Music
Minno Nien7onn
Heard in Annual
Piano Recital
By Alice Eyersmon

Minna Niemann, resident pian-
ist, gave her annual recital yes
terday afternoon before a distin-
guished audience in the hall of
the Sulgrave Club. Bouquets of
flowers supplemented the applause
at the conclusion of a program
that pleased her listeners in every
respect. If it was not of an ad-
venturous nature as regards the
type of selections, it was excel
lently suited to Miss Niemann's
particular style.
She is not a bravura pianist,
although equipped technically to
that point. Because of the lyric
character Of her tone, works of
more poetic content display her
ability for the expression of senti-
ment and for attaining delicacy
in effects. Critics Clouds" and
Gardens in Spring" presumably
her own composition, demon
strated this fully and were among
the best projected numbers on
her program. In them her sing
ing touch came to the fore, as
also the charm with which she
can handle passage work of a
more descriptive kind.
The "Etudes,' Numbers 6, 8
and IL of Chopin's opus IS,
showed the competency of her
finger technique but she was al
ways equal to the sweeping style
demanded for them. The sixth
Etude, or the Study in Thirds, I"
was played with clear, bell-like
tone and precise setting forth of
it's intricacies. The difficulties of
No. 8 were easily met also, yet
the spirit that can make these
Etudes stand out for something
more than technical brilliancy was
not found. The final study of
this group requires a more sonor-
Gus quality than Miss Niemann
possesses and which would re-
produce impressively the force
fulness that has given the name
of ocean" Etude to this work.
Too much pedal interfered with
clarity of nuance, especially in
Liszt's "St. Francis Walking on
the Waves" Here, too, her nat
ural tone timbre and the soft
contours of her type of playing
missed the larger effects, although
being adapted to all that is po-
etic in this legend. On the whole,
the recital revealed a careful con-
sideration of musical values and
a mechanical sureness of a Su-
perior order.
The program opened with Mo-
zart'S Fantasia in c Minor"
"Italiana" from Respighi's Suite
Antiche Dame ed Arie." in Mo-
linari's arrangement. and Scar
latti sonata.

Between mid-December and
mid-January, retail food prices
declined nine e-tenths of / per cent,
the agency reported. On January
Is, the retail food price index was
4 per cent below year earlier.

canned fruits and vegetables and
fats and oils were at the lowest
level since the middle of 1916
when price controls ended.
Eggs took the sharpest drop
