Heidelberg Loosens
DeIuee Of Notes
By FRANK C. CAMPBELL

Jack Heidelberg. piano. In Phillips
Gallery Program: ToecAta in 2, Bach;
scarbo. RaveI: -Four Pieces, on. lla.
Brahms: Allegro. John Colman:
Navarro Albeniz.
BY the nature of his program
in the Phillips Gallery last
night, pianist Jack Heidelberg
insisted that his audience listen
to legions upon legjons of notes
in greater profusion than this
reviewer has heard from one
piano and one pianist in quite a
while.
Mr.. Heidelberg dealt with fist
fuls. armfuls, piano-fuls with
much efficiency and some dex-
terity in a program that was
arresting for variety of period
and style, If not of feeling and
mood.
With so much racing about by
everybody from Bach and Brahm
to Stravinsky and John Colman,
there was hardly a peaceful and
not really lyric moment in the
whole evening. Mr.. Heidelberg
efforts with quieter parts of
three Bra Inns Intermezzos,
though trying for some warmth,
seemed only pale and rather
tense.
The pianist's most relaxed
playing came in the first two of
the Debussy Images" when ne
was able to produce sounds that
were cool and shimmering. The
cascades of sound in which De-
bussy's water music" abounds
were played with remarkable
fluency and delicacy.
A1th ough Mr.. Heidelberg's
playing here was fleet, in this
very agility there seemed to lie
the key to his chief drawback
as a really brilliant pianist. The
playing was rapid and sometimes
clear, but there was not the con-
troll that comes with true
strength--the strength that can
create as perfectly controlled
rain as it can thunder and light
ming.
There was not the mechani-
cally i'm peccable sound that
would have given energy to
Stravinsky's fast sections and the
Debussy Movement" or ele-
gance to the intricate melismas
of the Stravinsky "Adagietto."
Mr.. Heidelberg's conception Of
the Brahms rhapsody was prop
erly expansive, but he hadn t
quite the strength to carry It
through.
Mr.. Heidelberg did a COM

be distinguished music from
every point of view-fre S h ).

texture.
After the intermission, a.
woman's choir sang the first local
performance of the Cuban com
poser Paul Csonka's "ConciertoI
de Navidad" in which Edna
Phillips, a fine harpist, assisted.
The work is a gentle, acidly i'm
pressionistic piece which makes
effective use of the distinctive
timbre of the harp and the
ethereal quality of women's
voices.
Another semi novelty was
