CeIIist Domb, 19, Shines
In Polished Performance

while noting that he made the
cello sing as mellowly in the
alto as in the bass-baritOne
register.
The Brahms sonata had an
eloquent reading, and the soma
Ia by Samuel Barber after in
PERMISSION matched it. Where
his piano partner, Leon Pom
mers, held back carefully dur
ing the Brahms, he did not in
the Barber. A good thing, too,
for it brought the instruments
closer in balance. Given the tone
and temperament Of this young
celliSt, no pampering is neceS-
Sary.
Those Sonatas, splendidIy
played, were the large musical
works Of the afternoon. The dis
play pieces received equal at
tention, beginning with the
TchaikovSky variations, won
derful in the solo cello but a
little unsatisfying in the piano
reduction of an orchestra score.
The Paganini variations on an
aria from a RoSSini opera were
written for one string Of the VIC
Lin, but Mr.. Domb makes it
perfectly obvious that one string
of the cello will do as well.

plays well. It would be inter
eSting to hear him in a pro

Daniel DOmb is not yet 20,
but he plays the cello with the
power and polish of an artist
twice his age. He walked off
with a Merriweather Post Com
petition award in Washington
four years ago, and won others
in New York, where he has lived
and studied since arriving in
the United States with his fam
lily from his native Israel in
1858. His Phillips recital yeSter-
day afternoon was a dress re-
hearSal for his Town Hall debut
in two weeks.
The Domb tone is big, round,
firm and fully packed, and his
technique is big also, as the au-
dience was made aware when
Mr.. Domb tore into the Brahms
sonata, his opening piece. Only
an occasional string slap in the
fast passage work marred his
performance, a price paid for
the demands he puts upon the
instrument. A minor irritation,
that, hardly to be mentioned

ON WINGS

As history goes, so years Is
normally but a punctuation
mark.
What the six decades since
the Wright achievement at Kitty
Hawk, N. c., have produced in
the world of aviation is well en-
ough known today.
What has been misplaced or
porarily forgotten is a
wealth of comment which grew
up along the way, some Of it, by
hindSight not only humorous but
understated as well.
In the late afternoon Of De-
cember II, 1903, a Western
Union telegram was delivered
to the Wright home in Dayton,
ohio. Housekeeper Carrie
Grumbach dutifully signed for
it; carried 1t upstairs to Bishop
Milton Wright, father Of the two
pioneers.
A short time later, he came
downstairs and told Carrie
well, they've made a flight"
There was, the housekeeper
later recalled, more jublilation
over the fact that the Brothers
Wright would be home for
Christmas than over their sue
cess.
Only three newspapers, the
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, the Gin
cinnati Enquirer and the New
York American carried the
story on December Is, two Of
them on Page l.
Bishop Wright was incensed.
1.-THE Dayton Journal and Gin
cinnati Tribune contained moth
ing, though furnished press re-
porters the news" he said.
In mid-1941, looking over a
new 1,7OO-horSepower airplane
engine, 0rville Wright unused
'In a sense, l guess we didn't
know what we were doing when
we built our first plane. We
never enviSaged the plane as a
terrible engine Of war"
In December Of 1871, he ex-|
pressed belief that the airplane
would yet be instrumental in
establishing a guarantee Of
peace"
Two years earlier, Represen-
tative Mas, Of Minnesota, decl-
AIRED that the best way to honor
the Wrights ''is for this country
to develop the most powerful
air force in the world"
Commenting on the Wright
Memorial atop Kill Devil Hill
0rville Wright said:
Fifty years from now might
be soon enough to determine II
this memorial should be built.
To do 1t now seems like an i'm
position on the taxpayer"
The current issue Of "Sky-
lights" issued by the National
Aerospace Education Council,
recalls one more:
1.-THE spring Of 1904 found the
Wrights experimenting with a
new airplane on a field outside
the Dayton city limits. Commu-
tiers riding an interurban train
often saw the brothers flying.
"The Wrights themselves rode
the train frequently and numer-
GUS times fellow passenger,
Luther Beard, talked with them.
However, the subject of
flying was never discussed and
Beard, who was managing edi-
tor of The Dayton Daily Jour-
nal, concluded the Wrights did
not consider their activities as
newsworthy. He is quoted as
