When that famous telecast
Of the New York Philharmonic
Young Peoples Concert re-
vealed the astounding talent
of 16-year-old Andre Watts to
the world last January, there
were two other gifted pianists
on the same program.
One was a l4-year-old honor
student at the ]. E. B. Stuart
High School in Fairfax named
Joan Weiner.
Miss Weiner, a pupil Of
Emerson Meyers of the Catho-
lie University faculty, was
heard with the Philharmonic
in a movement of the Mozart
A major Concerto. She did
we'll, but as all the world
knows, the boy from Philadel-
phia, now launched on what
promises to be a spectacular
career, threw everyone else
into the shadow with an amaz-
ing performance Of List.
Yesterday afternoon at the
Phillips, Miss Weiner had a
full-sized recital to show what
she can do. There were no
compromises because of her
tender years - everything on
her program would have taxed
the mettle Of an experienced
virtuoso.
BY and large, she came
through what must have been
a fairly rough ordeal pretty
we'll. At times, she unleashed
an amount of pianistic power
that was surprising, and her
technical skill spoke we'll for
the future. I found myself
most content with her per-
formance of the sprawling, ro-
mantle Berg-Sonata, which was
quite convincingly projected.
There were blemishes, natur-
ally enough, and many of them
we're understandable and eX-
cusable. Despite her nine years
of piano study. it would have
been a miracle if Miss Weiner
we're not at least a little bit
nervous. AS a consequence, the
difficult Bach Toccata which
she offered first was touched
with woodenness, which I feel
certain is not to be found when
she is playing in private.
The heart of the recital was
the complete set of Chopin Pre-
ludeS, a dreadfully severe test OF
both technique and musician
ship. Technically, the young
pianist came through with fly
ing colors with a few minor
EXCEPTIONS; but not surpriS-
ingly, the mood of these rain
bow-hued, very adult pieces
eluded her. 1t is perhaps ask

The fourth concert in the
National Gallery's continuing

the performers included the
