rhythmic patterns. 1t was played
with great clarity.
The fifth sonata of Vicent
Persichetti strikes me as being a
busy, yet stagnant work. There
is no real tension that extends
beyond the measure. so the slow
movement lacks shape, for all its
melodic beauty, and the outside
movements stay rapidly in the
same place. like a pet raccoon
in a cage.
Halsey Stevens sonata is quite
another thing. He has a real
sense Of climax and a way of
making his rhythmic elaboration
organic. The weakest movement
is the last. which mingles two
listed tub-thumping with coy
and derivative little quiet spots.
Head and shoulders above all
the rest of the music on the pro-
gram was Roy Harris Toccata.
which evokes the respIendent
free ornamentation of the ba-
rogue in a wonderfully clear
and sonorouS diSsonant har-
monte color. Here the music it
self, and Miss Tolson's mastery
OF the pedal. produced sounds
that showed the true mission of
the modern grand piano.
The piece called Sombrero was
empty and thin, and George An
theilS Toccata is an aggressive,
reiterative stupidity which
sounded like q bad encore.
Miss Tolson has few EQUALS
and fewer superiors among pi-
anists of today. Her tone Is
always lovely and plastic. She
approaches the music Of every
composer with humility, and
with the genuine desire to ex-
press as well as she can what
the music has to say. Her pro-
gram last night was carefully
prepared. magnificently played,
and graciously presented. I wish
all the composers had been there
to hear how honestly and we'll
she transmitted their message,
even though I judge she was not
entirely in rapport with all the
music. 1t was a privilege to be
there.

Financing of Maryland's pro-

and then, in a verbal clash with

request but had made clear his
differing opinion.
Tax Proposal Scored
The effect of a proposed $40
cent a gallon gas tax increase to
provide funds for a port author
ity, said Mr.. Mulligan, would be
to levy impost on the entire
State for the benefit of persons
living in the Baltimore area.
Furthermore, he contended,
Maryland additionally "dedicates
all revenue from gasoline taxes
to highway improvements"
"Such dedications put financ-
ing in a strait jacket and are
unwise." Mr.. Mandel countered,
