Heifetz Treats Full House to. Great Music

Violinist Inspires Symphony to Fine Mozart Rendition

Heifetz as soloist with Sevitzky and the Symphony.

The program, to be repeated at

3 p. m. today, is something no | music enthusiast can afford to miss,

For Mr. Heifetz has brought to possible degree of

and enormously facile style with which he startled musicians 30 years ago. It would take a long

| |essay to attempt analysis of that

style. Words - are misleading in a hasty description, partly because a great deal more than words goes into Mr, Heifetz’' playing. The tremendously complex neuro muscular activity. that produces the right tone, the right accent,

fi |the right kind of progress from

note to note, plus the flawless

¥ [taste that rules out the slightest

exaggeration of pathos — such things have to be heard, not read

-tabout.

In the Mozart Concerto No. 4 in D (substituted at the last

* moment for the previously an- * nounced Concerto No. 7),

Mr. Heifetz again demonstrated what a great artist can do with great music. Mozart, perhaps more than any other composer, needs fine performance. . Heifetz Inspires Symphony There's no doubt he inspired the Symphony. The orchestra last night did as fine a job as I've ever heard them ‘do in the Mozart

accompaniment. And that sugfe ote argument for D-Day

effort in the Symphony's financial {campaign starting tomorrow. Just as the Symphony needs a Helfetz now and then to give the orchestra musicians a shot in the arm, the community needs the Symphony. Fer .the Symphony musicians can inspire the kids in high school orchestras, Dr. Sevitzky opened his program with a first local performance of Haydn's Symphony" No. 22 in E flat—fine, satisfying stuff and exceedingly well done. After intermission came the familiar excerpts from Mendelssohn's “Midsummer Night's Dream” music, also well done and well received. The “close-the-show” clause in Mr. Heigetz' contract made it impossible for me to hear him in the Prokofieff G minor Concerto, which he introduced in this coun-

ganist.
