the business of playing the Sextet

for left hand alone. This is such
a trick that we didn't even recognize
that he was playing, the Sextet
being something you don't expect
to turn up on piano under mans
left hand.
Mr.. Cornejo, incidentally, will be
DR.. Cornejo before he goes back

He already has composed, among

Tuesday night was the one we had
set aside for checking up on things
around the town. Didn't get very
far with that project, though. Our
first mistake was made when we
stopped first at the Cafe Caprice
of the Roger Smith Hotel, where
Rodolfo Cornejo is adding an un-
usually bright flip to the After
Dark entertainment of the town.
When Mr.. Cornejo sat down at the
piano it seemed most sensible to
stay right there as long as possible
He is a classical pianist of great
skill, making the Cafe Caprice the
only place in town where there is
a piano recital every afternoon and
evening of the week. Mr. Cornejo's
technique seems an assured one and
his music has the sound of music
made by a man who likes his work.
His repertoire appears to be large
one, ranging from Philippine folk
songs to Beethoven and back again
with such varied stopovers as Glare
de Lune" and Ritual Fire Dance" I"
Mr.. Cornejo also includes some
