the fighting slackened. He and
"a friend counted 400 dead
mostly young girls and boys
in the square.
The girls and the older women
helped in the fighting, he said.
They had helped build the bar
ricades and keep the supply lines
open.
Kornel seemed puzzled at the
question of how the Hungarians,
supposedly the most easy-going
of the satellite peoples. had risen
up barehanded to engage in I'M
equal struggle with the Soviet.
Die for Freedom
They didn't think about it."
he said. They were so deSper-
ate. that when somebody started
yelling freedom, they didn't think
any more, they were ready to
die for it"
The second day. the Russians
moved in. BY the third. the Hun
garian Army had taken over
most Of the fighting.
The fighters for freedom had
only one cry. 1t was 'szabadsag, !"
which means. freedom in Hun
garian.
The GaboseS looked on fondly
as Kornel told his story. Mrs.
Gabos didn't know her son was
in the uprising until she bumped
into him on the street the second
day and saw him carrying a gun.
Neither mother or father slept
uitil he came home at the end
of the third day.
To them. also, it was plain.
the revolution was spontaneous,
inevitable. the protest OF a
people who had suffered too
much too long.
Kornel said simply. "it is easy
to explain. If Americans were
in the same situation and suf-
fered what we did. they would
DO the same thing"
Had they expected American
help2
Understood Help Coming
The Gabos family looked grave.
Apparently they had understood
the messages they heard from
Radio Free Europe to mean that
help was coming. But there was
no bitterness, at least not when
the family fled, by bicycle and OH
foot, to Vienna. on october rs.
But the rebellion is dead.

Of fighting"

hoped to escape. Their one re-

enjoyment. The singing was good
but in no single case, with the
possible exception Of the Colline
of Kenneth Smith, outstanding.
The soloists appeared to have
been chosen not so much for
their voices as for their visual
attractiveness. The balance
between voices and orchestra
favored the former to an extent
that gave many of the scenes the
impression of being sung drama
with incidental background music
Ir a ther than a homogeneous
ensemble.
If the acting was not notably
good. it was visually, neverthe-
less. that the production was the
most interesting.
The achievement Of the pro-
duction canont be said to have
matched the attempt, commend
able as that was. There may be
two reasons for the feeling Of
stiffness. One is the uninspiring
conducting Of Peter Herman Ad-
Ter. who created a careful but
unexpansive opera. The other is
the actual sound of the music.
The average good commercial
television set does not compare
in the reproduction Of sound
with what one has come to ex-
pect from a good phonograph
record played on high fidelity

welcome visitor to Constitution
Hall yesterday afternoon, Offer
ing a solid program of MASTER
works constructed around the
music of Schumann. the centen-
NAL of whose death is being OBJ
served this season.
Here is a pianist whose tech
nique is so perfect that it is
positively awe-inspiring. Every
thing that he attempts sounds
simple and clear because one is
never aware of any problem in
its projection. The music is the
thing with Casadesus, and tech
lnique never intrudes itself upon
the listeners attention.
So it was with the Mozart F
major sonata which opened the
program, and so it was with the
tremendous Symptoms Varia-
tons Of Schumann which closed
lit. Always there was the sense
Iof ease, the breadth Of concep-
ton, the grasp Of the whole
which marks the true master Of
the keyboard.
The interpretations Of Casa.
desuS are Gallo in their sharp
lines and insistent clarity. but
they are universal in their tram
Scendent purity and self-effac.
ling humility. So far as this re-
viewer is concerned, there are
few artists indeed to whom he
would rather listen.
Mr. Casadesus is a miraculously
gifted pianist, and it is a privi-
lege to hear any music filtered
through his keen musical INTEL
ligence. When he plays great
masterworks such as those by
Mozart, Beethoven, and Schu-
mann heard yesterday, the re-
suit is a thoroughly memorable
concert.
