UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XXXIV The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas 图 NUMBER 94 Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience Rachmaninoff Please s Crowd With His Technique By John Bondeson, c'unel By John Bolsonberg, cute students in the University received the Renaissance award in the position of Sergei Rechnmannoff, a celebrated Russian pianist. In a program composed largely of selections in minor moods, the composer-conductor-pianist displayed a virtualism sidemoon on this campus, and he showed that he explains the reason for his many years of unparalleled popularity. **Selections in Minor . . .** The program began with a lightly enclosed "audience," by Heyn. The rest of the first group was devoted to a selection, minor in mood, entitled "Melodie," which was written by Gluck-Sgambati. Here was the first suggestion of the predominant mood; the third, in three of the selections chosen by Rachmaninoff for his University program were somewhat melancholy and sad, suggestive of his aspect through the entire recital. His second group consisted of two members, one in first, in D major, a sprightly, well executed, deft air, suitable for a display of nimble fingers. The second, in E minor, possessed varied tempos, but again in the minor theme. The last one, a sonata in B minor, provides decoration of fills, lace, and decoration. The remainder of the first half was devoted to Chopi's Sonate, Op. 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a second movement that was more morable. The second movement, mastose, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduced a mood of mournful solemnity, but the final suggested a real original theme, rythmic and melodic. Plays Own Manuscript After the intermission, Rachmann-inoff returned to play first his own transcription of Bach's "Prelude," from his violin suite. Here was dissection of the composition, which accentuated the characteristic style of the composer. The next group was devoted to two of his own compositions, "Daisies," and an "Oriental Sketch." His rather muddly disposition was illustrated by a curious minor strings. Plays C-Sharn Minor Prelude Plays C-Swarp Minor Prelude the stage, the pianist left the stage, and the audience felt that something was yet lacking. So, upon the persuasion of freemanded applause, he sank into his instrument and played the beloved Prelude in C-Swarp Minor. He attacked it viciously and firmly, playing it somewhat more slowly than usual. After a final encore the pianist was permitted to leave and nearly four thousand person Continued on page three The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Lizzt, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. The Liebstraume colorful, full of feeling and beauty. He treated it as a rare bit of fragile chima. Following, was the Valse Oulhie, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selection. The latter seemed to be suggestive of a fantastic gypsy-like motion. on the SHIN by Kenneth Morris Virginia Taylor happily announced to herGamma Phi sisters that she had received a valentine gift from her boy friend in a distant town, and showed them the large box as proof.
