Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
NUMBER 94
A
Rachmaninoff Pleases Crowd With His Technique
By John Bondeson, c'ucl
Students in the University
received a rare treat last night in the
person of Sergel Rushmanoff, elec-
tional professor at the Gram
gram composed largely of selections
in minor moods, the composer-con-
duitor-pianist displayed a virtuosity
seldom heard on this campus, and a
student with an interest in music
explains the reason for his many
 years of unparalleled popularity.
Selections in Minor. 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 composer 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 recital. His second group was focused on the main theme. Coeffetti. The first, in D major, is 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 second, when in major, was a brief display of frills lice, and decoration.
The remainder of the first halw 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 movement that was more morable. 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 finale suggested a restful original theme, rythmic and melodic.
Plays Own Manuscript
Plays Own Manuscript After the internship, Rachmaninoff returned to play first his own transcription of Bach's "Proude," from "The Sonata." He was dissatisfied a brisk form of touch 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 moody disposition was well illustrated by the curious minor strains.
The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Lisiot, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. The Liebsteinaugue 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 Raporte. The latter be suggestive of a gigantic fantasy-like motion.
Plays C-Sharp Minor Prelude
The program over, the pianis,
least the stage, but the audience
felt that something was yet lacking.
So upon the persuasion of frenzied and
toilous musicians to help
his instrument and played the beloved Prelude in C-Sharp Minor.
He attacked it very nicely and,
playing it somewhat more slowly
than usual. After a final encore
the pianist was permitted to leave,
and nearly four thousand person

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.

Grads Salute-later, it seems that the "collar button up" is not quite so important for a good newspaper man as that part of the body from the knees down.

That night I called up members of the Kansas board and told them that they were overlooking the best story in years and suggested that they come up to the Kansas office. I had a front page layout completed, with a two-inch streamer reading Starts the Year Pictures it app- uled the fellows and they got busy, as a copy in your old files will indicate.

"It's a funny thing about the stadium. I never saw it after it was built until a few years ago when Professor Flint called me back to appear on a Journalism Week program."
The Washington correspondent of the Kansas City Star recalls his student days at K.U.:
"I remember a talk by Bill White to our class under Mr. Flint, in 1905 or 1906, admonishing us that if we were to become good newspaper men we must learn to function from the collar button up. For many years I doubted the soundness of the advice, as I found that the most useful appendages to a reporter were the legs; and even today, thirty years
"Thirty years will have elapsed next June since I was graduated from the University of Kansas, and it is no longer a part of my experiences in the school of journalism.
"The greatest thrill I had in the journalism class was the request from Mr. Flint to turn in news items
for use in the old Lawrence World. My piece was printed; but it came out in the editorial column rather than the news column. It gave me a thrill anyway, seeing my first article in print.

Bell Brothers Pianos
Are Made for Discriminating Musicians and are sold where really artistic pianos are appreciated
Bell Brothers Piano Co. Lawrence, Kansas
Gentlemen — I had the pleasure of using one of your pianos several months later and noticed the effect which your interposed spring produced in the action. It gives the keys a pliability u i d e r - the instrument, that is very desirable.
One important point in tone production which I find it hard to develop is that in order to bring out a strong tone of emotion, you need to have a certain style whose shoulder should yield or spring a little, just as the key is struck. The simple little invention of yours helps to accom
I believe also that your spring will increase the durability of an action by relieving some of the parts of the sudden shock which they have heretofore been compelled to stand.
Yours respectfully,
