On one of the most beautiful
Easter Sunday afternoons in
recent memory, and In COM
petition with other musical at
fractions, Theodore Lettvin
drew a packed house for his
recital yesterday at the Phil
lips Collection. This is an in
dication of the number Of
friends this gifted and serious
young artist has made In his
appearances here over the last
few years.
I believe that his power over
an audience rests on his mu-
steamship. To be sure, he has
the sure technique and iron
hands that can make a baga-
telle out of its profusion Of
rhinestones; but he can also
play a group Of Brahms Inter-
mezzi with the utmost in re-
straint. yet with great subtlety
and variety of effect. B
His Walstein sonata yesterday
was a tour de force. Only the
prestissimo finale was taken at
unusual speed; but his ability
to make every note count and
his unusually fine command OF
the damper pedal made even
the allegretto sections sound
like the work of a virtuoso.
Midway in the program he
offered a set of three pieces by
Howard Whitaker, a composer
