Large Audience Hears Quartet In Chamber Music Concert
By GENE HALL
Despite adverse weather conditions yesterday, a large crowd gathered in Strong auditorium to hear one of the finest Chamber Music concerts of the season. $ \textcircled{*} $
The noted Amadeus Quartet of London performed the Haydn "Quartet in F Major, Opus 77, No. 2," the Mozart "Quartet in D Minor, K. 421," and the Brahms "Quartet in C Minor, Opus 51, No. 1."
The Brahms quartet seemed to be the favorite offering on the program. The many difficulties in this composition were handled with foremost confidence. The broad melodic lines of the second and third movements and the contrapuntal textures of the first are among the most a masterpiece in quartet literature.
a first piece of music.
The rhythm, written originally for flute and piano but transcribed for strings by the composer was performed with exact precision, perfect balance, and flowless conception.
The Mozart quartet was written in conjunction with five other string quartets and dedicated to Mozart's
contemporary, Haydn. This particular work is considered to be more dramatic in effect than the majority of Mozart's quartets.
The first movement presented many contrasts in dynamics, which the group handled very effectively. The high point, however, was reached in the pizzicato section of the third movement, which decidedly pleased the enthusiastic audience.
For an encore the ensemble performed the "Italian Serenade" by Hugo Wolf.
Price to Lead Discussion
The Amadeus Quartet will be heard again this evening at 8 p.m. in Strong auditorium.
Dr. Edwin Price, professor of religion, will lead the Faculty forum discussion at Tuesday noon at the Faculty club. His subject will be "Some Marks of Religious Maturity."
