COMPOSER'S WORK PLAYED BY WIFE
Mrs. MacDowell Renders Husband's Compositions in Concert Saturday Night
To hear Mrs. MacDowell is to hear really the foremost of American composers, Edward A. MacDowell. For life association with the man, MacDowell, has impressed Mrs. MacDowell with the querities and peculiarities of the composer. His incisions in the music editions are played by Mrs. MacDowell in the way MacDowell himself played them.
The program played by Mrs. Mac-Dowell Saturday evening to a good Saturday evening audience was a combination of the favorite works of her husband—the nature studies—and his less fortunate compositions which express no experience in the life of the composer—the sonatas. Especially in the Sonata Tragicia it is the lack of articulation in the composition brought out. But the atmosphere by the work in the bass notes was wonderful.
MUSIC HAS DOMINANT FEATURE
"The Monologue" from Op. 31 presented a monotonous, yet pleasing tone poem. It was interpreted in a variety of ways. And there is a dominant feature in the works of Mac Dowell. Perfect mastery of tonal expression, eloquent, slow, with the melody in one hand—these are some of the characteristics brought out in the interpretation by composers and painters in "Woodland Sketches" and "Fireside Tales", Op 11, that made these compositions the favorites of the evening. Much difference was shown in the two works, "To a Water Lily" and "The Nature of the nature side of life, dearest to Mac Dowell. The first is slow and stately, and easy; the latter has a swift, swinging action. In "The Eagle," the pianist interpreted exuberantly the bass lines of fall of the eagle in comparison to the fall of a thunderbird.
**INTERPRETS GERMAN SPIRIT**
The effect of German romanticism and German customs forces itself on the character of the novel. "From a German Forest" speaks of the German martial spirit, German concissence, German heaviness, and German slowness. "Dr or Rabbit" is the title of Dr. Tales's reading of many fairy tales.
Preceding the recital Mrs. Mac Dowell worked in the Mac Dowell Memorial Association.
The University women of the Epworth League of the First Methodist Church entertained the men of the Church with a leap year party Friday night.
