Wooten Retrospective

Odell Wooten has a small
but effective one-man show
at Harrigan's, 9Th and H
streets S.W. through Tues
day. The paintings generally
fall into one of three theme
categories, testers and a self
portrait painted naturalistic-
ally; marinas in decorative
stylization; and architectural
subjects, handled as abstract
masses.
Lower East Side" Green
City" and Construction" are
composed Of clusters Of
squares and rectangles on
lighter backgrounds. "Fjord"
is in a class by itself, near
representational beauty Of
cliffs rising from the water.
and conveying a feeling Of
vast loneliness.
MI. Wooten, who is now
teaching at the Corcoran
School and National Art
Academy, was well grounded
for his career with study in
important schools in New
England, New York and here
(the Corcoran). He exhibits
regularly in group shows, and
has won prizes in the Wash
ington area.

BY DAY THORPE
star Music Critic

It is a curious fact that
most great operas have a. IL
bretto based on a play, novel
or story. Although opera is a
highly developed type Of en-
tertainment, 1t seems that
composers rarely feel the ne
cessity of a plot specifically
designed for musical drama.
The operas Of Wagner, "Cosi
fan tutte," and Berlioz' "Tro-
jams" and "Benvenuto Gel
lini" are notable exceptions.
On the other hand, 1t is rare
to find an opera which sets
the words Of a stage play
without any major alteration
an opera which is in fact
a play enhanced by music.
Debussy's 'Pelleas ct Nell
sande," which will be given
here this month. is of course
the great example Of a play
to which music has been add
ed. The composer shortened
the play Of Maurice Maeter-
linck, but he made no other
changes in the 10-year-old
work. Thus "Pelleas ct Nell
sande" should logically be the
favorite opera of all music
lovers for whom the average
music drama with its con-
trived and melodramatic
story deforms and dilutes the
true spirit Of music.
"Pelleas" Is a highly dra-
matte work, mysterious and
without beginning or ending,
in which the ambiguous and
elemental human passions
and desires are seen in a va
riety of persons who come
we know not whence and
go we know not whittier.
Debussy has set the words
of his characters over an ex-
tended tone poem which re-
minds the listener now Of
la Mer," now Of "L'Apres-
midi" and now of one Of a
half dozen piano preludes. At
first one thinks Of the vocal
line as a sort of recitative
in which the sense Of the
words is styled and their
meaning heightened. But be-
fore the first of five acts is
over, one begins to hear in
the voices-I speak for my
self-not an easy and clearly
ineligible recitative but an
added orchestral voice-one
that is often the most pas
sionate and immediate of
the palette.
Like lie Sacre de Prin-
temps" a few years later.
'Pelleas," when it was first
produced at the Opera Com
ique in 1902, caused a wild
controversy. its detractors
ridiculing an opera without

TURNTABLE TALK
Horowitz Pictures
Preserved on Disc

to the Sinfonia Domestica,"
by Richard Strauss.
"Parergon," as Klaus
George Roy explains on Bos-
tons jacket, is Greek for by
product, and the composition
is close enough to the ia
miliar Strauss orchestral
score so that the publisher
of the latter once tried to
block a public performance
of the piano work on the al
legation of copyright in
fringement. Strauss, of
course, won the argument.
The solo part in "Parergon"
is entirely for left hand. This
is because the piece was writ
ten for Paul Wittgenstein.
the one-armed pianist, for
whom Ravel wrote his left
hand concerto and other
composers also have supplied
special works.
Mr.. Wittgenstein, who now
lives on Long Island, is the
soloist with an orchestra led
by Eric Simon in Boston's
recording. The pianist is past
20, but he plays with assur-
ance. Since he obtained the
composers approval for some
unpublished embellishments
of his own, he has more than
one Identification with the
piece, which enhances his
advantage over other per-
formers, if there are any who
have essayed the score at all.
The music is Enthusiastically
Straussian, however, and a
welcome addition to the
available repertoire in this
well-recorded offering.
Like Horowitz, Wittgen-
stein has also felt it incum-
bent to broaden his stock in
trade by the technique Of
transcription. Among the sew
eral examples of this kind
occupying the oversize one
is a Liszt-like Lucia" para
phrase written by Theodore
Leschetizky, the famed peda-
gogue, for Alexander Drey-
schock, a 19th-century Be-
hemian virtuoso who liked
lefthanded show pieces for
voluntary reasons. OF four
Wittgenstein-arranged COM
panion pieces two (Schubert's
'Du Dist die Rub" and Wag-
ner's Liebestod music from
"Tristan") are re-dos of
List re-dos. With due credit
to the able Spianist, the
Strauss is more interesting.

By JAMES G. DEANE
Star Record Critic n

It is regrettable that
Vladimir Horowitz is such a
rare performer nowadays, for
there is hardly a pianist now
living who can match him for
musical intensity and sheer
digital magic.
A forcible reminder Of the
,Horowitz prowess has APP
peared in the form of a re-
cording of his edition Of
Mussorgsky's Pictures at an
Exhibition" The recording
stems, as most Horowitz re-
cordings have recently, from
q concert performance, this
cone having been in Carnegie
Hall on April %, 1851. The
origin can be detected by the
presence of some coughs
from the audience side of the
microphone.
No one will worry much
about these extraneous
sounds. The performance is
arresting enough so that the
nearer viii spend full time
marveling that the piano has
ever seemed to pose any me-
chanical problems. It GER
tainly does not to Mr.. Horo-
witz. The Horowitz pictures"
amounts to a tour de force,
in almost any way one can
consider it.
Careful listeners will note
some departures from the ia
miliar formal Of the orches-
trail version. The jacket notes
by the late DIN Downes point
out that the pianist consulted
original manuscripts in his
adaptation, however. The disc
should make a welcome vari-
ant from the numerous COM
peting orchestral editions
now available. There is no
stereo version, Of course. but
stereo is no special advantage
for solo piano.
One hopes RCA Victor will
be able to make more fire.

a grassy area.
