doubt on this policy.

All composers represented in

Composers and Conductors at

'ingtonians: all but Emerson
Meyers presented first perform
ances of works for various COM
binations. 1t is noteworthy that
the standard of excellence was
high, and that the five pieces
showed considerable technical
skill, Imagination and variety.
WOOllen Is No Amateur.
Russell .Woollen, who played
his own sonatina and toccata,
and took part in the Evett quin-
tet, is a proficient and resource
full composer, and one Of the best
pianiSts in town. Since he is a
Roman Catholic priest. it is
doubtful that music can be
called his life work, although
to consider him an amateur. mu-
sician would be less than accu-
rate. If the cloth is his calling,
music is his vocation.
The clarinet trio of John
Stephens is a vigorous and lido
matte piece. in which the young
composer is remarkably success
full in the difficult task of bal
ancing the wind instrument with
piano. The Meyers sonata, which
has been played previously by
Charlotte Durham at the Phil
lips Gallery, is a full-scale work,
the adagio sostenuto of which
is particularly impressive. The
three-part finale is almost a
complete piece in itself.
Evett in Opposition.
The Evett quintet is the third
work of this composer to be given
public performance in Washing
ton this season, and to say it is
the best is not to disparage the
others. The difficulty encountered
by even the most experienced
composers in making the piano
blend with a small group OF
strings is successfully overcome
by Mr.. Evett, who seems to use
the piano in opposition to the
quartet. rather than as a part
of a quintet.
The excellence Of the per-
formances of Father Woollen
and the Catholic University
Quartet was what one has come
to expect of these artists. Robert
