Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
Rachmaninoff Please
Crowd With His
Technique
By John Bondeson, c'unel
Students in the University
received a rare treat last night in
the person of Rerik Gergelenmann,
celebrated Russian pianist. In a program composed largely of selections in minor moods, the composer-con-
ductor-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.
NUMBER 94
**Selections in Minor Mood**
The program began with a lightly embellished "Fantasy" for the group, and then a more serious 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 of the evening; it was then followed by selections chosen by Rachmanninfor of his University program were some of his aspect throughout the entire recital. His second group consisted of three men; one was 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 E minor, is the display of fills, lace and decoration.

The remainder of the first halv was devoted to Chopin's Sonata, Op 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a more melodic version, more amenable. The second movement, mucosot, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduced a mood of mournful solomonic tension, and suggests a return to the original theme, rhymic and melodic.
Plays Own Manuscript
After the internship, Rachmaninoff returned to play first his own transcription of Bach's "Prelude," from his violin suite. Here was dissection of a complex piece which accentuated the characteristic style of the composer. The next group was devoted to two of his own compositions, "Dasisies," and an "Ornamental Sketch." His rather moody music was 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 perasion of freeted applause, Rachmaninov returned to his instrument and played the beloved Prelude in it. The audience听了 and firmly, playing it somewhat more slowly than usual. After a final encore, the pianist was permitted to leave, and nearly four thousand persons

The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Llatz, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a raid audience. The Liebsteinaure drama, 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 selection, the Rapsodie No. 12. The latter was a fantastic lyric-like motion.
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. When the box was opened it was found to contain all of the letters of affection given to her or not 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 of
