional warmth. In Glazoun-
offs Concerto in A minor" OF
which Heifetz is one of the finest
interpreters, its expressiveness was
employed to the fullest in a reading
Evening star., 1946-02-18
By Alice Eversmon

The eminent violinist, Jascha
Heifetz, heard yesterday in Consti-
tuition Hall, gave another of those
rewarding recital by which he has
increased his fame. What is par
ticularly interesting about his pro-
grams is the thought that has gone
into their arrangement and the fact
that, even when playing familiar
numbers, he has something new to
give. There is evidence in every
recital that the artist has gone a
little further in his artistry, astound-
ing as that may seem to those who
have admired his superlative mastery
for many years.
He is not an artist 70 rest on his
laurels nor is he one to curry favor
with the crowd. He is developing
constantly in the deeper sense and
each season gives the public the
benefit of his research and study.
The old stand-bys are not repeated
time and again but are used discrim-
inatingly to balance the new num-

Iof great beauty. His virtuosity was
eminent IN the cadenza with its
customary virile quality, but the
plan of the whole in poetic mold
was far more arresting. The feel
ing, thought and analysis put into
1t was communicative.
The usual group of shorter pieces
was given at the end, all but one
being the artists own transcriptions.
But these numbers also were not
hackneyed ones but delightful in
the variety to be found in Debussy's
La Chevelure," Poulenc's Presto,
Rachmaninoff's Daisies" and "Ori-

cos arrangement of the Largo al
factotum" aria from Rossini's 'The
Barber of Seville" the concluding
number. was extremely clever in the
distribution of thhe volatile pas
sages for effective violinist display.
Mr.. Heifetz had the expert as
Sistance of Emanuel Bay, whose
piano accomplishments were sensi-
lively modulated at all times. There
was a record audience in attend
ance, for which rows of additional
chairs were put on the stage, and
almost everyone waited for the en-
cores which included Ravel's
"Habanera," Prokofieff's March"
Gluck's "Melodie" and Valle's Bra
lillian Prelude"
National Gallery Program.
The regular Sunday night pro-
gram in the National Gallery of Art
was given by Shannon Bolin, con-
tralto, and Milton Kaye, pianist,
both artists bringing superior
quality to their performance.
Mr.. Kaye has a pianistic equip
ment so excellently developed in an
all-around manner that he bids fair
to be known as one of the foremost
exponents of the instrument. His
technique is solid and flexible to a
degree and his powerful tone never
loses its sorority in favor of volume

For the state to pile up an enorm-
Gus surplus in its treasury while
denying financial assistance to
towns and cities which are almost
insolvent is on par with heart
which would pump into one half
the human body more blood than
it could use while withholding
blood from the other half.
The 1947 legislature ought to
give financial help to towns and
cities, even if it should be neces-
sary to divert part of the. bevar-
