Revelation in PIaying of H'arp by JEAN FOX "It was. a revelation. to lue to see; what. can actually' bel done with a harp" said a clubmm'n- ber'commenting on the concert presented Wedniesday of iast week by Aiberto Salvi for the Womani's, Club. of Wilmette. Revelation, indeed, the after- noon -proved. for ail whoÔ came unprepared .-to :hear any such, masterful performance as ,Salvi gave.. Although a résident. of Wilmette' the ,"greatest concert, harpist before the public today," as critics cali bim, i8 still unknown to soute in bis own village, and for those' wbo had flot heard him until last-week the program, was nothing less than an eye-opener. Most of us bave listened to harp music of one kind or another upon various occasions, but to associate Salvi with these artists is the same as mnistaking paste diamonds for real Tbe flash and show may aIl be there in the imitation. To the discerning musical ear, however, Salvi alone seems to bave the crisp, exact touch, the de.pth and the ' forceful harmony of the genius. Salvi's tones are clear, individual, and round. He sweeps over the widest ranges -%ith unifom cor- rectness, and iuhether lingering over slow movements, or hastefling the rapid ones, exhibits an ýease and smoothness so casual that strain and effort appear to be handicaps whicb he bas neyer known. Composer as well as barpist, Salvi placed on the program several of bis own numbers -. "Valse de Concert,",' "The Fountain" and "Fantasie (do Mineur)" Zabel-Salvi,. The fancy of the audience was taken especially .by "The Fountain," quite a departure from the ordinary in its strange originality.
