THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
AUDIENCE DELIGHTED BY IGNAZ FRIEDMAN
Artist's Rendition of "Don Juan Fantasy" was Greatly Appreciated
AUDIENCE APPRECIATIVE
Technique and Rendition of Great Pianist Greatly Enjoyed by Music Lovers
Ignes Friedman, famous Polish pianist, delighted a large and appreciative audience last night in Robinson Gymnasium.
Mr. Friedman played without effort, and with serious intent, and his entire program was characterized by an eye toward as to detail, and sure technique.
Chipin's "Sonata,Op.85," especially pleased his hearers. This was shown in a decided manner by audience at the end of the sustained tones of "Largo" and "Large" which were more rapid tempo of the "Finale." Throughout the first three movements of the "Sonata" the audience sat tense and silent, but durnt in the pause between and there was a polite shifting around in seats.
His first number, "Ballet," by Gluck-Friedman, fittingly introduced his program, "Chaumee," by Bach-Busoni followed. In this number, Mr.Friedman attacked the deep, heavy, baza chords bass of the symphony chamber light, fanciful notes of a upper register with a true artist's regard for effective shading.
The two numbers composed by the artist himself, "Etude No. 6" and "Elle Danse" evoked hearty and generous applause. The former was charmingly tuneful and dainty; the latter, well balanced and spirited.
But easily the midst of the "Don Juan Fantasy" by Lizszt, which was substituted for "Campanella." This is one of the most beautiful and difficult of piano compositions, but Mr. Friedman's superb and masterly technique was more than equal to it.
Mr. Friedman responded generously with encounters. He played one at the end of each group of selections, not omitting the last. Many people were leaving the hall when he returned to the platform, after having played the last number on the program, and played again.
GREATER THAN PADEREWSKI
Fine Arts Faculty is Generous in Praise of Artist
A pianist greater than Parderewil is Ignaz Friedman, who gave a recital in Robinson gymnasium last night, according to members of the musical faculty of the School of Fine Arts. They place him as the world's greatest pianist and, in all interviews, his faculty were interviewed that last night's concert was the finest recital they had ever heard.
Robinson gymnasium was well filled with what was probably the most enthusiastic audience it has seen this year. Mr. Friedman was enclosed after each group and if his program had gone terribly badly, the audience would have asked for additional numbers. Perhaps the audience was most strongly impressed by the
last number when, at request, Mr. Friedman substituted for Liast's "Campanella" the "Don Juan Fantasy." In announcing the change of program, Dean Butler spoke of the number as having "created such a furor in Chicago," when Mr. Friedman had rendered it there. It was a most beautiful and difficult composition.
BY THE WAY
Doris Van Noy, c'21, will spend the week-end in Kansas City.
Mr. Friedman's reputation as a colossal technician had preceded him, but less had been said about the musical qualities of his performance.
"An artist is always at his best before such an audience as you had here tonight," said Mr. Friedman at the close of the program in expressing to Dean Butler his appreciation of the attention given him by his audience and the public which followed each of his efforts. Dean Butler stated this morning that, if a proper date be secured, Mr. Friedman would be re-engaged for next year's course. Mr. Friedman left this morning for Linchne, Neh.
