LAWRENCE J. HAYES AMY NEILL QUARTET PLEASES AT SKOKIE Sunday Afternoon Tea Program Affords Hour of Unusually Delightful Music By Rutheda L. Pretzel The Amy Neill string quartet, which gave the last of the Sunday afternoon musicales at Skokie Country club on Sunday, September 25, was exception- ally enjoyed by the members of the club and music loving residents of the north shore, who have been getting into the habit of drifting leisurely into the club for an hour of relaxation on a Sunday just before tea. The program arranged by Miss Neill contained only orthodox, dyed-in-the- wool numbers, vet all except the first group were chosen for their pleasing melodies and harmonies. It was a pro- gram that suited the soft gray dav out- side and the mellow firelight inside. Every number was played very mus- ically. Some instrumental quartets and sextets produce a good orches- tral tone, have perfect rhythm, and yet miss that indefinable cuality of being musical. The Amy Neill quartet, con- sisting of first and second violin, viola and 'cello, had the well-knit, fine or- chestral tone and the <ense of rhythm, vet it added a musical touch--a com- bination that made i's performance well nigh perfect. Play Haydn Numbers As a bow to the more academic side of music, the quartet played four movements of Havdn's "Quartette in D Major," for the first group. The de- licate gradations of tone color and rhythm were beautifully handled. Tt is the kind of music the quartet will play at its debut in Kimball hall in October, and which shows what they can do in technic and interpretation. The second group contained Ditters- dorf's "Andante," Mendelssohn's "Can- zonetta," Mozart's "Andante," and "Scherzo," by Tschaikowsky. Through all the nuances of light and shade the quartet played with a sure, exquisitely delicate touch. Schumann's graceful "Abenlied," in the second group, was played with muted strings. It was fol- lowed by Albeniz' "Tango," which was delightfully subdued, as if one stood outside of a house, listening to music played behind closed windows. As an ending, the quartet played "Molly on the Shore," by Percy Grainger, who is always cheerful and virile. So spon- taneously appreciative was the ap- plause, it had to be done over. An- other encore played during the after- noon was "Minuet," by Boccherine. Well Known Abroad Miss Amy Neill plaved first violin, Stella Roberts plaved second violin, Charlotte Polak, viola, and Lois Bichl. 'cello. All are fine musicians and have already received success throughout this country and abroad. Tt was a pro- gram well worth hearing. Mr. and Mrs. Harold D.
