For a close, the all but forgotten Johann Nepo-muk Hummel a once famous pianist and composer who studied with Mozart Haydn, Salieri and dementi, and who taught Czerny, Henselt Hiller and Thalberg was revived with his "Grand Septuor Militaire." Involving Cute, clarinet trumpet violin, cello, double-bass and piano (played with great skill by Myrow), the period-piece had moments of archaic charm when the composer was not trying too hard to out-Beethoven Beethoven.

FOX WEST THEATRES soloist In a reedy, colorless voice, tended to reduce the better parts of the score to the level of one more for-mulchbound experiment Dahl's other pupil, Frederick Lesemann, was less hidebound and freer in compositional resource in his Fantasy for Piano Solo, decisively played by David Berfield, to whom the work is dedicated. The music is faintly related to the blues idiom and keeps the pianist incessantly busy at difficult tasks, but in the end proved so discursive that it was hard to discover what the argument was all about Fragments of Poetry Another novelty that arrived nowhere in particular was Girolamo Arrigo's settings of four fragments of Greek poetry translated into Italian.

He was also responsible for this version of the trio.

Haydn originally had given the main burden to the pianist relegating the strings to mere accompanying roles, and following the lead of Tovey, Dahl discreetly distributed the musical material on a more equitable basis to give everyone a fairly equal chance. The result was charming, and the piece was the hit of the evening. Dahl also conducted the nine players required for Frederic Myrow's "Songs From the Japanese," sung by Sylvia Brigham-Dimizi-ani, soprano. The texts are by various Japanese poets and the composer has made no attempt to contrive characteristic exotic colorings. He does at times achieve a certain mood and atmosphere in the instrumental combinations, but his commitment to serial procedures and the jagged vocal line, sung with ease by the "HOST SCI-FI SPECTACLE SINCE 'KING KONG'" I BTWI I flfW MNTMU CAOTOON I I "VITAMm NMT I I Call THEATRE or 937-4100 I.

It has no 6tyle, just awkward staginess, and its tempo is as uneven as its script, an overly-familiar story of the decline and fall of a jazz great. But it is an exciting, entertaining picture (in multiple run) because that jazz man called Adam is Sammy Davi3 Jr. At the very least his performance is bravura, in the manner of that other celebrated Davis, Bette. The screen all but burst3 with his intense talent. It is an awesome experience merely to witness him hold a pause.

Time and again he turns dross into gold, making all false notes ring true. Tremendous Strain As Adam Johnson, he is a famed trumpeter (it's Nat Adderley on the soundtrack) tortured by guilt because his wife and child were killed and a fellow musician blinded in a car accident, 10 years ear Her, Thus, tne tremendous 1 strain "of being an artist and being black is com pounded to the utmost. As a result, he's mean, moody and temperamental and close to cracking up. But Claudia (vibrantly beautiful and gifted Cicely Tyson) believes she can pull him together. She's the granddaughter of a legendary, faded giant of oldtime jazz (played by Louis Armstrong, no less) and has faced the challenge of civil rights demonstrations in the South.

certs have become such an accepted (and frequently controversial) observance in local musical life that it was a little staggering to hear Lawrence Morton casually remark in his welcoming speech that the opening concert in the Bing Center of the County Museum of Art marked the beginning of the 29th season a figure that includes the activities of the organization's predecessor, Evenings on the Roof. It is a remarkable record of courage and persistence and, not incidentally, of genuine achievement The concerts have been, and you may be fairly sure will continue to be, often abrasive and irritating, but at the same time they have also been never less than provocative and instructive and have enlarged everyone's horizon immeasurably in the special field of contemporary and unfamiliar music. Special Andienco They have also acquired a special audience of intelligentsia, a public not to be observed in toto anywhere else, and this segment of the body politic again turned out in full force for the inaugural program under the direction of Ingolf Dahl. Dahl is one of the most versatile musicians to be found anywhere. This occasion found him active as pianist conductor and teacher for two of the young composers repre-sented had been his students in composition-omitting only, with characteristic modesty, his accomplishments as a composer.

Tough Agent Actually, all the music and most of the people are fine, especially Peter Law-ford as a tough booking agent. Armstrong, Ossie Davis and Frank Sinatra Jr. (as Adam's doggedly devoted protege) lend likeable, solid support. Lola Falana and Jeannette Du Bois are a pair of stun ning newcomers, and Mel Torme is on hand for an effective cameo.

In short, a lot of talented people have not been well-served by the hit-and-miss quality of Les Pine and Tina Rome's script and Leo Perm's direction.
