THURSDAY, DEC. 2, 19 New Artist To Be Heard
In Concert
Simon Barer, Pianist, Will Play With Symphony
In Two Programs.
First hearings of a new artist and a new American composition are awaiting Indianapolis audiences in the Symphony Orchestra’s second pair of concerts at 3:30 p. m. tomorrow and 8:30 p. m. Saturday in the Murat. The artist who is to make his local debut is Simon Barer, Russian pianist. Although this is only Mr. Barer’s third season in the United States, he is established already among the foremost of contemporary pianists. Glowing praises from the European press testified to his attainments before his arrival, and subsequent New York appearances have confirmed them. Mr. Barer is to be heard as soloist in Tschaikowsky’s Concerto in EB Flat Minor. This is the first of two piano concertos from the Russian composer's pen, although the second is almost forgotten. The work on tomorrow’s program, however, long since has passed into the standard repertory, and remains
throughout the years a favorite of |§
both virtuosos and listeners. Converse’s Composition
The new American work is Frederick Converse’s “American Sketch€s,” an orchestral suite containing four movements: “Manhattan,” “Father of Waters,” “Chicken Reel” and “Bright Angel Trail.” Its composer is a member of the so-called “New England School” of American musicians, though his work does not bear the group's usual conservative stamp, A New Englander by birth and early training, Mr. Converse went from the composition classes of John Howard Payne at Harvard to those of Joseph Rheinberger in Germany. There is little remnant today, however, of the strict 19th Century style of these musicians in their former pupil’s work. Now in his middle 60s, Mr, Converse has kept pace with the musical procession. He has written extensively in the larger forms, and his list of works contains symphonies, operas, oratorios and orchestral suits, as well as chamber music and compositions in the smaller forms.
Section Augmented
Mr. Converse’s music is characterized by technical ingenuity, freedom of harmony and brilliant orchestral coloring. For the “American Sketches” a battery of percussion instruments is called for, and the section has been augmented to six members. In addition to the tympani, the score requires bass and snare drums, cym- | bals, triangle, glockenspiel, c:zlesta and organ, Harry Danziger, a member of the first vieclin section is to preside at | the celesta and electric organ, which | has been installed for the performance, Marjorie Call, the orchestra's new harpist, is to be joined by Ruth Thrasher of the viola section, who is

Odeon Recital Features
Artists From Symphony
Jules Salkin and James Hosmer Are Soloists on Program; Marie Zorn Delights With Piano Contributions.
The viola, forgotten man of the string family, and the flute, com- | panion of coloraturas, emerged as solo instruments in a recital at the | Odeon last night. The artists were Jules Salkin and James Hosmer, firstchair Indianapolis Symphony players and faculty members at the Jordan Conservatory, under whose auspices the performance was given. It was an evening of delightful ®
lart’ s pen; the “Scene” from Gluck’s
music, though for the most part unfamiliar., However, great names that are household words stood aft-
er many of the compositions—Bach, |g. he B Minor Suite. Handel, Gluck, Mozart and Brahms, |
The viola, almost as impoverished |
in literature as it is rich in tonal | Rootham, beauty, was represented by music of | Sarabande and Jig. This was fresh Mr. Salkin and Marie | Zorn, pianist, opened the program |show Mr. Hosmer’s instrument and
distinction.
with the Allegro appassionato movement from Brahms’ Sonata in F Minor, Opus 120. This is the first of two sonatas written originally for clarinet. It is an example of Brahms’ magnificent writing for that instrument at the close of his career. The music in question is of lofty inspiration and intense, somber
beauty. Play Handel's Works
Miss Zorn and Mr. Salkin made their second appearance in the B Minor Concerto by Handel. The work is Handel at his best, with healthy, exhilarating allegro movements and an Andante of exquisite beauty. The last viola and piano contribution was a Sonata by Wassilenko, a contemporary Russian. It is pleasant, easily assimilated music, but overburdened with the well-ordered “sturm und drang” of the Rhein-berger-Reinecke school.
The violist seemed most at home |
in the Brahms and Wassilenko compositions. There was some rather disconcerting bowing in the Concerto, particularly the slow movement, and an apparent nervousness played tricks with memory and intonation at times. Miss Zorn's piano playing was accurate, sensitive and scholarly throughout. At times, however, her fortes rather overpowered the piano’s soft-toned companion.
Beauty in Tones
As a soloist, Mr. Hosmer heightened his already excellent reputation as an orchestra player. There was unfailing beauty of tone, tech nical deftness and suavity of phrase. His selections, in which he was accompanied by Dorothy Munger, included an Andante from the inexhaustible melodic fountain of Moz-
