PRETZEL The program presented by the Little Symphony Orchestra at New Trier auditorium last Monday evening, which consisted mostly of modern numbers, was extremely musicianly. The eve- ning opened with Bach's "Prelude, Chorale and Fugue," which went at a good gait and wound up to a clean, strong ending. For the first time in Chicago--and so far as could be determined, in America, -- Malipiero's "Variations Without Theme," for piano and or- chestra, was performed. It is an odd, short piece, consisting of one state- ment after another, woven together in an obscure, teasing fashion. Mr. Leo Sowerby, who played the piano part so excellently, explained the piece, and likened it to a terse epigram. The orchestra and Mr. Sowerby played with spirit and humor, and they answered the applause of a good humored, if not quite convinced, audience, with a repetition. As a contrast to the rather sharp, staccato effect of Malipierols work, Mr. Dasch had chosen for the third number the soft, impressionistic tone- pictures of Debussy's Prelude to "The Afternoon of a Faun." Those who care for the exquisite, liquid harmon- ies of this modern composer, recog- nized the expert and subtle treatment which was given the piece. The or- chestra made its way through the yeilding ecstacies of Debussy with an understanding, delicate touch that was thoroughly charming. In playing the Dukas' Scherzo, "I Apprenti Sorcier," the orchestra tripped along gaily, catching the lu- dicrous, dismayed tone of the piece. Mr. Sowerby appeared again, in "Prelude and Toccata for Piano and String Orchestra" which he has adapted from part of an adagio and a complete toccata for harpischord by the famous English composer, Pur- cell. Mr. Sowerby, appearing for the first time on the Orchestral associa- tion programs, displayed the musical feeling and technical skill that have made him so well-liked in America. The co-operation between the orches- tra and him was all one could desire. In response to the enthusiasm of the audience, Mr. Sowerby played the de- lightfully melodious third movement of his own suite "From the Northland." Sandwiched in between this and the last number, "Capriccio Espagnol," by Rimsky-Korsakow, was the lyrical and ever-liked "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes," played very tenderly. The last number was brilliantly done, and kept a clean rhthym throughout. Reports of the afternoon concert are that Frances Anderson, pianist, did good work in Mendelssohn's "Cap- riccio Brillante," and that the entire program showed that the orchestra is steadily gaining in interpretation, technical skill and finish.
