The Communists countered by
charging the U. N. Command had
made no report on spare weap-

Edwin Davis Gives Rovel
Spectacular Reading
By Irvinq Lowens

Edwin Davis piano. At the Arts
Club. Program: Sonata No. 20 IN
taisteS. Ravei: une baraue sur focean.
Ravel: Alborada del gracioso, Ravel;
Sonata No. in minor, Opus bS.
Chopin.
Edwin Davis, who holds a
Pho. degree in chemistry from
Harvard University, conclusively
demonstrated last night at the
Arts Club that he is a pianist OF
no mean skill and artistry.
Playing a program consisting
exclusively of particularly tax
ing works, he succeeded admira-
bly, in getting behind their tech
nical difficulties and projecting
their essence.
This reviewer regretted that
Mr.. Davis chose to begin his
recital with a late Beethoven
sonata rather than some smaller
work. It was evident that the
brief lyrical allegretto wit h
which the sonata opens was not
q sufficient warm-up for the
pianist. The later built t. in
deviltries caused Mr.. Davis just
enough trouble to disturb the
pieces even flow and to build
tension. and thus to mar what
was otherwise a remarkably
thoughtful and mature inter-
probation.
BY the time the Ravel pieces
had been reached, however, Mr..
Davis had his fingers well under
control. These impressionistic
masterpieces received a truly
spectacular reading.
The pianist'S art was masked
to some extent by the negative
qualities of the instrument upon
which he was playing, which
was notably lacking in bass
resonance and treble sparkle.
This was particularly unfor-
tunate in these works for the
piano itself, as Ravel writes for
It, is almost as much a living
organism as the inStrumentalist.
The recitalist was heard to
best advantage in the third

D, Bach; GreensleeVeS' yauenan WI
Slowly. sowerby; Toccata, Mulet.
Johann Sebastian Bach has
come full circle. Stokowski
transcribed Bach. and Virgil Fox
has transcribed Stokowski. The
brilliant young organist last
night at the National City Chris
tan Church brought the master
of the king of instruments back
to the organ in the fastest and
most symphonic performance OF
the prelude and Fugue in D"
that has been heard in Wash
ington in a month of Sundays.
MIR. Fox can change registrations
in less time than most organists
can play notes, and every piece
he plays is conceived in the most
kaleidoscope manner imaginable.
Most organists differ with Mr..
Fox in his conception of effec-
tive presentation of Bach'S or
gan music. In his orchestral
music Bach thinks of each in
dividual instrument as solo
throughout a movement or part
of a movement. The later ever
changing orchestral texture Gre
ated by instruments appearing
and then dropping out in con-
tinual regroupingS was un-
known at the time. Therefore,
most authorities believe that the
most authentic effect of Bach's
organ music is achieved by a
sparing use of change of color,
since there is little reason to
hold that Bach considered the
organ in an entirely different
light from the orchestra.
Mr.. Fox's playing of Bach in
the manner of a modern SYM
phony seems entirely foreign to
the nature of the music, and his
mechanical and wooden phra9-
ing does not help matters.
The Franck "Grande Piece
Symphonique" is a different
story. Mr.. Fox called the work
a crusade" and although his
explanation of the term did no
more than his performance to
elucidate his meaning, the
snowy bag of tricks was a per-
feet vehicle for him. For make
no mistake, Mr.. Fox can make
sounds and create effects on the
instrument that are so Spectacu-
lar that they seem miraculous.
He played a vertiginous toe
cata solely on the pedals. and
while the mirrors behind the Or
gan were arranged to show only
his hands, one can assume he
used not more than two feet.
Yet this truly fantastic display
piece seemed to be in three 81
multaneous voices.
Mr.. Fox is one of the few long
hair musicians in this country
who is a concert organist-that
is, a church organist without a
church. That he has a large
following is not difficult to un-
derstand, for he is an admirable
Snowman. Last night he played
to a standing room only audi
ence in large church; the re-
cital was a great and obvious
success.
Yet out of sheer high spirits
and bravado, Mr.. Fox attempted
a feat that made the pedal toe
cata seem child's play, something
at which the best church organ
list or the greatest theater per-
former with aid of the "bounc-
ing ball" is invariably a failure.
He invited the audience to sing,
First he gave a voice lesson, then
careful coaching for not one but
four stanzas of America the
Beautiful" Then he asked the
audience to take the roof of.
Did the audience respond? I
report that every man, woman
and child sang as loud as he
could, and better than he was
able.
