inner contents on the part OF the
performers. Against q flatterine
background of ripping passages ir
the harp and somber strains OF the
viola, the flute dominates the trio
and is assigned the message Of lyric
beauty and romance. There was
not much give and take In the en-
semble to make the song eloquent
although technically the number
was above reproach.
Rudolf Forst's Trio" opening

idiom is unfamiliar, his opus is a
good piece OF landscape painting in
the "Pastorale," impressionistic in
character. The Dance" of the finale
has a sparkle, enhanced by the
|capricious turn in the harp, which
brings the work to an effective
conclusion.
The brilliant execution of Gretch-
aninoff's "Bachkiria," fantasy for
flute and harp, less sophisticated
than the two other novelties on the
program, showed the artists at their
best. Easy to assimilate, graceful
and melodious, this work from the
pen of Russia's famous composer
in exile, shows his inexhaustible
gift for melody. simple but never
