In the matter of intonation, nu- |

ance, precision and vitality, however, unqualified credit goes to Mr. Sevitzky, his assistant conductors, the young players and the teachers who have prepared them. One could bring out his set of professional weights and measures on several occasions and receive a full portion from the youthful group. An interesting historical novelty was Albert Stoessels “Early Amerjcana” Suite, an arrangement of four tunes of Revolutionary times, The program notes stated that they had been scored for strings, harp and tympani in 1936 by Mr. Sevitzky. But the conductor's modesty seemed to have triumphed last night, for he chose a scription for full orchestra;

R. SEVITZKY also included on his program the entire “Sigurd Jorsalfar” Suite of Grieg. Its third movement, a March, iS familiar, since it served as the Indianapolis orchestras “signature” on this season's broadcasts. The two preceding parts are Grade A Grieg, and consequently enjoyable. More familiar were Thomas’ “Raymond” Overture, that darling of brass bands and theater orchestras; the Mozart G Minor Symphony, and Glieres “Russian Sailor's Dance.”
