Two Piano Artists Please
As Symphony Soloists
Audience Enjoys Interpretations
Of Mozart Piece, 'Castellana’;
Orchestra Contrasts Bach
By ALICE EVERSMAN.
Two distinguished musicians, Pierre Luboshutz and Genia Nemenoff,
duo-pianists, were the soloists of last evening’s concert by the National
Symphony Orchestra in Constitution Hall. The impression they made
with their highly sensitive Interpretation of the Mozart E flat concerto
and Mary Howe’s ’Castellana” held a distinct note of pleasure on the
audience’s part in the discovery of two artists who bring still another
tl.VlA t.A tha a rf itnA.nfann nU<i_ __
ing. This was the first appearance
of these artists with the National
Symphony although they have been
heard here before at Mrs. Lawrence
Townsend’s- muslcales.
For the orchestra’s share of the
program. Dr. Klndler had chosen a
group of Bach numbers in his own
arrangement, the Adagietto from
Mahler’s "Symphony No. 5” con
cluding with the Tannhauser Over
ture.
Feeling for Vitality of Bach.
Dr. Kindler has a keen feeling
for the tremendous vitality of Bach
and his transcriptions take this into
account. The Grave and Allegro
from the organ "Concerto in G
K” is a gorgeous work, all-em
ig in its sonority and surging
flow of melody. The sweep of this
powerful and noble music seems to
reach beyond the ordinary tonal
horizon and musical dimension. It
is sturdy with a great strength and
richly wholesome with a deep and
righteous feeling. Following this
came the beautiful “Komm, Suesser
Tod” and the Aria and Sinfonla to
Cantata No. 29, "Wlr danken dir.
Gott.” These contrasting works, a
small example of the great versa
tility of Bach, were given a finely
drawn interpretation by the or
chestra whose tonal depth increases
from concert to concert.
This only two-piano concerto
written by Mozart embodies all the
spirited and song-like qualities
which seemed to bubble forth so
freely in this unique composer. It
is full of the effectiveness that
pianists enjoy and the two artists
last evening made the most of it.
Their fluent technique was lightly
controlled with a particularly joy
ous exuberence in the Rondo. Their
reading of the Andante was tender
and poetic, their tone blending im
perceptibly with the woodwinds.
r resented.
Immediately following the inter
mission they were heard again, this
time in the Spanish rhythms of
Mrs. Howe's "Castellana.” The
synopsis, if one might so term it, of
Spanish life which this work based
on four Spanish folk songs gives, is
full of the picturesque, and beauti
fully woven together with construc
tive skill. There is no redundancy
or overemphasis in this writing. It
passes from one mood to another
smoothly, linking them together with
a naturalness that adds to its charm.
Mr. Luboshutz, who played the first
piano in this number, has a fitting
grace and piquancy of touch that
gave, with a slight accent here or
there, the whole character to the
work. Both artists played fcdth fire
and brilliancy and were splendidly
supported by the orchestra in the
fine accompaniment that Mrs. Howe
has written for it.
A bit of exquisitely poetic com
position is the "Adagietto,” from the
“Mahler Symphony/’ the only Mahler
work, if memory serves correctly, to
be played here for some years. There
is a story told by Willem Mengel
berg about this Adagietto worth re
telling. “Mahler told me,” said
Mengelberg, “that he sent the manu
script of the “Adagietto” to Alma
Maria; he meant it as his declara
tion of love. He could find no
words and he hoped that she would
understand. And she did under
stand ” It is, in truth, a love song,
surely one of the most soulful and
tender ever written in music. Its
mood is almost too deep and radiant
for inclusion in a mixed program.
The concert closed with the fa
miliar overture to Wagner’s “Tann
hauser," ending an evening where
interest and artistry never flagged.
German Press Moderates
Drive on Belgians, Dutch
Bt the Aisociated Press.
BRUSSELS. Nov. 0.—Sudden re
laxation of the campaign against
Belgium and the Netherlands in the
German press was noted yesterday
by a foreign office spokesman who
expressed the opinion that the medi
ation offer of King Leopold and
Queen Wilhelmina had gained its
point.
Observers said they felt the offer
would increase the difficulty of any
immediate violation of Belgian or
Netherlands neutrality that might
have been intended by the warring
powers.
Some military precautions, how
ever, have been taken in the last 24
hours, the spokesman said, includ
ing routine calling of several thou
sand men to the colors.
German troop concentrations near
the Netherlands frontier were noted.
The newspaper Le Soir said the
situation was still serious but not
desperate.
“We are at the turning point which
may be decisive for our Immediate
destiny,” it said. “Let us remain
calm and resolute.”

Steam Schooners

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.—Pick

Firemen, Oilers. Watertenders and
Wipers' Association put strike action
into effect against all Pacific Coast
steam schooners.
The union, not affiliated with
either the C. I. O. or A. F. L„ called
a strike yesterday after it had re
jected what the employers called a
“final offer” in negotiations to re
place the work contract which ex
pired September 30.
Walter J. Stack, chairman of the
strike committee, said 250 men—an
average of five union men on each
ship—were directly involved in the
strike and that other schooners
would be tied up as they arrive In
port.
Refusal of the steam schooner
operators to grant the men privi

offshore ships” was given by Union
Secretary V. J. Malone as the chief
reason for the failure In negotia
