S per cent for the year.
Most Of the increase occurred
in the relatively undeveloped

OF slum houses accounted for a
decline in the number Of resi-

The soloist with the National
Symphony Orchestra last night
was the fiery Czech-American
pianist Rudolf Firkusny, and
DR.. Mitchell hasn't had a buster
guest artist this season.
Mr.. Firkusny was heard in
two lengthy and unfamiliar
works - Bohuslav Martinu's
"1ncantation" and Antonin
Dvorak's G minor Piano Con-
certo. For many years, the
pianist has been a propagandist
for both composers, and it
would be difficult to find one
more eloquent or more skilled.
The unusually violent and
intense Martinu piece received
its first Washington hearing. 1t
is now a little more than six
years old, and it has been init
mately connected with Mr..
Firkusny throughout its brief
lifetime. He was the pianist at
its unveiling in New York in
1856, and was also the first to
play it in Europe. The COM
poser (who died in 1857 was
his friend and compatriot.
Martinu is essentially a lyri-
cist, and despite the savage
] dtssonance Of the Incarnation, "
the work is profoundly moving
in a melodic sense. The title
appears to pertain to the curl
GUS oscillation in half-tones
which is its thematic core.
Through a series Of aston
ishingly imaginative manipula-
tions in rhythm, tone color and
line, the original idea takes on
a life Of its own. Beginning as
an embryo, it literally natures
under your very eyes.
Although the piano is deeply
involved in proceedings, IN
cantation" is anything but an
orthodox concerto. 1t is, rather,
a sort Of symphonic poem (far
removed from the composers
more familiar essays in neo-
classicism, incidentally for or
chestra and piano. Martinu's
exquisite sense of orchestral
color has never been displayed
to better advantage.
To my ears, this work sounds
like a profoundly original COM
position-the equivalent, per-
haps in Martinu's career, to
Bartok's Concerto for Orches-
ira"
After the intermission, Mr.
Firkusny turned to a simpler
and more ingratiating score
The pianist is just about the
only major artist around who
still plays the Dvorak concerto
and while I doubt that any one
would seriously claim that it is
one Of Dvorak's best pieces-it
is long, architecturally inept
and interminably repetitious =
1t does contain many for
shadowings Of the great com.
