Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
图
Rachmaninoff Please s Crowd With His Technique
By John Bondeson, c'uncl
By John Bondeson, cunei
Students in the University received a rare treat last night in the perennial favorite of the Russian pianist. In a program composed largely of selections in minor moods, the composer-conductor-pianist displayed a virtuosity seldom heard on this campus, and a pianist who is well-versed explains the reason for his many years of unparalleled popularity.
Selection(s) in Minor Bass.
The first selection, with a lightly embellished "Fantasie," by Haydn. 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 for a second evening. With the exception of three, the selections chosen by Rachmaninoff for his University program were some what melancholy and sad, suggestive of his aspect throughout the entire composition. Four of three sonatas by Scarlatti. The first, in D major, was 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 middle section in E major, was a brief display of frills, lace, and decoration.
The remainder of the first half was devoted to Chopin's Sonate, Op. 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a melodic pattern. The second movement, musesto, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduced a mood of mournful solemnity, but the fine suggested a reiterated original theme, rythmic and melodic.

Anson Weeks' Band To Play for Junior Prom
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1937
Virginia Taylor happily announced to her Gamma 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. When the box was opened it was found to contain all of the old letters of affection given to her gift other than an explanatory letter from the friend telling that he had never loved anyone as much as Virginia, and in the next breath saying that he had a new girl and was going steady The letter closed with this bit o

Plays Own Manuscript
Continued on page three
After the intermission, Rachmann-inoff returned to play first his own transcription of Bach's "Prelude," from his violin suite. Here was disjunction in tone, with which accentuated the characteristic style of the composer. The next group was devoted to two of his own compositions, "Daissie," and an "Oriental Sketch." His rather moody interpretation is instigated by the curious minor strains.
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 frzened applause, Rachmaninoff returned to his instrument and played the first few notes. 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

OVER THE HILL
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 Liebstraeume color, full of feeling and beauty. He treated it as a rare bit of bifrag china. Following, was the Valse Oublize, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selection, the Raimondi. The latter is to be suggestive of a fantastic ones-like motion.
