Hungarian Quartet
Plays With Finesse

which we are all too ready TO
believe came into existence only
with the last quartets Of Bee
thoven. Haydn was Beethoven's
teacher, and while pupil could
circumvent master and skip
several stages Of his development,
he was never able to surpass
him in achievement.
Bartok, whose mellow and pro-
foundry moving last quartet was
the centerpiece Of the tryptich.
was a Hungarian who died only
IA few years ago in New York.
He is considered by many TO be
the most vital. original and adept
composer since Debussy-one OF
the goth century's few indubi-
tably great names in music.
His sixth quartet. written late
in life when he had abandoned
either temporarily or perma-
nently the violent and astrin-
gent style of earlier years, is
unique in form. It opens with an
extended melancholy tune Of
great beauty. scored for viola un-
accompanied. This tune is heard
again as a prelude to the two
following movements. each time
made more expressive by added
detail and harmony, but not
greatly expanded or developed.
II leads into three movements
Of contrasting mood and style
In the fourth and last move
ment. the original melancholy
theme Is expanded into a slow
movement Of profound pathos
This time II Is routed by no con-
trasting movement. but seems 70
lead back 70 the mood Of the
beginning.
II II Is true that composers
who are interested in string quar-
tets save their finest inspirations
for their works in that form. no
more typical works Of the three
men represented could be chosen
y prove the point.

Five men and four women
formed the receiving line at a
party last evening, an event
that seldom happens in Wash
ington.
This took place at the re-
ception given by the new Sec
rotary General of the Organi-
zation of American States and
Sonora de Mora. 1t was their
first real party since DR.. Mora
took office, replacing the late
DR.. Davila.
The guests invited were
mainly the Ambassadors to
the GAS. the alternates and
their wives. In the tradition
Of the United States, it was
almost a house warming. Sc
nora de Mora has just finished
doing over the residence.
The five men led the receiv-
ing line and included DR.. Mora,
DR.. Fernando Lobo, Chairman
Of the Council of GAS; DR..
Cesar Delgado, outgoing Chair
man Of the Council; Ambassa-
dor Cruz-Salazar, Vice Chair
man of the Council, and AM
bassador A b erto Sepulveda.
outgoing Vice Chairman.
The women were Sonora de
Mora. Sonora de Delgado, Sc
nora de CruZ-Salazar and Sc
nora de Sepulveda.
Changes in Residence
The guests at the small g.
to-8 party were all noting the
vast changes in the Secretary
Generals residence, which Is
just behind the Pan American
Union. The house was origi-
nally built as a bachelors
quarters to fit the bill of the
first Secretary General.
This is hard to believe in its
present state. Sonora de Mora
has changed it all. Instead
of the old paneling it is
all painted stark white-the
archways are gone and in their
stead are wide square en-
frances from room to room.
