vertimento in d. for strings. X 125a.
When Mozart visited London
at the age of nine, he met j. C.
Bach and became acquainted
with his music. Man and music
both made an indelible impress
sion on the boy. 1t is not too
much to say that the latter is
one of the principle sources of
his style. While in London, or
perhaps a few months later
while in The Hague, the young
musician assimilated the work
of Bach by copying out three of
his sonatas and adding to them
an accompaniment for string
orchestra. The three pieces which
were the result were homage to
Bach, good display pieces for
the young travelling harpsi-
chordist, and excellent practice
in the composition of keyboard
concertos.
These concertos. the first of
the long string which Mozart
composed up to the last few
weeks of his life, were played
yesterday in the Phillips Gallery
by Theodore Lettvin, pianist,
with a chamber orchestra made
up of members of the National
Symphony and conducted by
Paul OlefSky. They are unpre-
tentious but by no means trif1es.
Simple, crisp. brilliant and in
tensely melodic. they were a joy
for the capacity audience, which
could accept them either as
delicate and refined works of one
of the most popular composers
of the 18th century seen through
the eyes of his most famous
pupil, or as the youthful ideal
of that pupil. the result of
which has left its imprint on
the musical susceptibility of all
of US.
Mr. Lettvin's reading of the
concertos was free of any trace
of condescension. He played in
a straightforward and unaffected
manner. and revealed all the
grace and charm of the music
which is a good example of the
complete break which had been
made by the composer from the
already archaic style of his
father. S. Bach. The Or
chestra under Mr.. Olefsky played

profited by more rehearsalS, for

Therapeutic ScuIptress

NEW YORK-At the famed
New York Yacht Club on West
Forty-fourth street last week,
this writer had the privilege of
introducing the American Sculp-
tor Malvina Hoffman, who stud
led under the great Rodin. Some
of her friends and contempo-
raries in the field of art were
ballerina Anna Pavlowa, Min
sky. Jean Cocteau, d'Annunzio,
Maeterlinck, Mary Garden and
Paderewski. Her work is exhib-
tied in museums and galleries
all over the world, including our
Metropolitan. One of her great
est works is her tremendous Hall
of Man in the Field Museum in
Chicago. BY every yardstick, she
was the most celebrated person
who ever addressed the Service
League of the United States
Public Health Service hospitals
which was the occasion of our
meeting. Reluctant to accept
invitations. she agreed to this
one only because her subject was
to be the use of sculpture in
therapy and medicine.

Actually, Malvina Hoffman
was born only about block and
a half away from the New York
Yacht Club. She confessed that
en- route to the meeting, she'd
looked in vain for buildings she'd
known as a youngster at Forty
third street and Sixth avenue
where her family had lived Even
the Hippodrome of her youth
had vanished.

Richard Bales and the Ma.
tional Gallery hestrs
charmed a capacity crowd ir
the East Garden Court of the
Gallery last night with a pro.
gram of fine. light orchestra
music of the late 18th and early
18th centuries. The orchestra
played clearly, in a relaxed
manner. as though the program
were good fun to play.
It was certainly good fun tc
listen to. The opening overture
by Schubert was full of gracious
melody, romantic, discursive;
rather like a parody of Sara
Teasdale by John Keats. The
little Mozart pieces were espe-
cially affective. The last en-
ployed three percussion players
with hands full of tuned sleigh
bells.
1gnaz Pleyel made his greatest
success as a publisher and
dealer in musical instruments
particularly keyboard instru-
ments In addition, he was a
good composer of the second or
third rank, best known to me as
the source of innumerable easy
violin duets which have
launched countless young fid-
oilers into ensemble playing.
He also wrote a lot of more
pretentious music. of which the
symphony heard last night is a
good example. 1t is weakest in
the slow movement. but the cor
ner movements are full of dash
and the minuet is a good stand
ard product. He also has a SYM
phony concertante for woodwinds
and orchestra which 1 hope to
hear locally one of these days.
The second half of the pro-
gram opened with a string Or
chestra version of the magnifl-
cent variations on the Austrian
National Hymn from Haydn's
Kaiser quartet. I thought the
reading was too romantic. toe
much tinged with rubato. No
ollity was traded for sentiment
with everyone the loser.
The program closed with some
Iof the commercial clatterbane
which made a good living fol-
the Strauss family for almost a
century. 1t is tremendous gift
to be able to write popular music
which lasts, and Johann Strauss,
