FOUR THE CORSICANA, (TEXAS) DAILY SUN. TUESDAY, MARCH 1, CORSICANA'S LARGEST CIVIC MUSIC AUDIENCE AT CONCERT TO HEAR FOUR-PIANO GROUP. By MBS LYNNE A. WOBTHAM Soil Society Editor Ensemble piano playing at its finest was heard at Corsicana High School Auditorium Monday even- Ing when the Pour Piano Ensemble concluded the 1948-49 Civic Mu- Blc season in a brilliant and stimulating manner. Displaying out- atandlng technical ability, tonal finesse and a fine concept of entertainment, the four pianists smiled and played their way into the hearts of the largest audience ever assembled to hear a Corsicana Civic Music program.

In a varied and Interesting program, the artists Invested their work with such bravura that it won ovation after ovation. Stephen Kovacs undoubtedly provided the inspiration for his collaborators, Audrey Kooper, Hans Heldemann and Sylvia Dickler. The sparkling and spectacular arrangements were his own, and he was the cynosure of all eyes during the "Back to Broadway" program. The beauty of his hands was rivalled only in those of Miss Sylvia Dickler, one of the most serious members of the Ensemble. Yet across from them were pretty Mian Audrey Kooper and young Hans Heldemann, who were oblivious to their audience as they contributed their share to the seemingly one massive piano voice.

Those who had predicted an overbalanced volume of sound from the four pianos were agreeably surprised, since passages as light and airy as lace were frequent Miss Dickler, "the lady in red, 1 was an attractive picture as she over the keyboard, and the charming Miss Kooper In a green formal completed the feminine portion of the Ensemble. Hans Heidemann was also a compeletent participant in the evening's success but it was the towering concert master, Stephen Kovacs, who held the undivided attention of the big audience as he led his co-artists through an evening of exciting performances of his own dazzling transcriptions. Interpretative Imagination. Endowed with interpretative imagination and the capacity to express It, including the flylngest fingers one ever saw, the pianists opened their program with an Impressive rendition of "Organ Concerto In Minor" by Wilhelm Frledemann Bach. With the four performers combining their talents, it was literally overwhelming and brought an appreciative re- from the listeners.

Mozart- ean genius was strikingly demonstrated in the artists' interpretation of "Eine Kleine Nachtmusic," and Salnt-Saens' "Variations on a Theme by Beethoven" was an outstanding technical and tonal achievement for four keyboards. Khatchatourian's controversial "Sabre Dance" was anything but boogie-woogie, but the audience's response was just as electric as if It had been. Kovacs fairly sparkled and other members of the En- came to life just as if someone had shouted "swing it." They did anyway. Those whose appreciation of Bach and Mozart is limited swayed to the lilting rhythms of the. "Fledermaus "Waltzes" of Johann Strauss and brought further applausive approbation to 'the Interpreters.

Rhythm Session. In Rlmsky-Korsakov's "The Flight of the Bumblebee," the bass from Stephen Kovacs as Inspiration for the other three pianists. But it took the exciting rhythmic zest of J. P. Johnson's "Broadway and Forty-Second Street" to bring down the house.

The applause that followed was deafening and the artists were forced to repeat the selection. A number of an entirely different type that found especial favor with the audience was the adroit Kovacs transcription of the "Largo al factotum" aria from Rossini's "Barber of Seville." so contagious In its rioffeus mirth and so gaily and sparkingly played, that it was considered one of the high points of the evening. Treated with a keen awareness of piano ensemble possibilities, the concluding tour de force, "Rou- manian Rhapsody No. 1" by Georges Enesco brought further acclaim for the subtle craftsmanship of Mr. Kovacs as an arranger, and the virtuosity of his keyboard col leagues, and left the audience clamoring for more and more.

In response to tremendous applause, the artists returned to play Chopin's "Nocturne in Flat Major." "Beer Barrel Polka," Tschal- "Waltz Serenade" and Mozart's "Rondo alia Turca." Stelnway Grands. The four big Steinway grands used for the concert travel around the country in a specially constructed, vibration-proof truck. They arrived In Corsicana Saturday afternoon from Dallas where the Ensemble appeared at McFarlin Auditorium Friday evening, and were immediately placed on the Corsicana High School stage for local practice sessions by the pianists. The pianos left early Tuesday morning for Corpus Chrls- ti where the Ensemble will present another incomparable program on Wednesday evening. The Corsicana concert proved a thrilling climax to the local Civic Music Concert season, and a gentle reminder to all members to heed the plea of W.

P. McCammon, Association president, to enroll again at once in order to assure the city another year of splendid musical attractions. Redden-Loftis Rites Announced Mr. and Mrs. D.
