July 6, 1921 WILMETTE LIFE I ~ I ( I f, . . Andres Segovi~, Spanish ,guitarist, will be presented next season as soloist in the fourth of the artist recitals sponsored by the Winnetka Music club. Segovia has discovered a new instrument to the music lovers through his versatile technique which makes it a complete music~~ instrument. He ·has proved the guitar an instrument of extraordinary variety and beauty, capable of commanding the respect of the most uncompromising of musicians. On the guitar, Segovia can play trills, scales, arpeggios, and chords as well as on a harp. His performance is far removed from the tinkle of the Hawaiian. His programs favor Bach and include Grieg, Schub~rt, and some of the 104 guitar pieces composed by Paganini during his three year retirement on an island. He also plays compositions by Fernando Sqr, a Spanish guitarist of the early nineteenth century. The compositions for the piano and violin he transcribes himself. Lawrence Gilman, the music critic, says of Segovia's artistry: "His most remarkable achievement is in the de; livery of polyphonic passages, which sing from his guitar with the clarity and independence of movement that one looks for only in the performance of keyboard or vocal or instrumental music, a·nd this clarity of utterance is paired with a beauty and plasticity O'i nuance which could not be easily overpral·sed." Segovia is a Spaniard, born in Granad<f, and has played the guitar prof~ssionally since he was 15. He is now 31 years of age. Although he has studied the theory of counterpoint and harmony, he has never taken guitar lessons. He toured America for six weeks last year and will visit the north shore under the auspices of the Winnetka Music club on his return · next season~ Discovers New V/. S.
