Dukas wrote a great deal of music which was not publish- ed so we are not as familiar with his works, as those of other French musicians. He was a great admirer of Rameau who was one of the foremost French composers . of the 18th century. Choosing ""a theme of Rameau's Dukas, wave his magic spell in Vari- ations, Interlude and Finale. The Variations, were of a tender character, and the domineering quality of their tonal beauty, was brought out by our artist, as he reach- ed the splendor of the dazz- ling Finale.

This section of the programme was, to many, the highlight of the evening. The final number of the programme was Concert Paraphrase of Waltz from '""Naila" by Delibes - Erno Dohnanyi (1877-1968). We are not very familiar with music of this Hungarian composer. His music has a German accent too, and is very intriguing. Our artist gave us moments of sheer delight, with' variety of dynamics, and beautiful can- tabile playing which made us very aware of the artistic effort put into the rendition of this fantastic 'Concert Paraphrase". The audience' rose at the completion of this number to'give Mr. Moss a well - deserved standing ovation. congratulated upon celebrat- ing its 50th Anniversary February 14th.
