Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
NUMBER 94
Rachmaninoff Please
Crowd With His
Technique
By John Bosden, c'unel Students in the University received a rare treat last night in the person of Sergiu Rermanoff, eleventh-year student at the Gram composed largely of selections in minor moods, the composer-conductor-pianist displayed a virtuosity seldom heard on this campus, and a pianist who has explained the reason for his many years of unparalleled popularity.
Selection in Minor Mood
The program began with a lightly embellished book by Hirschman of the first group was devoted to a selection, minor in mood, entitled "Melodie," written by Wicklund-Gsambati. Here was the first suggestion of the predominant mood of the evening. He then wrote his own selections for his University program were some what melancholy and sad, suggestive of his aspect throughout the entire rectral. His second group consisted of a collection of first appearances, in first, D major, as a sprigely, well executed, deft air, suitable for a display of nimble fingers. The second, in E minor, possessed varied tempos, but again in the minor mood, the second major, was a brief display of frills, face, and decoration.
the remainder of the first halt was devoted to Chopira's Sonate, Op. 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later rewritten in a second movement and memorable. The second movement, maestroso, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduced a mood of mournful solace, the finale suggested a return to the original theme, rythmic and melodic.
Plays Own Manuscript
After the intermission, Bachmann-infurnished to play first his own transcription of Bach's "Prelude," from his violin suite. Here was dissection of a passage which accentuated the characteristic style of the composer. The next group was devoted to two of his own compositions, "Daisie," and an "Or-imental Sketch." His rather moody music was instigated by the curious minor strains.
The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Llust, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. The Liebsteraum color, full of feeling and beauty. He treated it as a rare bit of fragile china. Following, was the Valse Oubliee, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selection, the Rapsopide, No. 12. The last selection of a fantastic gypsy-like motion.
Plays C+Sharp Minor Prelude
The program over, the pianist left the stage, but the audience felt that something was yet lacking. So upon the persuasion of fricken aplaume, Rachmaninoff returned and he played for the second Prelude in G-Sharp Minor. He attacked it vigorously and firmly, playing it somewhat more slowly than usual. But their unbelievable performance was permitted to leave, and nearly four thousand persons
