Concert brings out emotion of master's works
By BILLCALVERT
Staff Writer
A masterful showcase of musical technique and emotion was provided last night by pianist Gary Graffman in a concert before 1,000 people in Hoch Auditorium.
Graffman, who won the prestigious Leventitron competition in 1949, is the third pianist to be an artist in residence at the University of Kansas School of Fine Arts.
The showcase started with "Sonata in C Minor" by Franz Schubert. Melancholy passages characterized by glassy runes of the right hand clashing with ominous rumblings of the left set the original mood of a piece that captured the essence of the tragic life of its composer. Schubert led a life of poverty and sickness in his last years
and died at the peak of his creativity at the age of 31.
Review
"The problem with Schubert is to make an architect's whole of the disjointed sec- tions feel like they are earlier yesterday." "The emotions change more than they should and that's why it's so difficult to keep it as one whale. The audience is conscious of the fact a piece is lost."
NO ONE in the audience seemed to notice the length of the piece, which was about 25 inches long.
THE MOOD OF the piece wasn't totally one of depression. The second and third movements gave occasional buoyancy to the music, while the fourth and bouncy dance rhythms, which were beautifully executed by Graffman. But these always lapsed back into sadness and turbulence with awkward transitions in rhythm and fall with a new one taking its place.

of Graftman's "architects whole" and the warmly, applauded at the end of the peace.
Sharp contrasts in texture marked the entire piece, which switched frequently from the clear, passionate notes of the soft bass to the bold, emphatic chord composition of the climactic passages.
warmly applauded at the end of the piece. The variety continued in the next piece, "Variations on a Theme by Paganini" by Johannes Brahms. It opened softly like a nullaily and built to a thick textured tempest followed by an anticlimax of intricate runs, which Graffman did well throughout the concert.
GRAFFMAN SAID THE Brahms' piece was a collection of studies that employed almost every kind of technical problem on the piano. The beauty of Graffman's performance made the variations sound like anything but a collection of technical problems.
"Sonata No. 3 in A Minor" by Serge Prokofiev gave a new setting to the concert in the form of hard marital passages, which Graffman described as sounding "like an angry young man." The angry young man's lighter side was also displayed in the piece as interspersed serene and flighty melodies.
Several short works of Rergi Machaninoff capped the concert. These included Two Preludes, "Barcarolle," and Three Etudes Tableaux. These pieces had the greatest beauty of any in the program. The works were a significant romanticism of Rergianne's compositions.
THE BEST PART of these was the runs that Graffman executed with clarity and delicacy like waterfalls. Graffman's playing here, as well as in the Chopin
preludes he played in the encore, left a lasting impression on the audience of the thoughtfulness and emotionalism of his style.
