Music
Recital by Kahn
Shows Brilliant,
Robust Playing
By EIeno de Soyn

Erich Itor Kahn, pianist, COM
poser and co-founder of the Al
benari Trio, was presented in the
Phillips Gallery last night in re-
cital. This is the first time that
Mr.. Kahn was heard alone, his
appearances, under various aus
pices heretofore, being those in
ensemble. His playing at all times
is vital. robust and brilliant, his
steel-like fingers and temperament
breatheing life and animation into
age-worn classics and modernists
alike.
In addition to Bach's rarely per-
formed -Four Duets; Beethoven's
Sonata in F sharp Major, op. 78''|
and Mozart's Sonata in D Major
K. No. 576";; the artist gave De-
bussy's Three Etudes". his own
Five Inventions" and Schoen-
berg's 1.-TWO Piano Pieces op. 33."|
Debussy's charming studies-the
first filled with graceful embellish-
ments, the second constructed onl
repeated notes, the third on ar
peggios-were tossed off by Mr..
Kahn in a dashing manner. His
modernistic inventions, written in
different moods, and Schoenberg's
pieces were good examples of ad-
vanced ideas in which concordantI
sound plays little or no part. Here
again abundant temperament,
held in check by superior type oil
musicianship, made his readingsl
authoritative and interesting.
There was, however, a certainl
amount of sameness in style and
approach to what he played. This
was partly due, no doubt, to the
fact that Mr.. Kahn performed
everything from music. While SCI
curity was uppermost. there was a
lack of sensitivity and color, some
times the result of less concentra-
ton on a given piece of music.

the teaching staff in the evening
schools. AS Principal Earl L.
Vail at Roosevelt points out,
teachers must be very good" to
hold evening school students, be-
cause these students unlike day
pupils. are not within the re-
quired attendance age. Holding
power in teaching Is an excep-
tionally high challenge. Approx
mately SO per cent of the teach
ing staff are chosen from among
permanent day school teachers of
the District: others are not per-
manent in the District day schools,
but some are from among the
regular staff in Virginia or Mary
land schools. still others are for
mer teachers here or elsewhere.
Principal Vail also points out
that many students have in
creased their earning capacity by
taking advantage of the extensive
evening school offerings in the
business subject field, in mathe-
matics, and in science. Our stu
dents" he says, "often make great
personal sacrifices to come to
school, and they continue because
they feel that they are getting
something worthwhile out of their
courses"
Peak Attendance Night.
For some unknown and perhaps
various reasons, Monday night is
the peak attendance night in the
evening schools, and Thursday
night is a poor attendance night.
Browsing around from class to
class in the evening school one
catches lot of information. For
example, Mr.. r. K. Brown, science
teacher of many terms, gave a
negative answer to that student
who asked, IF you cut off a grass
hopper's wings, will they grow
out again?" The biology class of
10 or a dozen persons was almost
literally taking the grasshopper
apart and putting him together.
This science teacher gives his
students a list of Is branches of
biology in which scientific names
are given in one column and def
nitions of the branches are given
in another column-but they do
not necessarily match. Students
indicate what they think is the
correct matching. And what
would you do if you found 1.-The
study of fish" labeled anatomy?
Well, you should indicate that itI
is not anatomy. but "ichthyol-
ogy." And pick and shovel SCI
ence" is not "anthropology" but
archaeology" And so on, if you
know how to match the big words
with the simple descriptions. BIZ
ology students in this class have
been learning by doing.
Or again, if you have forgotten
what lend marks" mean, the
business English class can ex-
plain that one., Discussions in an
economics class brought out opin-
ions on such matters as how eco
nomics affect war. the attitudes
of France and Of the United
States on rearming Germany, re-
lationS of tariff to strategic
stockpiling, what are cartels, and
the like.
Work Fields Represented.
