Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
Rachmaninoff Please
Crowd With His
Technique
By John Bondeson, cured
Students in the University received a rare treat last night in the person of Sergei Rachmaninoff, celebrated 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 warmth and feeling for color that explains the reason for his many years of unparalleled popularity.
Selection in Minor Mode
The program begin with a lightning flash, 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 of the melody, followed by With the exception of three, the selections chosen by Rachmaninov for his university program were some what melancholy and, suggestive of his aspect throughout the entire recital. His second piece was Seaforth. 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 minor direction, with the major, was a brief display of frills, lace, and decoration.
The remainder of the first half was devoted to Chipin's Opus. 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a more melancholic, morable. The second movement, muscoste, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduction a mood of mournful solemnity, in which the final figure is returned to the original theme, rythmic and melodic.
Plays Own Manuscript
Popular Band to Campus
After the internship, Rachmaninov returned to play first his own transcription of Bach's "Prelude," from his violin suite. Here was dissection of a piece in 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 mournful version was attributed by the curious minor strains.

The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Liazt, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. The Liebsteinraum, with its colorful, 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 selec-tion, with the latter seemed to be suggestive of a fantastic gypsy-like motion.

An all-time, all-star Kansas football team was also picked in 1934, the selectors on this occasion being the Kansas coaching staff. The all-time football team did not contain nearly as many players of the last twenty-five years as had been the case in basketball. Three of the players competed before the turn of the century.

In addition to the great performances Dr. John Outland turned in for the university on the playing field during his school days, Dr. Outland has also contributed more to the development of at least since that time. It was Outland who first conceived the idea of a Kansas Relays and he has been known as the "Father of the Kansas Relays Board." The official board and at all times has shown an avid interest in the welfare of Kansas athletics.
Glenn Cunningham is probably the best known Jayhawker athlete
of all time. He has run in every section of the United States, in most of the countries in Europe and Japan. He has, at one time or another, held world records in five or six events. At the present time his best known records are in the mile, indoor and outdoors.
Several Jayhawk football stars have competed for the West team in the annual East-West all-star game played at the Coliseum. Most of them were Dick Sklar, 36.
Kansas has risen and fallen in athletes over the span of 25 years but the average has been very high. Without special emphasis on athletics the Joyhawkers have maintained a high standard of excellence.
