SEASON TO A BRILLIANT CLOSE

The Beaux Arts Trio, heard on Friday night at-the High

their superb artistry. This was truly one of the best concerts
of many seasons. The applause did not stop at the end of the

concerts; patrons were enthu-
siastic in their praise of this
little orchestra" long after
the concert was over. Daniel
Outlet, violinist; Bernard
Greenhouse, cellist; and Mena-
hem Pressler, pianist; form an
ensemble of musicianship SO
perfect in artistry and tram
scendent in Interpretation as
to defy comparisons. This con-
cert was easily worth the price
CT all three concerts of the
season.
The Beaux Arts Trio opened
and ended their program with
sonatas by Beethoven and
Mendessohn, which are really
symphonies written for a
smaller ensemble. The Beet
hoVen Trio No. l was played
with feeling and verve. The
dynamic flow of climax and
return to the quiet murmur Of
muted cello or soft piano
trills was dramatic fare for
this Well-knit group. These
gentlemen once more lent
their full musical force in the
majestic Mendelssohn Trio in
C Minor, opus sc, which closed
the program. This composition
is one of the best examples Of
Mendelssohn's noble, roman
tic style; and the Beaux Arts
Trio is the greatest Interpreter
Of the Mendelssohn work.
Their recording of this sonata
on MGM label has been es-
teemed as ian Interpretation
that lives and breathes and Off
outclasses any other"
The program continued on
the solo level as each of the
trio members presented their

talents. Their noted, young
Palestinian pianist, Menahem
Pressler brought his astound-
ing virtuosity to the perform
ance of the Chopin A Flat
Iolonaise and the E Major
Etude, both great favorites in
our day and times. Daniel
Outlet, genial dean of violin
lists, expressed his musicality
through the varied media of
Tartini, Debussy and Knoll
compositions. Mr.. Outlet, an
u~nassuming musician, han
died his Stradivarius in a way
that left no doubt to- his claim
to fame. Difficult technical in
Movements were always sub
servient to the imagination
and musical emotions at hand.
Mr.. Outlet was heard in his
own arrangement Of Debussy's
"Clair de Lune." In this com
position his warm, vibrant
tone evoked an unforgettable
mood OF dreamy contempla-
ton. The violinist's part of the
program was closed with the
tricky musical idea by Knoll,

The Golden Rain tree (Kole-

grower.
The common SasSafraS can be
trained, but it is necessary to
keep the suckers under con-

The European Linden (Tilia
europaea) is considered by
many as the best of the Lindens
with few faults and it is a
rapid grower.
Medium Sized Trees
The willow oak, a native of
the sandy coastal plain, is
slow growing and produces a
dense shade unless the branches
are thinned. 1t is a slow
grower, deep rooted. and rela-

The paper birch is an excel

trees as well as with the follow

tree with its snowy cluster Of
flowers in the spring. 1t is a
moderately large spreading
tree with large leaves. a fairly
fast grower. The Sweet gum, a
favorite for many years, has
fallen victim to a serious dis
ease and is gradually disap-
pearing from this area. The
Buckeye and the Horse Chest
nut are moderate sized growers
but do not seem to be long lived
in this area; many object to the
hard shelled fruits. The honey
locust is a large rapid-growing
tree which can go to a con-
siderable height. Most people
are frightened by its fierce
looking thorns. The flowers are
attractive and are followed by
a generous crop of pods. The
new thornless honeylocust are

ing that in gaining shade We
lose lawn and the chance Of
having shrubbery and flowers.
Some trees are subject to
disease and insect pests.
The Towering Trees
Many of the Towering trees
are too small to provide shade.
Some. such as the redbud
(Cercis canadensis) are tall
enough. It, however, is a Is
to 80 foot rather Short-lived
tree. 1t is one of the taller
Towering trees but is rather
shallow-rooted. The flowers are
attractive in the spring and are
followed by numerous small
seed pods. There is a white
lowered variety. 1t is a mod
erately fast grower.
The MimoSa (Albizzia juli-
btissin) is approximately the
same size with feathery pink
bloom in late May. 1t is deeper
rooted than the redbud and its
light shade is favorable to the
growth of grass. The MimoSa
webworm usually ties the leaves
together, which spoils the APP
pearance of the tree but does
not seriously injure it. The
Mimosa is a fast grower with a
broad-Spreading top.
The Towering crabapple trees
are a most diverse group. There
are a few that make fairly large
bushes and some will grow to
IS or 80 feet.
The Towering cherries may
be divided into two or three
groups. The weeping cherry is
the largest but the single flower
ing ones, such as those growing
around the Tidal Basin are fair
sized. The doubles are rather
small trees. especially the va
riety Kwanzan. widely planted
here. The cherries are not too
shallow-rooted for good grass.
Borers may attack them unless
the trunks are coated with DOT

are not very fast growing.

The blackberry (Celtis occi-
