the Mariners TO go away ana
then told them to come back
again. Told Tony Marvin to
shut up before he even got

This sort of thing, naturally,
arouses the curiosity. The only
thing to do is to watch Godfrey
to see some of this at first hand,

it is tuned to Channel 9, CHS

Budapest Quartet Returns
With Glory of Earlier Years

had trouble matching it from
seasons beginning to end.
Last night at the Library Of
Congress, a capacity audience
heard the Budapest Quartet
again after an absence of two
months. They saw Alexander
Schneider, who left the quartet
a dozen years ago, back at the
old stand-second violin. They
heard the high standard Of past
years come to life again; this
was the quartet as it played in
the 194Os.
The first announcement that
Mr.. Schneider was rejoining his
colleagues, for the rest of this
season at least. led to the hope
that the good old days of cham
ber-muSic playing would at last
return. They did last night.
These four artists always have
been at their best in Beethoven
quartets. The program con-
tanned three-one from each
style period of the composer.
The C-minor quartet presents
Beethoven in mood of energetic
melancholy. The performance
did full justice to its somewhat
youthful charm.

The E-f1at quartet, Opus 1877,

dies are hidden away in inner
parts and the structure of the
work is complex. But last night
