Chamber Series Shines On Shostakovitch Piece
Page 3
By Tom Winston
The chamber music concert by the University String Quartet Wednesday night was disappointing at the beginning and delightful at the end.
About 350 persons heard the Quartet play the Beethoven Quartet in A Minor, Op. 132, and the Shostakovitch Piano Quintet, Op. 57. The Shostakovitch was as delightful as the Beethoven was disappointing.
THE QUARTET IS composed of Raymond Cerf, professor of string instruments, first violin; Theodore Johnson, assistant professor of organ and theory, second violin; Karel Blaas, associate professor of string instruments, viola, and Raymond

The Beethoven had some nice spots in it, notably some duetting between Prof. Blaas and Prof. Stuhl in the finale. But the beginning was beset with intenation and ensemble problems.

THE BEETHOVEN quartet, one of the longest in string quartet literature, ran 50 sometimes excruciating minutes.
The Shostakovitch quintet, dating from 1940, sparkles. It has some lovely muted string passages, a scherzo that churns in merrily, and a finale that lilts and stomps.
Prof. Roy Hamlin Johnson, the pianist, played like one possessed in the scherzo and finale. He was entirely sympathetic to the wit inherent in the music. His tone is sharp and brittle when he wants it to be, but never distorted.
A PIANO IS almost never muted, as a stringed instrument frequently is. That is why it was remarkable that Prof. Johnson actually was able to produce muted sounds at the piano in the muted string passages.
The Quartet played like a different ensemble in the Shostakovich quintet. Nearly all the imperfections that marred the Beethoven were gone.
