Howard University play e d
host to the Image Of Chile"
last night, presenting the admir-
able pianist Alfonso Montecino,
a disciple Of Claudio Arrau, at
Cramton Auditorium in a recital
featuring the formidable "Di-
abelli" Variations.
If Bach sought to sum up his
knowledge Of fugal technique in
THE Art Of the Fugue," then
Beethoven attempted to do ex-
actIy the same thing for the
variation in his utterly fantastic
set on Anton Diabelh's silly lit
tie waltz tune.
The emotional range of the
'Diabelli" Variations is a con-
slant establishment, and Beetho-
ven's demands on the player
can be adequately met by very
few virtuoSos.
To say that Mr.. Montecino
traversed this oddly magnifi-
cent landscape with power and
grace is high praise indeed. If
he was not equally successful
with every variation, the conSo-
lation is that nobody is.
To my mind, he was at his
best in the lyrical and intro
Spective variations, reaching a
peak Of expresSivenesS with the
three superb cantilenas that
precede the boisterous fugue Of
the 32nd variation. At other mo-
ments, it was plain that he had
a tiger by the tail; even his
tremendous technique was bare
ly enough to get him through
safely. But for the most part, the
level Of the reading was some
where between these two ex-
tremes, and that is very good
indeed.
Before the intermission, Mr..
Montecino played music by his
compatriots Of which Alfonso
Leng's 1850 piano sonata was
the most ambitious. DR.. Leng
(Of mixed German and English
descent) practiced dentistry for
many years in Santiago and de-
voted his leisure time to compo-
sition. He is a member Of the
older generation, next year he
will celebrate his 80th birthday.
His sonata is sturdily construct
ed and shows every evidence Of
professionalism on the cOmpos-
er's part, but it is not likely to
survive him by too many years.
Leon Schidlowsky's Weberni-
an wispS we're finished before
anybody really had chance to
lean back and relax, while Mr..
MontecinO's own left-hand piece
(nicely enough written did moi
say very much to me.
Altogether, the Chilean half Of
the program, which lasted a bit
less than Is minutes, was some
thing Of a disappointment.
The next event in the Image
of Chile" concert series takes
place Friday evening at the Pan
American Union, when the 81
year-old pianist Ena Bronstein

Mitchell Andrews, born in
Iowa and now teaching at the
Juilliard School of Music in
New York, numbers among his
teachers such names as Sam
aroff, Friedberg and r o in a
Lhevinne. His command Of the
keyboard is extraordinary, and
there is nothing ordinary about
the programming he brought to
his Phillips recital, either.
The evening began with the
Beethoven rondo which carries
the subtitle, Rage over a lost
penny" a witty piece wittily
played, and procee ed e d to a
shorter Beethoven piece no one
seemed to have heard of. "Le-
tzter Gedanke" carries no opus
number, was said by publisher
A. Diabelli to be his last must
cal thought, taken from an 1926
manuscript Of quintet sketches
and put out in 1910. It is in c
Major, and not terribly memo
rable.
Quite confused, the audience
neglected to acknowledge its
finish with the customary ap-
.plause, and Mr.. Andrews swept
on into the Schubert variation
on a Diabelli waltz, which also
p a S e d unacnowledged. Ho-
hum, he must have muttered,
and proceeded to the Mozart so
nata, which he played elegantly.
There were some among the
audience bothered by the lack
of e Spouse earlier, for the
Franck pieces were interrupted
after the prelude with a sponta-
neous outburst Of applause, an
outburst quickly smothered in
embarrassment.
After the intermission the pro-
gram proceeded from the cal
isthenic to the kinesthetic, be-
ginning with what was billed as
the first Washington perfor-
nance of "For The Piano, Oh.
49," by the late American COM
poser, Robert Kurka. Elusive of
form but impressive in energy,
with intermittent periods Of re-
Taxed quiet, 1t is a virtuoso
piece. The grand finale to the
recital, Chopin's Allegro de Con-
cert, was a dreary exercise in
how to keep pumping up eli
makes when the material has
thinned.

Basketball enjoys an enviable
position this time Of the year.
Not only Is it in the news for
current perfor mances but the
review of the year innews must
start with last January and its
myriad of roundball tourna-
mentS and titles.
Walter Johnson, after being
a bridesmaid to Blair's great
championship team ofl962, took
the county Glass AA basketball
title and the right to repres ent
the county in the state tourna-
ment at Maryland's Cole Field
House.
WI fought off Blair, B-CC and
Northwood for the title. The
key game for the Spartans was
a 62-45 victory over Northwood
on February is to climb on top
Of the league and clinch the
title.
The season was filled with
surprises and excitement.
B-CC became the darling team
Of the circuit with some last
minute heroics and the Barons
Bryant Agnew stamped himself
as the county's best with the
baskets that won several games
for B-CC in the waning minutes.
For his efforts Agnew was
named to the Metropolitan ALL
Star team. His one man type
efforts couldn't overcome the
Walter Johnson performanc e,
however, and the Spartans went
to the state. WI lost to Tow
son in the first round, but the
season was certainly a succ ess.
Poolesville, unheralded in the
shadows Of the county's bigger
schools, romped to a second
straight state Glass C title and
maintained the aura of pride in
the upper county community.
Springbrook made 1t to the
finals but lost to Allegany in
Glass A.
In early March the big news
was the first Of a series Of
coaching changes at Blair. Stan

Damascus couldn't even use
its entire gymnasium for pract-
ice until three days before the
season opener, yet the Hornets
have raced to six victories In
the first seven games and the
teams followers are already
looking ahead to March and
playon time.
Kinney Is quick to try and
dampen such premature
thoughts as playoffs and state
championships but he canhard-
ly hide his rapidly building
optimism when he adds "my
kids are sure maturing. They
are now playing the game in
an intelligent way.
"That's important. You can
have mechanical ballplayers
who do the right thing but YOU II
still lose. When you add matu-
rity and that experience, well
then you can start winning.
"We're not really as good
as the record shows but after
all the victories are there and
we could easily have been m-
beaten right now."
The lone loss came at the
hands of Poolesville and 1t was
a close game. Poolesville won
$3.50 but Damascus was down
by only one point late In the
game.
