Pianist Renders Balanced
Program Under Music

Ralph Sheldon. pianist, present
ed by the Thursday Morning Music
Club in recital last night at the
Great Hall of St. James church,
balanced the classicist against the
romanticist in the first half of his
program, playing Bach's Partita
in c minor, No. 2, and Schumann's
Carnival, Opus 9. Better examples
of the two schools could not have
been chosen.
Bach stuck reigiously to the
classic rules. Schumann violated
all Of them, and not content with
that, made his own, and did good
job while he was at it.
No Quarrel
The honest critic has yet to be
found to quarrel with Bach Every
body in his day quarreled with
Schumann for his unorthodoxy. 1t
was like what James Russell
Lowell said of himself in his Fable
for Critics:
